Dream Theater Oz tour

[Spiff]

See, that's where I was confused. For some reason I thought those nights were "An Evening With...".

Good traffic your talking about 35 mins drive on the freeway from surfers.

it only takes 35mins from brisbane to surfers now?

In good traffic

In good traffic

Wow - I'm sure it used to take an hour or so. Or maybe I just don't remember properly

 

[salty]

The original dates for Perth and Adelaide were wrong.

VIP packages went on sale today. Sydney is sold out already. www.ozprog.com for details.

 

[Spiff]

I'm not really into meeting famous people (it would be a wasted opportunity because I wouldn't know what to say and stuff). /me passes.

 

[salty]

That's alright because Melb, Syd and Bris VIP packages sold out already

 

[Icarus]

For $350 you'd want Portnoy to suck your dick or something.

 

[Hanso]

Bit pricey even for oral sex !

 

[Winmar]

Was it Sprucey who wanted a bit of Portnoy love? Now's the big chance!

Anyone get tix?

Giggity.

Got two general admission tickets for Sydney... was going to do Brisbane as well, just can't afford it

Would have prefered seats for the Sydney show but no matter how many times I tried, we kept getting really shitty ones. So either alot where already reserved or 1000 people logged onto ticketek.com.au this morning trying to get those same seats

 

[Spiff]

I ain't checked yet, just booked tickets for Foo Fighters last night so I might give it 24 hours before I buy more.

FUCK...
They better at least do a signing at Utopia or something... or I'll... I'll...

 

[Celestial-Todd]

They won't... it invalidates half the reason for the premium tickets otherwise

 

[salty]

They might. The VIP tickets are sold as part of their merch deal as far as I'm aware, at least they used to be. The company that does their tshirts and all that also does the VIP meet and greet packages, it's all the same company at the top level. Every fan story from tours in the US and EU talks about how easy it is to meet the guys after the show by waiting near the tour bus. They pretty much always come out and spend some time with fans outside and sign shit, take photos when they can etc.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Which of course pissed off everyone who spent big bucks to get the premium tickets

 

[chrisvp]

Am I the only one here who's pissed that the tickets are expensive and thinks this premium ticket bullshit where you get to meet the band is ludicrous?
Truly , why cant they do an instore and why are the tickets so expensive for them to even play festering hall in Victoria.
Not terribly happy about it , actually quite pissed about it.

The Melbourne gig happens to fall on the first day of the new school year for all Victorian students (and thus, teachers).
