BBoys in Sydney (Hordern)

[mikelip]

A friend said he saw a poster for the BBoys. Jan 26 Hordern Pavillion. Tix onsale Oct 26.

:-)

[tpk]

and melbourne on the 28th if i'm not mistaking.

[mikelip]

Interesting that this is the same day as the Big Day Out. So I guess the band will play BDO during the day and Hordern at night.

I wonder if I can bum a ride from the showgrounds to downtown with them ;-)

[nickhead]

threeDworld said the same date:
http://www.threedworld.com.au/news/news_home.php#17

and they said the melbourne side show would be on feb 2 at festival hall

:confused: it seems odd they'd be playing the same day as the bdo - espeically since theyre not doing the same in melbourne..

i need some official confirmation before i can believe it..

[nickhead]

has anyone ever been to both the hordern in sydney and festival hall in melbourne? if so, which is better?

[minton]

The above is incorrect. The Melbourne show is February 2, 2005 at Festival Hall.

[nickhead]

The above is incorrect. The Melbourne show is February 2, 2005 at Festival Hall.

so does that mean the sydney date is correct?

[minton]

They're both shocking (in summer anyway), but the better of the two is Horden Pavillion. :)

[tpk]

yeah i lost the date sorry :)

did say "if im not mistakin" though.

[annakey]

:eek: my guess is that chemicals will main stage the big D so b-oys can get the hell out 2 play the hordon.....which is not such a bad venue---there are worse places to play,they have done quite a bit since 2 it since the bad ol days ,saw the swollen members and black eyed p's there sun..nite..the place--it still rocks!

[Dunny]

as if theyd do bdo and a sideshow same day...

[nickhead]

the date for sydney above is WRONG.
the bboys will play the hordern pavillion on FRIDAY JANUARY 28 (NOT the same day as the bdo) read it here:
http://www.undercover.com.au/news/2004/oct04/20041015_beastieboys.html

what I want to know is when tix go on sale??

[minton]

Yeah, it's the Sydney BDO on Wednesday 26 January 2005 and the Horden Pavillion show on Friday 28 January 2005.

All of this information will be coming up here soon, with tickets on sale shortly.

[mikelip]

Thanks Minton :)

Friday 28th is awesome.

Will there be a presale? I believe public tix onsale Oct 26th.

Thanks,
Mike.
Edit. Oct 26th, not 25th is what i heard.

[mewz]

Yeaaaahhhh bwwwoooy! I can't wait for this! I get to see the Beasties twice in 3 days :cool:

Presale tickets would be sweet...

[tpk]

so what now? i was right anyway. geeesh!

[minton]

so what now? i was right anyway. geeesh!

Got to love that edit function. :D

[tpk]

Got to love that edit function. :Dhaaha no way that's what i wrote in the first place!

[Johann]

Time to rip down some of those posters! :D

[hitmonlee]

if you do that any chance you could put one on ebay or maybe we could arrange something???

[mikelip]

So I just checked with my friend. He made a mistake, the poster does say Jan 28 :o

still watching my email for the presale info. ;) tix onsale to public v soon .....

[bob_still_lives]

for real? when's the pre-sale and do u ahve to be a memebr of anything? i still cant believe they're coming! :eek:

[nickhead]

Time to rip down some of those posters! :D


like so (http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Zone/6260/bboy-poster.jpg) :D

[Johann]

Yeah, i'm going in to the city tonight and tmrw so if I see one/some i'll try rip them down.
Don't worry about Ebay, if I get one you could just pay for postage.
I paid 15 bucks off Ebay for a street size poster of Hello Nasty's release, it's great because it's so big but paying that much for something that was plastered on a wall....might aswell be honest ay?
Nickhead, is that from the street press?

[nickhead]

^ yeah i ripped it out of the brag. i'd love to get a decent version of it though.. maybe someone might sell it somewhere? sanity.com.au are still selling the posters from the last tour

[mikelip]

Well its official:
http://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=BEASTIEB05&searchId=e7d08630-8da9-4586-af22-20025332ad9c

Problem is tix onsale on Tuesday and no presale info. Its Thursday night here.

Last newsletter i got was Oct 6. Anyone have a more recent one?

[hitmonlee]

^ yeah i ripped it out of the brag. i'd love to get a decent version of it though.. maybe someone might sell it somewhere? sanity.com.au are still selling the posters from the last tour

just because something is listed on the sanity website, doesn't mean that the item:

a) exists
b) is in stock
c) or will ever be in stock

[nickhead]

true. but i've ordered a few obscure items from them before and have always received them - albeit after a month of waiting. I should try ordering the bboys poster just to see.

