                         I'd advise your mates to sell their tickets to someone on ebay Daz .
 
 
                                      Then they don't run the risk of 'disappointment', and someone gets tickets who missed out.  Everybody wins!!!

Being an avid Oils fan I'm not too concerned but I know some of my mates who forked out the $80 and aren't HUGE fans will be very disappointed if it comes across as a rehearsal. Management better be prepared for the angry backlash if the gig isn't up to standard - $80 for a warm up gig is one thing, rehearsal is something entirely different (although I guess it's hardly going to impact on future album/tour sales). Surely there was a cheaper venue available (ANU Bar?) which would have cut costs down? I wonder if they considered negotiating with a smaller venue at cost "C'mon champ, it's the rehearsal for the Bushfire Relief Concert, how about doing it at cost and claiming it on your tax return as a donation to charity" or something like that (note, not sure if a service can be claimed but at the least the publicity would have been worth something to the venue). Mind you maybe the Convention Centre came to the party, seems unlikely though, I park there each work day and the ba$tards certainly like to bleed punters dry. I have faith but if the unthinkable happens I'm not standing in front of the angry mob ;)

Cheers

Daz
