May 25, 200619 yr Stadium pulls plug on Larry concert CONCERNS about damage to Suncorp Stadium's playing surface and a lack of headline acts have quashed plans for the Cyclone Larry fundraising concert in Brisbane. The concert was to be held at Suncorp Stadium on June 25 and its cancellation is a big embarrassment to the Queensland Government, which rushed through legislation to allow it to be held. Instead, Premier Peter Beattie said $250,000 in rent raised for a December concert by Robbie Williams at Suncorp Stadium would be donated to Larry victims. "While I am disappointed the benefit concert will not be proceeding, I am delighted that the residents in the cyclone-affected region will receive more funding as a result of the Robbie Williams concert to help them in the recovery process," Mr Beattie told Parliament today. Harvey Lister, chief executive of the stadium's management company Ogden IFC, said today no other date than June 25 had been available for the benefit event, which would have featured a line-up of mostly Australian music stars. "We found that we would be very limited in the number of dates that would be available to do it because of the very heavy rugby league and rugby program that we have at the stadium this year," Mr Lister said. The schedule included a State of Origin game, two Rugby Tests and Brisbane Broncos' home games. Mr Lister said two promoters had been working on the line-up for the June 25 concert but failed to find acts with sufficient crowd-pulling power. "It was their professional judgment and ours that neither of the line-ups proposed would have drawn the size of a crowd necessary to make an event like that viable," he said. Mr Lister said catering, ticketing and security companies had all offered to waive their fees or provide them at cost for the concert but it still would have cost about $750,000 for scaffolding, staging, sound and lighting. "If, for instance, we were to target making $250,000 profit, the event would need to gross $1 million, that's 25,000 people at $40 a ticket net," he said. "It needs a very strong act to pull 25,000 people." A group of former Queensland rugby league greats called Former Origin Greats (FOGS) held a fund-raising lunch at the stadium in April that raised $90,000 for the Cyclone Larry appeal. To date, almost $19 million has been donated to victims of the cyclone, with the money being distributed by the cyclone relief taskforce.

June 6, 200619 yr Author Robbie's return is a sellout Sydney morning Herald The highly anticipated return to Australia of British pop star Robbie Williams sent fans in Sydney and Melbourne into a ticket-buying frenzy today, with first shows in both cities selling out in 30 minutes. More than 100,000 tickets combined were sold by 9.30am (AEST) for the Robbie Williams: Close Encounters world tour at Sydney's Aussie Stadium and Melbourne's Telstra Dome in December. A spokeswoman for promoter Chugg Entertainment said they were shocked at the overwhelming demand for tickets. "We expected strong sales in Sydney and Melbourne, but nothing like this," she said. The demand meant an extra show in Sydney was added at 9.45am (AEST) and the spokeswoman said more than 85 per cent of the Sunday evening show had already sold. It's been five years since Williams toured Down Under. The current leg of the tour begins in Dublin on June 9 and will visit 14 countries on 44 different dates by the time it wraps in Melbourne on December 17. There was a strict six-ticket limit policy on sales today to avoid scalpers on-selling them at a higher price. Gold tickets started at $149.95 and the cheaper end of the scale was silver reserve at $99.95. Tickets for Williams' Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane shows go on sale tomorrow and the spokeswoman urged fans to get in early. "There has been a huge demand, all we can say is that fans need to get in early because they are selling fast," she said. Williams shattered the Guinness Book of World Records for the fastest, and largest number of concert tickets ever sold in one day - 1.6 million - when the European leg of his world tour went on sale in November 2005. not five years! they obviously forgot about 2003.
June 6, 200619 yr Author Fans go mad for Robbie TENS of thousands of fans locked up the ticketek.com website for the second time in a week today while trying to buy Robbie Williams concert tickets. Fewer than 60 people braved wet and cold conditions outside the box office on Elizabeth Street. A limit of six tickets a person were on sale for the concert at Aussie stadium on December 9. Avid fan Justine, her dog Chee Chee and five other diehards waited outside for two nights to ensure they were at the front of the line. Second in the queue Joan Gasbarini said Justine, who was fast asleep, became a new friend after they met during the long wait. They had arrived at 10pm on Sunday. To avoid internet congestion, Sydney tickets were only put on sale by Ticketek today. By 9.30am, there were 41 auctions for the tickets on eBay.