[Rancid_Beasties]

Beastie boys are playing festival hall in melbourne on the 2nd of February according to my friend, and he got it from the entertainment guide in the age. Getting my ticket on tuesday thats for sure.

Ohh yeah, and about sanity, they took 2 months to deliver me a beastie boys 2 shirt, they totally suck dont buy off them or trust them in any way shape or form.

[mikelip]

Sanity's record stores suck too. Almost every record store sucks these days in Aus.

http://www.utopia.com.au <--- now thats a cool record store (but I dont think they sell on the web). I was there on the weekend. Lots of vinyl; lots of different styles of music in stock, not just heavy metal anymore. I didnt look at the T's though.

[redlantern2051]

Utopia is a good store for alternate stuff, I personally like Borders tho. Cheaper than HMV, and I just prefer their selecvtion-they are very competitive on prices. Sanity suck.

Hey does anyone know how MUCH these tickets are going to be?? They go on sale Tuesday and I have people wanting to know how much they are!! Whatever the cost, (within reason), I'm down++++++++vibes+++++++++++

sanity (n)
jb hi-fi are best for price but they don't have many stores
borders never have anything I want
so I shop at hmv. I usually find what I'm after (and pay for it too i guess)

as for bboys ticket prices.. my guess is $70-$80... not that it really matters. I'm paying whatever it costs

[redlantern2051]

$70-$80 would be very reasonable. The cost doesn't really worry me, but just I have about 3 friends that have promised to come, but I'll believe it when I see the cash. At this point, I think it'll just be me and a girl from work. That'll be cool. Its all about the Beasties anyway, I'll go alone if needs be!!!! WHO CARES!!! For me, this is a dream come true!!!

[Johann]

Haha, Utopia suck too, they are too expensive!
They are like Harrods!, and it feels like a K-Mart in there.
The cd's/vinyl are about $5-10 more, the Euphoria section (Hip Hop etc section) does have a decent range but noone wants to pay more than they have too.
I'm sticking with the net for buying my music! (y)
I went into HMV and they are selling Hello Nasty on vinyl for $41!
and then next to it Pauls Boutique on Vinyl is $18!

I'm guessing tix will be about 80 bucks....

[minton]

Buying music in Australia? Don't waste your time. JB HiFi is useless - they don't stock properly, their staff on average know little to nothing about music. They do however offer better prices than most others do most of the time. As for HMV and Sanity, well, they will stock the mainstream stuff but little else. They suck. They have trouble ordering items in, they don't keep their online catalogue up-to-date to name a couple of issues. Stick to the smaller stores, or shop overseas. That's what I do. :)

That's correct, they are. We should get this info up on the site before tickets go on sale. :o

I still like missing link in melbourne and jb hifi out of the commercial chains. But i really hate sanity and hmv, they are rip off artists and have a shitty range.

As for the melbourne show, how come you guys didn't have it on the site earlier, i thought you'd get the word long before the newspapers. Same with bdo.

[Johann]

$77.40 y'all!

[nickhead]

as for bboys ticket prices.. my guess is $70-$80...

^yep they're $77.40 (link (http://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=BEASTIEB05&searchId=f89903c6-1770-459b-8365-e28b9d9ca419)). gotta make sure I set my alarm to be up and on the computer at 9am tomorrow :D

[mewz]

Hey Johann,

If you've got any spare posters, I'd love one. I'm from Canberra, so we don't have any up around here. I'd be more than happy to pay for postage!

peace

[minton]

We only add dates to the site when they're passed onto us with the instruction to do so. So we don't call the shots there.

I did mention it a while ago when Adam H. told me in late September about the Australian dates though, for those who were browsing the forums. :)

[nickhead]

SCRIBE is the support act

[mewz]

^^^

Aw man, I'm so not a fan of scribe!! I wish it was some Aussie's representing...a bit of Koolism or Hilltop Hoods would go down a treat.

We had the scribe cd at my work, and I heard it many a time...some of the tracks were alright, but overall he's a bit too Rnb-ish for my liking...not to mention the whole American accent thing...

[tpk]

the shows in australia better be good cause i'm gonna get my ass over there.

[minton]

the shows in australia better be good cause i'm gonna get my ass over there.

They'll be good.

