adamlacy Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Ok guys, there is a strong chance of a 2nd Melbourne show and I have a contact who I got tickets through for the first show who's prepared to offer Gold tickets through their agency prior to them going on sale to anyone who I pass his details to. He has word if it goes ahead it will go on sale in a week maybe 2, if you are interested PM me your name and email address and once it's announced he will contact you with the details. Prices for the first show were $230 for gold so I expect they will be the same for the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great for those of us who have this information to get tickets early but not so for the general public.If your friend sells tickets beforehand then everyone will be in the same position as people are today, unable to get tickets.The whole system seems unfair - it really should be first in first served.

Silent Jay Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 According to Australia's long-running rock station Triple M, the promoter of the GUNS N' ROSES tour in the country has promised fans Axl Rose will not be late for his band's concerts."Axl will be on stage on time, so any of those fairyheads saying he won't be, good luck!" Andrew McManus told the station.Axl has long been hammered for being being late on stage, sometimes up to two hours late, but McManus says he's got his act together."The great thing is that the last 12 months he's been on stage on time. I can guarantee all the punters that do go, he has been exemplary," he said."He'll promise you, he'll be on stage at the right time, so don't be fearful. [if] you rock out there two hours late and think you're going to see him... the show will be over."Blabbermouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and bullshit endorsement deals with credit card companies...There was a limit of 10 per person on showbiz but a few friends buying tickets could sell them to desperate fans on ebay for lots more than originally paid. Out of interest I will be watching ebay to see just how much they put the price up.I really hope you get a ticket to the show - best of luck. How come you didn't go through Showbiz like we did if you don't mind me asking?In all my time I have never known it to be easy to good seats to a popular concert, we were given 2nd row by a fan club president one year & I'd say most of the people around us were from the fan club. For another show we had to get tickets bought from interstate to get better seats. Edited January 25, 2013 by rock4eva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerthGNR Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 So pissed with Showbiz - paid $461 for block 214 gold when now ticketek has block 215 - closer to stage for $338. I'd complain to Showbiz but they wouldn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Ticketmaster's getting a bit of flack over on their Facebook page. Rightly so.It's not that we couldn't have bought through Showbiz or bought tickets earlier...it's just if you advertise something for 12pm you make it 12pm. Not 9am.
