How can I get tickets to the AC/DC Australian tour?
As well as setting yourself an alert for the times shown above, Ticketek advises you to put some simple steps into place to ensure your best shot at getting a ticket.
Before the on-sale day
Check that you have an active Ticketek account. Log in or (if you’re new to the site) create a My Ticketek account to ensure your details are up to date, including current payment information, email and phone details. Note: You may need to verify your contact details with a one-time passcode.
Download the Ticketek App. Your purchased tickets will ONLY be accessible via the Ticketek App, so ensure you’ve downloaded it ahead of time to view tickets.
Disable VPNS or IP-masking tools. Using a real IP will ensure Ticketek doesn’t believe you are a bot.
On the on-sale day
Turn off any browser extensions that could potentially trigger a bot detection.
Join the Ticketek Lounge. This will open an hour before the on-sale time listed above.
Keep your browser open. Don’t hit refresh or close your browser – it will automatically refresh once a sale is made.
Only use one device. Using multiple devices or browsers at once may trigger bot protection and remove you from the queue.
- Avoid having multiple tabs open. Having the page open in more than one tab may cause you to lose your place in the queue.
Keep your phone handy. You may be sent a verification code during sign-in, as well as potentially from your bank during payment.
- Ensure your bank balance is in order. Check your spending limits or pre-authorise the purchase to ensure your bank won’t block your transaction.