You'd better lose your hair before you head over though - 40 degree heat at an outdoor festival with metres of hair wrapped around your head is asking for trouble.

[Dunny]

in the hordern, is it all general admission? or when you book do you decide on floor or seats?

[mewz]

the shows in australia better be good cause i'm gonna get my ass over there.

Where are you from, tpk?

I'm sure the Boys will be great...I'm just not that stoked on the support...I hope you don't take Scribe as an indication of Aussie talent (he is from New Zealand after all! :rolleyes: )

[w00dy]

tix on sale 2morrow...

all you sydney siders good luck fighting for bandwith with all the killers fans who will be after tickets for brisbane, sydney and melbourne on ticketek... they go on sale @ the same time...

luckily festival hall is done by ticketmaster, so it shouldn't be as big a problem...

is a shame about scribe... would've loved to have seen butterfingers or 1200's support... could've been worse, could have got selwyn or J-Wess...

[deepeesee]

Okay, I'm stressing at the last minute here.

Is Money Mark supporting in Melbourne as well as Sydney? Cos I was planning to fly down to Melbourne but may have to change my plans if it's a choice between Money Mark and fucking Scribe...

If someone can help I'd appreciate it muchly!

[w00dy]

it appears that way... scribe for melbourne, money mark for sydney...

[Johann]

good 'ol cable/broadband at work, I got mine!
came to 80 something though with the 8 bucks pickup fee.
i dont mind, it'll be worth it.

[Dunny]

got my ticket too, except it appears im gonna be a loner, as all my friends are too cool for the boys.

see y'all at sydney, is it going to be a pageant also?

[nickhead]

I GOT MY TICKETS!!! :D (y) been waiting forever for this moment.. now I just have to wait another 3 months :rolleyes:

in the hordern, is it all general admission? or when you book do you decide on floor or seats?
it's all general admission


all you sydney siders good luck fighting for bandwith with all the killers fans who will be after tickets for brisbane, sydney and melbourne on ticketek... they go on sale @ the same time...
I had no problems.. I had my tickets by 1 minute past 9 :D


is a shame about scribe... would've loved to have seen butterfingers or 1200's support... could've been worse, could have got selwyn or J-Wess...
yeah butterfingers, hilltop hoods, 1200's, downsyde or the herd all would have been much better than scribe.. but like you said there are much worse acts


Is Money Mark supporting in Melbourne as well as Sydney? Cos I was planning to fly down to Melbourne but may have to change my plans if it's a choice between Money Mark and fucking Scribe...
scribe is the support act for both melbourne and sydney.. money mark is at both shows as well (he plays with the bboys)

[aussie_briz]

got mine for melbourne too. pumped, but tickets were too pricey for my friends so im gonna be a loner :( dag nammit. 84 bucks. blah. haha. any1 else in the same boat?

[redlantern2051]

Hey guys, I just got my tickets this morning!!!!!!!!!I can't wait!!!!!!!!!! I am going to apply for leave for that day-really chill out and enjoy it!!!!!!!!! :-) HOORAY!!!!!!!!

[nickhead]

yeah I am lucky I have brothers cause none of my friends would have agreed to come with me. They seriously don't know whats good for them

[w00dy]

i got my tickets this morning for melbourne... couldn't buy em on the net this morning and had to call up, pressing buttons for 10 minutes, but i finally got em...

think i'll be going on my own, i bought 2 though just in case i find someone who wants to go...

[Dunny]

seems like a few of us are flying solo. :D

but really, you cant be a loner when youre surrounded by thousands of other beastie boys fans can you?

thats the spirit (y)

[Johann]

I hope they let camera's into the Hordern!

[mewz]

I

I had no problems.. I had my tickets by 1 minute past 9 :D


Haha...sames :D

[mewz]

got my ticket too, except it appears im gonna be a loner, as all my friends are too cool for the boys.

see y'all at sydney, is it going to be a pageant also?

I dunno, but I think I may dress up anyway. It sounds like fun...plus from what I have read from the pagaent blogs the beasties really encourage it. Any excuse, yeah? :p

[mikelip]

:) :) :) :) :) :) :)
See ya'll at the Pageant! I'm sooooo vibed to be seeing them at the Hordern
:) :) :) :) :) :) :)

[Dunny]

yer dressing up is the way to go, but its gonna be soooooo hot.

i might go for a see through singlet and sport some fresh sunnies ala mike in shake your rump.

and i wanted to get a " I Love N.Y" tshirt for the gig, but since im not in new york...

