    That's really annoying about the 2nd show being cancelled. Hopefully the refund process isn't too annoying (I bought mine from General Pants).

    Am totally pee'd off - have bought ticket for 27th TO avoid the crush of Australia Day. Fukkah!!!!

    Yeah I'd say a lot of people bought tickets for the 27th for that reason. Are you going to go on the 26th then?

    It's definitely working, I was in there earlier today. I think you have to be friends with one of us organisers so PM me or princess bulldozer.

    Anyone flying from the US, check out flights on Cathay Pacific. Seems like some "cheap" fares started showing up (~$1700 round trip NYC-Melbourne). These were north of $2,000 up till a week or so ago, and I've been looking the last few months and haven't found fares cheaper than ~$1,600 on any airline. I can't say enough good things about Cathay. Most importantly, they handle flight transfers like a pro.

    PS Jodie, that's a nice looking Word document you got there :mrgreen:

    Has there been any official word from the band about this? I would have thought they'd post something in the news section maybe. Obviously it wont change a thing but . . . well Im not really sure where Im going with this.

    Awesome. Good luck! Just so you're aware, Aussie Open is January 13-26 in Melbourne, and Chinese New Year is January 31 which might have some impact on the fares (since Cathay flies through Hong Kong). I didn't think the fare would drop from the $2,000 round trip range and it did so it's anyone's guess what it will do. If you see a fare that's lower than what you've been seeing, you might want to snap it up unless you have flexibility in when you are flying.

    Damn too bad I booked my flights already.

    I still have to plan ~2 weeks in NZ, how far in advance are hotels and busses and things usually booked for domestic NZ travel?

    No idea sorry. Late Jan shouldn't be too bad though. Still busy time but not crazy busy like over Xmas or Easter I expect.

    You mean the cancellation of the January 27 Sydney Big Day Out?

    It's been removed from the list in the Pearl Jam Tour section but that's it.

    Hi all, I will be happy to help set up in Melb... my umpteenth PJ show but first involved with 10Club.... I fly in 22nd & have 23rd free to help with whatever... I am an Aussie living in New Caledonia & it will be my wife's first ever PJ show & first ever stadium experience... If you need anything in Melb, contact me, I have plenty of family down there & contacts to help arrange stuff... <!-- e --><a href="mailto:greatwhite@shirehunters.com">greatwhite@shirehunters.com</a><!-- e -->

    Look forward to a pre party & GOD PLEASE BLESS US ALL & let PJ do some sort of private show, preferable 10club based ticketing.... I am with some other posts, BDO is kinda lame these days, basically don't know any other bands playing, who cares about Snoop Dog then who? Either way, PJ is the highlight so let the countdown begin!

    Wasn't going to buy tickets for Melbourne when I heard about them playing BDO's but its made me so sad and angry and family are like just buy the goddamn tickets (even small child)!! I've read your forum and am thinking just maybe I won't feel 100 if surrounded by the people of Ten!! Have my finger on the BDO ticket sales... would love to join the pre party..

    Do it, I didn't want to go to a festival either, but there is no other way to see PJ. We are going to Sydney BDO and I thought you will regret it if you don't go. :)

    Has anyone spoken about what will be the deal with merch on the BDO tour? Will there be posters available? How awkward carrying a poster around all day! Maybe pop up shops the day before each show?

    Wow. I'm going to be there too.

    Hoping it's not going to be a really hot day that day .. but of course it will. Either that or a huge thunderstorm. :lol:
