AC/DC UK Tour
« on: October 17, 2008, 05:04:34 PM »
Surprised noone's mentioned this yet.

Me and the missus were both online at 10am, ready for the AC/DC ticket sales to open. Ten minutes of web server time outs later they're all gone   :(

Tried all three UK venues and Dublin too, but they're all sold out.

Of course, there are the fleecing b*stards on eBay who seem to got their greedy mits on some - but they're charging close to £300 for a pair of tickets.

Anyone have any success?

i've given up on all these concerts.  these tickets cost a fortune BEFORE the touts got a hold of them. always amazes me how there's ALWAYS a pre-sale for several days before general release. they always sell out immediately, yet these people ALWAYS get theirs.  they're usually up on ebay even before the official on-sale time. i'm sick of it, there's obviously underhand goings on.  that's before considering that the tickets are hugely overpriced to start with. the Dublin tickets were €67.70, plus whatever ludicrous fee ticketmaster finds it in it's empty black heart to add.

last time i saw AC/DC the tickets were £15.

I didn't even bother trying to get some.  I knew what it would be like, plus I haven't got £100+ at the moment for a pair of tickets with a booking fee, postage, insurance etc.

When they announce another Manchester date I may try and get tickets if I have the cash, but I'm not that bothered about spending a big lump of wedge to see a band way past their prime......

I tried with no luck
My mate text me this afternoon out of the blue and said he bought me one.
I'm of to the gig in Manchester with standing (jumping/bounding) tickets.
April seems a long way off though :(

Got my two tickets this morning for the O2; seems like more of lottery i guess. We were online at 10 as well and had the usuall "internet down" issues.  Wouldnt usually fork out that much for any band but i havent seem them live before and you just never know if they'll tour again.

my only hope is that either a mate has a spare ticket or that they play Wacken Open Air.

I didn't bother either. I would have loved to have seen them again but I'll live. Anyway I have Priest to look forward to in Feb, so...

I'm still in que for tickets here in Holland. After 45 minutes I had 4/5ths of the waiting bar filled and the it kicked me back. Now I'm another 45 minutes further and haven't even reached 1/4 of the time bar.

A mate of mine is trying too. However gets 'em first calls the other. He hasn't called yet.

Ticketmaster is evil and must die! :shock:

I hope they do a second show.

Geez that's alotta money! I paid 68 Euros per ticket. There was a maximum of two. It's been 2 1/2 hours of computer hell to get them.

Got the CD too today. It's good.

there is a two-week gap in their schedule when they hit the UK - word round the campfire is that more UK dates are to be released.
