You guys aren't fans of AC/DC unless you guys make the effort to see them 2BIG Shows in New Zealand and you're not commited to traveling north to see them, you guys arent true fans, i will be going from ch-ch to welly to see them

ac/dc is awsome woo hoo they shud come to nz

Don't whinge! if you aren't dedicated enough to make the effort to go see them, suffer and miss out, I just got my 4 OZZIE tickets this morning! 3 shows in Melbourne and 1 in Sydney, now just waiting for the KIWI tickets to go on sale... theres gonnabe some rocking...

i notice that it has been mentioned that qe2 in chch wouldnt be big enough to hold an acdc concert. Well when they we at qe2 in 96 there was plenty of room we also have jade stadium where bon jovi played. So why is it that the north island gets two concerts and the south gets none.Instead of spending x amount of money on things like building a stadium in dunedin that wont get used how about doing chch stadiums up

I worked as an ambulance officer at the last AC/DC concert in Wellington and can remember all too clearly how shameful the behaviour of the crowd was. Admittedly the crowd in the Milard Stand (true fans I would say) were well behaved but the ground crowd were a disgrace. I do remember the then major stating that they would never be invited back to Wellington. The pathway of destruction from Newtown into the CBD was unbelievable and A&E at Wellington Hospital was a zoo of unconscious drugged and drunk individuals. Lets hope this concert the audience will be a bit better behaved

man ive been waiting for 10years if not longer for acdc to came back to new zealand, was pregant last time they were here. an bugger they not even caming to the south island rude man. sad as im one broken fan

Whhoooo hoooo...hiigghhhwwaaaayyy to hell doo doo highhhhwwaayyy to hell...This is going to be the best news of the year. Man, i hope they going to have 2 shows at these locations cause these shows are going to sell out....im going to have my debit card all ready and waiting..whhhoooo hoooooo

Great that AC/DC are coming to NZ! I'll be there for sure. There's so many haters in this country - Nth Island vs South Island? Gimme a break! Just be happy there's an AC/DC concert coming to OUR COUNTRY......Jeff #29 - Do you fly domestically much? When was the last time you used a passport to fly domestically? haha. egg.

I would hate for any fan like Cynthia to miss out on a great concert because they are waiting for a South Island gig to be annouced.

The sad fact is there is no room in the tour schedule to move 48 large containers of gear to Christchurch. The stage is so big it takes 7-8 days to build and 3 days to break down. The stage in Wellington will be immediately shipped to Australia where I expect the tour will finish in Perth before the band heads to East Asia.

The tour window for this part of the world is only 4 weeks which meant that they were only ever going to play in two NZ cities. If you do not want to miss a great concert book your discount airline flight now and catch the band on Saturday night in Wellington.

@ Jim King #12:

1. "privileged credit card holders" - yes, it's a privilege to hold a credit card - one you have to earn and maintain by having a good credit history and good payment history on your card. 2. "let's hope it doesn't happen again like Simon and Garfunkel"...WTF? I hardly think that S & G are in the same genre of music as ACDC and hardly llikely to attract the same fan base. The same problem might apply in being sold out, but that is what happens with all big/popular shows - U2, RHCP to name just 2. The problem is not the pre-sales to credit card holders, it is the fact that more often than not there are no limits on the number of tickets one is able to purchase, other than the available balance on your credit card. There is also no penalty for scalping - I may be wrong there, and am prepared to be corrected. The problem is the selfish, greedy buggers who buy 20 tickets, not intending to use any of them, only to scalp them on Trademe etc. Put a limit on the amount of tickets that can be pre-bought,and prosecute those that scalp, and that may go some way to curbing the problem of sold-out events. I feel for the SI people in not getting a show, but as others have said, it down't cost that much to get to Welly and you have plenty of time to save up. I will be going to the Auckland show,and have to drive from Rotorua to get there, organise accomodation etc. It will cost me, but will be well worth the money!
