Midnight Oil Warn Fans To Not Buy Tickets Through Resellers

With tickets to their world tour going on sale today, Midnight Oil have urged fans to stay away from reseller websites. 

The warning comes as the hugely-anticipated The Great Circle tour has already sold over 200,000 tickets, as well as 25 shows selling out. 

A statement released by the promoter today reads, "Such unofficial ticketing companies may currently be legal and thus beyond the band's control but they typically charge grossly inflated prices and the band does not profit from, nor support, their re-sale activities.

"It should also be noted that the first actual tickets for the Australian dates on The Great Circle 2017 world tour will not be printed and mailed out until early August so any online scalpers claiming to be in possession of tickets before that time are knowingly misleading fans."

The band's stance on reselling website comes just weeks after some of the country's top promoters called for a complete crackdown on scalping.

In response to the overwhelming demand for tickets, extra Sydney and Melbourne shows are expected to be announced shortly due to quick sell-out times, while other shows in Kuranda, Brisbane, Hunter Valley, Macedon Ranges, Canberra and Wollongong have all sold out.
