After the initial round of tickets for the Sydney and Gold Coast Big
Day Out shows completely sold out, organisers have announced a ballot
system.
The idea is that from now until the 25th December, 500 tickets will be made available randomly via the Big Day Out website. Tickets will be limited to 4 per person and drawn at 9pm each Thursday, beginning on the 23rd of October. Here's how you register for the ballot:
Registering for the ballot
* Registrations will open at 9am EST Thursday 16th 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.Tickets for Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Auckland go on sale tomorrow morning. Chances are of course that the ballot system will go into action once they inevitably sell out. There are more details at
bigdayout.com.
