It’s not every day that you get the chance to do a favour for The Rolling Stones.
With the news just announced that The Rolling Stones are heading to Australia and New Zealand this March, comes further details of just how the Melbourne concert for the legendary band was made possible.
With only one date possible for the Stones to play at Rod Laver Arena, US rockers Thirty Seconds To Mars kindly agreed to hand over the venue to the Stones, moving their own concert into next doors Hisense Arena.
Promoter Michael Gudinski said of the generous move “The Stones could only play that one date in Melbourne and it had to be at Rod Laver Arena. We were honestly at a loss as to what to do. No one wants to say no to the Stones!
“Thirty Seconds to Mars were more than happy to help us out of our dilemma and we’re hugely grateful for their assistance.”
All tickets for the Rod Laver Arena concerts will be reallocated to similar locations at Hisense Arena.
General Admission Floor ticket holders do not need to do anything. Their tickets will be valid for use at Hisense Arena.
Concert goers with Reserved Seating tickets will be reallocated into a similar location in Hisense Arena. All new Reserved Seating tickets will be sent via email by Tuesday 17th December.
Ticketek will email all patrons this week to advise them of the process regarding their new tickets.
Thirty Seconds To Mars Australian shows in March 2014 are set to be some of the most anticipated performances of the year; the band are armed to the teeth with an artillery of anthemic hits from their back catalogue and recent fourth album Love Lust Faith + Dreams (out now through Universal Music). They will be joined on all Australian shows by the UK’s princes of post-punk, White Lies.
All remaining tickets to Thirty Seconds To Mars at Hisense Arena will be available to purchase from Friday 6 December 2013 at 9am, from Ticketek.
