ciao meow.xx

 

[sokki]

is anyone still trying to get tickets?

 

[Precious3]

the site is still buzy at times i see

 

[sokki]

yeah, i still can't get on there. i wonder if there's any brisbane left.

 

[Precious3]

by the looks of it there is still some reserve seating available. and prob GA as well
its good in a way that brizzy is not as large as Syd, coz that made it a lot easier for us to all get tickets, and close to the ones we wanted. I still think they will sell out in the coming days and i dont think brizzy will get a seccond show.

 

[lincsPJ]

Adelaide GA has sold out... but there are still some back rows of reserved seats available

 

[sokki]

i sooo hope adelaide and brisbane do sell out.

i guess they wouldn't add another adelaide show would they? i doubt it. but it would be good.

 

[adambk]

Dont think so as they might have trouble selling out another

About Brisbane and Adelaide selling out I dont think that should be problem. Originally I thought no at first but the amount of interest has been insane.

me too....


and no... absolutely no chance.

details about Syd2 and Melb2 go up tomoro.. but there will be no adelaide2!!

 

[adambk]

I am happy they even decided to come here

 

[sokki]

hehehe. oh well.

i'm glad they're coming here anyway. that's enough for me.

i hope they leave some time in between announcing and selling the tickets. unless it's on a monday, i'll be at work. please let it be a monday!!!

Does anyone know the actual capacity or number of tickets sold for each venue?

In particular, what is AAMI stadiums capacity for this concert?

Can't be certain...but I think they could hold 60,000 pretty safely for a gig like this...the record for an AFL game [which is of course only the stands] is over 53,000. The station sponsoring the tour here, said there are only a handful of reserved tickets left. STOKED off my face right now...have 4 GA and 2 A reserved for here...so finally, a 10 year promise to my eldest daughter gets to be fulfilled.

This has really exceeded my expectations for Adelaide, its gonna be such an awesome day/night.

I think Adeladie will be somthing, I really do. I love it the atmosphere when a smaller centre get a big event like this... it will be really electric.

Outside of Auckland, I think Adeladie is the place to be baby!

Sydney = 70,000 (plus a potential extra 70,000)
Melbourne = 55,000 (plus a potential extra 55,000)
Adelaide = 45,000 (a guess)
Brisbane = 45,000 (a guess)

TOTAL = 340,000 (including the second shows in Sydney & Melbourne)

Thats 1.7% of the national population.

For U2 to do the same per head of population in the US, they'd have to sell over 5 million tickets.

My work bought 50 A Reserve over a week ago.

Sydney 1 effectively sold out within the hour (some shitty single tickets still available as of 10am). That's amazing. This is one massive show.

Wow - thats fair to all the fans.

hold on, those Melbourne and Sydney figures are without people on the field.
I'd say it will be more like:

Sydney: 100,000 (seriously)
Melbourne: 70,000
