Thanks to thenightfish and W.D. Stevens for the replies to my pre-sale questions. Cheers.

So how do you purchase presale tickets through paulmccartney.com? Clicking on the presale links takes you to Ticketek, so how do they know I'm registered? As a member do I still need to register? And there's no way to "login" on paulmccartney.com. Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks.

Article in The Advertiser has quotes from promoter Michael Gudinski: Frontier Touring head honcho Michael Gudinski, who's been chasing Sir Paul to tour Down Under for almost 15 years, said time restrictions and the sheer scale of the show meant an Adelaide show was simply impossible. "Look, I would have loved to have had Paul McCartney for six weeks and put on a show in Adelaide, a show in Tasmania," Gudinski said. "If I could have done that, I would have. I know that it's unfortunate, but that's the way it is." A spokesperson from Mr Gudinski's office said, "Paul McCartney was only available for a certain period of time for the Australia-New Zealand tour. The logistics of moving a show of this size and the availability of dates ultimately dictated the markets that could be included on this tour." http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/rock-icon-sir-paul-mccartney-confirms-australian-tour-but-adelaide-to-miss-out/news-story/c83c06f29ad7755cb1be0fb6ace331da

Can a Moderator please amend the thread title? The stadium name is Qudos Bank Arena not Quidos. It's also misspelled on Paul's website page for the Australian/New Zealand tour so 5th Beatle must've done a copy and paste. Cheers.

Greystoke Apparently the Ashes are on between 2nd and 6th December. However, they could use the Entertainment Centre, the venue in Sydney only takes 20,000 apparently. I've posted on Frontier touring page along with lots of others. Perhaps you could do that too? I'm going to Melbourne and hopefully Sydney but would love to see him at Adelaide Oval!! Cheers Chrissie

Yeah, I only just realised the cricket was on here between the Perth date and Melbourne date. Still I would've thought the touring schedule could've been played with to get around the problem. Then again, maybe there would have been other clashes so it couldn't be helped. That said, there are a few alternative venues here but unfortunately, none with the capacity of Adelaide Oval. Although I think several things seem to have conspired to keep Paul away from Adelaide I'm sure the promoter and Paul's people looked into it before deciding. Doesn't make it any less disappointing though.

I am shocked he's not coming to Adelaide to be honest. Anyone know the reasoning behind this. The reason I am disappointed is I was going to take my granddaughter to the concert, she's 16 and a big fan, but can't afford to take her to Melbourne. Cheers Chrissie

I'm not surprised. I had a feeling we might miss out. Adelaide was off the radar of all promoters for years but recently we've been getting all the big names, so I can't fathom it. Something to do with Paul's camp, the promoter or both. Money? Logistics? Time constraints? Dunno. Will look at interstate shows but I'm not necessarily locked in to attending one. Not happy Jan!!

And Adelaide gets dudded again. Pathetic.
