Thanks for that visitor!
I've always wanted to go to New Zealand - this may be a great excuse to go.

Indeed Jaffaman, updated to Windows Media 11 player and cleared cache and what a magic interview, with 'spoons'.
Noel and John seemed to know John Campbell quite well, maybe from the Wellington days when John Campbell was at Victoria University and on Radio Active on campus (the first FM station in N.Z. i believe).

Excellent news Gryphon.
Are Ticketmaster just doing Auckland, i see they have it up on their site.
Ticketek for the rest of the country ?.

John Campbell interviewed both Tim and Noel separately for "Playing Favourites" on National Radio back around 2000/2001. Neil and Mike did that slot too, actually. Must be Eddie's turn sometime soon.

Fantastic news Gryph. They'll be partying in Whakapapa & Papatoetoe tonight!
That's something to add to the old Christmas list...
Any sign of Farnsie outside that band room?
Watch him, he's a feisty one.
Have a great show.

It is tempting! I am seriously thinking about going to New Zealand! I need to start saving, Im hoping that I can make it happen and see Split Enz! Would be great!
Keep your eyes on http://www.frenz.com/splitenz/, The http://www.frenz.com homepage, and of course http://blog.frenz.com.
There's a number of things we're rolling out at the moment, some within the next few hours, and some over the course of the next week.
As always, we're trying to keep the blog up to date so that Enz fans around the Globe have a central resource to get all news and article links. We'd be very happy if people could email us, either iarla@frenz.com or tracy@frenz.com and we'll get the news up as soon as we can.

It's probably too soon to ask questions, but I read the blurb on NZ Ticketmaster. It doesn't mention a separate drummer, so will Noel be taking those duties? Or was it a mistake?
If the answer is in those links above, I haven't clicked and further investigated.

Well Aika, since it is the T & T lineup I think that would be a yes on Crombers hitting the skins!

I am going to Australia and New Zealand in the new year for a holiday. It was a good thing I have not yet booked my plane ticket. I really hope I can make it to this concert. I was in Sydney Australia in 2006. I tried to live out there but could not get the right job and ran out of money so went back to the UK and missed the Enz OZ tour which was a great shame. I will try to make it this time round.
Who is in the line up for this tour? I think it is Tim,Nigel,Eddie,Noel and Neil. What about Mal? Tim did say the drummer was Someone Barker. Who is he and is he really the new drummer? What was all that about some new songs. I can't see this being anymore than the 3 gigs in NZ as Crowded House are ment to be making a new CD in the new year and a frestival tour of Europe mid year.

I can feel my Amex card searching for airfare immediately after reading this.

Clive's brother.
Erm, Tammy is no longer with us either Seany with or without cake.

The T & T lineup was/should be Tim, Neil, Nigel, Noel & Eddie! Mal was not part of that line-up. Not a clue who this Barker is.
Perhaps Tim's drummer for his US tour?
He is the drummer with Australian band The John Butler Trio. Tammy was a big fan. Although i best not jinx the poor chap.
Poor Tammy. I'm sure she went straight to heaven. & so young too. Still, only the good etc...
Spoons! Spoons i say!!
but then how very droll of me...

Since playing on the Enzso tour, Michael's played drums with Neil, Tim, Eddie and Phil, according to http://www.frenz.com/michaelbarker
Ah! Thanks for that Jaffa. Leave it to you...
I could hardly sleep last night! Kept my girlfriend up for hours talking about how awesome it's gonna be, what merchandise I can buy, etc, etc. This is too exciting for words, man!
Ha! You are who I immediately thought of Gav! So glad the guys are coming home to treat you all to some gigs. If I thought for one second that I could pull it off, I'd be right there with you. Just can't do it this time around

Gav, you lucky man you!
Seany., what is your obsession with Farnsie?? Don't tell me you miss him!
BaB, if I will the lottery, I will pay for plane tickets for both of us. But as that doesn't seem very likely...
History never repeats.. -------------------------------------------------------
I really might have to start playing the lottery over this news! Even if I just do scratch tickets. If I win Suze, you're in
Hmmmmm, maybe we'll get a 2008 tour vid. out of this...
So thrilled for Kiwi Frenz and anyone else who can go, but *throws major bratty tanty*

As I said to my girlfriend last night, I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve! (Only every night will feel like Christmas Eve until March 23rd!) If you guys can make it, please do!
Now that would be fab..."Split Enz Go Home".

