Remember the days of camping out in your sleeping bag to get those hot tickets? Well they're back. Flight of the Conchords have confirmed they'll be back to perform a 10-show tour around New Zealand in June, and you can bet tickets will be in demand.
So, concerned about ticket scalpers hiking prices, promoters have decided to let genuine fans have a shot at securing prime seats, by reserving 300 tickets to be sold through physical outlets in each city, to punters wishing to queue up in person.
There will be tickets available online too, with pre-sales open to Visa card-holders through www.visaentertainment.co.nz from midday, Tuesday, March 20 to Wednesday, March 21 at 5pm (with a cap of four tickets per person), and then public sales will be available on Friday, March 23 through the venues' affiliated ticketing websites from midday, and through the aforementioned physical box offices from 8am, with tickets priced between $55 and $79.
The duo, Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, haven't performed here since 2009. But in the wake of their HBO series they played to crowds of 17,000 at the Hollywood Bowl and 12,500 at Wembley Arena.
There's no word yet on whether they will be playing all the old favourites, or whether they've had time to work on any new material - McKenzie of course spent time writing music for The Muppets movie including the Oscar-winning Man or Muppet, while Clements has had a steady stream of supporting roles in movies including the forthcoming Men In Black III.
