Bloody hell! Well keep looking, it's ages until the actual gig so you'll probably be able to find a ticket at some point!

Fuck me sideways, I didn't realise until just now how lucky I've actually been! I've been getting texts left, right and centre off my mates with only one of them having any luck at all. People on other forums have been inundating the internet with similar tales of woe.
There are some people my other lucky mate knows who have been on 8 separate work computers from the off trying to get through with only one of them getting a ticket (seated).
It's carnage out there.

I know, I can't believe it. I keep reading my confirmation e-mail in disbelief!

I'm waiting for my confirmation e-mail from see tickets for the 16th (Standing).

I gave up after ticket master had sold out then someone told me that see tickets had some left. This was about 10.30ish. I went on and sure enough they had seating left at the 02.

I NEED the e-mail.

Well, if we're going to play that game, here's mine! Also from seetickets, as that seemed to be the only website that didn't break at 10am (it broke a few minutes later).

So was I. My mate came running into the office shouting..."SEETICKETS!". I left the 'meeting table', my boss understood the situation and I hit seetickets.

Haha, here's a short quote from an American on the AC/DC forum who is outraged by the $91.50 ticket prices:

"This is a sham and instead of making you washed-up old geezers richer and richer, I will be spending my money on power metal shows"

Now that's bloody hilarious.
