[mknell]

The entertainment centre will have GA on the floor not seats

ok ticketmaster thanks

The place holds 13,000 people

[Packo]

where is the entertainment center at? are we having a meet up?

[Fliss]

Its at darling harbour/ near china town. Heaps of public transport.... i just wanna warn everyone i saw Limp bizkit there in '00 (yeah yeah hehe) and we went around the back to meet them (met wes borland) but we waited too long and got stranded as the trains STOP RUNNING at midnight or just before.

[Packo]

cool as. well i dont care about trains and ****.....i will camp there if i have to just to meet them and grab a photo. thanks for the map

[Fliss]

cool as. well i dont care about trains and ****.....i will camp there if i have to just to meet them and grab a photo. thanks for the map


hehe i feel the same way! <333333

[2live2breathe]

Hey! I'm definitely going to be there! Are there fairly good chances of getting a ticket from ringing up/going on the web at 9am on the 11th? And also, is there any chance we will get to meet the band after/before the show? SO excited. :D

[mknell]

Tho they are inside a fenced off area so its still near impossible to meet em in there

[through my EyEs]

how early is everyone getting there im going to get there very early and leave late how long do we think the concert will go for and about the tickets hopefully there is no other way to get tickets before the 11th because we will get the scraps if we dont know about it. personally i dont think we will get to meet amy and the guys because of security and since the bands popularity has risen, from my knowledge this place is going to be packed

[goddess-of_rock]

I'm So Ecstatic About Seeing Them Again. I Think I Waited In Line At The Hordern Pavilion For Almost 11 Hours! It Was Very Long, But Sooo Worth Every Hour Waiting. I Cant Wait To See Them!!! It's Gonna Be Fantastic...

[Fliss]

tghere is a gated off section at the back, the loading and unloading carpark, when we saw liump bizkit we ran around there and met wes borland so fingers crossed...


Hopefully they'll do a signing, maybe at utopia or something?!

[through my EyEs]

What is an Internet Presale?
Occasionally, some events will be available to purchase over the Internet in advance of the general public onsale. These presales frequently require a password that may be distributed by the venue, artist, team, or promoter of either the event or the presale, or distributed by Ticketmaster. Often, these passwords are distributed to exclusive members of clubs or certain other types of groups and cannot be offered to members of the public. Links may be published on the Event Information page at the time of presale. Ticketmaster charge-by-phone and Customer Service representatives usually cannot give out passwords. If an event is scheduled for presale and we are authorized to publish so in advance, the event page may list an "Internet Presale" date in the ticket onsale information. When entering your presale password into a promotional page, window or box in an email, please ensure you are entering it in the appropriate box: A presale password is not the same as your My Ticketmaster password.

Internet presales are usually sold from an allotment of seats, which may not reflect the same availability during the public onsale. Internet presales provide the advantage of exclusive purchasing windows in advance of the public onsale, which often results in less people competing for the pool of available seats. However, Internet presales may also have limited seating available in various areas - these presales are intended as advance purchasing windows and do not necessarily provide access to better seating. In fact, it is possible that you may be able to obtain tickets for better seats at the general public onsale than those that you purchase through a presale. We must remind you that Ticketmaster does not offer refunds or exchanges, so you will not be able to replace the tickets you obtain at a presale with other tickets that subsequently become available.

i found this can someone please tell me the password please i will be forever grateful and is the first gate the best entrance to the mosh pit if not what is the best entrance please reply asap thanks heaps in advance

[mknell]

there is no password
not for this one anyway
Best Entrance is Door 1 but u have to get that door first

[through my EyEs]

do i need to become a member or anything/any other details?

[adrian]

I guessed the p/w lol!

I'm lining up at about 9:00am (depends when I have to work for my new job)...what time you guys getting there? I suggest all evthread-ians go together...more chance of going backstage if we're in a group.

[2live2breathe]

adrian, are you seriously lining up from 9am til 8pm?? That is 11 hours of lining up. Are you crazy? lol. But then again if its a chance to get good floor spots and meeting Ev then hell yes! haha

No offence but thats pretty silly but each to their own i guess! If i waited that long i would be too buggered to even enjoy the concert!

I guess i just dont see the point, yeah get there early for sound check etc but 9am?!

[through my EyEs]

i got mine also that was so intense i nearly missed out i rang like 25 times i was so pissed i want to get down there at 9.00am also im so glad now all i have to do is wait, i got them on the internet they are being shipped by express, did everyone get theres like me.

I hope the hell we get to meet amy and the band.

