So the jump from 211 to 160 is because pple didn't make the roll calls?

My problem is that I am in Melb on the Friday, could get roll call for Sunday Night on Friday, but cant be back in Melb until 6.30am on Sunday morning. (I live 2hr 30 away from Melb)

So I would miss the roll calls in between Friday afternoon and Sun morning.

Should I just wing it and get to the Sun morning roll call and hope for the best?

Thoughts everyone?

No different shows......I got there later on Wednesday, but was still only 3 deep from the stage. Earlier today so will se how that goes. I think the weekend shows will have bigger cues just because of people not working.

However the pit isn't that big that any spot would be pretty good.

They won't give you a number for Sunday night until after the show on Saturday.

So then my best bet is to get to the first roll call Sunday morning.


That will work out well, I have got accommodation about 2kms away from AAMI for the Sunday.

Who's Graham?

Who's Graham?

One of the blokes who runs the roll call. Flog.

Decided tonight I'll head in at about 7, and might just stick to where I was when I came back in last night. Back corner of the pit. Lots of room, and I want to high five the Boss and whoever else walks past.

 

[ManWithNoName]

And I'm in.

 

[pjcrows]

What time is it local Man?

 

[ManWithNoName]

Quick chat with Mark Nicholas. As you do.

6.45 local.

Are you able to take a pic that shows where the back of the Pit ends and GA commences, relative to front of stage.

Only asking for the impossible.

Is there a reason why Graham is a flog?

Do we need to kiss ass?

 

[Gasometer]

Roll call for Sun show won't start until Sat night/Sun morn anyway.

So Cruyff14 if I get down to AAMI at 7.30am and roll call is 7.00am do I need to find Graham to get my name on the list...or do I need to turn up at the next roll call, say 11.00am?

Bit dark but

Nah that's good; I can see that thanks.

I am surprised at how much space there is at this time of the night in there.

 

[Gasometer]

Another stupid question but does the floor have a slant or is it flat?

 

[ManWithNoName]

Flat. And the seats are elevated.

Back of the pit is always pretty chilled. They could cram in another 500 but never do. That's the idea.

See that's what was what I was thinking last March when he did the walk around the Pit and what ManWithNoName said ^^ going to the back of the Pit there is more of a chance of getting a high five off the man.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Decision made. If the last song is solo TR again I'm bailing to get an low roll call number.
