Bruce Springsteen

Bruce noob checking in...

Did roll calls start the night before the show for the last tour?

And did the daily times vary much from show to show?

First couple of shows - in Brisbane - it was early the day of concert. I got there after 4PM for the first show and missed roll call but was 3 deep on the side right in front of Tom.

But then people started the night before in Sydney lead by an Italian couple who were doing all 10 shows in Oz. I lined up for the 3rd show in Sydney at 2pm Friday but they got there at 10PM on the Thursday night. I ended up right behind them smack bang in the middle - they had the centre stage rail I had 2 rows of peoplw between me and them.

Cruyff14 can tell you what happened in Melbourne and Hanging Rock

At Hanging Rock 2 I walked in to the pit an hour before Bruce came on and stood next to people 4 rows back in front of Tom who had been in line since 8am that morning. Funny stuff.

I gather the Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane gate and starting times will be same as Sydney's listed at Ticketek?

He came on at about 7.45pm last time yeah?

8pm at Brisbane 1. 7-30 on first night at Sydney, then at about 7-55 both of the next 2 nights in Sydney.

 

[ManWithNoName]

10pm roll call.

Methinks that I am going to thoroughly enjoy reading your blog over the next few weeks. Keep up the great work...it's been a great read so far. Hope you can go the distance

Ta REH!

We're going to make a day of it for Adel #1, and just trying to figure out school kid dropoff/pickups.....

 

[ManWithNoName]

Up to 110 now. We go back at 11 then stay at 3. Problem is the area where we line up and stay is right in the 37 degree sun. So they're trying to see if they can make the roll call later or get us let in early.

As the Boss sings this old world is rough, it's just getting rougher. Time to learn.

 

[Gasometer]

So ManWithNoName can you please give a break down of the roll call times since dawn?

 

[Gasometer]

I am still trying to get my head around not moving from the Pit from 3.30pm to 11pmish out of fear of losing my spot.

 

[Cruyff14]

You don't lose it. If you leave the pit you just tell people around you that you're going to the toilet, and show them your number on your way back.

 

[pjcrows]

Rollcall? More like ROFLcall.

 

[Cruyff14]

WOWEEEEEE the merch looks great!!!!!!!

I am 100% getting the t-shirt the guitar on it, also want the three t-shirts to the right of it too. Really loving that dark blue one!

 

[james Dean]

LOL $50 that is extortion, what happens to the clothes that don't sell, do they have a clearance sale after the tour ends?

 

[Cruyff14]

It's a standard price at almost every concert you'd go to, nothing to really LOL about. Don't know, but I am happy to pay the money.

They've been every 4 hours. But this is apparently less than normal due to the heat. We were meant to turn up and stay from 3 but got told to come back at 4, because it's just too hot and where we wait is in the sun.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Given the situation with Jake's dad, I wonder if "Just Like Fire Would" will get played at all on the tour.

 

[Cruyff14]

I would say it would.

Which shirt are you going to get?

Just spent $295.00 in my mind in two seconds. Those tee's look shit-hot.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yep. The guitar one is ****ing kick arse. Getting that STRAIGHT AWAY! The white/grey one is also great. As is the black one beside that. And that blue one woweeeee