as a last resort, someone's going to have to buy me a t-shirt, my one from the 2006 season is now only rarely worn to stop it from falling apart!
Why is Michael Barker Playing Drums for the Enz and not Mal Green?
New site at http://www.frenz.com/splitenz/ is up.
There's really not much up there for forum members yet, it's more to direct new people to the news resources - i.e. here and the blog.
There's a whole bunch of stuff that is 90% done including a really cool mini site surrounding the Luton Sessions
Peter has sent me a bunch of stuff, and there's more to come

Thanks Iarla!!
So we're all going gangbusters on lotto tickets then !
Thought someone in Dunner's might be really happy about this !! Gav did I hear a faint squeal of delight?? Oh that's right, boys don't squeal.
Why they don't include Dunedin in the lineup is beyond me. Seems most of the Christchurch concert goers are from Dunedin!! There is Carisbrook Stadium which I'm sure would be rained out and windy, but still have them turn up in droves, from down south and the west coast.
Yup, the mind is calculating.

I've just posted in another thread about this.
I want to be there. I notice its over the Easter (Australia) weekend, which helps.
Thank goodness I didn't get the job which I recently went for, or I'd have been locked in, without having been able to advise that I have a holiday booked in March At least now I can say that in any further interviews (they often ask anyway).
How exciting is this. I want to do all 3 shows if at all possible.

Just spoke with Ticketek, no word on pre-sales like Ticketmaster for Auckland.

But if i can scrape up the money i want to be one of the first in at a Ticketek branch for public sales at 9am Thursday 15th November.
Cause judging how quick Crowded House sold out at TSB Wellington.
Either sold out months before the gig, or maybe more dates ?.

I'm thinking I probably wont be able to afford to go
I'll have to check the budget over the weekend & my YHA book to see if there's a cheap option.

Woohoo! I'm totally loving this. I am so there. Will have to see how many shows I can get to with work. Haven't been to NZ for over 20 years, so I'm overdue!
Peter did say those are the dates "so far", so I'm thinking there are others (whether they are other locations or else additional dates in those cities).

Woooo! Michael Barker! What an awesome drummer, I so have to go to this now! Luckily, despite the fact that my 21st was some weeks ago now, my parents are yet to give me a present so I've asked for points for the flight to Auckland.
so I've asked for points for the flight to Auckland.
I would so love to be able to go to New Zealand to see Split Enz but may not be able to travel over there because of lack of funds... I have been looking everywhere and cant find out how much the tickets cost (I know this is a stupid questing but I really need to know) does anyone know?

We just don't have a suitable venue here, Tam, although it would be a bit of (ancient) history re-repeating to see the Enz at the grand old Regent Theatre. The powers-that-be are still f**king around making a decision about whether or not to build a new stadium. Good ol' Dunedin...always one step behind!
There's a short clip of Eddie and Neil talking to PG up on the Enz site now
I don't suppose there's any chance that Split Enz will one day tour in England again?
Oh, it's hard. If only I wasn't sixteen years old, poor, and living in England. I'd fly to New Zealand, if I could...

Alrighty, just sorted out the time zone difference (hopefully). Thank goodness Monday is a holiday here or I'd be skivving off work for an hour to try to get tickets.
Time to start saving my pennies...
How is one supposed to book tickets to all three shows in the pre-sale? What a quandry. By the time I get to show number 3, I'll be sitting forever away!
Perhaps we should be touching base with other Frenz to join up.
Wish that FOTE members had an allocation for itself. And, knowing the price of tickets, as said earlier, would also assist.

That's my problem too Charlie's Mum.
This has happened twice before. I have been off work (could have had temp work but had knocked it back), I'm due to start a new temp job on Monday, and in that week is when the ticket sales are. Its always that week when I start the new possie that the ticket sales are happening.
I'm not sure of what to do. I would have liked to have tried the Frontier Pre-Sale, but that's in the middle of the day.
The other option is to try the early morning one on Thursday, and just be a bit late in if I have to
I'm a bit focused on this - temp jobs will come and go (and I am only the temp) but this opportunity isn't going to come again, so I'm feeling that I'll just have to do what I have to do, whatever the consequences.
I can't tell you how many years it has taken to develop this mildly rebellious streak.
They should at least have staggered the times for the different shows. However, I can de-stress myself by telling myself that at least I will be under the same roof as them, in New Zealand, even if I am only just in the back door.
It is a dilemma though. I may see if my brother can help me out on the Tuesday.

