Any of these would be excellent but if I could see Karnivool and Tool live I would be very happy indeed.
Re: 2007/01/24 - Sydney, AUS - Entertainment Centre
Me and my mate just took the plunge and got 2 GA tickets for Sydney from ebay, got ripped off by fuken scalpers, but we know that once were waiting for them to start, wel be so happy we got them. Coming all the way from perth, driving, lol, gonna be a crazy trip, such a bitch they arent doing a BDO side show in Perth. Gona stay in Sydney for Aus Day and maaaybe BDO, buying these tickets has opned up a sik 3 day stay in sydney cos of all of it happening one day after another. And if Isis are opening, ill be going nuts, seems MORE than likely, seeing as though theyve been opening for the entire tour lately.

I'm sure it will be an awesome experience, not that i have tried mushys but psychadelics + tool = zing! I wouldn't advise it in the mosh though, could get a little crazy. I get really edgy if i take acid around crowds and im the slightest bit uncomfortable or annoyed, tends to be amplified 2,000 times! I'll be seated yet im still going straight as i want to remember it in it's entirety! Also with BDO on the next day don't want to be a mess when im climbing through the crowd to cling to the front barrier :P

Re: 2007/01/24 - Sydney, AUS - Entertainment Centre
yeh i think perhaps if was going to see em more than once, id add some psychadelics to the equation once... but cuz this the first tool show i get to see, and probably the last for some time, im not gonna risk some shit trip fuckin it all up.
heh, i spin out enough with pure tool enough as it is anyhow

Isis have said that they are not doing BDO as their application was refused and that they will probably be doing solo shows in Feb instead of backing up Tool.
Maybe Meshuggah will do it! Deftones have been rumored for BDO also, so they're a possibility.
Re: 2007/01/24 - Sydney, AUS - Entertainment Centre
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has a spare ticket to see Tool at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on Jan 24th (I know these posts are not allowed, and I'm real sorry, but i'm also desperate for a ticket). I'd be willing to pay a fair bit for it, i just don't want to give the scalpers on ebay any money.
Re: 2007/01/24 - Sydney, AUS - Entertainment Centre
Anyone else think it's completely fucking awesome that Roger Waters will be playing the DAY AFTER TOOL?? (both in sydney and melb) What a fucking week of music...and i'll be back just in time!
Thu 25 Jan - Acer Arena Sydney
Thu 1 Feb - Rod Laver Arena at Melbourne Park
Mon 5 Feb - Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Wed 7 Feb - Adelaide Entertainment Centre
Fri 9 Feb - Members Equity Stadium Perth
Re: 2007/01/24 - Sydney, AUS - Entertainment Centre
That's interesting that he is playing at Acer Arena (Sydney Superdome) on Thursday January 25th while the Big Day Out is on right next door at the Sydney Showgrounds...
Tool will most likely come on at 9pm at the BDO and at about the same time only few hundred metres away a member of one of their biggest influences will be playing all sorts of good stuff, including Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety.
It's a shame that the Roger Waters gig isn't the next day as I'd love to go...
I reckon the members of Tool would want to go as well...

Nah.. the person who posted seemed to be referring to the concert, not the BDO. The 10,000 extra tix for the BDO are being dirawn by random ballot over the site.
I just read that too and fully started flipping out!! Anyone manage to find another source...cos the person on the BDO forum didnt appear to quote anything. Ooh wait i just realised that link is for a different thing than what i read. How absolutley fcking great! (I dont like my chances but what the heck.. get excited anyway).
Re: 2007/01/24 - Sydney, AUS - Entertainment Centre
From BDO Websites SideShow section, seems were getting more shows anounced soon. Hopefully, altho wel wait till we hear official word confirming all this stuff.
THE BIG DAY OUT SIDESHOWS!!!
Here we go! many more to be announced as we get closer to the Summer series!
TOOL
SYDNEY l Wednesday 24 January l Sydney Entertainment Centre
MELBOURNE l Wednesday 31 January l Myer Music Bowl

Was that not part of the initial "Sold Out" announcement in which we all decided 'additional appearances' were for the BDO? Not sure where you got that info but im pretty sure the last bit is old suff and no longer relevant since they have already been announced for the BDO - ie the 'additional appearances'.
Edit: ok so you said clearly where you got the info from =p Perhaps 'not sure how up-to-date that info is' would be more appropriate =p

They should all be classified as 'silver' tickets as the only seats left are the ones originally displayed as "side view" in the seating plan and side-view seats typically are of lower price etc. Expect these to be sold for $90.
Have a look at the seating plan below: I'd imagine that tickets will be in sections, 1, 2, 18, 19 (right hand side) and 16, 17, 37, 38 (left hand side). Roughly speaking, that's about 1000 or so tickets all up.
Re: 2007/01/24 - Sydney, AUS - Entertainment Centre
Was anyone lucky enough to get their hands on one or two of the few tickets they released this morning? And also, does anyone know how long it took to sell out - not long methinks.
Re: 2007/01/24 - Sydney, AUS - Entertainment Centre
you know i havent seen any other info on this other than the BDO website. seems odd that theres nothing new on ticketmaster either. im not saying that it hasnt happened, just seems odd for very little mention of it.
Re: 2007/01/24 - Sydney, AUS - Entertainment Centre
I actually was wondering...because Newcastle only has 2 outlets and i drove past one at 8am and there was no-one in sight. I found this slightly odd as i am sure there are plenty of tool fans in newcastle that would be getting in early..
*shrug* i guess we'll see

Yeah guys. if you want to go, this is your chance. It's 11:24pm now and there are still tickets available - but right at the side of the stage. You'll be able to see everything in profile or back view :-/ Not sure if it's worth the hundred bucks...
Re: 2007/01/24 - Sydney, AUS - Entertainment Centre
Well I got one of the extra released, not sure how good the seat will be but hey it's tool so I'm pretty happy just to be there.
