And purely a personal opinion, it will be vector or nothing. 2003 proved that. They wont play ericson (which is hosting U2 on Nov 24/25), nor the supertop.

No disrespect to you... but think about it... i think its possible that they could play at Ericson, ( i would hope they didnt play at supertop )...
Look at it though... If U2 were playing ericson on the 24/25 Nov, that means that the field will be availible for concerts... who know's you might even get a suprise and get Bono to join the boys onstage (hey it happend in Toronto last year... never say never..)

I think the more important thing he have to look at here is who is going to promote the show??? So far i havent heard much about this... or if coppell are going to ?

Before we can assume a venue.. lest try and assume a promoter...

No promotor = No show..... Once they have a promotor then the promotor can worry about the venue...

Also other options are.. Auckland town hall or Auckland Civic Theater.. (both highly unlikely)

Lets also talk about how many people would attend the show...
Now i know last time they came to Auckland we had a staggering 25,000 at ericson.
Suppose there was only going to be a show in Auckland.... that would surely increase if not be the same amount of people at the show... Also you would have the Auzzies and other countries get in too... after all it would be a memorable concert first time since '98, surely there will be some rare tunes played...

Anyhow

Play with that... i'll step back and watch for a while?[/quote]

Coppel replied to my email - basically if they play NZ, coppel will promote it.

I see your logic, really i do. But again, in my opinion 2003 showed that they dont want to do ericcson. Lets face it, why do bands skip NZ? venues! Pearl Jam did it, Radiohead, coldplay, NIN, whoever.

They wont play the civic and they wont play the townhall. North Shore Events Centre is an outside chance.

I dont know why they just dont do what the stones did, and play Western Springs (seated).

Joey, buddy, I wish you were right, I hope you are right, I just dont think you are. But I still think there is a 80% chance Vector will happen - might ring a few contacts - if you want the specific details PM me.....

If what you say is true, I'm glad I'm flying back from Oz on the 23rd!

NSEC is a no go. It only holds 4000-ish I think, not to mention the whole resource consent thing. I don't think we'll be seeing many (any?) more concerts at NSEC.
I agree, Western Springs would be great and I think they could sell it out, maybe not to the extent of the Stones, but there were maybe a few too many GA tickets sold to that (if you listen to the old-timers). Fully seated @ ~$100 is a sell out for sure.
If you hear anything specific, shoot me a PM, I'm interested. I might ask around a few people I know too...

I'll PM you now, and there were too many people at the stones......but again they had the option in 2003 and didnt use it - why would they this time?

Didn't look like too many from where I was, just a poorly organised crowd, blame that on the lax security. Anyway, PJ wouldn't sell that many tickets anyway. How many were seated at the Stones, and how many in GA, anyone know?

Well I was on the hill, and it was chaos

Pearl Jam woudnt sell that many tickets?
My friend you are mistaken...
I think they could get 20,000 easily...

We were discussing PJ at Western Springs. PJ wouldn't sell as many tickets as the Stones did there. They had around 50,000 didn't they?
BTW, I agree with you, they could get 20,000 easy. More like 30,000 I reckon (or is that wishful thinking?)

And up a couple of spots too. Any big albums being released in the next few weeks? Maybe it can get up there and snatch #1!

Stadium Arcadium obviously might take off a bit, its actually not a bad album.
Audioslave have got one coming soon, but its more than likely to be a bunch of shit. Cornells lost it, Morello never had it (in my view) and some of their lyrics are pure filth. Fuck, "to be yourself is all that you can do" ????? Yikes.
