    no im not. if i have to make the trip i have a friend in melbourne getting 10C tix.
    I'm seriosuly thinking now about Perth, but I think it's too much of an expense and too long a holiday (I'll have to go over before Melb and not come back till after Perth). It's a shame, I think it'll be a good gig...
    Edit: Thought I'd add Auckland will also kick ass! They won't have been here for nearly 9 years when they finally come back!
  • When do you think they will announce NZ shows???

    Great news! Mine hasn't arrived yet, but I'll expect it soon. Had you emailed 10C yet? Maybe they'll have sent you another one already! You'd better send it back ;)
  • bayleafbayleaf Posts: 128
    Haha yeh, I emailed them a few days ago so they may have allready sent another.

    I'll see you there dude. Know of any cheap flights? I think I might go see a trave agent I can't be bothered finding the cheapest flight.

    Aww, I'd go to see them in Aussie, but I don't think I can afford the show tickets, plus plane tickets, plus getting a new visa :(

    Emirates have flights for about $200 (plus taxes and surcharges, I guess) but they only fly there in the evening and back in the morning but it's daily. Don't know how much extra the taxes etc will be. The quote I got from Flight Centre was about $750 all up but that was Qantas that has their flights at about $250 each way. So that gives you some idea, if you went Emirates you might get it for $650 or so?
  • bazzerbazzer Posts: 3,126
    Air New Zealand have some packages on their website for about $700 return to Melbourne including 4 nights accomodation, seems a good deal.

    I've got my local House of Travel on the case. Mine's a bit more complex, cos of going to Adelaide too and trying to get a direct flight back from there. I think it should work out OK, I'll probably try and stay in hostels or something, most seem to have double rooms with ensuites for pretty cheap (under $100 a night). I don't know where else to stay...

    What I have done is made friends with a lovely lady in Melbourne who has no Pearl Jam friends (like me) and she is going to share her 10C ticket with me. I'm hoping I there is a NZ show but if the worst should arise I know I've got 10C ticket waiting for me in Aussie. Just a matter of getting flights. I've got 2 possible cheap accomodation sources sorted.

    Just networking with people who share the same interests as you. Also people who are on the same level as yourself emotionally.

    So, are you staying at her place?
    Otherwise what cheap accommodation to you have? I'm thinking of renting a place for the week, there are places like that I think...

    I'm pretty annoyed right now. I had the possiblity of getting flights from the AirNZ website, to MEL return from ADL for 2 people for ~$1270. House of Travel Browns Bay were meant to get back to me with a package yesterday, they didn't. I rang them yesterday afternoon to see what was up and apparently there was a lady that doesn't work Tuesdays that must have been the one that talked to me and she was back in the office today. So I rang today and it wasn't her and no one there remembers talking to me on Monday. So I decide just to buy the tickets of the website and they have gone up to ~$1550! Great, thanks to the incompetence of House Of Travel I lost about $300.