OK Thank You for that Surferlisa, forgot about Frontier Touring.
Think i am still going to do it 'manually' as in a fist full of dollars at a Ticketek office Thursday 15th November 9am.
Iv'e always been disapointed with pre-sales seats, like to pick off the plan a good seat, bet the shows are gonna sell-out quick.

I'm going to be going to the ChCh show TR, so I can get you a ticket for that one if you like.
I wish they were going on sale mid Dec, not mid Nov
Done the figures, & I just dont have the spare cash this month ....... damn car insurance .....
Wish my XMas bonus (yes, some of us still get them) was paid in November, not December
I have a credit with Virgin that I could use for the airfare & all, too
But there's no point in going if I dont have tix Need cash this Monday to buy tix, having it in 4 weeks time really wont help much
Have a great time for anyone who's going Especially those NZers who couldnt get to Australia last time around

i'll (hopefully) be first in line on thursday morning in dunedin for tickets to christchurch. i just got back from crowded house, boy i'm excited
Oh wow, that is so incredibly tempting to make the trip! I missed out last time because I had no money, but this time...I don't have any money either, but who knows if this'll happen again.
I wish I knew what to do.
I wish I knew what to do.
How incredibly exciting! Split Enz and Crowded House in thespce of 5 months! What a dream come true!

WOW! To see Split Enz live in New Zealand, that's a dream for me. I'd love to visit New Zealand once, this seems to be the right moment. But the flights are really expensive. How about chartering an aeroplane from London to New Zealand, filled with Frenz

A good idea, DS, but would be a better idea if you included a stop-over in Vancouver. I think it's along the way...sort of.
Anyone have an idea of how much it will be??
Well I've bitten the bullet and just booked some flights!! Flying from
Melbourne to Christchurch on Good Friday March 21st and then from Wellington
back to Melbourne on Wednesday March 26th, so will be hoping and praying to
get a good seat for shows in both cities. I've never seen the Enz before
plus have never been to anywhere in NZ other than Auckland so its a win win
situation for me for sure!! If anyone else there is interested in coming
along, would love to hear from you (and would also love to be able to help
or give advice with your travel plans as I am actually a travel agent ) My email addy is sltravelworld@optusnet.com.au.

This will be my first Split Enz concert woohoo, and just after my first ever concert (Crowded House.)
I guessing around the same price as the Crowded House tickets, because it's at the same venues as the Crowded House concerts ($87.50 + services fees for Chch and Wgtn.)

I'm going to fly straight to Christchurch too yemanja. What airline are you flying with?
I was checking for decent priced flights when they announced these shows, and noticed that the more reasonable ones were already booked out, no doubt due to it being Easter.
I then thought about flying out on the Wednesday before, but I probably won't do that. I'm thinking I'll just pay whatever I need to and do it that way.
I'm not going to book flights until I have my concert tickets. After that, I'll book my flights, accommodation and travel within New Zealand.
How exciting...
I've already been checking out hotels etc in the vicinity of the venues (I like to stay close-ish to the venue).

I'm flying with Jetstar on Friday 21st March (Good Friday) and paid $269.00 one way, which is not bad at all except it arrives so darn late at 11.05pm. I used my Qantas points to fly back from Wellington on 26th March (and splurged with business class
) so only had to pay the taxes which I think was around $80.00. So pretty good value all around I figure! I've also started looking at accom but will wait until I hopefully have tickets in hand before booking. As for travelling in NZ, I was thinking of possibly driving from Christchurch to Picton and then taking the ferry over to Wellington. Or another possibility is the Tranz Coastal train which looks great. Not sure yet but will be doing some further investigation in the near future.
I've actually been checking out the Intercity Bus Lines, because that's how I did it with mummakook last year, and I have to say that I loved the coach travel.
You get to look out the window at the spectacular scenery, and the cost is really minimal for the distances travelled. The only hiccup is that from what I can tell, the trip from Wellington to Auckland will be about 10 hours by coach
I haven't booked anything yet, so I'm not locked in. However I don't particularly want to fly that leg of it.
You didn't do too badly price wise on your ticket over there. I've completely ruled Qantas out, because I think they were the most expensive by far (I didn't write down the price). I'm going to try and get a flight that doesn't arrive too late, but if I can't manage that, then I'll aim to leave on the Thursday before.
I'll book flights as soon as I have tickets in my hot little hand. Its a busy time of year, and leaving it too late is probably a bit silly.
Should be brilliant.

