If those are in USD, then that is not bad...but if, as I fear that is in Australian Dollars...ticket prices varying from $39 USD to $295 USD....is out of line. NO wonder there was a big delay in announcing these dates, the profit will be minimal, ultimately affecting our sales numbers against other, less talented/significant bands. Unless some keen sponsorship/broadcast rights are negotiated by the legend himself (Young Jake Cohl), this stands to be a costly trip for the band/stage/tour personel/VIP's. I now see why the fall '06 trip back to the US is being talked about, they need to recoup the losses from many European venues (Amsterdam sadly is wide open, thankfully the Sweedish shows (thank you Erik!!) sold well though) and now Australian venues. I am sorry Corgi, you are far too good of a fan to have to be subjected to this! |

RS.com now also is advertising their members pre-sale starts on March the 2nd. Looks like I'll be screwed then because I can't afford to take out a RS.com membership this time round. Fuck the whole thing, am beginning to think it's not worth it. |

$399 is not a problem. Booked my flight to Sydney. Booked accomodation. I'm staying at some joint called "Paddy's Motel" - 2.5km from the venue. ANd, they have their own brewery and on the day of the show, they have a "lingerie lunch!".
Now, all i gotta do is get tickets. |

I expect the first few rows in Block A to be in the "Gold" price range. ($94.50)
Worth the membership fee to get them. Even for one! Makes far more sense than paying $394 to sit halfway back! |

as it should be
However there's going to be VERY few people in that category going to these shows.
Firstly, I cant imagine too many Aussies would have paid US$100 in June 2004 in the hope that they would play Down Under within a year - even them touring the US within that time frame was always going to be a stretch
Secondly, Australia/NZ is the only region that (until now) hasnt had shows announced. pretty much everyone else who had pre May 10th codes in the rest of the world will have either used, sold or ditched those codes by now (unless theyre holding on to them in the hope of additional US shows later this year or the much less likely hope of theatre shows)

is that the Visa sale?
If so, its probably the same system as what they did for the AMEX sale for Wembley
Loads of greedy wannabee scalper bastards snapping up overpriced tickets in Block B and thinking theyre going to make a killing and putting them on e-bay in seconds
Dont expect too many of the BEST seats for the lower prices in that sale.

I will probably go only to Sydney. The reason being my girlfriend is giving birth to our second child on March 28, so i already have a very understanding girlfriend who dosent mind my spulging money on memeberships and Rolling stones Tshirts and lot of booze at the concert. so Ill probably head back and give her a much needed hand.
also im in the middle of second year pharmacy and its fucking hard man. so probably wont be able to go to melbourne.
As much as i would love to. |
