Big Day Out

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 10**

Sydney Big Day Out: Sold Out
New Zealand Tickets Go On Sale This Friday 12th October

Last week heralded the return of the BIG DAY OUT, Australia and New Zealand’s biggest touring festival on the musical calendar. This week we’ve received a warm welcome back from music fans with the first release of tickets to the SYDNEY BIG DAY OUT to be held on Friday 25th January 2008, at Sydney Showground SOLD OUT this morning.

Since going on sale today, 45,000 tickets to the SYDNEY BIG DAY OUT have been snapped up at lightning speed by music fans.

Apart from the lack of sleep overnight from the long delays in the BDO ticket fulfillment website, it has been a reasonably smooth process considering the new reduced ticket limit. Ticketmaster sold out their 20,000 ticket allocation in less than five minutes, setting a new benchmark for any event in the country.

As previously announced, the final 10,000 tickets will be made available for purchase through an online ticket ballot via the Big Day Out website, www.bigdayout.com.

CONDITIONS OF SALE AND ADMISSION
Selling tickets for higher than the face value is a breach of the conditions of sale. In an effort to ensure that our tickets are available to genuine punters at the price we have set, every customer will need to read and agree to our Conditions of Sale and Admission before they can purchase tickets. These can be viewed on our website now. Tickets sold on auction sites will be declared invalid and the ticket holder will be refused entry. You have been warned.
