Yes I am bloody excited. I can't wait. I'll definitely be going if I don't get tickets for a closer venue.

Acer Arena.

 

Hey guys,anyone have any idea how to go to acer arena from bankstown via public transport??

Anyone live in bankstown??

sorry i just moved in bankstown from malaysia couple of days ago!!

Take a train from Bankstown Station to Olympic Park Station - exactly what I did when I went to the ARIA Awards this year, which was also at Acer Arena (except I came from Bondi Junction Station).

 

Acer Arena is a 3-minute walk from the Olympic Park Station.

what's the name of Olympic Park station?

between,the train 24 hours in service?:)

It's just called 'Olympic Park Station'.

 

Check cityrail.com.au.

 

To get from Bankstown Station to Olympic Park Station:

 

- take a train from Bankstown Station to Lidcombe Station

- take a train from Lidcombe Station to Olympic Park Station

 

It'll take 40 minutes at maximum.

thanks mate!!

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

 

i'm so excited they finally announced!!!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

 

smileys just can't express how happy i am!

When you get to Bankstown Station buy a return ticket to Olympic Park Station.

 

Then ask for one of the staff to direct you to the line to goes to Lidcombe if you're having trouble finding it.

 

Once you're on the train be aware when you arrive at Lidcombe Station. It should take about 20 minutes. When you do, be sure to get off.

 

At Lidcombe Station find the sign that says Olympic Park Station and catch that train and you'll arrive there in about 6 minutes.

 

Oh, by the way, you can't pre-book train tickets.

Where are colbalt and Jizo? Shouldn't they be posting their excitment here.

Thanks mate,but i wanna know how to buy coldplay ticket?

sorry.:)anyone can help me buy ticket?

They're not on sale yet.

 

If you have a Visa credit card they go on pre-sale this Thursday.

 

Otherwise you'll have to wait until Thursday next week.

 

Check ticketek.com.au.

Whats it mean when it says pre-ordered tickets wont be priotrity seats or something like that?

damn...thursday,anybody would like to help me buy?:)

Anyone got their tickets already?

 

I'm in Section 19 both days (Jonny's side :laugh3:)

Yep, got my standing tickets for myself and two friends! :D

 

It may be almost 4 months away, but I can already tell time is going to go veeeery fast!

wow that's cool.

 

I couldn't for the life of me get standing tickets although it was stated they were 'available' on the site :rolleyes:

Yeah, basically ticketek.com.au sucks.

 

It's really disorganised and unclear, I had trouble buying my tickets too.

It's crazy, giving only 10 minutes before logging out.

 

Other sites I used before gave me 10 minutes to HOLD a ticket, but won't log me out, sparing me the time wasted by refreshing the page and logging in again.

 

But that's water under the bridge already, we got our tickets :D
