Secure tickets for Elton John’s SECOND Hobart show
Sir Elton John will play a second night at Derwent Entertainment Centre, Tasmania following the phenomenal demand for the first show which went on sale yesterday.
The music legend will now headline the Tassie venue on Thursday 28 September, as well as the first gig on Wednesday 27, as he brings a greatest hits setlist to fans down under.
Following overwhelming demand for the original Once In A Lifetime dates, we’ve got top tips for fans hoping to secure tickets for the new date next Monday.
Here’s everything you need to know:
When do tickets go on sale?
Tickets for Elton John at Tasmania’s Derwent Entertainment Centre on 28 September go on general sale at 9am (local time) on Monday 20 March via Ticketmaster.com.au.
Open your Ticketmaster account and log in now
We suggest getting the basics covered before tickets go on sale by logging in and checking your Ticketmaster account ahead of time. Remember to triple check your passwords, delivery address and billing information now, so you’re not facing any last minute account updates when trying to process your order. Head to Ticketmaster.com.au now and log in to your account to get started.
Don’t refresh your screen
Stick to one window when you’re processing your ticket order and avoid the temptation to use multiple devices. Attempting to access tickets from multiple devices won’t increase your chances of securing tickets and could risk slowing the process down. Similarly, hitting the refresh button means you’ll lose your place in the queue, and as frustrating it can be, patience is key when trying to buy tickets.
Ticketmaster’s sophisticated systems are designed to manage and process ticket purchases as quickly as possible. The queuing system that appears on your screen is doing all the hard work for you and will place you at the front of the line as soon as possible.
Keep an eye on the clock
There will be a time limit applied to all transactions as they progress through the ticket purchasing stages. Remember to keep an eye on the timer on your screen and move through the processing pages as quickly as possible (this is even easier when you’ve completed the account set-up stage we mentioned above).
Be sure that they have a Ticketmaster account and know your password. If you don’t have an account you can sign up at Ticketmaster.com.au.
