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.
