Yeah. I'm trying to get some friends to buy my ticket on Friday because I won't be able to. Still considering going to the V Festival though, because I can't justify spending heaps going to see Duran Duran (and perhaps J&MC/QotSA) at their sideshows. So sick of missing Queens everytime they come out and I really love their latest album. Will feel band if I miss the Jesus and Mary Chain too.

Thought you'd rather be posting about the Air sideshow on Sun. April 6th, Sydney Opera House (tickets through ticketmaster) muy caro... $105.10 (pre-sales on sale now).

Yeah, I'd love to see them...but fuck that...

Honestly,

What the hell is up with these ridiculous ticket prices all of a sudden?

Our dollar isn't that bad at the moment that they need to be charging such exhuberant amounts to make up for the conversion.

I think it's more the distance + population thing...

I think it's more the distance + population thing...

I understand that but it wasn't that long ago when you could see an international artist for $60-$80 at somewhere like the Entertainment Centre. And that's when the dollar was low...
