Perth is probably the nicest city in Australia, IMHO,
I lived in Perth for three months a few years back, it has to be one of the dullest cities I have ever been to....
I lived in Perth for 11 years, and it is indeed one of the dullest cities on earth.
As others have written, it's an immense distance from the other main population centres in Australia - both physically and mentally.
Yes. There are nice places thereabouts - but few and (very) far between. The stuff about Margaret River is largely marketing hype (although the best of the wines are among the best in the world.)
Whilst it no longer shuts down at 5pm, it's still sleepy as heck in what passes as the centre. Developers ripped the heart out of the place in the 60s. That's why Fremantle as a place to visit is nicer than Perth. Public transport is a joke. The climate though is seductive.
Stones' fans who do visit both cities are invited to take a stroll around Perth centre after the show, and then around Melbourne after the show there, and to think about the differences!

And it just goes to show what a rip off this act has become. A disgrace for those who pay full price...of course there are certain people who dont have to worry about paying full price for tickets.

What does that mean?
I have a fair amount of experience that leads me strongly to the view that there's no such thing as a free (and by implication discounted) ticket to a Stones concert. Every single ticket is accounted for. If someone gets a "free" ticket, then someone somewhere else has put up the money for it, or it has come out of a specified account/budget.
Am I wholly wrong in my view?

Perth has been showing 'Allocation Exhausted' in red on the Ticketek web site for some weeks.
A short time ago (Sat 8th March - middle of day local time) there was a change. There seem to be a fair number of PC2 tickets there.
I guess they have given up on flogging overpriced VIP tickets.
Hope this helps someone.

Tickets are bing flogged on ebay as well as gumtree Eleanor Rigby. Makes you wonder how many scalpers in Perth. Hope they get their fingers burnt.
