The journalist has done a great job, full of interviews with fans and family and friends. It finishes with this great tidbit:
Lucas would like to ask a question I do not know if ac / dc come to argentina, where you can read something, we wait with eager
WELL RUMOUR HAS IT THAT THINGS MIGHT END UP BEFORE A JUDGE… AS THE AFL HAS EXCUSIVE USAGE RIGHTS TO ETIHAD STADIUM DURING THE PERIOD FOR AUSSIE RULES FOOTBALL…
WHEN AC/DC ARE SUPPOSED TO PLAY A CONCERT!!!
THE PROMOTER KEEPS SAYING HE HAS A CONTRACT TO ALLOW AC/DC TO PLAY…
THIS WILL BE VERY INTERESTING…
WELL IT SEEMS THE AFL HAS NO PROBLEM MOVING THE GAMES THAT ARE BOOKED TO PLAY ETIHAD AT THE SAME TIME AS AC/DC…
THE CLUBS HOWEVER… THEY HAVE SOME CONCERNS!!!
HOME GROUND ADVANTAGES… CROWD/GATE TAKINGS… FINALS… ALL MEAN THAT ITS NO EASY DECISION TO MAVE GAMES…
THEN EVEN AFTER ALL THESE THINGS ARE SOLVED… THEN THERE IS THE HUGE FINANCIAL COSTS INVOLVED!!!…
MY GUESS IS THAT YES… ITS POSSIBLE TO MOVE THE GAMES TO OTHER ARENAS!!! BUT THE AFL CANNOT PAY THE EXTRA MONIES NEEDED TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN…
PERHAPS IT WOULD BE FAR EASIER FOR AC/DC TO PLAY MELBOURNE LAST… AND AVOID THE WHOLE SITUATION!!!
oops!!!
SAYS A LOT FOR THE PROFFESSIONAL PROMOTER…GARRY VAN EGG ON YA FACE…HAHAHA
I WONDER IF HE WILL INVITE ME TO ALSO BE A VIP AT THE CONCERTS!!!
I AINT HOLDIN ME BREATH!!!
WHOO HOO!!!
SYDNEY AINT A BAD PLACE TO BE!!!
IVE STARTED MY PRE DRINKS ALREADY!!!
This page has a summary of accommodation close to Etihad Stadium for all that are going to the AC/DC February concert in Melbourne
HI THERE!!!
I LISTENED TO 3AW A FEW DAYS BACK… ITS MELBOURNES TALKBACK RADIO STATION!!!
WELL THE BOSS OF THE AFL WAS ON…
HE STATED THAT THE SITUATION BETWEEN THE AFL…ETIHAD… AND AC/DC WAS STILL INRESOLVED???
COULD YOU EXPLAIN HOW A CONCERT CAN BE HELD IF FOOTBALL GAMES ARE BEING PLAYED???
I WOULD NOT SUGGEST ANYONE PAY FOR ACCOM UNTIL A 100% PROMISE IS GIVEN THAT THE MELBOURNE CONCERTS WILL BE AT ETIHAD…
yep i hope to see you all there, please start buying tickets for our gigs
