One Direction set to take Friday

One Direction tickets go on sale this Friday and since we’re a Ticketek outlet we are set to have a shop full of girls for ,ugh of the morning. We have been selling tickets for quite a while and never have we had so many calls of visits about a ticket on-sale. And these girls are relentless in wanting to know stuff. The make AFL finals customers seem tame by comparison. We’ll make the most of the opportunity with up-sells targeting the One Direction demographic.

As an aside, tickets are $72 each. People have money for things they love.

    I am also a ticketek outlet and I find it quite obscene when we are open from 8-6
    daily and I can surpass my takings for the whole day in 30 minutes on Ticketek.
    You are right Mark; people will find the money to do the things they want to do
    and ticketek is a great example of that.

    Just got off the phone from Ticketek relating to 1D sales online being useless.
    He finally self admitted that Ticketek HAD IT dramas , but also claimed tickets sold out in minutes at box office / outlet queues.

    thanks Ticketek

    As they say, all’s “fair” in love and war ! Don’t think many Ticketek agents made a lot of commission on One Direction today.
