Question:

Do they run buses direct between Coolangatta airport and the Parklands? Having not been to a GC BDO before I'm not sure how I'm gonna go about getting there.

i don't think so, but i know they run from surfers to the bdo .. so you might have catch a bus from coolanghetto to surfers and then take the transfer bus thing.

edit; actually you can get buses from the airport to griffith university (might have to stop and change buses at broadbeach) which is like, across the road from parklands. probably a cheaper option than those actual bdo shuttle things.

Do you think my best chance at getting tickets lies with purchasing them on the internet or at a retailer in Melbourne (as soon as it opens its doors!) ?

I actually had no idea the official site was on sale at midnight. I just went on Ticketmaster, got them with no trouble apart from nervous waiting.

True, but it's the final annoucement.

BDO forum:

Big Day Out organisers are set to announce another 40 acts to play at next year's festival - but not until November 21.
A press release issued today said organisers had combined the final two announcements into the finalised line-up, which will be confirmed next Wednesday.
They said 40 more acts would be named to join Rage Against the Machine, Bjork, Arcade Fire, Dizzee Rascal, Shihad and LCD Soundsystem at the festival.
Some cryptic clues as to who might be included in the final line-up were included in the press release. It included a tough hangman-style challenge, and it said one of the bands might begin with the letter "L".
