The crowded summer festival market seems to be even snapping at the heels of the big boys, with the Big Day Out issuing an extraordinary ‘2 for 1’ offer for the festival’s second Sydney show. The crowded touring market appears to have taken a toll on music fans’ wallets, with tickets for the second day slowing down to a trickle.
According to the Big Day Out organisers, “The high demand for the 26 January Australia Day show, combined with the overwhelming number of international tours and events this summer has necessitated a choice to be made for the good of the event. Because our audience is such a valued part of the show, we felt you deserved a reward for 18 years of support. For those with tickets to the first show on Australia Day, please accept this as a plus, not a minus: You and a friend have a chance to catch the acts you missed the 1st day. For half price!” In some ways this is good for fans who haven’t bought tickets, but what about those that have? Let us know your thoughts!
