Melbourne Big Day Out Sold Out

Following the trend of rapid ticket sales in Sydney on Wednesday and the Gold Coast yesterday, 45,000 tickets to the Melbourne BDO have sold out this morning.

But, once again, there’s still hope for those who didn’t get their tickets in time: the final 5,000 tickets will be made available for purchase through an online ticket ballot via the Big Day Out website, www.bigdayout.com

Here’s what you need to know:

Each week 500 tickets for the 2010 Melbourne BDO will be made available on the Big Day Out website via an online randomly drawn ballot.

The ballot will be drawn at 9 pm EST on the Thursday of each week, beginning Thursday 22nd October and finishing Thursday 24th December.

The weekly ballot ticket limit is two tickets per customer.

As the Melbourne Big Day Out ballot has a strict limit of two tickets per customer, if you have previously bought Big Day Out tickets to the Melbourne event and if upon entering into the ballot you surpass the two ticket limit, no tickets will be allocated to you. This will be strictly adhered to.

Registering for the ballot

* Registrations will open at 9am EST Thursday 15th October.
* You will need to complete and submit the ballot registration page on the website.
* Your registration will only need to be completed once and will last for the duration of the balloting weeks.

If you are successful in the ballot

An email will be sent to you within 30 minutes of the ballot draw. This will provide details of how to complete the order, ie, pay for your tickets.

You will be given five days to pay for your ticket order (until 9pm EST on the following Tuesday after the ballot). If in this time you have not paid for your order, these tickets will be forfeited and put back into the next week's ballot.
