Yes, this is saturation publicity compared to Manly

Everyone who's planning to use the ticketek website on monday, I recommend visiting the site beforehand and familiarising yourself with it and if there's a login needed to do transactions, set it up beforehand.  Check what credit cards they use, etc, maybe test run the payment engine, up to the point of payment then cancel it before you commit.

O/S people, look up the international time zone to convert the AU local time.  Find out if it's Eastern Standard Time or Eastern Daylight Time and figure out what that all means to convert to your time ... Any local knowledge on when Ticketek's "9am" *really* is in GMT?  ie: Will it be open at GMT 2009-03-01 23:00 or 2009-03-02 00:00 or 01:00  (I'm in Queensland on EasternDinosaurTime, who knows what Ticketek's 9am converts to up here?  Still 9am? or 8am?).  Even then, I'd lurk around the PC at all those times if you're overseas and flying in, and just try getting on anyway in case someone's confused the times.

Manly received no publicity apart from the Oils website & the local Manly paper. The Canberra gigs on the other hand are being mentioned EVERYWHERE, so buy as quickly as possible on Monday morning.
