    Sorry if this is a repeat, but here's the response I received from SOH when I asked about transferring the name to someone you are selling to:

    Yes it is possible to arrange for someone else to collect the tickets. Simply let us know the name of the person and as long as they have their own photo identification they can come to the Box Office counter 45 -30 minutes before the performance and collect the tickets.

    So no worries on that.

    Desperately looking for 4 tickets - or 2 lots of 2, though at this stage will take just 2? I had my family split into 1 at the opera house, 1 at the box office, 1 online and 1 on the phone with no luck! Thanks.

    I was at the opera house today and tix went so quick, so if anyone could help,......

    Also, thank you to all who are selling tix for face value, i really respect that, this is a concert for fans, not for scalpers to make money.

    I saw a guy in the line who was buying 4 tix , just to sell 2 on ebay at an inflated price, what an ass.

    This is what I got from SOH with regards someone other than the purchaser picking up the tickets from the opera house.

    "In order to make this change we will require a scanned copy of the front and back of the credit card used in the purchase, as well a signed statement authorising the collection of the tickets by your son, Tony. If possible, could you please fax this back to (+61) 02 9251 3940 or scan it and send to boxoffice@sydneyoperahouse.com."

    and now for the next bit, anyone recommending any decent hotels within staggering distance of the opera house and not costing the price of a scalped ticket? not asking for much really...maybe Ill just stay up all night and save up on that cost...

    ml there are a bunch of fans staying at the Holiday Inn Old Town Sydney - it's about $200 a night but with a roommate or three that can be affordable.

    I have 2 tickets for the 1st June night ($139), that I would like to SWAP for 2 tickets on the 31st May night.

    I am happy to swap for tickets of lesser value, or pay the extra for tickets of greater value.

    I may be unable to attend the 1st June night due to birthday commitments on the 2nd (its my 18th! very sad...)

    I agree with RTA, for as many times as i've seen and met The Cure, it's impossible to come up with 1500 bucks to go on the fly..But I can't wait to see them in America and maybe Hawaii. To all that go, please, please, mosh some during the first set, it is a punk album. Cure fans will mosh if you push a little, and nicely :)

    RH Factor: "To all that go, please, please, mosh some during the first set, it is a punk album."

    I was thinking about this the other day, the venue is seating only, so don't see how this would be possible?
    Still wondering if people will sit or stand? Can't imagine sitting for the whole show. Hoping everyone (at least in the Stalls area) will stand. Could imagine people in the platform boxes sitting (because it is elevated, leaning over the stage). Anyone have any thoughts on this?

    ReplyDelete
  28. RLMMay 17, 2011 at 9:59 PM

    if nothing else it would be pretty uncomfortable standing up - the seating in the stalls is fairly tight, enough to pretty much prohibit dancing i would think

    personally i would recommend that folks sit down, give security an easy night, enjoy the fact that everyone in the venue is gonna have amazing sightlines, bathe in the (hopefully) pristine sound and allow yourself to get completely lost in the music in a way that might not be possible in most of the venues the cure play

    i'm no great fan of sitting down at rock concerts but i am inclined to treat this one a little differently

  29. altr2eliseMay 18, 2011 at 8:46 AM

    SOH have indicated to me that the majority rules... if only a handful of people stand, then they will be asked to sit - but if the majority stands... then on our feet we will be (woohoo).
    I can't imagine that the band will want us sitting and politely clapping between songs.... especially for the video.

    ReplyDelete
  30. RH factorMay 18, 2011 at 9:08 PM

    Man, there's one thing i can't stand and that's a boring audience. The audience makes the band. The Cure played JSET at Coachella because we were nuts and dancing and moshing even though the sound was cut. This is on DVD, they need a few people to rush the stage, jump around. Remember the tall bald guy moshing back and forth in The Cure in Orange? Trust me, they need it. I saw a bunch of old farts sitting around during a Heart concert on TV. It can't be like that with The Cure. They are youth. You have to shout and commit chaos as a fan. If i'm wrong, I don't know the Cure. Robert seemed pretty happy to see all of us drunks being kooky in the front row. Mosh!!!....but not during Faith :).

