Melbourne Show sold out already!

wow that's quite an effort from U2 i'm sure they won new fans just with that alone. i have a good feeling for you guys, hopefully they dont ignore all the efforts..

Well still no news this morning, I hope whatever the news is we get it quickly as I want to resume normal life after doing nothing but tickets these last couple of weeks

I agree, it wont be the circle set up if they come here, and I dont think there is any way they are going to do another show post 18th, so will have to fit in around the other shows.

BJ know they are popular here and can sell out shows, I think its just a time issue. Whats crazy is the NZ shows, I dont know why they are bothering with them - yes I know good for the NZ fans, but they might as well have just done more aussie shows. Right now for NZ you can still get tickets for the centre A blocks. Christchurch was slow selling last time too, so much so that I gave away a 4th row ticket to the show as I couldn't sell it and I mean I tried everything to sell it. I also ended up going to Christchurch after all and managed to get 3rd row centre with some friends as some people didnt arrive till after the show had started.

I didn't really think there was much hope of a show in Adelaide, but now I am being cautiously excited even if I might not be able to afford a ticket now lol

I read a letter in the paper from a guy who wanted to get tickets. He said he went on Ticketmaster at 9am yesterday but the tickets were already gone. He didn't know there was a presale, and questioned why say the tickets were on sale when there weren't any?

I feel sorry for the poor bastard.

Its crazy! So unfair. The guy from the ticketmaster outlet here said that there were like 2 areas released for them to sell which was only silver, and you couldnt get more than 2 tickets. So i got them, but when i discovered there were GA tickets available today i got them also and sold my 2 silver ones to a friend for the price i paid. I dont think many people know about the GA tickets cos they are still available!

GA tickets are still selling? I might tell my mate, she wants to see them, and I'd love to take her along with me.

Yep, still available. Are you going to be in GA?

I heard tons of scalpers have bought tickets and selling them on ebay
EBAy Australia is full of Bon Jovi tkts

Nope, Diamond Arena. I was a lucky one!

It would figure the scalpers will be selling the tickets. It's what they always do whenever there's a concert. They'll do whatever they can to make money. I don't see a problem with it - it's no different to buying something at a garage sale then selling it for double the price at the market.

You might feel differently if you were shut out of the show.

Yeah, that is true, but I look at scalping in the way that I said - it's perfectly legal to buy something at a garage sale, and bargain with the owner to get it as cheap as possible, then sell it for double the price at the market. The buyer doesn't tell the owner what the item is really worth, and the owner may be shocked when they find out.

If it is legal to do one, it should be legal to do the other, regardless. You cannot say one can be legal and another cannot, you have to be consistant.

Now, another issue about one of the shows - I read in the paper the other day about a wheelchair bound woman who cannot get a seat because the stadium doesn't cater for wheelchairs. She will be taken in and put at the end of one of the aisles, but she cant get any closer than that. She's a bit peeved off.

I can understand that. If I was in a wheelchair and had the money to pay for a decent seat, I'd want to see them close up as well. Apparently, none of the set ups for their concerts cater for wheelchairs. Might be something Jon could think about.
