Well done.
With reserved seating in Telstra dome though you will need binoculars. Bloody long way from the action.
Take my advice and carry ear plugs. Last time at Rod Laver it took me 3 days to regain my hearing.
5 rows from front, simply awesome.
I've got binocs.

The stage will be set up in one goal square. I'm on level 2, wing which I'm happy enough about.

Last time I saw them live, I can't recall specifically but would have been either very late 80's or very early 90's and my ears were ringing for 3 days. Taking 2 of the sons and 1 daughter in law. 4 tickets at $145 a pop. Ouch.

The ticket prices were more than reasonable I thought. Certainly paid more than that for other artists, and would do so again.
I want to know if Brian will still carry Angus around the crowd on his shoulders. 60+ isn't he? Hope the paramedics are close by!

Yeah me too. Still haven't washed my hand after Angus high fived it as he went around on someone's shoulders. We had front row of the first level. Brilliant. :D
After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF.

Nice work Stui. I can't specifially recall the date either (Wonder why? :lol: )but I went in the late 80's/ early nineties as well. Who made Who tour. Couple hundred Angus lookalikes on stage, Bells ringing for "Hells Bells", Canons firing in "For those about to Rock" - Unforgettable. I trust you are already in the early stages of cultivating a quality mullet for the occassion. :D

Finally found a house i like in Elwood, and got accepted for the lease today! No more Frankston line, and an extra hour of sleep in th morning because of the reduced commuting time. Excellent.

It wasn't today - it was Sunday, but watching Barry Hall give away 3 - 50 metre penalties in the space of 30 seconds made me very happy.
Let's hope he can repeat the performance in a few weeks.

Can I ask what about this cold weather do you love?

The only thing I love this time of year is my electric blanket
Do I look like the tech?

Cold weather is great. Gives you an excuse to stay nice and snug indoors and watch DVDs or veg out. It is also easy to get warm when it's cold, but it hard to get cool when it's hot.
