    There doesn't appear to be any interest in the General sale. I guess everybody scored there tickets in the pre and priority sales! I say... Good show old chaps ;)

    Stalls and boxes are the best. Circle is in the back.

    Guys if you missed out, keep refreshing for a while at least. Tickets will become available in small clusters as people drop out. At least that's what happened with the pre-sales...

    ReplyDelete

    Note that sometimes people don't go through with their transaction, so tickets might become sporadically available over the next 20 minutes

  74. ml68May 11, 2011 at 7:08 PM

    grinderman, if you're still reading this... how does ticket collection work? I'm just a bit concerned that we can only pick them up 1 hour before the gig. if upwards of several hundred people all picking up tix and we have to be in before they shut the doors for filming?

    is it possible to get tix well before the gig (like a few hours before?)

  80. IrishcureMay 11, 2011 at 7:21 PM

    Diane,

    Call the switchboard and tell them you got cut off on the site while it was taking your card details. She will transfer you to bookings and you go straight onto the queue from there.
    I was waiting about 15 mins in the queue but they had my order so fingers crossed you have a happy outcome like I did.

    ReplyDelete
  81. IrishcureMay 11, 2011 at 7:23 PM

    @ Never Enough yeah it was awful especially since I have flights and all booked and not knowing if I had the ticket for the gig.
    Its a big relief I can sleep sound tonight (which I should get to now its almost 1:30am and I have a call at 7am :-( )
    Hope we all get tickets thanks again to Craig hes a superstar.

  82. xchrissyxMay 11, 2011 at 7:24 PM

    as far as picking up it says this in the email from SOH. i get in on that monday and am going to get mine then.

    The Sydney Opera House Box Office is open 9am - 8.30pm Monday - Saturday, and 2 hours prior to scheduled performances on Sundays.

    Pre-paid tickets can be collected at the main Sydney Opera House Box Office during these hours.

    ReplyDelete
  83. ml68May 11, 2011 at 7:27 PM

    ok, thanks for that xchrissyx...I got the impression they could only get picked up on the evening of the performance one hour before the gig, which seemed crazy!

    Im flying in on the day of the gig so a bit nervous about getting them on time obviously...

    thanks!
