    so i have a fucked up ankle gives me a lot of pain I can walk around unaided but using a crutch/es definitely helps me. Im thinking about using it at bdo . do you think security will be dicks if im using a crutchand refuse me entery or say im going to use it as a weapon?

    The blue women's singlets only go up to a size 12 & it's TINY. The black one with the sticker image on it is Auckland specific obviously with just the Ak sticker image on it. There weer the stickers & koozies(? I think that's what you clal them. Beer can holder things) & a cap. The black t-shirt with the lightning bolt image on the front says "Australia tour" above "Pearl..." on the back so yeah, I didn't buy that one. B-) Anyway, pretty cool merch I thought. :)

    beware though - they didn't put all the merch out at the same time. i only managed to get a poster because i happened to see one much later than i initially checked. otherwise i wouldn't have bothered. I never saw the stickers.

    and they don't let bags into the D. plan accordingly.

    There was definitely a significant sick because by 6 there was still stuff being sold, t shirts, stickers, & hats. I didn't notice posters, but I wasn't looking.

    Hey bro click on this site and ask them if you can bring your crutches in with you. I wouldn,t think they would class a crutch as a weapon, I think they mean knives and guns and knuckle dusters and the like. The site is info@bigdayout.com . Best of luck.

    I have found that taking a pain pill (I use OTC pain reliever) about an hour before the show makes the experience less painful during, but the next day you will feel it.

    and for the record I'm not an old man. I'm just an American with no health insurance. O:-)

    I have a feeling I won't be able to walk tomorrow. The pit crush leg pain tends to hit 2 days later. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

    HI guys... did anyone have like a boss tickets? or did you notice where bouts the viewing areas were? i'd never been to a BDO before and sprung for them, now im concerned as last years reviews were terrible. Im hoping if they are bad i will just leave that section but this old chick is not sure if a full mosh pit i can handle anymore. Any reviews of this would be greatly appreciated :)

    I have a Boss ticket for Sydney. I enquired if they have seating in the boss area , as I have back and neck injuries. They said that there is seating in the stands. That,s why I bought a boss ticket , Because I am too old and wounded to handle a day in the mosh pit.

    At GC, the like a boss side was actually close to the Arcade Fire stage, and still a fair way back as well. I know they were probably limited were they could put it due to being in a stadium, but I would have been disappointed if I had bought them. Although, completely understand having them for health/ body issues
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me
