highvoltage Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Alright guys, so these dates are unusually spread apart distance wise and aren't in capital cities... still I've noticed a number of people that seem keen to travel for the shows. I'm sure like me, not many of your friends are going to want to travel to Townsville or Adelaide to see GN'R and you guys might be faced with the prospects of going to the shows on your own...!So I'm going to try to get an idea of numbers - where people are from, what shows they are going to and whether they'll be flying, driving, etc and see what I can do in terms of organising meetups, finding cheapest flights (probably only for people travelling from Sydney) and we can try book the same ones, etc. Alternatively, if you're an Adelaide or Townsville local and want to help out giving advice on where to stay, drink, eat, etc that would be great.This may well end up as a massive fail, but I thought i'd at least give it a shot...!So post in the thread below where you're from and what your intentions are in terms of making the shows. I'll edit the first post with the names of those attending the shows.Townsville: 1st DecemberhighvoltageThinkAboutYouVogstarSydney: 4th DecemberhighvoltageThinkAboutYourosetattooVogstarAdelaide: 7th DecemberhighvoltageThinkAboutYouTeejay (Maybe - coming from Melbourne)drewhiggins?Perth:williambailey101rosetattooashysdad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williambailey01 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Seems like a Perth concert is going ahead, if that's the case then I will be attending that one.Not flying to see any other gigs - flew over to catch Slash in Sydney recently so can't justify the costs again.

highvoltage Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Well I was hoping to come to Perth too - but I got a massive speeding fine on the weekend and I'm now down $900. I'm going to post this list over at HTGTH as well and see if those guys want to meet up with us so we can get a bit of a crowd happening.
