The several times I've been there, it's been cold and windy.

When I went there to see Bowie in 2004 it absolutely bucketed down with rain... great for an open-air venue.. NOT.

It's still pretty good weather here at the moment. But it would pay to bring a jersey in case there is one of those random cold days we often incounter. But I wouldn't bother with a hefty raincoat if your planning on only staying in the CBD for a few nights.

Weta Workshop was going to be involved right from the beginning, they got mentioned even before the first act had been announced.

I'm picking it will be an awesome stage-show with amazing costumes and special effects.

from what i heard the price drop is through vodafone, a desperate thing to sell tickets coz they need them all to sell to cover costs and what not i think...not one hundred percent, its cool aye
wish i had money right now
really do
instead i got a speeding ticket, wof and rego to pay as well as a few old debts

absolutely kicking myself for just buying korn and comedy gala tickets lol

wellington just plainly sucks.

its hard enuff to get wellingtonians to pay $5.00 to see some good local bands let alone a hundred or so to see some international bands. Yet they que for hours to get into a trendy courtenay place nightclubs.

Maybe if there was a rugby game in there somehow they'd be interested.

someone said this(pricing going down) also happend in wellington at the rollingstones but i dont know if thats true.

Woah, I heard the promotor lost money on this one... perhaps he'll go for something other than a bunch of nostalgia acts... or at least grab some that are still relevant today.

only went to the 2nd night, but whitesnake were outstanding! Poison were wicked too! Ozzy was pretty much just like his live DVDs but still good nonetheless.
