Yay- BDO tickets JUST before they all sold out!

Two of my friends and i bought tickets the other night after reading that they were all sold out from the BDO site...boy i am i glad that we did! I can't believe that they are ALL sold out already- that's so crazy!

And after a whole year of anticipation, so excited that we're going, and so wrapped that we got tickets! We must have just gotten in would predict....woo hoo!

Regardless of who is on and who isn't though, it's always a day of fun in the sun This year was the first one I've missed (Having been to four prior to that), and I regretted it all day. There's nothing better for Australia day than BDO

Well done on getting tickets too, I'm really glad we didn't wait any longer either or we'd have been stuffed. Early birds, meet worms!

And it's all thanks to you my friend. I'm just glad to be doing this with a person who appreciates good music.
It will be AWESOME!!! (And bunches more!)

Yes, well this will be the first BDO for the three of us so we are excited regardless of who plays! But i am excited for some of the bands too so thats a super cool bonus!

I think it will just be awesome to spend the day with two of my best buddies at such an awesome place- we always have fun whatever we do anyway
Also, being on Australia day will makes it even better, what a way to celebrate the day!

And thank-YOOOUU Bo-batron! (thanks for reminding me of another of those crazy "Roy" moments)

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT !!

11-10-2005

Hello everyone, hope you've all bought tickets.

It’s time for the BIG DAY OUT 2006 second announcement. So far we have been met with astonishing ticket sales (with Sydney sold out).

For those who missed out on tickets to the Sydney show, we have a surprise for you which will be announced by the end of next week! For all the others, don't feel left out, as we'll shortly have some goodies to give away.

For 2006 we searched the globe for just the right acts to come and hang out with everyone. It is after all the world’s biggest travelling summer camp. Let’s hope we all get along, have fun & hear some great music along the way. You are of course all welcome to stay back and help clean the dishes if you want.

As usual more acts and entertainment will be announced later, but for now here is our second RSVPs for the 2006 party.

All the best

Ken West & Vivian Lees

Oh and forgot to list the bands announced:

Wolfmother (haven't heard them before, but heard they're good)

Faker (wtf, they were also announced in the first announcement. Maybe they're confirming)

Avenged Sevenfold (never heard of them)

The Dandy Warhols

Beck (lots of people will be excited for this)

Norma Jean

 

[ogmzergrush]

here is our second RSVPs for the 2006 party.

Yeah, the announcements are written by a fob now.

Hahahaha I'm surprised no one has picked up on it in all this time, as it looks like they just used the format from their last announcement:

5-10-2005

Hello everyone, how’s your year been?

It’s time for the BIG DAY OUT 2006 first announcement, which means summer must be just around the corner.

2005 was pretty over the top. Considering how big the shows were it’s great that everyone kept it together. Creating a world class, safe event is always our priority & we need everyone’s help to deliver the shows you not only expect, but deserve.

For 2006 we searched the globe for just the right acts to come and hang out with everyone. It is after all the world’s biggest travelling summer camp. Let’s hope we all get along, have fun & hear some great music along the way. You are of course all welcome to stay back and help clean the dishes if you want.

We also have a fantastic new venue for Melbourne this year. More area, more grass, more trees & close to the city.

As usual more acts and entertainment will be announced later, but for now here is our first RSVPs for the 2006 party.

All the best
