Ok....so here's the deal boys an girls....I got a ticket.

Sorry let me repeat that more clearly: I GOT A FRIKKIN TICKET!!!!

I had an ad on gumtree and got a few responses but all of them were for thousands of dollars until a girl named Kelly McDonnell came along and now (after only paying $250...and to be frank I had been prepared to pay up to 500) I'm going to the May 31st show!!!!

I dont have a curefans shirt so not sure if I can be in your Opera House steps picture, but I'd definitely love to meet u all for the meet-up, so is that cool? (tho...is the 5:30-6pm meet-up on the first night or the second??)

So happy!  (tbh somehow deep down I always kept the hope that i would be going

4 sleeps!

and I could not agree with the following more: "To all of you who can't be at the Opera House for the shows we'll be taking you all along in our hearts"

Very happy for you! have a fantastic moments!!!

Hey gang, I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet, but will they be playing songs of the 'Boys Don't Cry" album version, for example, 'Boys Don't Cry'?

My all-time favourite Cure record is Disintegration, but my all-time fave Cure song (which is saying a LOT, as there are *soooo* many vying for that top spot is Boys Don't Cry....

I hope at least it gets into the encore

P.S. I still can't quite believe I got a ticket and am going!
P.P.S. Thanks for the lovely words everyone, look forward to meeting you all Tuesday 5:30-6

but will they be playing songs of the 'Boys Don't Cry" album version, for example, 'Boys Don't Cry'?

Well, BDC is not included in "Three Imaginary Boys" (except for the US version of the album named "Boys Don't Cry") so if they play only their three first albums as stated in the program, this song won't be played.

However, as in the "Trilogy" concerts, the band is likely to play extra songs, so maybe BDC will be played there. We will know it in two days

Mkay Chaps/Chapettes... re: the meet up. I reckon we can do both nights... I see no reason why not! So Both nights, I will be on the Opera House Steps, 5.30pm - 6pm.   
It matters not a jot if people have a curefans.com tee, we're all kindred Cureites! I reckon time wise we take the photo around 6.30pm... As if I understand it right, they will not let late comers in until the intermission or summit?! And we don't want to miss a single second huh.

This is gonna blow my mind, and I will cry at some point to during the shows... (I always do ;p ) For those that have missed out, I feel your pain. But take this with you, your gonna get to see it on DVD eventually... always find a positive!

Also, I am totally crap with names... So if you do meet me, please don't be offended if I don't 'get' who you are in the forum ;p

Is anyone taking their laptop with them? So posts can be done asap for those that want to know what went on? I'm thinking of taking mine, but then I only have a 10kg luggage allowance, not much for this girl and her wardrobe!! So I may have to leave mine at home...

Anyone familiar with the Opera House as far as autograph hunting? Is it even possible at that venue or is the entrance for acts underground or something?  I know at the Entertainment Centre if you hung out the back you could get lucky with an autograph.

BTW Dean, I've been wondering the same thing regarding track listing. I expect it will be the TIB tracklist verbatim...which would mean missing some great early songs (hey Charlotte Sometimes misses out too...). They way the band ripped through the early stuff in the Dream Tour encores, that first set could be gone in 35 mins....time for a few extra songs?
