Top Gear Live 2010/11

[vertebraille]

I'm block 1, row A, Seat 44-45 (I think).
I am going to have to try and get a better paddock pass on the general on sale

[Eclair]

I've got sucked in by the pre-sale and bought Mr Eclair and I tickets to the Brisbane Sat night show, 8pm...had a lot of crappy seats offered on Ticketek but finally decided on S21A platinum, row D. Also got paddock tickets (lol) for Friday and Saturday. So I've paddock tickets for Friday but no show tickets yet but I live in hope my credit card may recover enough in time to secure some ;D

[pie]

The way things are going, by the time I decide whether or not to fork out the dosh for a ticket, there won't be any left

I'm sure Mr Eclair will have a great time.

I forgot to add, I'm sure you will have a great time as well.

Very different. Paddock passes are an additional $20. They aren't apart of the ticket.

Ah thanks for the clarification Aussie - hope you all have a great time those who are going ;D

[jacqui]

I have my Earls Court Tickets ;D ;D

Can't believe how quick this has come round ;D

[aussie]

OMG. Somebody stop me. I'm addicted to buying TGL tickets.

There is no cure... its an addiction we have to live with

[aussie]

I've already bought tickets to 3 shows and I'm looking for more. I managed to pull up what I assume to be 2nd row opening night in Melbourne but I managed to have the strength not to buy them. Very tempting.

[vertebraille]

Aussie, do you know if more paddock passes for the saturday 6.30 session in Mel will be available for the general on sale?

[aussie]

I suspect they will, vertebraille, but you will need to be quick. They have a small selection available for each pre-sale and general sale.

My suggestion is have both the paddock and ticket section of ticketek open in different windows so you can do both at once. That's how I did it for the pre-sale the other day.

I'm still trying to figure out which Brisbane shows to go to. I'm so confused.

[vertebraille]

Thanks. I don't need another show ticket, I think I've spent enough

[aussie]

Does anyone know of any good hotels in Melbourne that this Aussie can stay while she is down there?

[vertebraille]

Before I moved here I would stay at [urlhttp://www.hotelenterprize.com.au/[/url]
It's not exactly luxury, but it is a short walk to the city centre and you can get a train to the show grounds from Southern Cross station (across the road).

[aussie]

Thank you for the suggestion.

I've been a good girl and haven't looked at Ticketek in a whole 12 hours. ;D

[aussie]

For anybody interesting in being completely ripped off, Preferred Seating are selling pre-sale tickets.

[aaurora]

Would love to chat with any Brisbane members who are going about what seats would be the best! I am getting 3 Diamond tickets for Sunday show and I am guessing SG26 - SG31 would be the best right?

It will be my first TG show as this year I am a) not pregnant and b) don't have a 1 year old and c) my 2 year old can stay home quite happily with Daddy

[aussie]

Hi aaurora. This is exciting you get to go to TGL next year.

Those would be excellent seats. I'm aiming for that section for the opening night. If not opening night, any other show I can get my hands on.

[aaurora]

Yes I FINALLY get to go! Thank goodness they are coming to Brisbane. Thank you for your feedback, I will definitely aim for those seats. Would love to be in the front row

[aussie]

Looks like there are no more paddock passes in Brisbane and Melbourne. There could be possibly paddock passes available for Brisbane on the 3rd March as the main site says that this night isn't on sale yet.

The pre-sale is just bringing up the same tickets I rejected last week. Fingers crossed better tickets are available on Wednesday morning.

[pie]

I'm going to bite the bullet and go to the show after all. Will wait to see if any of my friends want to go too. Only they'll have no idea why I'll be hogging the binoculars ;D (because I'll probably be in the back row... )

In thinking about it, this could be the only chance I ever get to see James (and anything/anyone TG-related) in person. They're coming to Melbourne, for goodness sake. Yes, he'll be a whole kilometre away on stage but who cares. I'd be a downright imbecile to miss it, and I know I'll be kicking myself if I do.

[aussie]

You will have an absolute blast, Pie. ;D I am very excited for you.

[pie]

Thanks aussie Hope you enjoy all the shows too. (Of course you will, what am I talking about)
One of my friends is already a definite to come with me so I think I'll ditch all the others who haven't replied and get on Ticketek at 9am anyway ;D

[vertebraille]

Yay Pie! What show are you going to go to?
TOH better get the paddock passes this morning. It is stressing me out lol.

[richmondgal]

If you happen to go to the 5pm Saturday show in Melbourne, you'll find me in Block 4 in the Platinum seating section on the end with my Dad. I am content.

[vertebraille]

Guess I am all on my own in block 1.

Does anybody need/want 2 paddock passes for the 12.30 (?) session on Sat?

[aussie]

Guess who got front row opening night in Melbourne?

;D

Don't get me started on opening night in Brisbane. Bloody website was "broken". So I went for a walk to Ticketek and bought them over the counter. Got better tickets than what they were offering online.

[richmondgal]

Damn, I should have done that. But still, Block 4 Row G is much better than the other blocks they were offering me for the other nights.
