I think that might just be a reference to 2013's show being cancelled, and the really poor ticket sales for the 2012 one

Thank fuck for that - I thought for a minute there that poor ticket sales or something had thrown the Auckland date into question

Nah I don't think there's any reason for 2014's shows to be in jeopardy other than the fact they cancelled the second Sydney show. But fuck, they'd better hurry up and announce more bands if they want to sell tickets because they've barely got enough to fill 3 stages at this point.

I still can't justify going at this stage. I know it's PJ, but I don't have that kind of money lying around. Previous tours at $100 was normally OK, but now just short of $200 :shake:.

I'm either hoping for a sudden late announcement of side shows. Or a bunch of people crack the shits with line up changes/cancellations, and the private sell prices of tickets plummet.

If neither of these occur, I won't be really fussed.

There's a guy selling a Melbourne ticket for $100 on the last page, I think.

Us Tasmanians have to fork out double the price of the show tickets to even get there!

It's a reeeeaaaaaaalll possabilityyyyyyyy.

It just depends on how I can rearrange a few things that I had organised for that week, and mainly that day. I hadn't realised until this morning that the Melbourne BDO was on the 24th, not the 26th (or at least on the weekend) like it often is. If i can work around those things, I'll be there. I'll know in the next day or 2. :hooray:

There was supposed to be a second announcement over a month ago, they're really killing their own festival at this stage

I'm hearing that a number of the bands on the second bill have pulled out.
