Last week we announced the initial line up for Australia’s biggest touring festival, the BIG DAY OUT 2010. The stellar line up features some of the world’s hottest artists such as Muse, Lily Allen and Dizzee Rascal along with Australia’s perennial favourites Powderfinger, Eskimo Joe and Grinspoon to name but a few.
Following the trend of rapid ticket sales in SYDNEY yesterday, the first release of 50,000 tickets to the GOLD COAST BIG DAY OUT event to be held SUNDAY JANUARY 17th 2010 at GOLD COAST PARKLANDS have SOLD OUT in this morning.
We would like to advise Big Day Out fans who missed out that the final 5,000 tickets will be made available for purchase through an online ticket ballot via the Big Day Out website, www.bigdayout.com
Here’s what you need to know
Each week 500 tickets for the 2010 Gold Coast BDO will be made available on our website via an online randomly drawn ballot.
The ballot will be drawn at 9pm EST on the Thursday of each week, beginning Thursday 22nd October and finishing Thursday 24th December.
The weekly ballot ticket limit is 2 tickets per customer.
As the Gold Coast Big Day Out has a strict limit of 2 tickets per customer, if you have previously bought Big Day Out tickets to the Gold Coast 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.
Registering for the ballot
* Registrations will open at 9am EST Thursday 15th October.
* You will need to complete and submit the ballot registration page on the website.
* Your registration will only need to be completed once and will last for the duration of the balloting weeks.
If you are successful in the ballot
An email will be sent to you within 30 minutes of the ballot draw. This will provide details of how to complete the order, ie, pay for your tickets.
You will be given 5 days to pay for your ticket order (until 9pm EST on the following Tuesday after the ballot). If in this time you have not paid for your order, these tickets will be forfeited and put back into the next week’s ballot.
CONDITIONS OF SALE AND ADMISSION
Selling tickets for higher than the face value is a breach of the conditions of sale. In an effort to ensure that our tickets are available to genuine punters at the price we have set, every customer will need to read and agree to our Conditions of Sale and Admission before they can purchase tickets. These can be viewed on our website now. Tickets sold on auction sites may be declared invalid and the ticket holder may be refused entry. You have been warned.
Good luck.