[mknell]

Once everyone has their tix post what door you got

[Packo]

[mknell]

Nah its not unfortunately

[through my EyEs]

oh damn does this mean i may not get nearly front row what time did you get yours guys i got mine at around 5.30

[mknell]

Well it depends on how many ppl were buying tix

[through my EyEs]

[Packo]

dumb ****s

[through my EyEs]

im with u packo hopefully allnight

[adrian]

that is so sad bout those people on ebay.

The reason i'm getting there early is cause you can see where people enter/exit the stage at the back, i.e. a chance to meet Amy. Also, pretty much all the concerts i've seen there, they come out the stage exit afterwards to sign stuff e.t.c.

[mknell]

oh ok thanks mknell how long do we predict the concert will go for

somewhere between 11 & 12 I recon

[mknell]

Amy leaves the concerts pretty quick tho

Who have you met there, the only people that have every signed stuff there for me is the drummer & bass player from Incubus

[Fliss]

Actually i met wes borland there, in the bus carpark exit. There have been heaps of entertainers that exit and sign through that exit.

Hey Adrian... Thats cool and all but Amy will be in her hotel room at 8am... thats just really early!

Anyways.... bloody fools on ebay! lolz!

[adrian]

Yeah I met all the Idols there & my friends parents met John Farhnam

IF I am able to take a day off work, i'll prolly get in there at 9, then look around at Patty's markets (cause it's a saturday) for a couple of hours n start lining up at like 10:30 - 11:00.

[Absinthe]

I just bought GA tickets today and I'm starting to think that maybe I should've waited til tomorrow and got reserved seating instead. Just that the Entertainment Centre is much much bigger than the Hordern Pavillon where they performed last time, and I was lucky to get right at the front.

What are the chances of me pushing my way through hundreds of people to get as close as possible to the stage? unless I arrive very early... :p

[MissKittyFantastico]

IM FINALLY GOING TO SEE EV LIVE! Lol, and this is the concert Im going to. It is only a 6 hour bus trip from my home, so, I go up on the day before, find cheap accomodation there, cause it is near central station, where I get off the bus, and then I will go see Ev the next day! I am SO excited, not only is it the first time I get to see Evanescence live, it will also be my first concert, so, Im seriously excited!

Only 69 more days

[mknell]

I so hate the entertainment centre
You don't know what door they will open first & then once you are in there you have to all sit down in front of the barricade which really sux when its time for the show to start

[~xHannahx~]

yay! i'm going to this concert!!!!!! :)

damm this show is nowhere near sold out & there is heaps on here already
There are more than this too

[chainedchaos]

I so hate the entertainment centre
You don't know what door they will open first & then once you are in there you have to all sit down in front of the barricade which really sux when its time for the show to start

Sit in front of the barricade? Do you mean in the centre? on the floor in front of the stage? :confused: Why the hell do they make you do that?

[mknell]

Sit in front of the barricade? Do you mean in the centre? on the floor in front of the stage? :confused: Why the hell do they make you do that?

Like you know how barricades have a metal bottom bit?
Well what happens is you get in but u have to stand back from the barricade & sit on the floor till security sez so its really ****ing stupid

[through my EyEs]

what the hell is up with this sitting business and wouldnt they open gate 1 first what is the point of getting there early when we dont know what gate will open maybe protocols have changed hopefully,

this concert is going to go nutz

[chainedchaos]

Wow, thats weird. only time I've ever had to sit down was during a Christian band gig, where they read to us from the Bible.

How rough do you think the mosh will be? I was in the mosh for Seether, but I was right up against the barricade, and the crowd wasn't very big. I don't want to get injured, but I want to be close to the front ...

[mknell]

what the hell is up with this sitting business and wouldnt they open gate 1 first what is the point of getting there early when we dont know what gate will open maybe protocols have changed hopefully,

this concert is going to go nutz

Every concert i been to there they did it, example Metallica, Manson, Incubus, Pink, then also taste of chaos was the last one that did that & that was a couple of months ago, so yeah i don't think they changed it since then

[mknell]

Looks like Sydney GA is sold out
I was playing with the Ticketmaster site & it lets me choose reserved seats but when I try to do GA i get this message

There were no tickets available that matched your request

There are several things you can try:
Change the quantity of tickets you are requesting.
If you selected a specific seat section, try switching to "Best Available".
If you are unable to find tickets, be sure to check back often. As the date of the event nears, often times a limited number of tickets may be released.
If you entered a promotional code, check that the code is valid for the ticket price and criteria you selected.

