Last week heralded the return of the BIG DAY OUT, Australia?s biggest touring festival on the musical calendar. This week we?ve received a warm welcome back from music fans with the first release of tickets to the SYDNEY BIG DAY OUT to be held on Friday 25th January 2008, at Sydney Showground SOLD OUT this morning.
Since going on sale today, 45,000 tickets to the SYDNEY BIG DAY OUT have been snapped up at lightning speed by music fans.
Apart from the lack of sleep overnight from the long delays in the BDO ticket fulfillment website, it has been a reasonably smooth process considering the new reduced ticket limit. Ticketmaster sold out their 20,000 ticket allocation in less than five minutes, setting a new benchmark for any event in the country.
As previously announced, the final 10,000 tickets will be made available for purchase through an online ticket ballot via the Big Day Out website, www.bigdayout.com.
Here are the vital stats
Each week 1000 tickets for the 2008 Sydney BDO will be made available on our website via an online randomly drawn ballot.
The ballot will be drawn at 9pm EST Thursday each week, beginning Thursday 25th October and finishing Thursday 27th December.
The weekly ballot ticket limit is 2 tickets per person.
As the Sydney Big Day Out has a strict limit of 2 tickets per person, if you have previously bought Big Day Out tickets to the Sydney event and if upon entering into the ballot you surpass the 2 ticket limit, no tickets will be allocated to you. This will be strictly adhered to.