Not going to happen for me.
There is no way I'd be able to get there.
I will be having surgery on my foot in February so will be off work for that whole month. I doubt very much work will let me have more time off in March and I don't know how the foot will be. And I don't think it will be acceptable to the family budget. I know they are the greatest band that ever was and I love them to death, but I have other things in life abit more important.
Oh well - I saw them in Melbourne and we have a DVD for the memories.
Have a great time everyone.

Not so bad really, hk. Just some corrective surgery on some of my toes on my left foot. Unfortunately, toes are very important for walking and standing so you're kinda off your feet for 4 weeks.

You're speaking my language, people! Actually I reckon they should do a Luton medley. Very, very few of those songs made it to the stage.

Trying to get ready for this pre-sale, but I think the gods are against me. I have no idea of what the pre-sale password is? The Frontier site says it will post it by noon NZ time (which was 15 mins ago), but nothing yet?
Then I had trouble working out whether I could actually buy the tickets because I'm an Australian Ticketek member, not a NZ member. I think I might have gotten around that though by ensuring I log onto the NZ version of the site.
Any help greatly appreciated. I am pitching for the Christchurch show in the pre-sale, and then will look at the others for thursday.

LOL I was just going to say that, what with daylight saving.
Pre-sales is out for me, cut up the credit card.
Think general sales will work for me, guess you can still pick your seat and match with the plan to see how far away it is even with pre-sales.
Ticketek quotes $93. plus booking fee, but as i understand it the Tickeek pre-sales does go through Frontier Touring any ho.
10 mins till the password.
2 hours 10 mins to go to buy, good luck pre-sales buyers, let us know what kind of seats you get.
Oh thanks for that - but it's a few minutes past and still no password.
Password has been posted now!
Yep got it. Thanks!
Now to drive for an hour to work and then log in again and hopefully score two decent seats! Phew.

First gigs in Christchurch though.
Can cost quite a bit to travel from Auckland to Christchurch even by bus then ferry, yet alone fly at that time of the year, isn't it Easter ?.
You might be better to fly direct to Christchurch, if you are planning to catch all the gigs Crimpies ?.
Then Wellington then Auckland.

I'm just worried that I'll book plane tickets to Christchurch and then have a possible warmup show announced on the north island. That would be, well, annoying!
Also I'd assume if there will be 2nd shows announced in all three cities then the 2nd show announced for Christchurch would in fact be the Saturday - the day before the one about to go on sale.
Do you think going to all shows is greedy? It would mean someone else in NZ misses out.. What to do?? I think I'll buy tickets to all shows and deal with problems as they arise.

'Are you havin' a laugh ?' Hell no, if i had the bucks i would go to all the gig's.
Good point about the possible warm up shows (Tim mentioned this in that TV3 interview), and maybe other dates, but it might be like Crowded House they sold out Wellington months before the gig, and there were no extra gigs put on.
Any member got a spare platinum credit card that is surplus to their needs. lol

I notice on the Wellington map that there are two stalls sections (1 and 2) - do I have 3rd row from the front, or are there two row Cs?
My luck has been so crappy lately - this might be my turning point!!!

Just been a tyre kicker at the Wellington show 4th 6th 10th row front stalls, but all to the sides.
From memory TSB Wellington centre front stalls run 20 -44.
'A' been the front row (floor).
Gonna buy from Ticketek office off the plan Thursday in the flesh, bucks permitting.

If it is the same layout as C.H. and i am sure it will be.
3rd row from the front (facing) stage left, 5 seats from the isle inbetween the left isle (facing stage) centre.
Yeah they don't show the seating plan at Wellington except at the Ticketek offices.
It looks like most of the Frenz have been well rewarded for their efforts. Great work everybody!

I'm not sure how wide it is, but i think 20 was about centre stage.
I feel rip-off now, at the side. Never get the first tickets you come to. Not like me who did. lol
Well if I've learned one thing lately it's that people WILL get out of their seats and move wherever they want during the show! Security is no match for the Frenz, after all.

Perhaps a little wee bit of hyperbole here, but an Enz show without 'Message To My Girl' would be like a Led Zep show without, say, 'Whole Lotta Love'! I can honestly say it's a dead cert for the setlist!

Gonna check tomorrow, and will try to get a plan for Wellington, or at least a photo, to put up for the members.
It's cunning that they don't show the seating plan on the net or on their site.

Seats 44/45 are about dead centre in the floor seating at TSB Arena in Wellington.
I was 2 seats from the left hand side isle (centre block) for C.H. and my seat number was 42.

