Selling-out

[dryfter]

I'm not paying $200 to see Opeth in Melbourne (going rate on ebay). I should have bought tickets earlier :/
Also, apparently Victoria's anti-scalping law is aimed at sporting events, not so much general concerts. Damn :(
Meh. if you can sell out a venue months in advance, surely you should consider playing two sets, or getting a larger venue? (eg. like the Ladytron gig.. original tickets sold out in 48 hours).
Oh well. Have two other gigs lined up that haven't sold out yet at least.

That's a pity... I've not seen them before, so made sure not to miss them this time. I have a history of being at home or on holidays while epic metal is being played in my home town.

By the looks of it, tickets are still available for $65 in Adelaide. If you can somehow score a return flight for $130 or less, it might actually be cheaper to see them here! *g*

heh. I was thinking of just buying a live DVD and watching it from the comfort of my couch :)
I mean.. no queuing in the cold.. better sound.. no dealing with wankers trying to mosh into me.. no trying to look over the top of 7 foot tall guys with huge hair.. and decent, well-priced beer.

On second thoughts, what am I waiting for? I don't even have to wait until the end of September :)
