wildhorses Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 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 DecemberhighvoltageThinkAboutYouSydney: 4th DecemberhighvoltageThinkAboutYouAdelaide: 7th DecemberhighvoltageThinkAboutYouTeejay (Maybe - coming from Melbourne)Perth? (Rumoured)Sydney and Perth for me. and Im a definite for Adelaide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williambailey01 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 pretty tied up gunsguy?High Voltage is right all the tickets have even been delivered by nowThey have promo video's for Aus dates, and tour posters made up and were selling through the two biggest ticket providers in AustraliaBeen widely reported and all are on Andrew McMannus website (promoter) and venue websitesHave you seen any ads on TV for it. I caught one here a couple of weeks ago - was quite surprised.My mate has also tracked me down a tour poster too for the Perth gig which is cool (I noticed ones on ebay too)!!! Just gotta try and get it signed now.Sweet I've only seen the clips on the internet for the shows none on tv but I am in Melbourne and probably wouldn't make sense to promote any shows hereI have my ticket for Perth am hoping to make it across. Have some accommodation booked for Syd but have to book more for the whole tripHow many nights you recon I should stay in Perth? What should I check out?Given that the concert is on a Sat you may have wanted to get here a day earlier and or stay an extra day or something. I would offer to drive you round and do a few things but I can't guarantee it since my wife is due with our first baby (scary) on December 6th. So depending on when it arrives it could really mess any plans I make around then. I would also have offered you a place to crash too but again those plans could all turn to shit depending upon how things pan out. Hopefully we can still hook up for some beers concert day as a minimum and depending upon how long you are here if you want do some sightseeing and extra drinking I'm up for that if possible.Teejay, good idea getting out of Melbourne, those feral Collingwood supporters will become unbareable. Sad thing is I can't see the Saints (who you would expect to get over the Bulldogs) beating them. Then again it would be classic Collingwood getting to the GF in such dominant style, like their whole season and then falling over at the last hurdle! I wonder if Mick will cry again if that happens.
