Apparently I was missing the u in .au in Luke's email address so neither my entry nor the email straight after (withdrawing the entry) went through! icon_lol.gif

Cool, my name is listed as a Sydney winner (safely assuming there is no other Travers C as a PALGN member!).

Thanks PALGN guys and THQ (I have most of their SpongeBob games! icon_razz.gif)

The courier hasn't arrived with the tickets. This means it's going to be basically impossible to get them out to people for the session tomorrow... we're still trying to figure out what to do.
5 years ago
dam.. thats gotta suck. it looks like the courier wont be coming until tomorrow then with them. winners can be notified and you can do same day courier to sydney based people maybe? Just a thought. Or possibly pickup from PALGN office?
5 years ago
I entered before 1pm...did I win? icon_razz.gif

Why not have them sent to the venue, and have the winners collect them at the door if possible?
5 years ago
Same day courier needs to be sent before 12. Even if we could arrange for a pickup, people would still have to get to newcastle afterwards. Winners names should be going into the article as I type this. We'll send out an email to try to sort this out individually.

This will be last time we run a comp for the following day icon_rolleyes.gif

Hmmm... I may have a few spare ones for Newcastle tonight since people can't make it. If anyone is willing to pick them up from Sydney CBD this afternoon then drive up send me an email ASAP.

Hey my buddy and I had a great time at WWE Raw! Thanks once again to PALGN and THQ. Special thanks to JAMES, who had to wait in the cold and rain, for us to collect our tickets! icon_biggrin.gif

Wow wow wow.I had a great time at the WWE and i've decided to share some photos of the event and just give a brief lowdown on what went on, cause i know all you guys just love photos.

Anyways, so after knocking off work early i picked my sister up(yep she begged to go after i told her i won a double pass to go see raw) and drove up to Mt Vic, to catch a train to Parramatta, to catch another tain to Lidcombe, to catch another train to Olympic park.After arriving and remembering James' instructions to meet him 'at the overflow' to pick up the tickets, i felt a bit out of my depth as the place was huge, it was night time, raining, and i didn't know where anything was.It was around 6:10 by the time i went to go ask a cafe where the overlfow was but stopped just short as i noticed it was called 'the overflow cafe'.Ten mins passed.No James.

Hmmm...ok....so i went for a walk around the place mistaking every second guy for James and still no luck.In the meantime my sister rings me up on the phone and says shes found him, relieved, i go back to the cafe, and meet a fella who looks nothing like James.

'James?'...i asked puzzled?
'No, i'm Dane, aren't you supposed to be James?'
'Uhh no'.Then it all made sense, my sis had infact not found James, but another lost soul who was also looking for James for the tix.

My heart sank, as it was now close to 20 to 7, but lo and behold, James the scalliwag walks right up behind us at that very moment.I shake his hand and introduce myself and make some small talk while he tears off the tix and then he asks if any of us is 'jibbs' lol.I say i am, and he does a double take and shakes my hand again haha.

So after getting mine and another dudes tickets sorted, James had to brave the weather for another 20 mins to wait for other winners to show up.I offered to hang around with him and just keep him company but i wasn't cool enough and he said he'd be alright icon_biggrin.gif

Fair enough, i told James i'd meed him inside.After checking out the merchandise and being gouged to death as i bought a t-shirt for mum, i quickly made our way to our seats, which were, by the way, quite kick ass considering i paid zippidy doo-dah for em.James bought along his dad who was pretty cool and i introduced myself, where i noticed both James and his old man had beers.I raced back out to the lobby and saw two huge lines, one for the bar, one for food.I hadn't eaten for about 9 hrs.

I chose to get a beer icon_razz.gif

So after just making it back in time to my seat, the show was on.Add heres some pics for ya, i dont have one of every match, but the best few are in there that turned out alright and not to blurry.


Door, 5, row LL, seat 99.Not too shabby.


James says he's a Mickie James fan(the one in the red dress).He likes em with junk in the trunk so it seems.I'm more of a Torrie Wilson fan myself, but shlt, i'd take any and all.


The man, the legend, the legend killer, Randy Orton.Awesome match, and he won too against Kane.James said he took movies, i hope i'm not on any sounding like a school girl as Randy made his entrance.

It was around about this time that the craving for munchies was coming through thick and fast so at the intermission i made a dash for the food court and picked up a hotdog meal for the sis, a hotdog and sub for me(hey i was hungry) and got a hotdog for James, cause i knew if i didn't get him something he'd look at me with puppy dog eyes as i ate my food, wanting me to throw him some.You know that look they give.icon_razz.gif

So after just making it back in time, i dunno what happened......i dunno if i ate the hotdog too fast, or it was just a bad hotdog(are there good hotdogs???) or i partially inhaled half of it when Randy Ortons theme music came on, but 5 mins after downing it, it wasn't playing cricket with my lower instetine.Awww man, for the rest of the night, including most of the trip home, i had killer gut pains, real sharp stabbing pains, and i let James know about it too, through constant whining.He apparently only had a bit of his hotdog(to be polite i guess) then turfed it somewhere down the front rows unbeknownced to me.Smart thinking James.Curse that hotdog.


The crowd went bananas when Shawn Micheals came out to the familiar DX tune.I was a bit miffed that HHH didn't show(the missus just had a baby the week ebfore so i guess that's why) but he and one-off dx stand in Ric Falir(WOOOO!) made short work of the spriit squad.


And here is a pic of the man, and the legend.Oh and James is in there too.


And now it's time for tonight's MAINNNNNN EVEEENTTTT.

The rated R superstar and current WWE Champion EDGE put's the title on the line against the doctor of thuganomics, JOHN CENA!


I don't mind Egde myself.He's sposed to be a heel but yeah, don't mind him, he's pretty kewl.


It's on like Donkey Kong.


We all know what's coming up here...

Cena wins, but for some odd reason i didn't catch, Edge seems to have kept the title.Oh well, not like i was expecting the title to change hands during an overseas trip, no way.

So that's a wrap.All in all a great night.

Various Train tickets-$25
WWE HHH T-shirt-$50
Snack food(including poison dog)-$25.5+3 yrs off my life expectancy.

Getting to go see WWE RAW with James from PALGN-Priceless.icon_biggrin.gif

Top night James, hopefully all my hooting and hollering during the night didn't deafen you too much, again thanks to Palgn and THQ for the tix and i hope you had as great a night as i did.

P.S.

And sorry for getting a bit carried away after the match, i was just a bit pumped ya know....