My mistake, I was 10 seats out... I'm informed we were actually seats 34 & 35 for Crowded House, which was right smack bang in the centre. The signage at the venue even confirmed as much, as from memory the left hand entry door was for seats 35 upwards, and the right hand door for 34 and below. The usher told us to take our pick
Supergroove would be a great support act! I think they were a bit of a mis-match for the Crowded House tour.

Sounds good WRC.
This what i will aim for when i see the plan tomorrow.
Dead centre, say row 4 or 5.
I was amazed how different the sound sounded from the soundcheck and when the auditorium was full of people during the gig.
You didn't seem to get the full frequency response during the gig, like i heard at the soundcheck.
But it was good that C.H. had the P.A.'s mounted from the ceiling aimed down at the crowd, but i guess the crowd obsorb the sound or something.
But all in all the acoustics aren't too bad at the TSB.
I was interested how they balanced the speakers at the soundcheck with pink noise, and how they adjusted the stage monitor speaker levels, it seemed there was a rear speaker the back of the auditorium, like a sub woofer, but i maybe wrong, from memory the soundboard was 16 channels, 8 each side.
Here's a pic of the soundboard at C.H. after Surferlisa beat me to the setlist.

Excellent Pez.
>>Wellington

Damm i wanted that one.
There is either going to be a hell of a lot of people in a line for public sales in 7 1/2 hours time or none or just few.
Hope there are some good seats left.
Just remembered we also have a small plane flying around with a Split Enz sign mentioning the shows...not sure if this is at all 3 cities?
For all you kiwi's look skywards this week!!!!
Look out for Neil being interviewed on Classic Hits (NZ), Newstalk ZB and Radio Hauraki.

The excitment is building across the ditch never mind your Rod Steward's, Elton John's, or Kiss...The Enz Are Coming 'Home'.
These gigs are gonna sell out real quick, as if C.H. didn't sell out quick enough.
Woohoo. This is exciting. I'm waiting for a second Christchurch show to be announced. I'm expecting it and yes, hoping it will be on the saturday night so it will end up being the night before the first one (on the Sunday).
I can fly over on the Friday, so this would be fabulous!
Keep us updated Frenz!

How'd y'all go in the public sale?
After frigging around somewhat to start with, which wouldn't have helped, I realised that I had the best seats I could get, and am pretty happy with them.
Flying into Christchurch Friday 21 March 08 and flying out of Auckland Sunday 30 March 08. Petty exciting stuff.
I don't want to book accommodation or travel within New Zealand until I see whether any extra shows will be added anywhere. If they are planning on doing this, hopefully it will be fairly soon.

Dammm i am not that happy, cause my ride and money weren't here before 9am.
I didn't get to the box office till 11am, and most of the floor had gone with pre-sales and 2 hours of public sales for Wellington.
Still first floor, but went for floor centre, but right up the back, but the back blocks (floor) are elevated, where as the floor (main) isn't.
Oh well hope i hit 'the centre point of sound', as i have at some gig's near the back, but dammm i am 57 or 60 rows back from the stage.
And/or at this rate this first date at Wellington will be sold out in a matter of days IMHO, so maybe another date will be added for Wellington ??.
Be still my beating heart!! Bought ticket to the wellington show. Look out Kiwis!! If any other melbourne frenz are heading there on their own, would love to catch up. Bring on the 25th of March

Excellent Carvedinmarble.
Hope you got a better floor seat than me.
I see on the ticket it says plus special guests, no further information, wonder who it could be ?.
BTW Overseas members that were worried about collecting their tickets, or having them posted overseas i see Ticketek has a new feature for ticket collection.
Internet ezyTicket (Add $5.00)
Tickets are sent as a PDF attachment to your booking confirmation email. Open ezyTicket using Adobe Reader, save it to your computer then print your tickets at your convenience. ezyTicket requires Adobe Reader version 6.0 or above (version 8.0 is recommended).
Don't know if Ticketmaster for the Auckland gig has the same.
i was the first in line this morning at dunedin's ticketek, arriving before the doors were even open. however i was awarded for it, as i'm seated in row c right in the center seating lot on the floor. couldn't be more stoked. hope to see ya's there
Glad you did well Eyes since you missed out on Tim last year.
Not so much luck at this end due to a comedy of errors... of the BP raising kind and how - especially with Frenz depending on me! Hugs in a big way Visitor, I know how much more screwed I was after 10 miniutes this morning, let alone 2 hours! Looking forward to catching up with you again anyway.
Anyone know what the view from the lower balcony at Christchurch is like? Got row A for that just in front of the stage in preference to ... can't remember what but it didn't look pretty.
I do believe that Ticketmaster has the same system for Auckland with printing your tickets. I tend to go for venue pickup when I'm on the wrong side of the ditch - one less thing to remember to pack, just can't forget the credit card on pain of death!

