Fans fume over ticket troubles for AC/DC's highly anticipated Power Up Australian tour show at Optus Stadium
AC/DC fans were left fuming on Thursday after being hit with checkout troubles when attempting to purchase tickets for the rock legends' first Australian show in a decade. At 1pm, thousands of West Australian's descended on Ticketek's website in a bid to secure tickets to the band's Optus Stadium show on December 4. However, some fans were left empty handed at the checkout when they attempted to pay and were sent back to the virtual queue, while others claim the site crashed. 'What a disaster!! I got in quite quickly, finally got decent tickets and was on the screen to pay and then (it) booted me to the back of the queue,' one punter wrote on social media. Another user said: 'I finally got in, got my tickets went to pay and it wouldn't go through for some stupid reason. I'm so angry.' 'I had tickets & site crashed just when I hit pay,' a third person said. Tickets went on sale at staggered local times on Thursday, with Sydney from 9am followed by Brisbane at 11am, Melbourne at 1pm and Perth at 1pm (AWST). Ticketek Entertainment Group's Tim McGregor said the response from fans had been huge, but the website held up to demand. 'Sales have been fantastic and it's clear fans are pumped to see AC/DC back on Aussie stages,' he said. 'No surprises there with a band like this.' Ticketek urged customers to only purchase tickets from its website and warned against buying from third-party resellers. Prices for the coveted tickets started at $132 for B reserve seating, and went all the way up to $407 for Ultimate A reserve seating. AC/DC was last in Perth in November 2015 when they performed two high octane shows at Domain Stadium in Subiaco on their Rock or Bust tour. The legendary rockers will kick off their Power Up tour in November in Melbourne before heading to Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane. Original band member Angus Young will lead the charge, joined by longstanding vocalist Brian Johnson, Stevie Young on rhythm guitar, drummer Matt Laug, and bassist Chris Chaney. They will be joined by special guests Amyl and the Sniffers.
