IT WAS A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME
In an effort to calm the waters, we have felt it best to keep all the tickets in the Sydney ballot at $125+bf.
Regardless of what our logic was behind it, I appreciate that this increase basically put us in a similar position to the scalpers that we detest.
The issue of scalpers is a very emotional one for all responsible promoters. How can anyone really have fun at a show that they have paid 4 or 5 times more than the normal ticket? Scalpers don’t even pay GST or tax on their income let alone give you any guarantee that the ticket is real...... We do.
On a brighter note it appears almost 2,000 of the original 45,000 Sydney sales were rejected or were multiple transactions, which means the first 2,000 of the ballot will be at $115+bf.
This now means there are 12,000 tickets available
