Hope everyone has been successful in the presale today!

I can't decide whether to jump in now and by tickets for Sydney (bay 110-1) or wait and see if better seats come up later in the P2 category

 

[cobl04]

i think i'm going to risk it and go for the general sales Friday.

Me too. Looking forward to the challenge. I'm more prepared this time at least - Vertigo involved using dialup on a very wonky Ticketmaster Multiple phones didn't help either but shouldn't have to worry this time with a proper internet connection .

To this day I can still hear the English-sounding accent of the automated message. "We regret that all lines are currently busy" over and over...

What row? 110-1 looks pretty good to me. It's about as close as you can get, with a front-on view, without a CLAW leg obstruction (though you can never tell if the diagrams will be totally accurate).

You could get closer with 102 or 136, but you'd be very side-on (even a little behind). Some of the 400's, if they continue down the sideline (which I presume they do), may be a little closer, but also side on. While the more front-on 100's will be further away. Depends what you're looking for, but I think 110-1 will be some of the best $230 seats, especially if you get a fairly low row number.

nice work d.darroch - what would we do with out you . . have been lucky enough to secure seats in the 130 - 1 block for night one so looking forward to taking in the claw in all its glory


have posted in the other aussie thread, and I'll post this in the appropriate thread later tonight, but for now, I have 2 GA's to the first Sydney show that I would be happy to trade for Melb GA's, any show . . . PM me if you're interested

Row 25, seats 49 & 50 - I hope they are good seats because I caved in about 10 minutes after I posted this and bought them The view looks good on the interactive map so...

btw, your maps have been very helpful with selecting tickets - thanks!

nice one . . .

 

[d.darroch]

no worries guys, if only the ticket sites could do this for us & give us some idea about pricing (they did for Paris & Amsterdam). Still Ticketek was crashing enough in the general sale the way it was. Imagine if there were loads of people saying "nah, don't like those tickets, lets try again"

i think both 130-1 & 110-1 will be totally

livenation australia on facebook, just said...PERTH! - We have something exciting for you in the next hour or so, so keep your eyes on us....

a 3rd show perhaps!?

 

[AndrewCowley]

3 shows for Perth would be amazing. Melbourne might be a chance of 3 as well.

 

[ramblin rose]

This is anti-climatic.

ATTENTION PERTH - We've just opened a limited number of additional $39.90 tickets for the SUNDAY show. Get in quick because they won't last

 

[Axver]

This is anti-climatic.

To put it mildly.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

that was the big news?

 

[ramblin rose]

Someone at Live Nation has a huge sense of humour.

 

[quadcaster]

FAIL livenation

 

[Axver]

As I just posted elsewhere, lesson learnt: "something exciting" is Live Nation code for "hyping a routine ticket drop".

 

[bono_man2002]

They might as well have said both shows were canceled!

 

[ChargedVT]

Well there goes my idea of getting a Red Zone for Brissy 2 in the presale. There aren't any! Seems there are for Sydney though.

 

[AndrewCowley]

15 minutes and counting...

 

[quadcaster]

2 or 4 ticket limit in this livenation presale?

 

[kabigon]

Changed my mind about waiting until Friday hehe

Too easy.

 

[Axver]

Total fuckin' breeze, just like last week.

 

[bono_man2002]

Is this working for anyone in brisbane/sydney?

 

[bazza]

no - doesnt show the 14ths show

 

[Axver]

Wow, Ticketmaster's actually proving more competent than Ticketek today?

 

[AndrewCowley]

ticketek are a useless bunch of fools. why can't they make it work? this is their business. i hate them with a passion.

 

[bazza]

its fkd - they are stupid!!! wake up and fix it!!!!

 

[bono_man2002]
