While I know it's not always possible, you should try and go to a Ticketmaster outlet - more chance than the always clogged up internet. I had someone trying on the internet yesterday with no luck; I got in line at 5:30 (I was about 50th in line too) in the morning and was able to get a ticket...
I'm not sure - someone in front of me in line bought 6 tickets at $199 each (:ohmy: ), and he definatly wasn't a scalper. Just a big fan - you could tell - who is friends with 5 other fans.
I'd just like to pipe in and say...
U2 WILL come to Australia.
Optus Oval IS an option - Big Day Out, kicked from the Melbourne showgrounds due to redevelopment, has been given the green light by the council and whatnot to be held at Optus.
Waverley Part IS a shit hole, and it's in the middle...
I'm a bit late, but I went to the shop and looked at the COBL single... and couldn't tell what else was on it.... so I didn't buy it.
What on earth were they thinking with the packaging?
I'm still standing by my original belief that Dido/Youssou N'Dour was the best performance on the day... :| :ohmy:
Pink Floyd were kind flat (didn't expect any more though), U2 were ok but nothing special, same with Coldplay... Richard Ashcroft was another highlight for me.
Spiritualized - Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space
Will play with your emotions for sure, and may turn you into a wreck. It's all part of the fun. After listening to it for the first time, I got really, really sick - I even though I was going to die! Horay!
I don't normally like Dido :ohmy:
Also, I've changed my mind to Babyshambles at Glastonbury. Sure it wasn't even at Live8, but damn, it rocked (just downloaded the video). Best act of Live8!
That would take me forever, so I'm looking for separate acts :p
We should make this the multi-purpose Live8 links thread though.
