Heres what USA Ticketmaster is running here in the states.

So far I have not seen it on TV here.

YEEEEEEES. i have only seen one ad, the other night
but i was like hmmm that looks new.
not like when they were using the DANCE clips to promo SYW/unleashed.

i have a Q though, how come there are no Mick M&Gs in Australia?
Are they normally announced later? or are we not good enough/too crazy for a M&G?

Not Oz, but going to see the band on Dec 6th with Dodfather in Auckland!

The Australian concert ads are different to the USA one and definitely feature professionally shot new footage.

I asked the website, and got a useless reply saying they didn't have any information, to keep checking the website, and HAVE A NICE DAY!

Then they had the cheek to send a follow up survey asking me to rate my experience. They're lucky I didn't fill out the survey.

Wasn't that ticket buying process a real ordeal? I was trying to get myself all prepared from about 8.30am, and the Ticketek site wouldn't let people log in to their accounts; and then 9am ticks over, and the Live Nation link isn't up.

After all that, I think I was there for the Brisbane tickets pretty much right as they went on sale, and the best I could pull up was Row 30. I bought them, because I have an itchy trigger finger, but I will keep looking. I am really starting to wonder though how many tickets in Rows 1 to 5 are even being sold at the normal price, and not bundled into these awful packages. If a second Brisbane show comes up, I think I could almost be tempted by a GYOW package, but the Dreams package is just way out of my budget this year, and the Rumours package is a total why would you bother for me - $200 to sit in Row 30, or $400 to possibly sit not much further ahead in Row 20 or, worse still, in the lower circle.

Well, thank you for sharing that anyway - I was going to ask them the same, but at least I know not to bother now!

It is a real shame there don't seem to be any plans to do the meet and greets here - I would've snapped two of them up in a heartbeat.

Such an adorable post that hits close to home. Thank you for sharing. I think buying concert tickets is stressful for all. It's like buying a bag of weed. You know you're going to get some but you worry how good it is going to be.

Hell YEAH we are!! This is possible because I'm moving from Scotland to Wellington, NZ at the end of July - not long now!

!!!!!!!!!!

Kind of going off topic, but how exciting for you, Dodfather! Moving to another country is an absolute thrill. Are you from Scotland originally, or is being an expatriate old hat to you by now?

I almost feel compelled to start an expat thread. How many of us are there on here? *strokes chin*

Yeah I'm Scottish. I've been meaning to make the move for a few years but last year I finally decided to do it!

Brilliant decision. British people always seem to be really taken with New Zealand, which is something I've found very interesting, especially since so many Kiwis seem inclined to leave it.

I have several former colleagues that have emigrated there and haven't looked back. I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time.

Tickets for both shows go on general release at 9am, June 13.

yes, I would have lashed out $500ish for a meet and greet and a hassle-free decent seat.

I also told Mick's site that they didn't have the NZ show(s) listed, but they didn't respond to that - and haven't bothered to add the shows.

I've just been having a look at Brisbane tickets again (still need my second lot of two, but I think I'll get better seats on Tuesday). The pre-sale allocation for the front row packages is exhausted (there were probably only like 2 for sale anyway), but I can get a block of 10 tickets in the 3rd row in the next package down. Plenty still available for Melbourne when I looked too. Point is, I think there's a good chance a lot of these tickets will drop later on - will just have to keep an eye out.
