Aussie Peal Jammers

ItsOKaye

Hi. Im new to this. I need to ask a question about buying concert tickets for Australia through the Ten club.

From comments Ive read we dont get preference over US members but what I want to know is do we pay US dollars for the tickets? In the past has it been worth the extra money on conversion or is it better to try my luck with tickatek when general tickets to the public are on sale?

This really depends on a number of things:
Last time only the first concert in each state had Ten Club tickets set aside for it.
The 10C shows were far better becasue you got people in the first few rows that actually supported the band rather than those that were just there for a night out.
There was talk back in 03 that Eddie was unhappy that all the shows weren't 10 C seated, so whether that will change things this time round I dont know
Yes we pay in US dollars for the 10C tickets and they're usually sold as a pair.
So in my opinion I'd go with the ten club tickets but they will no doubt be based on seniority too, so the lower your membership number the better your seats.

But until it's all been made official it's all speculative

Hope this helped :?

Thanks....Im only a new 10C member as well so I will be way down on the list I suppose.

It will be my 1st PJ concert and I really want to get good seats. I am so excited!

I will be really dissappointed if I get lousy seats up the back or heaven forbid miss out altogether.

Whats your 10c #?
Depending on your # you could try a different source if you really want up close seats

When I signed up to 10C I was only in time for the Newcastle gig and my number 400+++ and I got tickets in the ninth row for that one and there was a healthy 10C turnout for it.

For Melbourne in 06 I was row 20 something and my number is 326,XXX. But then in Sydney I was around 10th row. So it all depends.
I would get 10club seats where ever you can, because they do try to get the best seats for us!

it'll be interesting to see if 10c follow what they've done for a few of the recent sales this year and limit 10c seats to that countries residents only, wont it ....

Im only new to 10c as well but i hope i can get good seats, i had terrible seats when i saw them back in 06.

but was that for PJ shows or just the Ed shows? i think it was just for the Ed shows. but it would be nice to see home town jammers get seniority over interstate/overseas travellers.

I'll be trying my luck with the public sale through Ticketek, 10C only sell tix in pairs which is no good for me. I went the public route in 2006 and it worked out fine, no fears about doing it again. I sometimes wonder why I maintain my 10c membership when I have no intention of ever using it for tickets, but hey.

I wouldn't worry about missing out on tickets: there's always a way. Try not to get caught up in the hysteria surrounding ticket sales, it's pretty nuts. Even if the 10C sells out their allotment, there's always the public sale. Even when the public sales "sells out", it's never really sold out. They hang on to tickets to release at later times, just keep trying your luck. I remember talking to a guy in 2006 who had a much better ticket than mine to one of the Adelaide shows, turns out he'd just rocked up on the day and asked at the box office if he could get a ticket (not that that's going to work every time, but sometimes it will).

Failing that, there'll be plenty of people who buy the 10C tickets and will be looking for someone to share their pair with, you may have luck hooking up with one of them.

Aussies deserve to get first preference, as do New Zealanders.
End of Story.
Kat and Sea, please make this happen.
I will love you forever *insert kissy face here*

i was front row at the 2nd brisso show in 06 and the guy next to me said he brought his tickets 3 days before the show from ticketek.

3 days before and got front row. fucking ticketek hanging on to the best seats for promos and stuff and then if they don't get used sell them like the week of the show. that's a bit fucked up

zezito

I've bought a pair of front row tickets 2 days before sydney 3 in 2006

im 415xxx, I'm goin to try for 10c, but I hope Aussies get seniority, cause I will be so far back that I will have to bring Barry Hall so I can sit on his shoulders...

ItsOKaye

I hope they do 2 or 3 shows in Melbourne....

I'd say three Melbourne shows is pretty much a dead certainty.

or you could just get him to punch out all the people in the rows infront of you.
