Just like to comment from Australia.
When tickets went on sale last year in the presale before public tickets, I purchased a ticket through John's site here and have never done or purchased anything before on line. I did the right thing step by step, used the special password of "scarecrow", gave my credit card details etc, and got a ticket right up front 4th row but on the side and I thought great. I have seen John many times in Australia when he was younger and I was in my early teens, now I'm  51yo. I waited and waited and waited for my ticket, NOTHING. So for a whole month and half tried desperately to get hold of ticketek in Australia, but they never answered their phones. Only just 3wks ago I got through and found out ticketek had stuffed up, so again I had to purchase another ticket but unfortunately I could not get my same seat so I have now got another ticket, but it right down the back of rod laver arena, I am thoroughly disappointed in ticketek, with my eyes not like they used to be from diabetes, and a cataract growing on one of my eyes, I will b wearing my glasses to see if I can see John from back area.
I just wish I had my same first ticket. On top of that I have to drive 2half hours to rod laver arena, as I live in regional Victoria (used to live in Melbourne).
I'm hoping I'm able to afford a t shirt or top with programme now.
I've had my vent and story, so hope no one else has problems buying tickets through ticketek in Australia.
If there are any other people up my way in regional Victoria that are going to concert, please let me know and we can convoy down the highway and listen to John on our cds. I know years ago there used to be buses booked from far away places to take concert goers to rod laver arena, but no more.
Hopefully see some of you other concert goers on the night.
