No one can deny that the demand for tickets to Tiesto’s upcoming Melbourne shows was immense. The details were announced early on Tuesday 12th February it took just 90 minutes for the first Festival Hall event to sell out, with a second show quickly put onsale to cope with the overwhelming demand. With it having now also sold out in less than a day, many punters have been left feeling frustrated and upset that they’d missed out on tickets to one of the year’s most anticipated tours. Well, dry your eyes as your prayers have been answered… a third Tiesto ‘Elements of Life’ concert is now scheduled!

Speaking to inthemix after yesterday’s fervor, Tiesto’s Australian rep Totem / Hardware were keen to give us an insight into what was going on behind the scenes to make sure everyone had a chance to experience the Dutch trance legend live in concert. Have a read of the statement below for an explanation of the onsale date and venue choice, and if you missed out on tickets to either of Tiesto’s first two Melbourne events, be ready and waiting at 9am on Monday 18th February to ensure you get your tickets.

“Firstly apologies to the people that missed out. There was obviously people that did the research through Ticketmaster, Festival Hall, etc… As they were waiting to buy tickets at 9am on Tuesday morning. We do sympathise and feel for those that missed out so, a third concert for Friday 2nd May at Festival Hall will be on sale from 9am next Monday 18th February at Ticketmaster and on inthemix.com.au. It’s not really anyone’s fault as full info was released on Tuesday, the same day tickets went on sale, and no one expected such a high demand. In saying that, the fact that it sold so quickly surprised us all, hence the announcement of extra shows for those who missed out.

This is a Tiesto team directed show. There are specific guidelines on production (sound, lighting, video, staging, security). The two most suitable Melbourne venues were Vodafone (not available) and Festival Hall. We personally prefer Festival Hall because it’s something different. Things are getting way boring down here, very same-same. Its capacity is only 1,000 people less than Vodafone and it “feels” more intimate because it is set up sideways. As a space it is fantastic for this sort of event, with both Love Parade and Pharmacy Black greatly received at this venue in the past.”
