WEBVTT - AC/DC 'Power Up' Optus Stadium this December

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:04.279
<v Speaker 1>Because night.

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Well with a lot of they're coming, which was there

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 2>was some discussion last week that they might have left

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Perth that but they're not. They're definitely coming December four.

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about ac DC. Christo van Egmond is the

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.639
<v Speaker 2>managing director of TG van Egmond and joins us.

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:29.760
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, Christie, good morning, how are you very good?

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:33.879
<v Speaker 3>What's the tour called power Up, Power Up? They'll be

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 3>powering up up the stadium. This will sell out within days?

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 3>Why don't or within hours?

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>What do you reckon?

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 4>I would think so, I mean based on what's what's

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 4>happened in Europe and North America. It's it's been a massive,

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 4>massive tour. In Europe, they went on sale would see

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 4>me in tickets and sold one point seven on the

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:54.279
<v Speaker 4>first day and then obviously so sold the balance out

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 4>a few days after. So it's been a huge tour.

0:00:56.360 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 4>They've just done ten dates in North America and heading

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 4>back to Europe produce more shows which is just starting

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 4>now and then and then coming to come to the

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:08.319
<v Speaker 4>home turf in November December.

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 3>And christjoh I'm assuming that if they do so really

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 3>well that they'll be the opportunity to have further concerts

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 3>will there because there's a fair gap between them at

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 3>the moment I say on the schedule.

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 4>There is, I like their rest between shows. But yeah,

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 4>we've only got one at this point.

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Right, So they're going to go to the MCG on

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 2>the twelfth of November and Sydney a Corps Stadium on

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 2>the twenty first. Adelaide on the thirtieth November. Then we

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 2>get a crack and then Brisbane have to wait until Sunday,

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:40.960
<v Speaker 2>the four nighth of December. This will be the biggest

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 2>concert ac DC eve ever played in wa would that

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 2>be right?

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 4>That's right? Yeah, usually at tub but very excited to

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 4>play to play Optic. What an amazing stadium it is.

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 1>How many people will be able to go and.

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 4>Watch approximately sixty thousand?

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 2>And when did tickets go on soul and how do

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 2>we get at first acts to them?

0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 4>So ticket's gone Soil this Thursday twenty six and in

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 4>Perth they're going up online at one pm, which is

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 4>via Ticketech. So we're just suggesting for ticketdvisers they've got

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 4>their Ticketech accounts set up, they've got money in the

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 4>credit card and that they use one device to purchase

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 4>if they're using multiple devices, there's the risk of getting

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 4>thrown off, but just be patient on the one device

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:30.920
<v Speaker 4>and ticket tech will set up queuing and just be patient.

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 1>What can we expect to be paying for a ticket?

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 4>Average is about one nine? Well, the main ticket price

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 4>is one ninety nine, so it's a really accessible price

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.079
<v Speaker 4>and the band's always worked very, very hard to make

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 4>it a really accessible price point, you know, well below

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.679
<v Speaker 4>what we're what we're saying out now for comparable.

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Shows, any support acts on that night, Christa.

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 4>We have, We've got Annal and the Sniffers, who are

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 4>probably the biggest punk rock acts Australia Australia has got

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 4>and just blow blowing up internationally everywhere. And then we

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 4>get it to a local support which we're just working

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.240
<v Speaker 4>through at the moment, so we'll have a nice local

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 4>element to each of the each of the main cats.

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Carl's is pretty good, counted ye, the audience that I'm

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 2>just stating him all.

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:21.519
<v Speaker 1>The time, very good. What's snippers? Bit of Anal and

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the Snippers love a bit of the Snippers.

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad you're coming to birth and that's really good

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 2>because there's so many fans of a C d C

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 2>that'll sell out very quickly.

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:35.600
