March 3, 200917 yr ok now i really think i should go to the sound relief as they're opening! and full band!
March 3, 200917 yr I personally think that a full band would turn me off... I mean, I am going to see the full band in a night show, and would have rathered a nice acoustic show as something different....
March 3, 200917 yr Totally. But then again, I'd reckon there would be some idiots who would complain because they didn't do teh full set, without understanding that their stuff would already be at Acer for the gig.
March 3, 200917 yr Author Scalpers get short shrift for concert TICKETS to the Sound Relief bushfire benefit concerts go on sale from 9am today, but don't expect to see any on eBay. In an effort to head off the scalping problems that afflicted previous fund-raisers Wave Aid and Make Poverty History, the online auction house is taking the rare step of refusing to let people sell them on the site. Ticketek, which is selling the estimated 100,000 tickets to the Melbourne and Sydney shows on March 14, has already announced a limit of eight tickets per buyer in an attempt to reduce scalping. It also took the unusual step of contacting eBay and asking that it either not allow tickets to be sold on the site for profit — as is its practice with large sporting events such as the AFL grand final and the Commonwealth Games — or that it ban them altogether. An eBay spokesman, Daniel Feiler, told The Age the company had taken this step on only a few occasions, including for the Live 8 charity concert in Britain in 2005. "We want to see as much money as possible go to the bushfire appeal," Mr Feiler said. He said the company had advanced filters and people checking to enforce the policy, but urged anyone who sees tickets for sale on the site to hit the "report this item" button. As most tickets for major tours are sold on the first day of release, co-promoter Michael Gudinski said he would be shocked if the concert did not sell out. It is the biggest show Mr Gudinski has staged since the concert for the 25th anniversary of his label, Mushroom Records, at the MCG in 1999. "That was my childhood dream, to fill the MCG with an all-Australian line-up," he said. "But this is different. This will be world-renowned. Two of the biggest bands in the world (Coldplay and Kings of Leon) will both be playing two shows in one day to be part of it — I've never seen anything like that." http://www.theage.com.au/

March 4, 200917 yr Author Sound Relief tickets snapped up Victorians have snapped up Sound Relief concert tickets with 60,000 selling in the first three hours. The original ticket allocation for the March 14 concert at the MCG has sold out but more seats have been released. Sound Relief spokeswoman Reegan Stark said there were still thousands of seated tickets available for the concert, which will raise money for bushfire survivors. All standing tickets have been sold, Ms Stark said. Overwhelming demand for the $75 tickets caused delays on Ticketek's website this morning which have since eased. More than 25,000 tickets have been sold for the SCG concert, to be staged simultaneously. Midnight Oil, Kings of Leon, Augie March, Jack Johnson, Hunters & Collectors, Split Enz, Paul Kelly and Jet will be among the performers at the Melbourne gig. All profits from the Melbourne concert will be donated to the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal while half of the profits from the Sydney concert will go to the bushfire appeal and half to victims of Queensland's recent floods. Coldplay and Kings of Leon are expected to play three to four songs early in the afternoon of the Sydney and Melbourne concerts respectively.
