WEEEEENNNER yes!!!! You are not crazy. How have you got tickets to Sydney already? For me it says 12pm! I have tickets to brisbane and melbourne so far!! Those confirmation emails coming through to my inbox are making me tear up!!!
yes I figured that out. No panic here... I have Brisbane, Melbourne, going to Adelaide, and 2 x Sydney shows. May even be tempted to get on a plane and go to NZ.
Also can I say the tickets except really for Melbourne have been pretty well priced considering inflation and how expensive it is to tour Australia / NZ. And I know I am probably very lucky to be in a position to see them in multiple cities but $160-ish each for Brisbane and Sydney shows. I was looking at my 2011 tickets and they were $86.20. So only double really. Still the peoples band. Still pretty economical for many people and they are doing the freebie in Adelaide.

Also this is kinda funny. On Wednesday when various presales went live Pulp tickets were trending just in front of australian retirement age... help the aged.

You know its real when on the train this morning I'm looking in my ticket apps and there they are ... just waiting to be scanned. This thread will probably be me replying to myself. But I feel like its taken over my head. Everything is semi-booked apart from a few flights so I really should just not think about it until next year. I think with Covid and all the things that got cancelled there's still a sense of trepidation ...
Gosh, I'd be tempted to get the stanley knife out and swipe it, if I lived near that.
Never seem to see any billboard posters turning up for sale, maybe an occasional big poster from the tube or something. All those HUGE promo displays for More, some of them were incredible. Some of them must get saved somewhere.
Also going to be making some custom tshirts. Probably just a few. Working on them now. Pulp Come Alive in Australia - something silly like that. They'll be awesome though. thetshirtco.com.au/products/comfort-colours-boxy-tee-crop-custom-printed probably this type because I fit better in a boxy tshirt.
You know what else that has me super worried. Its cyclone season when they are playing Brisbane. It'll be almost to the day when New Order played and it was amazing that gig went ahead because trains were down and many people couldnt make it. I'd be so so so sad if that happened again... bloody tropical weather!!!
oh god no. We have lock out laws. Its probably a very different country to when you were last here! Covid sort of changed a lot. We are all smashed avo and $17 flat whites these days.
Oh and as for Britpop parties - I haven't lived in Sydney for it will be a decade next year. I'd say something might go on - but all those bars and pubs that had Britpop nights in the old days - those buildings have all been torn down or super deluxe expensive apartments because suburbs like Newtown and Redfern are all warehouse conversions and terraces going for multi multi millions of dolalrs - Australia does have a class-war as well - its called Real Estate. But going by oasis recently there were a few things on but that was in Melbourne. I havent seen so many people from those days for years. I reckon Im going to see a few old faces. It'll be weird and fun!!!!!!!!
It's 'stralia. They got everything ! - Not quite. Suede dislike us. They are the one band that has eluded me. One tour in 1999. I know stuff went down but come on...

The Randwick Junction shopping centre better still be there! I am frightened to do a google walk around where I used to hang out.
