Yes, that is awesome that waters is coming to australia!!

How come pink floyd never came to australia as much as they did in europe, america etc.?

well were not exactly close... And I think its the promoters as well

But fuck... how much am I looking forward to it!

The big question for me will be, "to smoke or not to smoke...?" I'm thinking not.

Oh and apparently there is gonna be a major announcement in the next few days. According to pinkfloydz.com

Who are the ticket vendors? There is nothing on Roger's site yet. That is odd.

Nothing...... http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/search/s ... oger+water

Actually, it isn't.

We have both 'master and 'tek here. Thanks for the link.

No worries.
Always thought that ticketek was ticketmaster, live and learn eh.
Just gutted I'm not down there to see any of the shows. Waiting to see what UK dates he's going to announce. Been lucky enough to see 2 shows on this tour and I can highly recommend it. Can't wait to see him again.

I have only seen him once in 2002 in Birmingham. Was a good show and I was not far from the front. Roger is ace!!

I am looking forward to seeing him again.

Been to see Roger 4 times now, and for 3 of them Nick turned up as a surprise guest. I reckon if I keep going eventually Rick and Dave might turn up too! Fingers crossed...

Old Rog don't come cheap. Platinum seats are around $400, gold $300, and silver $200 (Australian$$$$). I guess he doesn't intend losing four hundred thousand pounds on this trip.

Presumably a platinum seat gives you a backstage pass as well as permission to play guitar and duet onstage for a couple of songs, gold will get you close enough to boo (or bootleg) him, while silver gives him permission to spit at you. Bronze seating will get you a tent two kilometres outside the stadium and permission to pick through the litter afterwards for signed guitarpicks.

This ticketting system was the same that persuaded me to give Clapton's tour of Oz a miss (tickets for EC's one NZ gig, at a winery outside Auckland of all the unlikely places, sold out in about half an hour and are now going for platinum prices on net trading sites). I have not come across this ticketting system in NZ, so it will be interesting to see how much cash we will need to shell out to hear Roger sing about money (yes, I know he intended that song to be ironic, but at those prices the irony will be bitter-sweet).

After this rant, I will still do my best to catch him live.

Good thing that the airlines occaisionally offer cheap flights, even at $200 a pop for the cheap tickets, that's pushing it.

Oh well. I can still fly to Melbourne, not eat, sleep on the street and come home the next day. Should be worth it.

Roger is going to be in NZ on the 29th of January, and I am going to be on holiday with my family at the other end of the country on that day

Oh well; I still have "Tripped Out In Cork"
