Johnny Drama Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Thanks dear for the useful advice. If your heading down to the bottom where the orchestral pit is gold or silver doesn't make a difference but the problem is that I need 3 tickets and the stupid system is only allowing me 2 at most.

Redhead74 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 It's a fucking whacko website. I noticed a similar problem. Keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I can get silver x 3. Is Think About You around? I wanted to be 100% if I can run down to the mosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhead74 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Get it while you can. It's a temperamental website. Only gives you 10 minutes and you have to register as well (if you haven't already). I had a few issues and luckily I was able to rebook the exact same seats as I originally was trying to get.

Because I tried getting gold and there was a single ticket in the box. I gotta be honest though these tickets are a fucking rip off. 195 bucks for Axl's Gnr? I got Soundwave for less, and Metallica is gonna be doing a stand alone show length set there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Drama Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Well I.remember seeing alot of empty seats with Soundgarden up the back of the seated area....I'd be guessing coming early would be the best solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the last time I was anywhere near the front of the stage at a rock show was Mötley Crüe in 1989 and I got crushed and passed out. I'm in the boxes and will be happy to watch the show from there. I don't think it's a rip off. I've never seen them live before so I'd probably pay anything given that this will possibly be the last chance I will get to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I think I deserve to splash out & spoil myself, even if it means getting some work during the year to top up the bank account. Might never get the chance to see gnr again.

Screamin' Demon Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 This might sound like a dumb question but beats making a dumb mistake, if I want floor with a chance at the front, that is General Admission right?

As that's what I see on Showbiz.Most of the venues have general admission which is at the front of the stage behind the barriers, however in Melbourne the seating is fixed so the general admission is behind the seats on the lawn. I would check the venue seating of the venue you are planning to go to just to make sure.Hope that helps and no, it's not a dumb question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock4eva Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 What is a platinum ticket consist of?Just did a dummy buy and it says seats to be allocated and they offer a dinner package which I said no to. So it doesn't really tell you - maybe check Newcastle venue to find out but the tickets are expensive which must mean close to stage.Sorry can't help more.

I'd rather pay the $18 extra to ensure a seat close to stage than to wait & end up on the grass with binoculars like I usually do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
