Presale/General Sale Discussion - Australia/New Zealand

[dan_smee]

I had 5 P1 tickets was entering credit card details with 7 minutes left and it knocked me off too.

I got back on and got in the bay next to where I was (not optimum, but still pretty happy).

We are in Sydney bay 106-1, row 23.


Good luck to everyone trying to get tickets! Get on there quick so we can have a second show announced

By the way does anyone recomend the TicketFast option. It says you can print your ticket online? Any problems with this?

 

[dan_smee]

^ I have heard of issues with poor qual printers, but I dont see any other issues with them

As long as you aren't trying to trade or sell, I've never had problems with TicketFast. I just hate that they charge you to use your own ink.

My friend got seating tickets for us for the Melbourne shows, and I got a Brisbane GA ticket!

Nah, TicketFast is pretty good as long as your printer isn't totally outdated shit.

 

[ChargedVT]

Very frustrating when you click to go to the next page and it just stays on that page for the rest of your allocated time and you lose tickets. Gah!

 

[ChargedVT]

Sydney and Brisbane Red Zones sold out.

Thanks. On another note, are you going to let us know when they announce additional dates?

 

[coolian2]

i had an issue with ticketfast once, my spandau ballet tickets printed out in bright pink.

 

[Axver]

Thanks. On another note, are you going to let us know when they announce additional dates?

I imagine we'll all probably know about the same time as everybody else!

Actually, today's a really awkward day for sales for me, since I've got a flight later today. Glad I scored my tickets in the presale, and I'm just crossing my fingers that, like last time, the second shows won't go on sale immediately.

How long was it last time...like a couple of hours or days?

 

[davexl]

finally got 2 GA's for Melbourne after 40 mins hitting refresh. Phew.

I believe the extra shows were announced later in the day or the day after sales for the first shows, and they went on sale a week later.

Just checked some articles from the time ... yep, about a week's gap between announcement of second shows and the ticket sales.

 

[Sibley]

This is all I get from Ticketek and i've been trying since 8.50am

 

[ChargedVT]

Yeah when I turn my monitor off I reckon that image will be burned into it. I've got in a few times but there's a time limit and the pages are really really slow to load so you end up losing your tickets!

 

[AndrewCowley]

Got a Brisbane GA to go with my Sydney and Melbourne GA's sourced via the pre-sale. Yahoo. Now just waiting for those additional shows to be announced. Excited!

 

[quadcaster]

Sydney is selling much slower then Brisbane, but admittedly is at a much larger venue:

SYD
P1 Single seats only
P2 Available
P3 Available
P4 Available
P5 - Arena Standing Limited seats only
Red Zone Alloc. Exhausted
P7 Available
P8 - Alcohol Free Available
P9 - Alcohol Free Available
P10 - Alcohol Free Available

BRIS
Pl1 Available
Pl2 Available
Pl3 Single seats only
Pl4 Limited seats only
Pl5 - Arena Standing Limited seats only
Pl6 - Red Zone Alloc. Exhausted
Pl7 Single seats only

 

[quadcaster]

Ok, so I've now got GA to all shows. YAY!!!!!! This is so awesome! What a rollercoaster ride this last week or so has been!

 

[Tommy WM]

This is all I get from Ticketek and i've been trying since 8.50am

I opened 5 tabs and it seemed to work quicker. It's not as busy right now.

 

[razredge]

Why can't I buy any GA tickets for Sydney if Ticketek is still showing limited seats left?

 

[Saracene]

Melbourne showS? do you know something we don't

It must be wishful thinking speaking

 

[Tommy WM]

Brisbane GA SOLD OUT

 

[Tommy WM]

So is Sydney mind you

 

[dazzlingamy]

so got my tickets to PErth in the presale, can't really go to any other shows unless they do melbourne after the 10th of Dec...HA!
I was thinking they might just leave them all at one show perhaps? It seems like they only have one stage...so it might take a lot of time to go between dates? otherwise i have no idea why they swinging around the wrong way!
Either way am happy! U2 on the 18th, Muse on the 19th!

 

[Axver]

GAs flew out the door everywhere. Think Melbourne is nearly sold out.

No, they are bringing two. There are four day gaps between most shows (Melbourne/Brisbane the exception), which is not enough to tear down, transport, and set up. One stage is doing Auckland/Brisbane/Perth, the other Melbourne/Sydney.

 

[Alisaura]

I couldn't bring up any GAs in Melb just now, but singles in the upper three seated price categories still there. That was ten mins ago though... Kinda surprised that I could still get so many different tickets (if I wanted to).

I wish Ticketmaster had a single page that told you which allocations had been exhausted.


PS: Is it just me, or are Ticketmaster's code-deciphering word scrambles getting more and more bizarre? I swear out of going through ten of them, there were only three real English words in there.

For the sake of it I tried to see what seated tickets I could get. I'm still amazed at how good some of them were.

And yes your right...I had one that said 'thrash israel'. Bit mean I think!

 

[Alisaura]

I wonder how quickly a show would want to sell out before it justifies a second gig...? Am a little worried for Melbourne, but it's only been 90 minutes I suppose. Did the presales really absorb a lot of the more frantic demand, or is the lack of exposure NLOTH got making an impact?
