I am going to the Vector Arena show AND Soundwave Festival because I already bought my Soundwave tickets a month ago!

NIN in two different countries in the same week? Fuckin aye!

I don't know how I managed to be so incredibly slow that I didn't find out till randomly seeing the article on Stuff at like 10.30 yesterday morning.... I squealed at my desk and spent the rest of the morning a little giddy.
Good way to brighten a gloomy Monday morning.

So guys (and girls ) Who wants to meet up and hang before the Auckland show?

Yeah we should definitely all try to meet up before/after if possible. Always nice to meet others who are into the same stuff you are

Void, are you going up the day before the show or the day of? Cos I'm from Chch too

WOOT! So glad I don't have to go to aussie to see LITS.

So anyone else from Wellington going? We should have like a whacky race from Wellie to Aucks!

Its monday morning and I only just woke up but this news has made my whole week already. Your a legend Trent, thanks for booking us lil ole kiwi's a date, I can't wait to see you guys.

I am! I can't wait!

From what Trent's said it probably won't be the same production etc. Heck, I have no idea what to expect.

Hey, void, what is the distance between Christchurch and Auckland? Could you take a random guess as how many km?

Probably 1000kmish. No idea really. I'd say it's about 400km to the top of the South Island from CHCH and probably more from Wellington to Auckland. Plus there's cook straight in the middle.

-> I looked it up and it said 1054.

You could take a week and gradually work yourself up there by car if you wanted. See all the little towns of NZ along the way. Might be fun.

Pre-sales are up now, just got mine. Hopefully see you all there.

Yeah, void, that is an idea... but I don't think I'll have the time to do that. I have a feeling I will be just flying to Auckland and flying out probably the next day. I'm still not even sure if I will be able to afford it. I'm owed so much money from my boss. :\

Oh well, going to stay positive and cross my fingers I can make it. We should have a meet up the day of the show. Would be neat. I remember we organised some meets before the Aussie shows... was good fun.

Just a suggestion.

Greetings from across the Tasman

I'll be heading over there from Sydney to attend the show!

It has turned out to be a great excuse to vist my family & friends over in NZ, even though NIN is the real reason to why I'm going (I know, I'm bad)

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Will head back to Sydney with my dear friend Rachel, and attend Soundwave together!

WHAT is wrong with the ticketbastard site for the Frontier Presale?
boohoo... I hope it works soon coz I won't be near a computer at 9am Wednesday. *cringes*

Have you managed to get your Tickets yet? I hope you have! Are you able to give Ticketmaster a call if you have not had any luck?

So I have figured out the logistics for this happy little trip to Aucks (f**kin hate the place, only going for the show!) and I figure I will have to ride an aeroplane there and back. What I would like to propose to other Welli cats is that we find out where to buy the cheap seats and all ride the same plane to and from so we can share cab/ shuttle costs. Last time I went to Auck to see a show it cost me more for the cab from the airport to the city than the plane ride cost...
I hope to ride the plane up at around lunchtime on the day of the show and ride back the next day at about lunchtime. Why not just cruise I say

I little hint for you and all the others flying into Auckland (like myself). There is a bus that leaves from just outside the domestic terminal that travels into the city and stops at all the major Hotels etc. Last time I caught it, a couple of months ago, it was $22 return. You did not have to use the return the same day, so you could use it on the way back to the airport when you are travelling home. It also runs every 15 minutes, which is great.

Here is a link for the Airport to City bus =) Hope it helps some of you out, as a taxi would be hella expensive!