[Packo]

wow all shows seem to be selling fast! It does suck you have to sit down before the barricade for a while. we had to do that in brisbane for slipknot. im so pumped!!!!! *sings*

[mknell]

I can't remember sitting at that one, but i remember the barrier breaking stupid security not listening to me

[Packo]

yeh i cant believe that didnt make it on the slipknot dvd
that was kick ass!!!! ahhaha

[mknell]

I would love to go to the Syndey concert. When will the tickets be going on sale? Is this their last tour date? Seen as though they won't be coming to South Africa anytime soon, I might as well take out a loan and fly over there to see them, haha! Will be worth it, seeing Ev in concert, and I've never been anywhere out of SA, so it will be great. Will be fantastic if I could meet you guys there! :)

Can you give me a link to that. Cos the only seating plan I've seen doesn't show a second barrier (Brisbane does). It also looks like its been drawn in paint :confused:

[through my EyEs]

elmeister i found out by ringing them that it dosent have a barrier anyway.
but heres the link http://www.sydentcent.com.au/index.cfm?s=content&p=dynamicpage&menu_id=100116i was freaking out earlier theres actually three set outs the entertainment centre can be organised into depending on the event and amount of people.
click on the seating plan you want to view.

are you going

[Packo]

wat are three set outs? huh?

Sydney is the last concert but almost sold out

I can't believe that's it almost all sold out! I didn't even think it was on sale yet! Where can I get the tickets?:eek:

Thanks! I went there, but they say that they have a problem, I must check back later. I really hope there are still some left, and that I can come up with the cash, lol. :p

[Shadow]

I have a question. Are we allowed to take digital camera's inside? I've never been to a concert before, so I'm not too sure. Also, I'm making plans to go, and was just wondering if we can all meet somewhere before the show?

[mknell]

Not sure they been indifferent there

[frozenaurora]

Hi, i'm new to the site, but i've been a fan of of the band for years and years! i absolutely love 'em!

i live in Sydney but bought tickets to the concert in Melbourne! i didn't know that Evanescence was going to be performing in Sydney, since silly old me only searched for the Tickettek site (should have checked here first eh?) instead of Ticket Master. i see that some of you are coming to Sydney from Melbourne. If anyone has GA tickets for Sydney and would like to swap with me (i have good GA tickets for the concert in Melbourne), please please send me a message! i would be saving a lot of money since i wouldn't have to fly down, and i don't know anyone in Melbourne!

Thanks! frozenaurora

Woo I'm going to the concert.

I'm a bit bummed though I missed out on the presale because I didn't have the password. if only i came on the forums more!

anyway i ended up getting reserved seats in section 9 row k... it could be better but it could be worse too.

i would REALLY like to meet at least someone from the band... from past experience does anybody know how long before the shows the bands arrive? it'd be awesome if we could all meet them.

[Packo]

they usually arrive midday/arvo for soundcheck, but you never know.....they could show up a minute before the show, lol!

You can also park at the exhibition center a few hundred meters down the road. Its $18.00 for the night if you enter after 5pm and its open 24 hours.

On topic....my bf bought me tickets (for him and i) as part of my birthday present. We got gate A, door 1.

Yeah but see the problem is they open different doors first every time.

[through my EyEs]

hey mknell and everyone else guess what i rung sydney entertainment centre and they go "every door and gate will be let in at the same time" ring if u dont believe me looks like me, jickity and packo will see everyone up the front.

Yeah they say that all the time, they e-mailed me about it, but like i said every time I been there they have opened different doors first

If you like I'll list em

Manson - I had door 1, they opened door 5 first

Incubus - I had door 5, they opened door 1 & 2 before 5

Metallica- I had door 5, they opened door 1 first

Pink - I had door 2, they opened door 1 first

Taste of Chos - I had door 1, they opened door 2 first

They have to say they'll open all the doors at the same time otherwise they'll have every1 at one certain door

[through my EyEs]

oh ok letting every door in at once sounds to good to be true but if they open another door first, in your experience how many people from that line get through before the other gates open and what time interval.
Mk nell i believe they need to also give everyone a fair chance
thats why i do expect nearly all doors to be released at the same time

[mknell]

Yeah but they don't care about fairness they just do what they like, the security there suck
Its all just stupid

So yeah don't expect all doors open at once
Tho the sitting down brocess helps u find ppl easy

[Packo]

i think we should all just wait till the day to see wat door gets opened first. No point stressing out about nothing we have control over, just sucks that you have to wait and live off hope!!

i was wondering the same thing... when i saw there was supposedly a gig in woolongong i was real annoyed because it takes the same amount of time to get there as it does to the city from where i live.

but then I looked on the WIN entertainment centre website and it says nothing about the concert...

i also looked at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre website and the St. James Theatre (new zealand) website. And nothing about evanescence was mentioned on any of them.

