No pit tickets, but assuming that these are VIP packages that didn't sell, they should be very nice seats even for the price (AU$595). Really strange that they are also offering Cat 2 seats.

A very disappointing event. The guy was done for straight FRAUD, and he happened to use concert tickets. He could just as well have sold a dodgy car. It in no way addresses the dreadful activities of Viagogo and others.
