Wise Enough Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Woohoo! Front and centre tickets!! No complaints here. Now to just get the night off work... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeShakey Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Second row. I hoped they'd sell out fast, which would surely guarantee a second show. Not there yet, but they seem to be going steadily (no premiums left) Finally back to NZ,I was getting used to the annual visits there for a while so it's been a long wait!I promised myself I would get to Auckland and Wellington on the next tour, only did Welly last time, it's a little tricky since I live slap bang in the middle, but I can justify it since it's two years late:) I've got a recording of the Wellington show if you're interested.

froggie Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Damn Row S for us, online at 9am. it probably will sell out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Some info here (including seating plans) - http://www.artscentr...hamer-hall.aspx Only been there once but it seemed like an OK venue (would have preferred they play the Palais). I'd go for the balcony if you want a good view, or stalls if you want to be close. Having said that, there wasn't anywhere that would be too bad. Damn, that's a pricey ticket. I'd hate to see what the going rate is for a "big" foreign act... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeShakey Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Damn, that's a pricey ticket. I'd hate to see what the going rate is for a "big" foreign act... Australia is notorious for high concert ticket prices. Part of it is that its a long way away, and you can't play as many shows. But part of it is that we just get ripped off. Bob Dylan in 2010 cost me $175, Radiohead are only $130, Soundgarden were $130, Roger Daltrey's cancelled show was $150... You get the idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 a few years back, premium seats for roger waters were only $350! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wise Enough Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Matchbox 20 were $150. Most acts have silver tickets up the back for $100. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

monkeyman Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 My wife got us tickets in the 3rd Row, Nels side. It's my last day of work before heading to the USA for 6 weeks - a great way to kick off our belated honeymoon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oldbat Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The ticket price is a bargain, as always! I just wish the Hamer Hall purchasing of tickets for Wilco was the same as the last couple of shows I have seen/am about to see there. Bargains too, for great performers ... that is not the issue! Since Hamer Hall re-opened after renovations tickets were only available through Hamer Hall itself, rather than Ticketmaster. I could pick my own seats, which to me was a great advantage. The reason is of no importance to anyone else! I was a bit pissed off to find we had gone back to the bad old days when I went to get tickets this morning. I couldn't pick my seats. I took the ones that were offered only because I COULDN'T choose. Tried again and did better but it took a long time and it shouldn't have. Why weren't the seats all the same price??? It's not a huge difference anyway and anyone who loves Wilco would happily pay the extra 25 bucks ... and being able to pick your own seat and being able to see what is still available is priceless, to me. Not many things improve these days. I thought the new ticketing system for Hamer Hall was a big improvement over the old Ticketmaster system. I thought it would be the same for Wilco. I ended up getting seats that are fine for what I want, but it was ONLY through luck and perseverance and a headache! It should have been easy and I thought it would be, but it wasn't. Whinge, whinge! Roll on March! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BeShakey Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Last Friday on their facebook page they said: Hang in there Sydneysiders, it's a comin. Surely it can't be too far away. Still lots of Melbourne tickets left, surely thats a good reason to do both? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rock Pools Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Well done, Mende. I got aa 38 and 39. I thought it was the front row for a few mins :0) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wise Enough Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'm row BB in the middle, so row 3. Seems like the arts centre was a bit off with their timing and had the net sales open early. We purchased those tickets at 8.50am when they were meant to go on sale at 9, not sure when they went on sale. Still stoked to be third row! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 i got mine at 9am on the phone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wise Enough Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Isn't that odd! Guess I should have rung at nine as well. That's okay, I'm sure the band will appreciate a night off from me Now WTF is going on with Sydney?!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
