    Welcome aboard José !! Thanks for the link - I'm just hoping I can get a glimpse of Arcade Fire from the where I'll be set up for PJ if they are on directly before them. Saw Arcade Fire a few years ago and they are brilliant live
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me

    Funny that they seem to consider 2 hours a "full set" for Pearl Jam. Maybe most other bands! Still two hours is pretty decent.

    I'm all booked for flights, got what I consider to be a decent deal on Priceline. All non-stop on Virgin Australia for $462. I could've gotten it cheaper but I put a premium on time. It's my first trip to Oz and I'd rather not be on an airplane for the most of it. ;)

    I love it when a plan comes together!

    I've also been instructed to see Mudhoney perform, by someone with excellent taste in music.

    Awesome prices for flights, can you please PM what the itinerary is?
    I can't seem to get my prices for flights so low.
    Thanks.

    It's the flights from Auckland to Oz and then within Oz for the first 5 BDO dates, I can't do Adelaide and Perth due to time restrictions. And I'm a she.

    My flight from NYC includes a stopover in Hawaii and cost 735 for the first leg, then 626 for the second. All prices shown in USD :P

    http://www.hipmunk.com/ is the website i use for flights. I found that booking directly with AirNZ gave a cheaper price for the same flight, even though both websites showed prices in USD. But for seeing the available options for flights and times and prices I really like that website.

    Just read the Google doc Jodie & re transport to & from Western Springs in Auckland can you add that Western Springs is very easy to get to from downtown Auckland on public transport. Any bus that is going to West Auckland goes right past it + there will be extra buses running I'm sure. The bus costs NZ$3.04 each way. For those not wanting to bus I think a cab to downtown would be NZ$15ish. I really do suggest staying downtown. It's easy to get to from the airport(shuttle buses) + good for whatever else you might like to do while in Auckland & there are many hostels &/or hotels

    Anyone coming to Auckland who wants any tips or help feel free to PM me. :).

    I agree about staying downtown, way easier! There's a good hotel in the city called 'City Central Hotel' if anyone wants somewhere cheapish to stay that isn't a hostel, its just not a fancy hotel. I've stayed there 3 times and its always clean and comfortable. :mrgreen:

    I'm looking to buy a single ticket to Ed's Sydney Opera House show, PM me if you've got a spare! I don't care where the seat is! :D

    Lived in NYC for the past 10 years and I am moving to Melbourne in two weeks. Naturally I was upset when they announced the North American tour since I would only get to see them at wrigley this year.....then they make this Big Day out announcement!!!!

    I will be at Melbourne, Sydney 1 & 2, and possibly Perth (still working on Gold Coast also)

    Can't wait to have beers with all of you
