| The Goodies tour is returning to Australia! (updated announcement) |
more from same (The Goodies) |
(Here's an updated version of the announcement from 1 September, for people that have just found the Goodies Rule - OK! website.)
Here's some exciting news - the Goodies live stage show is returning to Australia! To quote from the press release, "The Goodies Still Alive On Stage stars UK comic legends Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden. Bill Oddie will feature in the show from London via the wonders of video. The Goodies Still Alive On Stage returns in a new form to continue the tour that may never end, hopefully satisfying demands from every Australian town and city for a Goodies visit."
To answer some of your anticipated questions:
Q: Which cities will the tour be visiting? When do tickets go on sale?
A: Tickets are currently available for Perth, Parramatta, Launceston, Hobart, Geelong, Coffs Harbour, Tamworth, Newcastle, Gold Coast, Albury, Canberra, Adelaide, Rockhampton, Cairns, Townsville and Melbourne.
Full details about these shows (including where to purchase tickets) can be found in the club FAQ at http://www.goodiesruleok.com/faq.php?topic=10.
Q: Will there be ticket pre-sales for club members?
A: While the producers were unable to set up ticket pre-sales in most cities they have arranged a VERY LIMITED amount of preferential seating for the club. This is available on a first come, first served basis. If you are interested in these seats I advise you to book early for the best chance of getting them; so far they've only been available for the first day or two after a show has gone on sale.
In order to request the preferential seating you must book either by calling or visiting the theater box office or by calling the ticketing agency. When ordering you mention the code word. This was emailed to the goodies-l and C&G mailing lists. It is also available to registered users of the website - if you are logged in you will find the code word in a box on the left side of the page.
Q: Why is Bill only participating by video?
A: Despite his best efforts, Bill wasn't able to reschedule all his filming commitments in order to join Tim and Graeme live in Australia (as fan club members will know, Bill has a heavy travel & filming schedule for his BBC nature shows).
Q: When will we hear about additional shows?
A: The club has been promised updates as soon as they are available if additional shows are added to the tour.
Use the "click here for more" link (in the bottom corner of this box) to see a parital press release about the tour. You can view the tour flyer at http://mysite.verizon.net/vze7yes3/thegoodiesstillaliveonstage/.

| 2nd show added in Adelaide |
more from same (The Goodies) |
A second Goodies show is being added in Adelaide - it will be held on Friday, 25 November at 9:30pm. Tickets will be going on sale today.
Tickets will be available from www.bass.net.au and 131 246.
I believe there will be preferential seating for fan club members available at this show. These can be requested by calling the ticketing phone number (they will not be available online). You must give the code word (which is available to registered users who are logged in to the website).

| Reminder: Melbourne advance sale starts Weds (21 Sept) |
more from same (The Goodies) |
Reminder: Tickets for Melbourne go on sale to club members this Wednesday, 21 September. They go on sale to the general public on Friday, 23 September. Tickets will be available from www.ticketmaster.com.au and 1300 136 166.
(Tickets for all other cities are now on sale. The full tour schedule, including booking information, can be found in the club FAQ at http://www.goodiesruleok.com/faq.php?topic=10).
Advance ticket sale for Melbourne:
A special advance ticket purchase has been arranged for members of the fan club on Weds, 21 Sept - Thurs, 22 Sept. The code word for the advance ticket sale is the same as the preferential seating code word (which is visible to registered users who are logged in). You should be able to book online, by phone, or in person at the Arts Centre.
Preferential seating in Melbourne:
Please note that there won't be preferential seating during the advance ticket sale that's been set up for club members. Preferential seating *will* be available once tickets go on sale to the general public on Sept. 23rd. However, I have been advised that you should be able to get better seats via the advance ticket sale rather than waiting for the preferential seating when tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday.
To request preferential seating in Melbourne you'll need to contact The Arts Centre Mail Bookings Dept either by email (mailbook@theartscentre.net.au), fax (0396457770), or mail (PO Box 7153 Melbourne Vic 8004).
