dunno if this is old news but just heard about this before

http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,26278,24280607-10229,00.html




Clarkson and Hammond will host 10 shows in Sydney from February 6 to 9, with tickets yet to go on sale.

The 75-minute shows will include supercars, stunt driving and variations of popular interactive segments such as the "Cool Wall", where visitors will rank their favourite vehicles.
The hosts will play car football and anonymous racing driver The Stig will take on a fire-breathing monster called Swampy.

[vectraguy01]

[poita]

i wanna go i wanna go

[glider]

[DEE-80Y]

[Ice]

[Calibrated]

either way, im booking as soon as tickets are available :D

[dieselhead]

tickets on sale starting today! i'm so pissed off, need to go to work where ticketek is blocked... i'd go to the 8:00 pm Saturday show... please, could someone log in and buy a Platinum ticket for me? please?
using the code word "SPECTACULAR" up to 8 tickets can be purchased in one transaction.
oh, forgot to add, this is a TG Mag subscriber offer!

[DEE-80Y]

holy crap.... $120.00 to $250.00 a ticket

[Wraith]

Hmmm, not so good if your interstate...

Still good excuse to take some days off work and visit my cousins in Sydney after the show...

Then again, bit of spend for tickets and travel expenses just to watch the 3 pommy stooges live :rolleyes: :D

[Snotty]

i dont know if can bring my self to spend $120 each. seems awfully high considering how many shows they're doing

[Calibrated]

tickets start from $69 actually

[Snotty]

yes but theyre shit.

[Calibrated]

well, it seems i am going to miss the johannesburg show AGAIN this year, so i'll have to go to the Sydney one.

[dieselhead]

i was thinking to go to the F1 next year, but that can wait. you don't get to see the Stig in Oz any day. i mean, not the UK version of "it" anyway :)

[Snotty]

has the f1 been canned from melbourne?
i remember it being on the cards, but didnt hear the outcome

bring on the v8s at homebush, stuff the greenies!

ps just got my tickets... $120 each sheesh, it better be good

[Calibrated]

should we maybe try to all be at the same show, if possible?

[Snotty]

i got sat 8pm

[dieselhead]

got my ticket thanks to Snotty! thanks mate, hope to see you early February in Sydney :)
it has to be on Saturday for me since I have to travel from and to Adelaide. taking Friday off I could see the show on Saturday and be back in the office Monday morning. anyone from Adelaide in for a cheap and low carbon emission ride?

[Calibrated]

ok, i'll also book for sat 8pm.

[dieselhead]

we should either rename this thread or open another one, letting people know that the opelaus crowd will meet Sat 07 Feb 2009 8:00PM to see the 3 stooges+Stig :)

[Calibrated]

flights and ticket booked :)

[Red AH SRI T]

[Calibrated]

[Calibrated]

diesel, what time are you arriving at enfield?

[Brazza]

gah it is so gay that I'm so poor otherwise I woulda gotten some mates together for this ages ago :(

[btm]

there are signs saying no camera or recording devices, but there seemed to be a few flashes going off around the place

i took a few pics on my phone - does anyone not want me to post a couple up??

[Calibrated]

do they check you for camera's on entrance? probably not a good idea to bring a DSLR with 5 different lenses haha. hmm...

[btm]

not sure ash, they were checking bags, but i'm assuming just for glass/alcohol

[Calibrated]

i'll keep the lumix in my pocket then, just in case.

[EL BURITO]

[Calibrated]

that does sound rather sleezy. lol. althought i am staying in a forumule 1.. which rents by the room, not the people. haha.

getz was like $8 cheaper than the lancer.

[glider]

:yikes::yikes::yikes:

read the second bit as well :p

[DirtyHarry]

i have to say, hammond and jeremy are very good entertainers. Loved the show, it was really great. However i dont think it was the real STIG here in sydney.

[mr corsa]

drove past how funny it was when people looked twice at a barina :yikes:

[Snotty]

and then laughed

[lee683]

hey all long time since i was on here.

i went to sat nites show. very good. but could have gone a bit longer. and the "adds" at the start were a bit of a waist?

i did see one guy in an opelaus shirt out the front near the Lotus. he had a really big camera.

[btm]

the ads at the beginning would have paid for most of the show... the tickets sales were mostly just profit!

[Shaun]

Did they test any Australian Built prefomance cars? IE F6 Falcon or a HSV GTS ?

[btm]

white W427 was there getting loose in the arena

[glider]

[lee683]

i had a guy next to me filming almost the whole show on his mobile

[Neeko]

ahh that sucks eh... reminds me of simple plan concert. Some fella next to me got told not to use his camera. Guard was secretly watching :rolleyes:

[glider]

should have

nope, was not allowed to take pics during the show :( some people did sneak in some pics, but i had the security guard right next to me :mad:

yeah at one point a guard came in next to us, was trying to locate where people are taking photos from, so not sure what they would have done if they caught you

[Snotty]

but i had the security guard right next to me :mad:

and what a grumpy old prick he was

[Calibrated]

and what a grumpy old prick he was
definitely a wet panty, and the wrong side of the bed.

[glider]

speaking of which, Dee are you keen?

[Dee]

i have two :D

speaking of which, Dee are you keen?

maybe if there was enough interest...
after may when i'll be back on that side of town again....

[Red AH SRI T]

I enjoyed every minute of the show. I was a little annoyed at the ads at the begining but at least they were entertaining. And the displays outside were interesting too.

Have a go at all the people whining about how bad it is on the blogs over at drive.com.au

wankers.

[Calibrated]

some pics from the SA show for those interested

[dieselhead]

Great show! Only Clarkson could have come up with something like this, some sort of circus with cars instead of lions and elephants. It had the clowns though, three of them. I wonder, people that said it was rubbish, what do they compare it with since there's nothing else like this? Where else would you see live all that great stuff? It had fabulous cars, some amazing stunts, four incredible drivers in Alfa 147s, a few stunning girls... Oh, and there were Clarkson and Hammond, doing their thing, as we've seen them on the glass for what, 8 years? I loved it. I had to drive a 3,000 km round trip from Adelaide for this show but I'd do it again next year.

It was great catching up with a few forum members!

Here are some pictures...

the music was really loud, otherwise all you would have heard was tyre squeeling.

fair call from ferrari

[gman]

Absolutely...I noticed they didn't use the "Ferrari's" everyone was talking about up here...

Just some dodgey Toyota Celsior drift cars....Was still a good show though. Having had the warning about the "loud" music, I took ear plugs. Glad I did, even for me it was LOUD!!!

[Greg K]

not sure about the rest of you guys that went on the sat night, but i went on the first night and the flames that shot up from the perimeter of the arena, i thought that i would get 2nd degree burns!!! did any one else find this?
