Its going to be a billion dollars per ticket, so you may as well stay off the ticketek website on day of sale and that wat its less clogged for us who can afford it...

hamo.p · 23-11-2008, 06:51 AM

thank god, they've finally announced the tour. not that god had anything to do with it. but still.
i missed the twisted logic tour so this is gonna be awesome! i read somewhere that tix will be around $140. wish i could go to both melbourne nights though

lequanghuy1610 · 23-11-2008, 09:47 AM

Hi, how can I purchase for the pre-sale without a Visa card? I just have Access card of ANZ

Cobalt · 23-11-2008, 10:04 AM

You can't.

viva la justin · 23-11-2008, 10:13 AM

HAHAHAHAHA GOIGN TO BE AN AWESOME NIGHT OUT

givelovesolong · 23-11-2008, 11:05 AM

You know, I'd almost certainly consider paying a billion dollars to see Coldplay. Almost.

The thing about the Visa Pre-Sale is that you have to have a Visa card -- you're not allowed to participate otherwise. So, thank you very much, Dad.

I am so excited for this. Seriously. I'm pretty much set on doing anything to get to both Melbourne shows.

Speaking of which, for those who have had previous experience, any advice on how much earlier you'd need to get to Rod Laver to get the best possible GA position?

Cobalt · 23-11-2008, 11:11 AM

I've heard from times as early as 8am, but I know twistedCLOCKS here got second row after joining the line at 4pm - the security guard moved her up

Cobalt · 23-11-2008, 11:15 AM

Also about the Visa credit card thing - guess it's because Visa got the promoting job

Ooh, very nice! But 8AM? Bummer. I'd be so up for that, but yeah -- school is going to make that a little difficult.

I figured I'd go reserved seating for the March 3rd show, then GA for the one on the 4th. Get a feel for things.

Thanks for your input, Cobalt.
