We like to give TORN readers the competitive edge when it comes to ticket buying, and knowledge is power, as they say. Ticketek gave me this information:
Tickets go on sale at 9am NZ time on Monday. We’re on daylight saving here so this will be 1pm Pacific Standard Time on SUNDAY for folks in the States, and around 9pm Sunday GMT. Overseas bookings – like we’ve done for the Ringers party, you can opt for ‘pick up at venue’ and when you get to concert hall on the night, show your credit card at the box office (the same one you used to book) and they’ll give you the ticket.
