After the debacle of trying to get tickets to Wembley, I have finally succeeded with Melbourne.

Fortunately I won a spot on the pre-sale ballot, but the "people in front of you" was still over 10,000 when I joined the queue.

I last saw them in Wellington when Liam stormed off in a strop and Noel had to sing the rest of the songs.

I see no concert in Brisbane ... wonder if its because Liam ended up in a court room on an assault charge during the last tour.

I can't see them making it through to this side of the world - they'll implode long before, in my opinion.

Total of AU $305 for one standing at the front. The queues were tame in comparison to UK. There I tried for 5 hours with no success. Here it was all sorted in 28 minutes according to the time on the confirmation email.

At least they did not have the dynamic pricing!

They were always my favourite as a teenager. When I went traveling in 2009 after I finished Uni I finally got to see them live in what ended up being their final Wembley show a few weeks before the split.

Planning a UK trip next year so I tried for Wembley. Sat in the queue for 6 hours then the only tickets that came up were £500.
Got a presale code for Sydney so got in the waiting room half an hour before it went on sale then got called into a meeting I couldn't get out of at 4 when it opened. Left it open on my phone hoping not to miss my spot and got out of the meeting at 4.30 to find it on the ticket selection page and managed to get one of the cheaper ones. Done and dusted in 5 minutes from getting back to my phone. Don't know exactly what time I got in. Having my brother to stay with in Sydney makes it viable to go there for something like this. Hopefully the flight prices don't get jacked up to something ludicrous.

It may all implode once they actually have to spend time together but they must have had to sign all sorts of contracts committing to it.

I saw them in the UK at their 90's prime and I have to say, it was a great drunken singalong gig.

I just don't know that I would enjoy them as much these days - notwithstanding the fact that they are likely going to kill each other on tour

Congrats

I jumped on the presale within seconds of it going live and was 15,000th for Sydney. By the time I got after 37mins i clicked on to get standing tickets but it kept saying too many tickets held (or words to that effect). I only had 4. Tried clearing everything and rebooking then the screen kicked me out. By the time i got back on all standing tickets were gone except overpriced VIP. Tried the sat night as well but no standing left and all seating was miles away. V disappointed.

How did Melbourne go for anyone who went?

I'm hopping over the ditch to Sydney for this Saturday's show. On my post Uni travels in 2009 I managed to go to what turned out to be their final Wembley Stadium show a couple of weeks before they imploded and split. Wouldn't have thought I'd be seeing them again in 2025.