Along with this there is no mention of extra tour dates on either the official website or EvanescenceWebsite.com (who as you probably know are usually pretty accurate).

I also looked at the Official Australian Evanescence website at SonyBMG. Again, it said nothing about these performances.

So it really looks like these extra gigs aren't real... I hope that helps.

[chainedchaos]

ha ha ha ha rub it in, your gate may be held back ha ha ha lol hope SO lol

Thats nice of you! Well, I was going to save you guys a place by waving around my pirate cutlass (that sounds kinda dirty, sorry) but if you're going to be like that ... ;)

EDIT: OMFG WOLLONGONG!!! If it's true, everyone can come party at my place beforehand. But I'm pretty sure Ev had booked Sydney for the 18th, but hadn't announced it yet.

EDIT#2: This (http://www.sanity.com.au/gigguide/) is the info that i'm basing my last prediction on. Not too reliable, but still.

[WakingDream]

Im not exactly sure where to post this but just wondering is there anyone here that would have two spare seated tickets to the concert? or would like to swap two sydney tickets for two Adelaide tickets? I am in desperate need of two seated tickets or GA if possible.

Nah the Auckland one is real but they can't put anything on their site till the promotor confirms it, but the other 2 & the 2nd Melbourne show I have no idea, maybe they planned to seeing how well Pink has sold but ev hasn't sold out any venues fully yet. I spoke to the people at St James NZ & they said it will be in the new year so i guess we just gotta wait & see

where did you get the shirt from? its hot!!!

[Istimiel]

I'd love to get my hands on a shirt!

[through my EyEs]

Ok its a long story it was suppose to be for christmas i found one on Herald sun hit its a website that sells basically everything including Evanescence tshirts it turns out the evanescence fallen tshirts are discontinued and no one in australia can get one this SUCKS but on this website i found them saying limited stock and that they had a large a medium and an XL left i ordered the medium.

Four days later i open the package and its a bloody Extra large i was so pissed than later on when i wasnt home dad ordered a large and when i found the parcel and tried it on it was basically 2cm smaller all around then the extra large so now i was even more pissed off then finally i checked back on the website and every tshirt was gone except X large and this 1 i got now. It takes 30-40 days to arrive so i ordered it a week ago that means it should get here a week before the concert.

If u want a tshirt chaos.com and herald sun hit are the ONLY sites/ if u want one go right now because if u dont order it today or tomorrow no tshirt for you before the concert.

[ The x large does not have to be shipped and doesnt take 30-40 days only the one i got.]

EVANESCENCE
Are touring Australia in February 2007.


The good news:
(Besides the fact that Evanescence are touring of course. =P)
No supports have been confirmed yet.

The even better news:
This means that all Antonamasia fans can help get them support for these Australian Evanescence shows!


This doesn't go for just the Australian Antonamasia fans either. Getting to support Evanescence might just be that opportunity that will open a whole new window for


It might even see them jetting off out of Australia for an overseas tour!


All we need to do is:
Email the presenter for this Evanescence tour, Michael Coppel requesting that he needn't look any further for a more capable support for Evanescence than Antonamasia. And not only that, but with their growing fanbase are sure to entice more fans to buy tickets to the show.


Michael Coppel's Website
Email: mcpinfo@coppel.com.au




DON'T FORGET TO REPOST THIS FOR OTHER ANTONAMASIA FANS TO SEE IT!

[Packo]

i hope mm9 support. Marc showed me some of their stuff and it ****in rocks, so yeh i hope they support for ev!!

[Fliss]

Yeah they rock but imo i think that ANTONAMASIA are better suited! They killed it supporting Leave's eyes and every EV fan i've met loves their sound! <333333

[mknell]

Yeah they rock but imo i think that ANTONAMASIA are better suited! They killed it supporting Leave's eyes and every EV fan i've met loves their sound! <333333

They most likely won't be getting the suport, Coppel hates putting bands that have a similar sound to the main act as support.

[Imago]

:) will be excellent! i sat on the computer all day, waiting for the presale online tickets :D sure, i was supposed to be working...but...EVanescence seemed more important than burniing countless dvds :D

and i may have misread, but did someone say antonamasia is supporting????
i tried looking through the thread, but...i got confused and clicked where I shouldnt have...

[mknell]

No they aren't supporting tehy are trying for it, the supports haven't been decided yet

If tehy didn't have those 2 2nd shows a myspace show would have bean dead easy to fit in
