Dream Theater NZ/Australia 2009

Haha shit, after not coming here forever, they're coming twice in under two years. Not complaining. :) Hmmm that might muck up my travel plans. With any luck they'll play in Jakarta too. They're massive in Indonesia.
 
Any idea what the new dates will be? I'm looking at booking some flights around the time of the tour.
 
CONFIRMED DATES -

01/12/2009 Civic Theatre - Auckland
03/12/2009 Convention Centre - Brisbane
05/12/2009 Hordern Pavilion - Sydney
07/12/2009 Palais Theatre - Melbourne

I just bought 2x General Admission tix to the Hordern in Sydney.
It looks as though the venue will be setup for General Admission mode but when I bought the tix it didn't give me the option of selecting if I want to be in the Seated area or the Standing area.
Does anyone know how you make sure to get into the seated section at the back? I know for some shows I have actually had reserved seats in the back section....
Here is the map taken from the ticketek website
