Delta Goodrem

[leash0002]

hey guys
i went to delta concert last night in sydney (23rd july) and it was ABSOLUTLEY AMAZING!!!!! i have never seen anything like it!!!
Just wondering whether anyone else went to it?

[Tinkers]

haha, yep i went. and Seven went too.

check the Leave a Note For Someone thread cos i just left a note about what a crackup she was during some of her songs.

and i'll try and post a photo in this thread soon of during that song with Brian when everyone had their mobile phones on cos it was really pretty. mmm, funny old Delts. i only realised last night that she reminds me so much of Keira Knightly.

[swede]

to be honest, i wouldnt wanna see anything like it...

[Chrissie]

I'm not really a Delta fan, but a friend got to go backstage Saturday night at her concert and a couple of weeks before, met her and Brian..

[kiwijunkie]

I went last night and it was heaps wicked, really enjoyed myself, everyone else seemed to aswell, i thought ticket prices were nasty, and some of the merch was expensive too, cool that she's the first australian to headline at the superdome tho

[Hinny]

The superdome has awful sound quality.

[swede]

agreed there yet again

[Seven]

Heres some pix

She's coming to Tasmania soon...I don't think she's been yet, I'm not a fan so I'm not sure of the dates, but tickets were well over $100.

[Fredina]

REALLY TGM????

I saw some in the paper today starting from 60 bucks. Immediately thought 'who the F%^& would pay that much for that?

[:: katie b ::]

A HUNGGGGGGGGYYYYYYYYY for delta? omg. gross.

[Hinny]

The rich parents who spoil their precious little 11 year old girls?

[Seven]

60 bucks is cheap for a show. vip's went for 200, thats what my friend ended up getting us. and although yes it was pricey , the show was good. gotta give credit where its due and delta did a great job.

[Chrissie]

$200 :eek:

Unless you go by Bob Dylan, Neil Young, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, or Robert Plant/Jimmy Page, AAAAANNNNNNDDDDD you played at an intimate club with like 400 capacity, there's just no reason to fork out 200.

A music gig shouldn't cost 200. That's what you pay for to see a full blown production where the music is just an afterthought.

[Seven]

$200 :eek:


yeah ..hoping half of that was a donation to what ever find she is contributing some sales too.


but it was actually good to see a concert with vip tickets on sale, more acts should hold these sort of events!

[Tinkers]

im not sure that it was good value for money, i mean there were 12000 people there and it felt very unintimate (as my photos will show if i ever get around to posting them)

so when you think about delta doing a few aussie shows at an average of $100 per ticket, and with that amount of people attending...thats quite a spicy meatball, plus the money that merch would have raked in... so im sure she could have still made considerable profit without charging such high ticket prices.

Also, while it was a good show, when i compare it to the missy show that i went to at the enmore which was way smaller, yet heaps cheaper (cos of the smaller venue and because it wasnt as glitzy) That was a far more memorable night for me because i felt i could connect with missy. And compare that to the girl sitting near me on saturday night who had binoculars out trying to watch Delta. which must have been annoying to finally get to see her first tour, and be so removed from the action. (unless you're Seven and you're lucky enough to be in VIP section :))

but i agree delta certainly did a good job.
and i'll also give her some credit cos shes donating part of proceeds to Cancer research.
and ill give her some more credit cos she said out of ze blue, hehe.

[Hinny]

This is elitism. Hinny is all for fan club tixs being set aside, but VIP? At a gig, everyone oughta be equal.

Each to their own. Im not a massive fan of deltas but i rather have the best seats and pay the highest price when going to a gig otherwise i rather not go.Besides im not going to comment on price as I am no expert on the actual price ranges for VIP tickets.

[Seven]

I personally think that a limited amount of VIP tickets should be on sale at a high price so who ever is a massive fan and can afford them should have the opportunity.

[Chrissie]

ah, if it's for charity, fair enough.

