    Ive noticed some of us are getting 15 mins more pj than others! Very disappointed with Adelaides set up its tiny not much room for main stage and only one area for merch

    oh except some have PJ from 8 til 10.30. i hope we still get the same length show since that's 15 minutes longer than auck.

    Auckland folks is anyone considering parking up at the front of the blue stage for the day? I'm a BDO newbie so not sure how difficult it would be to a/ get there and then b/ stay there and c/ get out to loos and food/drink... I'm guessing a solid PJ group would be the only way? Thoughts?

    Thing is we just don't know what the set-up's going to be with the new venue & all. Can you make it to the pre-party at Father Ted's in town the evening before? I'm sure we'll be sussing strategies there.

    Yep I'm flying up from Welly after work so will be there by 9, hopefully still going strong then! The flyby gives a pretty good lay of the land, although they have talked about different D-barrier set-up whereas it looks the same from what I've seen?
