Dude, if you're worried about revealing your age then perhaps putting the year you were born in your username isn't such a smart idea? And not a 'dude...I am a 'lady'(said like they say i in Little Britain) And no 74 is not my birth year: that is a false assumption....but glad that worked as thats the idea....to make people think thats the year I was born

My son was 7 when it took him in 2006 will be 11 this time round. My other boy was 2 1/2 which was too young last time but this time he's 6 1/2 and will be coming too.

I got in right on opening, secured two RZ tickets for Brisbane, and then before i could complete the transaction Ticketek unceremoniously timed me out. *sigh*

You should call them, sometimes it has processed enough to secure the tickets.

Totally crashed now ....... nothing. 

 

At least this gave the impression of waiting, rather than hopeless

There has to be a fair chance of extra dates ... some ticket types are already getting down to single seat allocations in Brissy.

I can't believe the Sydney show has not sold out yet, I'm able to get into Ticketek site and pick seats, review them, remove them and go back and pick others and it's all relatively quick.

 

Although I did find if I picked say 4 P2 I couldn't then add say 4 GA for a total of 8 tickets.

 

It appears you had to pick 8 of the same type via online.
