Melbourne gig. Section A seats (Row O) are now available. A glitch this morning?.....who knows.

All the Melbourne Diamond seats are "allocated" (well, according to the website).

I just bagged some seats in Section I, row KK - which is on the last section of "the floor" but tiered, so will have a good view of proceedings! Yay me!

[RickD]

Stuffed if I can work out how this works!

Tried for 2 for Sydney at the "My Ticketek" presale started today. Nothing decent came up (right on opening). Checked Brisbane, out of curiosity - nothing decent.

Been out for a few hours, just out of interest checked what Brisbane has npw - "limited Diamond" it says. Put in 1 ticket - comes back with very front row (admittedly to one side, Bruce side even!)

I haven't seen anything, anywhere in about the first ten rows without going through the VIP site. Dunno where that seat came from!

Gold for Sydney and Melbourne here.

Tony, I respectfully suggest a pre-show get together as when Brian was last in town.  Any chance my friend?

Hi Gary, how are you man?

Yes, already on to it. Set aside the night before the show, Wednesday 29 August for a get together in the CBD area (The Rocks) and then an after show get together to talk about the show and have drinks with 'friends' also around The Rocks/Quay area.

 

Looking forward to seeing our Kiwi cuzs again eh.

[Jonathan Blum]

Definitely up for a Sydney meet-up!

Are we aiming for a pre-show gathering-of-the-tribes like the one a couple of tours ago, when we basically took over the bar (and one of our special guests taught me the riff to Marcella)?  Or just a smaller thing like the dinner before TLOS?

Cheers,
Jon Blum

[Sunflower Seed]

Just got Gold tix for the Sydney show, very excited 

[Shady]

Looking like I'll be going to Germany, I'm fine with traveling it's just disappointing that they've snubbed Ireland and given the UK so little

[kiwi surfer]

We're all good thanks Tony and I trust you are too.

That sounds like an excellent plan and who knows who might also be able to be persuaded to pop in for a few beers.

How's transport from the CBD to the concert venue? Any likely drama?

[Zargo]

My seats aren't great for melbourne (section 56) , but just happy to have it all sewn up

Allphones Arena is next to the Olympic Stadium at Homebush - trains run direct from the CBD to Homebush. The only likely drama is over excited Beach Boys fans not behaving ...

Go the Berlin gig, quite a few people from this board, both British and German, are going.

Beach Boys 50 concert ad during 'The Voice' semi final in Sydney ....... in any other states/cities?

Ads during the number one rating show in Oz ... impressive.

Yep can't wait for the German shows , I guess in a couple of weeks we better start thinking about getting all the bods together to nail our plans to meet up for a beer or two

[Aegir]

Haven't seen this posted here yet:

"You are invited to a free Beach Boys reunion concert event in Central Park live on Good Morning America! The concert is on Friday June 15, 2012- Please arrive at Rumsey Playfield/SummerStage via the 72nd street entrance on Fifth Avenue at 6:00am when the park opens to the public. GMA will be live from 7-9 am. No tickets needed. For more information visit gmaconcerts.com."

of course I have to go to this but that's soooooo early.

[Pretty Funky]

The Beach Boys don't do early morning gigs well at all. Could be another wreck!

[Pretty Funky]

From the Brit site. (possible hoax?)

New U.S. tour date for the fall? October 6 at Nutty Jerry's in Winnie, TX.

From http://blogs.houstonpress.com/rocks/2012/06/the_beach_boys_coming_to_nutty.php

"As Rocks Off confirmed from Nutty Jerry's PR, this will in fact be the lineup that was at the Woodlands on June 8. There was some question to whether or not this would be Mike Love's version of the group that tours sans Brian Wilson."

Interesting! Hopefully they'll hit some markets they didn't hit on the first "leg", and also maybe do a second show in markets they only did one show in. I was wondering if something like this would happen; they may not want to do another 70-date tour in 2013, but maybe take a little break and cram in some more shows in 2012, just to wring as much as they can out of the "50th Anniversary" year. Maybe they booked "Nutty Jerry's" after they discovered they still had  a warehouse full of "50th Anniversary" tour merchandise to sell. 

[Pretty Funky]

So that rules out a chance of many UK gigs after London then!

[The Real Barnyard]

The Beach Boys in Chile, October 26 2012, but with no Brian.
So the reunion ends September 28 with the Wembley show???
