OK THIS IS IT FOLKS... THE IRON MAIDEN ROAD TRIP

[Sands Of Time]

Answers to the questions.
A- Not sure, got a place to stay in Sydney but Melbourne i'd be interested.
B- Would love to put up members but with a small house, 2 girls and a missus who will be 7 months pregnant by then, it would be chaotic!

Will probably fly to Melbourne, but travelling to Sydney and then back to Brisbane will depend if a road trip happens.

SANDS YA CAN STAY WITH ME AT MY PLACE NO PROBLEMO

[Sands Of Time]

THANK YOU!
That will be awesome

As I am in Geelong, I will obviously be going to Melb. My place is just over an hour to the Rod Laver arena if that interests anyone. However my place is fairly small.

At this early stage I plan to spend almost a week in Perth prior to the show, travelling by the Australian Airline - Qantas. Then return to Melbourne, where I will kick back at that show, then I hope to do the Sydney Leg after Melbourne.

Not sure if I can make Brisbane, put perhaps I can hire a Car to do the Sydney Brisbane trip and return.

The 2 flights are no problem at this stage and I plan to find some decent hotel room to rest my weary head.

You won't see ticket prices until close to the date or even at release most likely. Pre-sales at least will tell by 20th.

Correction, there is no HOPE about Sydney, I am there!

WOOOO this is gonna rule. I'm thinking melbourne/syd/brisbane is doable, perth is too much $$ even if i have family over there.

So yeah i dunno what i'm doing for accomodation, but something cheap sounds like the plan. Flying would have to be the preference i think.

Flying is the way if you can afford it... such large distances in that timeframe... particularly if they did manage to slip in some extra shows in the itinerary!

Yep, so true!!

I live in Adelaide so I have to fly to somewhere anyway (Perth if I could afford it, Melb definitely!).

Just to answer the questions;

1. Yes!
2. I'd love a place to stay (I'm a girl do you think that would make it difficult?). Anyone who're willing to share the room/accommodation please let me know.

[=Arise=]

Ok....This is what I'm doing.

Flying from Brisbane to Perth on the 2nd...see Maiden
Then fly from Perth to Melbourne on the 5th...see Maiden

....now.... I have left this open for a possible road trip. I am in, if it's going ahead
But we have to work this out soon, because if it looks like everyone is just going to fly to Sydney, then I wish to book my flights asap.
With another flight for me from Sydney to Brisbane/ Gold Coast.

We need a show of hands....and....definite numbers.
I'm up for hiring a van and driving up to Brisbane

Good work Arise!


Fantastic committment. That would be pretty cool to be included in but at this time I am flying to Sydney. I need to do a fair bit of research at this point and I think that starts with tickets being purchased.