The seating chart on the internet for all 3 Enz NZ dates are crap. I am in the UK and booked tickets but do not really know where my seats are. I know where I am when I see Crowded House at Wembely at Christmas. Why such a crap seat map on the net of the gigs? I have never see the Enz before and I do not really want to see the back of people heads or little ants on stage. I am sorry to moan I may have great seats. Can someone please tell me if for Auckland null dd 717 upper bowl and null u 272 lower bowl are good seats and if for Wellington ust sblock1 row e seat 42 is a good seat and for Christchirch flr section sfl1 row l seat 25 is a good seat? Agian sorry to moan.
ARE THE ARENAS BIG OR SMALL-ISH

Mmmmmm A bit better than me in Block 3 Row M Centre, but it is elevated, where as the main floor isn't.
TSB Wellington: Wellington's largest indoor concert hall holds up to 5,600 people or 4,650 for a fully seated concert.

Don't know if this little video helps (proberly not it looks dark on the net) taken from row R floor dead centre, you can see the elevated stalls Block 1 and 3 when it pans around.

What are the side seats live for Wellington and Auckland?

Don't know about Auckland Sam28, but Wellington TSB guess it's a matter of personal preference as to weither you want to be further back but facing the stage, or closer to the stage higher up but at an angle.
Hi folks,
How exciting!!! My 11yo son is a new fan of Split Enz, so I would love the excuse to take him on his first visit to NZ and also see his very first concert - Split Enz.
Unfortunately, I can't book tickets from work, so will need to go to an internet cafe tonight to do so. Do you think there will still be decent seating left for the Auckland concert?
Cheers
Andy

Oh so that meens your in Block 5 centre ? 30 something ?.
Sam, Vector is long and narrow(ish), so the back is a long way back! Of the two Auckland seats you mentioned, I think the first one is at the centre back and very high up, the second one on the right hand side and lower (probably the better one imho, but as the Visitor said, depends on your preference).
What are the seats in SBlock1 like at the TSB Arena in WElllington?
Hey, I just checked the Ticketmaster site and it's saying that tickets are unavailable. Could it be that Auckland has sold out?!

The site's telling me Auckland tickets are still available - maybe you struck a temporary glitch in the system?
Yes it seems you're right. It's letting me buy now (well look anyway). Damn, I was hoping for a sellout and second show!!!

Vector holds about 12,000, TSB Wellington 4,650 seated seems sales at Wellington have slowed, but rest assured the date will sell out soon.
In fact i will make a prediction that Wellywood sells out first as it did for C.H. months before the gig.
Got to say i like the promo pic that goes with the Split Enz 2008 N.Z. Tour, wonder when this was taken ?. Auckland prehaps when Neil was here, or ages ago ?.
So i guess the shows will be without make-up (Split Enz unmasked), hell after all they made their point back in the day.
Wonder if Mr T. Finn ever did pay Mr R. Finn the $50 he was fined by Rotary for his son having such a bad haircut back in the day.
Can't wait till March 2008.

Ok Thank You for that Stuff & Nonsense.
Makes sense.
Guess they haven't aged that much in a year or so.
Just wondering if anyone in perth (or anywhere for that matter) might be willing to split costs for accommodation/transport in auckland?
Haven't even got a ticket yet but figuring it will all fall into place...

I like that promo pic too. Hope it turns up on one of the tour T-shirts.
Yes that promo pic looks an awful lot like the ones for Enz 2006, sans Mal of course. Hmmm, fortuitous, photoshoped or indeed a new shoot with the same outfits (which were the same ones they wore when they were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2005.

I too think it was taken for the ARIA Hall Of Fame in 2005. If you have access to a programme from the Australian tour, there's a nearly identical photo on the centre page, with Mal between Eddie and Tim. I think he's been skillfully Photoshopped out of this one!

But seriously Zebrasnake there are still tickets for Wellingtion about the same location as i bought a week ago, there must also be tics for the other dates / locations ?.
Or is it the $'s, we could have a whip around, in fact are there any generous members with a gold or platinum credit card that want to be my friend, i could show you around the underbelly of N.Z. life.