[mewz]

Yeah, a singlet is probably the go. I dunno if this is really considered dressing up, but I was thinking of buying a bonds top and writing some random message or quote on it. Wear that and a skirt, and possibly some knee hi socks (with two stripes down the side)??? Then get some crazy fresh accessories to top it off...some op shop sunnies or jewellery...anything a bit wacky and fun.

What do you reckon?

(n) or (y)

[Dunny]

(y) haha sounds erhm. individual!

i wanna go for all the cliche'd fashion get ups, like the volkwagon necklace and some paddies market sunglasses.

[Resindog21]

Brisbane boy here just got his tickets for the Sydney show. Flying down on the thursday and ready to party. a trip to paddy's could well be on the cards to get the pageant outfit ready.....

[Dunny]

i think d might actually like paddies, according to the very nice ladies who tried to sell me sunglasses there before, the glasses were in fact normally priced at $250, except it was a one day only special and they were shipping for $15.

i passed, but bought a thin pair with no frame and completely red plastic for $5, theyre so trippy...

[IllMoFo]

got my ticket as well, no trouble getting them and by the looks of ticketek online they arent sold out yet, which is weird, only 4000 ppl capacity and not sold out. I saw them both nights in 98 on the fence, same thing must happen again. Im sure i will meet a few of you in the line nice and early, looking forward to waiting in the sun!!

[mewz]

(y) haha sounds erhm. individual!

hehe...that's just a polite way of saying it sounds weird! :D I've gotta admit, is does sound pretty weird in writing...but I have this intense desire to go all out at the moment. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I've almost finished my B/A and am feeling pretty cagey right now. I soooo wanna let loose and party like crazy!

Oh well, tomorrow night I'm going to this thing called stonefest. Downsyde, Dexter, Groove Armada, The $2 Scratchies, Karton etc. are playing. Should be dope. Can't wait to let my hair down! :cool:

[nickhead]

and don't forget the baggsmen! i'm sooooooo jealous :( have fun

I have an urge to dress up for the bboys show too.. the only question is what to dress in :confused: it's kinda going to be limited with the heat

[Dunny]

haha, nah individuality is the bomb, the boys are more likely to notice you!

anyway im a bit the same, 3 tests away from finishing the hsc, so ive just gotta sustain my energy for the BDO and sideshow for 3 months...

[mewz]

Yeah, I got tickets for the BDO as well. Cheering!! (But my bank balance is looking pretty sad.)

Nickhead, you might be able to get some ideas for what to wear from the Beasties DVD...do you have a copy? If not, I'll watch it again sometime and let you know if any costumes leap out at me.

[nickhead]

yeah i do. I should get it out and take a refresher course. what i'd LOVE to go in is one of those funky outfits from the alive vid :cool: 2 problems though - no idea where i'd find one and i'd imaging it would be insanely hot

btw today = 3 months to go!!

[scotty]

Are they doing Brisbane? Sydney's out of the question and I've got misgivings about BDO. But I'll go if its the only place they'll be up here.

[minton]

They're not doing Brisbane..just the BDO show at Gold Coast.

[kezz]

woohoo!
got my tix the other day... well, my sister used my credit card...

i have a 'gang' of about 8 going, but im sure more people will pop up out of the woodwork. im keen to dress up, but i dont think anyone else will. i have beauty pageant sashes that i made that say things like 'miss lead' and 'miss conceive'. that could be funny. or cattle judging sashes. hmmm...

but yeah, the heat. though if the goths that i saw at a perfect circle in feb this year could wear leather, vinyl and corsets, im sure that we, as beastie boys fans, are resilient enough to have a bit of cheesey pageant action in the 35 degree heat. ;)

[Lindsey_1535]

cam makes me hornby go cam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scotty]

They're not doing Brisbane..just the BDO show at Gold Coast.

Is there any reason for that they're only playing sideshows in Melbourne and Sydney?

You know how I feel about the BDO, minton, so I'm pretty shirty that the other capitals are being excluded. I'm just too old to be kicked in the head by 16yo kids acting all tough and testosterony in the pit.

I'm not sure of the reasoning behind the decision to only play additional shows in Sydney and Melbourne. I would assume that it's either a part of their deal with the BDO or it's only economical to play Sydney and Melbourne.

I hear you regarding the BDO crowd though. It normally sucks.

Money or contractual obligations, eh.

Well, the dilemma still remains.
