The Australian shows (Adelaide atleast) are all seated similar to Pearl Jam. Everyone understands why PJ shows are all seated, but why the hell are R.E.M. show seated now? That sucks.. I hardly see an R.E.M. shows being life threatening.

So they can charge more for the tickets?
Because REM have old-ass fans?

I'm a non-old-arse fan who won't be there because of the ridiculous price.

BDO- not worth it
REM- not worth it

Looks like I'll be off to Splendour later on.

REM tixs are very expensive but I look at it like it's the last time I will EVER get to see them live. BDO line-up this year is so average.

:shock: Hinny when did we get divorced? I don't remember signing any papers! And if I did I'm pretty sure I would have spelt my name right!
Even through the tears....

You guys are so lucky, I would love to see them again. But they arent coming here this tour. I did see them last year, and it was awesome!

I've been wanting to see them for about 10 years now. They are the only favorite band I have yet to see!!! :x

But the tickets are too much, even for someone is dying to see them. Its just not worth it, especially where they are in their careers.

I would also be dissapointed if I had to sit down thru the whole show.... ZzZzzZzzZzZ, well maybe not sleep cuz its REM and they are awesome, but i'd want to stand and move around.

Because you can go to a hardcore show and get your face kicked in by a kid and hear shitty crossover for a fraction of the price of an REM ticket?
