Re: 2007/01/28 - Melbourne, AUS - Princes Park South
I reckon this'll be a pretty good one actually. Tool'll be good, Muse'll be good, Violent Femmes never fail to impress and Peaches will be fun. Besides it's only first lineup, there's normally about triple this come the actual show.
Re: 2007/01/28 - Melbourne, AUS - Princes Park South
hope i can get tickets this time,
i never been to BDO before, will tool playing mean that i need to get there much earlier and wait at their stage all day (given the fanatical nature of fans)?

Re: 2007/01/28 - Melbourne, AUS - Princes Park South
I don't think waiting all day will be possible because (to be fair to the other people) they clear out the D-barrier like 2-3 times in the day. It should be done after each band in my opinion like at Roskilde, but then there's alot of bands and not enough time...also BDO employs a 2-stage system as main stage...
as for tickets being released at the same time...that's what they do EVERY year...it will definitely sell out quicker than previous years (esp. sydney as it always does), but I don't think it will be pandemonium like with the solo shows as they have ticket restrictions...and they never release all the tickets initially anyway. so yeah, stay positive.

I think lining up the night before might be a good idea
They do that every year. BDO usually doesn't sell out in hours. You will be fine buying them online or in person on the day. I can't see this one selling out in hours, given that Muse and Tool already have shows ticketed.
Re: 2007/01/28 - Melbourne, AUS - Princes Park South
yep. the quicket BDO sellout was like 1 month or something, and that was last year's sydney now...can't understand why though...they had such a shitty lineup! i mean fuckin white stripes?

Lateralus

Aenema
...plus one other song. At Coachella they played The Patient but who knows what they might add? Hopefully Right In Two or Rosetta Stoned in addition to the 9 songs i have predicted/listed above.
You can pretty much expect about 10 songs at a festival, with 11 or 12 at their own show (basically the same set list but ewith Wings/10,000 Days added).
At the moment I have visions of the festival crowd going wild as Stinkfist kicks in as the opening song. I was at the Gold Coast in 2004 when Metallica opened with Blackened. It was a pretty awesome sight...

However be alert not alarmed, we’re expecting to announce more shows in Sydney and Melbourne shortly – stay tuned for details. Don’t buy tickets off scalpers!
And a note to the TOOL faithful in all other corners of Australasia – never fear! Additional TOOL appearances in Auckland, Queensland, Adelaide and Perth are scheduled and will be announced shortly.

I think the “Additional TOOL appearances” they are referring to there are the Big Day Out shows, not more side shows. I remember reading those exact words allover the internet before the first announcement for the BDO lineup.

BDO sure would be fucking us around if they promise more side shows but actually were talking about their own show, but it does specifically say "we’re expecting to announce more shows in Sydney and Melbourne shortly – stay tuned for details. Don’t buy tickets off scalpers!"
It's such a fucking prick of a position. If Tool plan on doing another show why don't they just anounce something instead of keeping us in the dark? Either way lots of people get screwed over. There's those of us who don't want to risk missing out who blow $250+ on a scalped ticket and there's those of us who beleive BDO when they say more shows are being anounced - if they don't do more shows then those people will have to either miss out or pay much higher prices for scalped tickets, either way one group gets screwed over.

Legal shit, red tape, they cant just say shit left right and center, untill EVERYTHING is organised down to the ticket company's signing the deal to sell the tikets. Anything can happen until everything 100% ready to go that could fuk up entire shows, so they wont say anything until IT IS HAPPENING, not just CONFIRMED, which could mean word of mouth confirmed.
Re: 2007/01/28 - Melbourne, AUS - Princes Park South
They also don't want to give the scalpers a chance to make ANOTHER killing! And hopefully they have LEARNED something from the fiasco the 1st time around huh!
Re: 2007/01/28 - Melbourne, AUS - Princes Park South
Unfortunately I think the whole no ticket limit thing is a quirk of the Sidney Myer Music Bowl - a friend who started working there said that every event they had sold in recent years had no limit. But yes, if there is another show hopefully they will impose one. and if there is another show I think unfortunately it WILL be at the Bowl as both Rod Laver Arena and Vodafone Arena are out.
Re: 2007/01/28 - Melbourne, AUS - Princes Park South
I don't think the shows being at the bowl is an unfortunate thing at all. For starters, both Vodafone and Rod laver have some of the worst sound going around, and secondly the bowl has the best atmosphere you can imagine.
Re: 2007/01/28 - Melbourne, AUS - Princes Park South

Re: 2007/01/28 - Melbourne, AUS - Princes Park South
^I ordered my BDO tickets as soon as they went on sale at midnight etc. I received a confirmation email a few hours later and my credit card was charged for the tickets etc.
Today I received my tickets in the mail (registered post). The actual tickets look pretty cool. Anyway, don't worry, your tickets shoul arrive shortly... :)
