    This may have already been stated, but I didn't want to trudge through 54 pages of thread material to find out - but how much are tickets going for, out of curiosity?

    Nice to see you on here again Blackcat. How's northern NSW? Have you been getting plenty of rain there like we are on the Coast?

    I'm sure you'll get tickets to Brissie. I was one of the lucky ones in the 10c presale yesterday and managed to get tickets for Brisbane 1 and Newcastle.

    So I missed out on 10c presale and I have now signed up to Chugg Entertainment website, how the hell do I log in?
    I want to make sure my account is fine before Wednesdays presale.

    Yeh that was me. I lurk on the boards, just dont post much these days.

    We got a petition with a few thousand signatures in late 2002 for the Riot Act tour, but alas it wasnt to be. It came down to the fact that they wanted to play a seated indoor venue, and with no decent venue NZ was left off. This was post Rosklide, and the band wasnt doing GA.

    We got a bit of media attention, the rock got behind it - had it in cd stores, got really good support. Our feeling was they could do a seated show at a venue like western springs if they wanted to - to avoid the GA, but it didnt work out.

    We sent the petition off to the band, but didnt receive any acknowledgement or anything. They just didnt come. It was hard - A core group of us but 100s of hours in, spent some money, but nothing. Shit we even offered to buy one lucky person a double ticket to a NZ show if they came. Not good.

    In November 2006 they had two dates booked at vector prior to the OZ shows. They even had accommodation booked, and some of the tour programmes mentioned Auckland/NZ. Vector was delayed, and the shows didnt happen.

    Unfortunately I cant make Australia in March. We have a young baby and have recently bought a house. Having a baby changes things, I can assure you.

    I wrote to the 10c about a possible NZ date for Ed's tour - shit he has to literally fly past us to get to Australia. I received the following "the booking agent and promoter have not added any NZ dates to this tour."

    Who knows - maybe the demand will suprise them and they add some shows - maybe one in NZ on route - certainly a business case for it, but I dont have much hope.

    Why Hello there!! I am very jealous of you and your tickets!!

    Yep -I think 6 years worth of prayers for rain have been answered over the past few months!! We are well above average for our annual rainfall - great for some, not so great for others......heaps of grain getting ruined due to wet weather, but irrigators are stoked!

    Fingers crossed for Wednesday - I had the same trouble as one of the other posts with that Chugg thing - wouldn't let me log in?? Hopefully all goes well and hopefully my ticketeck registration has held up over these last few years!!

    If I do end up with tickets I might have to have a bit more stamina this time and try to meet a few of the 10C!! Fingers crossed!!

    I thought the presale would be through Chugg site.
    I got an email with a log on link but when I click on it nothing happens.

    Would be nice to have a Brisbane meet-up somewhere before the shows.

    And by the way, in case you didn't know... general public tickets sales for the Brisbane shows are not through Ticketmaster or Ticketek, they're through http://www.qtix.com.au

    Never a truer word spoken.


    Look, I feel for NZ fans, but for some reason Ed is overlooking NZ. It could be financial, which these decisions usually are - it is the promoters job to analyse what is the best financial outcome for the artist. If a schedule involving NZ takes cash away from the final profit, the promoter won't encourage it.

    There are loads of examples. Bands with massive tour overheads and setups will skip low-attendance or small-venue cities because it's, literally, not worth it. Even if a whole tour is generating say $5m, if a show takes even $10,000 off the final intake the promoter won't do it. Their job is to make the most money for the artist and in turn themselves.

    You can argue about "dignity" and "doing it for the fans" - one of the reasons I fell in love with this band - but those days are long gone. There are rare examples - eg. 1995 Adelaide show (after all costs were taken in to account they ended up making basically nothing) - but as we know, it's not 1995.

    Ed isn't playing NZ or Perth not because he doesn't like the locations. He's not playing them because, at the moment, and for the times and dates Ed had available, it wasn't financially feasable and the promoter is just doing their job. Not saying I agree, but that's the most likely explanation.

    In the end I hope Ed sees the petitions and plays both NZ and Perth.

    See my genius idea in the other thread about checking with NZ promoters since Chugg doens't care.

    Also I met you at the Tower Music midnight opening. You did good things. I remember that shit about Vector too but i thought that was in 2007?
