    Hope everyone has a wonderful time at the other BDO's left to come.

    Any questions, shoot me a PM.

    D barrier- no bags.
    Posters come with tubes, but no end caps for the tubes.
    Cloak check available at BDO, line-up can be daunting, but usually goes quickly.
    No pass outs allowed.

    Much love and Pearl Jam!

    ahh ok thanks for that.... sounds like it will be far away from stage though.. i guess we can't have everything! I'm off to Sydney too. Looking like some good set lists!

    Yes Auckland set list looked great. I really really really hope that they play BLACK. My favourite song of all time. If you see a bloke with purple hair, that will be me. Say hello if you see me, would be nice to meet you. :)>-

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 :)

    Click onto BDO site for Sydney, then click onto maps and times. It shows you where the Blue stage is and the Boss area.

    Hi all,
    Anybody knows where the band is staying in Sydney?
    Have something that needs to be delivered to the band or management.
    We from Indonesia have a signed petition for Pearl Jam to play in Indonesia.

    P.s.: Excuse me for seeming like being stalky. :)

    BDO Sydney

    Well that was my first BDO and for a festival show it was awesome. It suited me fine that the place was half empty as I could easily walk from Arcade Fire to PJ and be close to the front. I can't see there being a BDO 2015 if those numbers are anything to go by.

    Myself and the wife saw some Tame Impala, Cosmic Psychos, Mudhoney, Arcade Fire & Pearl Jam. The one thing that sucked was the ridiculous bar voucher system that had me queuing for an hour to buy VOUCHERS (!!!) when beside me every bar was empty. You Aussies have the transport down. Took me an hour to get home door to door but you need an Irishman in place when it comes to knowing how to sell beer!

    So glad they didn't have it at Gold Coast this year.
    I assumed they had done away with it completely (for obvious reasons) but apparently not....
