Quotedrbryant Well, did two Tongue Pit packages for me and my daughter and a decent but definitely not great Cat 1 for my wife, who doesn't want to stand for hours. Daughter is on Spring Holiday, so it's a nice opportunity to do two days in Melbourne and two days im Sydney. Also figured out that I can pay for all tickets and hotel by flying Economy instead of Business, so that

Can someone tell me for the USA arena shows this year were most of the tickets in the $350 to $600 range or are the Stones just fleecing us Aussies?

Bombed out on pre-sale mustn't have been many tickets available - what a wank Frontier touring!

That surely is speculative work....Mick's very worried about scalpers.....too late they are already in the house!
Forum: Tell Me

True but I think because there's only show in Melb (apart from the Rock) they will be sold quickly. Maybe there's a chance to get cheaper tickets at Hanging Rock closer to the time.

Let's hope there are no bushfires in Australia over summer otherwise the name of the tour "14 on fire" might sound a bit tragic.....
Forum: Tell Me

yes I'm in for Adelaide instead of going to Sydney like in 2006 where I missed the start of the gig because the trains took sooooo long to get to homebush! I've heard conflicting views about Hanging Rock some said they would never do it again whilst some people have said (apart from the traffic hassles) they would go again. I want to take my 17 year & 13 year old girls so though

Ah of course Deathgod! Which shows will you be going to?

No doubt more of the same stupid questions from 48mins: how long before you retire? What's the secret of your success.....blah, blah, blah!

For the Adelaide show announcement came through late morning after 11am Melb/Sydney time so I would expect similar today.
Forum: Tell Me

It looks like Adelaide show is all but sold out this morning, I checked 10mins into the sale and most tickets were gone, checked again just now and only pricey packages remain. Roll on Melb, Sydney & Perth!!

My wife and I met him very briefly - he wasn't up for a chat after being on stage for 3 hours...I was also interested in meeting Tom Morello but passed it up....

Don't hold your breath for that one to happen with the Stones as it's too controlled!! As much as I love the Stones after seeing Bruce in Melb last year and meeting him briefly at the Park Hyatt bar I also saw the 7:30 report and thought yep it's possible with the Boss! A 3 hour, show huge turnover of songs and over $300 cheaper than the Stones for the best seats in da house!

We aren't allowed to give hotel details away, shhhhhh but if you watch the video footage closely you'd work it out: same place they always stay in Paris and many other cities around the world - not hard to guess if you think of the seasons that make up a year!!!

Splashed my cash today and got 4 tickets to Melb arena show on the side in PC2 seats looking down on the tongue pit. Tickets were all gone in a couple of minutes.

QuoteCaptainCorella I don't disagree that this is where next week's tickets most probably originate (the stuff about finalising production information is bulldust), but what then was the origin of the ticket drop 10 days ago? The point I was making about finalising production is that is one of the excuses that promoters trot out to sell even more tickets. In reality for the Stones

Yes they were offering cat 2 seats in the packages

I haven't received an email from Frontier either maybe it's coming next week or they have ex-communicated me after I gave them a serve in the Melb Age about ticket prices!!!
Forum: Tell Me

Quotedrbryant Melbourne is sold out again, but they still have packages available. Unless they sell those packages, there should be more ticket drops as the show date approaches. That's what happened in the US. I sure hope you're right drbryant otherwise it will be first time I will miss seeing the Stones in my hometown since 1973.....!!!

I have read both plus Bobby Keys book as well and about to read Rod Stewart's. I was a bit disappointed with Pete's book - he is full of self doubt and also quite antagonistic towards Roger Daltrey. Pete's childhood whilst somewhat interesting was a bit long, plus I never got the feel for the music that the Who created apart from Tommy and Pete's obsession with writing anot

Just checked for Melbourne section 7 on the side by the tongue pit but still too expensive for a guy on the Abbott dole!!
Forum: Tell Me

Possibly the case Macnee2 if they can get more seats or general admission standing capacity they will do so. I understood the Adelaide show was sold out as well, along with the 2 Springsteen shows in Melb where the 2nd show has now more GA tickets available.
Forum: Tell Me

Yes as the production is finalised seats become available or if certain expensive "packages" don't sell.....I'm waiting for the same thing to happen for the Melbourne shows so I don't have to pay the exorbitant ticket prices!
