Confirmed: Deep Purple in Oz in April

[Spruce Goose]

I can finally shed more light on the DEEP PURPLE OZ 2004

DP are doing Brisbane/Convention Cent. 17/4 - Sydney/Lyric 20/4 - Melb./Regent 24/4. More to be added if sold out I believe (except Brissy...one and only)...

NO ADELAIDE - NO PERTH

Billy Thorpe and band (not Aztecs) are special guests
+ supported by Mandrake

They will NOT be doing "MachineHead" in it's entirety as they have in the USA

 

[Spiff]

Ooh, Convention Centre instead of QPAC. I suggested that venue a while ago, so it's good to see they've listened to me.

Methinks I'll stay the night at Rydges as well, save me having to wait for an hour for a cab again.

When do tickets go on sale, Sprucey?

 

[Spruce Goose]

34th of Smarch.

Lousy Smarch Weather
Do not touch Willy -- Good advice

 

[Spruce Goose]

Just found out Tix go on sale 15th March @ Ticketkekekekekekeek

 

[Spiff]

Woo to the hoo! Might actually have money by then - probably not though.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Probably Not =

 

[Spruce Goose]

How much do these sorts of shows go for? I have never been to the Lyric theater at Star City. You reckon it will be as expensive as if they played at the Ent Cent?

 

[Spiff]

Erm... not sure. I saw Cold Chisel at the Convention Centre and it was like $100 or so, but then I think Evanescence (who I didn't see) were like $80 or so. I'm leaning towards $80 because its not like they tour with a complex set like the expensive bands do. Deep Purple just have amps and a pretty backdrop.

 

[Crabby]

I shall most likely be in attendance.Yay.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Well thank fuck for that

 

[Goreripper]

 

[Ralphe]

Deep Purple in a small room.hell yes!!

 

[Spruce Goose]

There were some full colour ads in the sydney newspapers on the weekend for the tour. I guess that means that it is confirmed.

It is also on the ticketek websiter

 

[Spruce Goose]

Bad News Spiffooooo...

A Reserve Tix are.... Wait for it.... $149

B Reserve Tix are close to $100.. Cant remember exactly. But I hear that A Reserve takes up about 80% of the seating, so B Reserve would be shithouse. Apparently there is a reasonable explanation for the high costs.

 

[The Amazer]

and people had a go at Metallica's prices ;D

*fanboy alert*

[Spiff]

OK. I'm not gonna go see Deep Purple then. Seen em twice already so that's enough for me, considering they're not listening to their fans and replacing Gillan and Glover with Coverdale and Hughes.

 

[Winmar]

Fark me dead. I guess prices would be similar in Melb then. Shit, wish I saw them last time. Would have been much cheaper then.

What the fuck is it with ticket prices these days? It wasn't like this two years ago.