  31. altr2eliseMay 18, 2011 at 11:09 PM

    I'm not sure that 'moshing' will be possible in a fully seated venue, but I definitely agree that we should be on our feet and giving back to the boys as much as they are giving us!

    ReplyDelete
  32. IrishcureMay 19, 2011 at 12:52 AM

    Look its going to be almost impossible to just sit there and listen but at the same time I think the moshing part will be out with the seats. It would be great if we could but I really cant see it happening and even if we all can stand we will be limited in how much movement we will have.

    Im sure that sound wise this is probably one of the best venues in the world but not sure if it will work for a DVD from a crowd perspective but I could be wrong.

    Cant wait to meet some of you on the night.

    All my best

    Why is the show at a place where you have to sit down the whole time? How can you contain yourself during any of the songs?
    I know it is a famous place and stunning , but not the best place by far.

  35. RLMMay 21, 2011 at 2:48 AM

    wow - i'm deeply grateful they're playing at such an amazing venue - apart from it being visually stunning and aurally excellent, you should see the place they've played their last 7 sydney dates - a massive concrete barn with ZERO atmosphere and terrible acoustics - the fact that they're playing at the concert hall of the opera house is a MIRACLE!

    Hi everyone. I have a spare ticket to the Wed Reflections concert, and I would like to try to do something that hopefully will be a win-win.

    By way of introduction I've been a Cure fan since the early 80's - my favourite albums are probably Kiss Me and Disintegration, but they've all been meaningful to me at different points in my life. Last time I saw them was in 2007 - queued up and was pretty much front and centre at Rod Laver. Great night. (Sigh.)

    The company I work for provides financial support for a number of orphanages in Cambodia (Sunrise Childrens Villages, www.scv.org.au). A number of my fellow employees and myself are aiming to raise $150,000 for a new project to care for and educate Cambodian children with HIV/AIDS.

    To this end, I would like to offer my extra ticket (Circle V) for sale to support our fund-raising effort. I've had some contact with Craig who's happy to help promote this cause on COF. Hopefully this is a welcome chance for a well-off Cure fan to see a unique show and at the same time contribute towards a project that will make a huge difference to kids that would otherwise have a bleak prospect in life.

    I'm more than happy to establish my bonafides to Craig through other people involved in this fund-raising initiative at my company HQ, if anyone is skeptical about my motives. Any payment made would be made directly through a secure fund-raising page.

    As an added incentive I'm willing to offer a premium seat in Circle B that I was planning to use if someone is feeling particularly generous :)

    Hope someone can make a generous offer to help some of the most disadvantaged kids in our region.

    Cheers,
    Muntz

  38. CraigMay 22, 2011 at 9:46 AM

    Hi Muntz,

    Thank you! How should interested bidders contact you? Through email, or by posting here? Is there a minimum bid?

  39. muntzMay 22, 2011 at 8:20 PM

    Thx Craig :) Any queries or bids should be sent to the following email address: tallguywholikesstuff at hotmail dot com.

    Please note only one ticket is available: Circle V ($139) but I will swap this for my own middle of Circle B seat ($180) if someone makes a very generous bid.

    Cheers, muntz

    Face value, $180 (+bf of a couple of bucks that we split 4 ways) row P on the left nearest circle box v.

    We're all driving / flying in from interstate, so we'll be meeting up before the concert

    Email me on 7vbm5s3evh@snkmail.com if you are keen to buy the ticket and we'll negotiate from there.

    It's hard to say whether or not there will be clips on YouTube or not, as the Sydney Opera House is said to be pretty strict about not allowing cameras and phones to be used during events that are being filmed.

    I'm sure someone will get something, but we will just have to wait and see if security is as tight as they are saying it might be.

  53. XuanMay 30, 2011 at 9:43 PM

    I went to the Opera house booth and asked if some tickets would possibly released. He said often, they still hold a couple of seats and release them during the day or possibly right before the show. So for anyone who are in Sydney, any hopes of getting tickets is to keep checking the front booth (dread). If the answer is it's still sold out, then come back again (rinse repeat).

    Can't wait for them to play "So What". Which PO Box was that again to order?
