Yes! do! and we can have like an aussie mac-convention

haha

 

[miss_bailey]

Does anyone know what the criteria for entry is? I know some of them you have to show certification of some kind.
And tickets? are they on sale now?

 

[boudoirblonde]

OMG!
Tickets are now available to buy!
Advance price is $30 per day, or $50 for both!

That is pretty decent

I think I'll buy a show ticket now, and then decide later if I will actually buy a plane ticket

Completely agree!!

I think I may end up doing this as well... see if I can co-ordinate my work visits to Sydney with this! If not, I might just buy a plane ticket

 

[boudoirblonde]

Ok, so I went to buy the tickets, and then it told me US$26.60 to ship them?!
WTF, they are tiny flat tickets right? It should cost like US$2 at the most!

 

[MrsMay]

This is going to sound really really silly... but maybe do a CP for them?

LMAO! Thats the first thing that came to my mind also!
haha, but I think I'll contact them and ask if thats correct

 

[miss_bailey]

Let us know what they say!
I dont understand why they wouldnt have an Australian ticketing outlet do the ticketing for them?

Are people going both days? Im only going to go one, which one though??

Omfg! This is what they said;
"Yes, that is correct. It is very expensive to ship overseas. It is best if you just pick them up at the will call booth the day of the show"

That is an effing joke!! As if we just live under a rock here in Aus! I had an MSF shipped here recently it was like $4, like two tiny pieces of paper will cost US$26!

RANT OVER.

Why only one day? Im going to both, but I'll probably only be there for half a day on each day, cuz I wanna get some other shopping in too

haha!

 

[simplyenchantin]

Uhh I would write back if I was you and paste them the link to the USPS shipping website.

 

[Le-Saboteur]

Oooh, awesome! I think I'll give this one a miss, and judging on how you guys say it goes I might go to the next one.

Don't wanna spend $400 on return tix if it turns out to be a let down.

LOL at shipping. Come on, that's ridiculous.

 

[with.the.band]

This sounds so exciting! Especially because of the rumours (verified by the IMATS in London) that the Pro Cards were being given out without need for all the documentation. Does anyone think that this would happen during the Sydney one?!

 

[darkorchid]

So to summarise, the show is open to the layperson? And we will probably have to get tix on the day?
