    What's the story with the pre-party? I deactivated my evil facebook some time ago... Also not 100% on when I'll be getting to Auckland if it'll be the night before or the day of BDO.

    Same, its stressing me out that I can't plan things.

    In the 2nd lineup there's only one band I've heard of, Villainy, who are awesome. I've seen them 4 times already. I assume they'll play early in the day so once I've seen them its all about Pearl Jam

    I've made it my goal of 2014 to get front row for Pearl Jam. I'll do it. I WILL!
    Pearl Jam Pearl Jam Pearl Jam!

    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

    Which shows are you going to? Have you seen the pre party events on Facebook? I'm gonna be there on my own too, but I'm only going to Auckland-Sydney. I've never been to a BDO before either :)Alright I've never been to Australia before. But I have an optimistic outlook.

    No, haven't seen the FB pre party pages ... any one got links???
    I'll be at melbourne BDO ... trying to be optimistic .. just have a terrible sense of direction and get a bit flustered when I get lost ... so hoping its pretty obvious where I need to be, but would like some idea on times etc as well, so would be handy to have some knowledgeable people to tag along with :)
