if they do play nz it would be strategicly done around the welington gig so as 2 avoid direct competition. thats what happened with sting and bdo so that ppl can go 2 both. i know people that are goin 2 both bdo and sting, if the pumpkins and queens did the gigs on different days to the welly thing then id go 2 both. im not sure if what i just said made sence but there you go

Wow, how is everyone affording all these tickets? I mean, we're talking $120+ per gig here. That's gotta add up...

Like my 2004 Feb 14th/15th Weekend.

David Bowie - Saturday night @ Wellington - 2 Gold tix @ $185 ea, plus flights and accomm
A Perfect Cirlcle - Sunday night @ ChCh

Expensive, but totally worth it. Some advance planning was definately required for my g/f and I to afford that one. Best weekend of all time for me though.

Yeah its costing me around $1700 for this rock2wgtn gig with tickets, flights, accomm and passport....but lifes too short to worry about the money side of it. NEVER will i have the chance to see this line-up over 2 days again.

CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!

And i did pay $1400 AU for a ticket to see KISS in Melbourne in 2004 and meet them backstage, and i will NEVER forget that....Greatest night of my life.

True bro, I'm sure I could be getting $30-40 an hour doing what I do in Christchurch.

RE: Rock2WGTN

Meh, it all balances out in the end. Your cost of living is higher - $17/hour trolley boys make grocery prices higher.

... and this is going Off Topic. Back to Rock2Wgtn please!