I agree that more acts should hold these events, for huge fans who are willing to pay and get great seats. I probably wouldn't have paid that much for Delta, only because i'm not much of a fan of hers :) I definitely would for Missy though :D

yeah for sure, i would of definetly preferred 200 bucks going to a missy VIP ticket instead of delta. Then again maybe if i gave the 200 bucks to shenelle shed get me some sort of vip thingy :p

[Tinkers]

rightio...im hoping this photo of delta works

http://http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a29/Tinkers_/deltsonthescreen.jpg

[Tinkers]

oh feck that.
i dont think it worked

k, im going to bed, computers suck ass.

goodnight

[Seven]

here u go

[swede]

delta is a rip-off - average live from what ive seen - tickets should be the same price so that the massive fans that are poor can sit real close

[Choppy]

Hmm yeah I think Delta is prity but im realy not a fan of her music. 'Specialy the new song she just released.

[Tinkers]

hey, cheers Seven.
you're alright.

i might attempt to put up a couple more pics like that in the near future...but i think that you pretty much get the jist from that one photo that i was very far away from the stage- the others are basically the exact same thing.

[kiwijunkie]

Yeah the ticket i paid was the $60, and that was good enough for me, i would have paid the $200 but i didnt think i would be in the country, so i went with the cheapest just in case, i still had a decent seat, and i enjoyed myself, i didnt think i would, so

there's a dvd of the sydney concerts coming out later in the year

[Seven]

yes I know... Ill be the one thats NOT throwing my hands in the air like loose noodles :rolleyes: Hopefully they edit me out of that dvd!!

[kiwijunkie]

hehe, i was too far back, so i was safe, and could noodle away without caution lmao

[Seven]

well maybe just maybe... your noodling was worth zooming in for and they got u on the dvd anyhow :D

[thatgirlmichelle]

Yea my friend was going to go, the cheapest ticket she could get was $110 or something. Apparently they were only $60 if you bought X amount of tickets and they were really crappy seats? Something like that, but it was pretty stupid. They never even filled up the DEC, they got 3500 people and it holds like 5000.

[kiwijunkie]

well maybe just maybe... your noodling was worth zooming in for and they got u on the dvd anyhow :D

Ahh well, i think i can live with it, my excuse is *i had to get in the mood because my niece would hit me* :D

[James]

man, all those pics ROCK!@
shes hot as!

[Danni]

I went to the Saturday night concert! (I was the one Chrissie mentioned in her post :p)
It was an awesome concert! ... I understand that not everyone likes her and that ... but I'd just like to say ... her concert was awesome! You can't judge her concert by her live performances on shows like Rove and Sunrise or whatever ... because her concert really had all the theatrics! There was dancing and interaction with the audience ... not just her sitting behind the piano ... it really opened up another side to her!
Anyways, enough blabbering! Your pics are awesome "Seven" :D

[Seven]

Ta :)

[kiwijunkie]

Im happy about 'Be Strong' being the next single for the album, i really do adore that song, along with fragile. Hopefully some nice bsides on the single release aswell, like she always does :D

Hey :D

[Miss_Kate]

Hey all,

I'm a MASSIVE fan of Delta... I went to her Brisbane Visualise Concert on July 18th and was totally blown away. She performed amazingly, and the show was so spectacular. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a fan of hers!

I paid the VIP price $200 so I could get great seats. We were 5th row back from the stage, and were right next to the catwalk barrier, so could just reach out and nearly touch her. So to me, it was worth every penny.

Thanks for posting the photos - she looked so stunning in all her outfits!! I'm looking forward to her next single (Be Strong), and also the tour DVD coming out in October! Keep an eye out for me on the DVD... if there are snippets from other concerts, I might be in the Brisbane one! :D

love kate xx

[kiwijunkie]

Yes we are a little worried about this DVD coming, we dont wanna be on it lol

[LoganEcholls]

The concerts they are using for the DVD are the ones at the Sydney Superdome.

And just FYI for an earlier post about Delta's ticket sales: she outsold the likes of Green Day, Destiny's Child and 50 Cent, amongst others, at the Sydney Superdome. There she sold 20,000, which is an incredible amount. Delta also has the honour of being the first Australian act to headline at the Superdome.

[swede]

that doesnt make her australia's biggest or greatest artist though, also i dont see all the fuss about the superdome, its a mediocre music venue

Hey Kate :p
I recognise you from Delta's forum haha

I think the concert was definetly worth every cent ... and if you didn't want to go or pay ... then you didn't have to!!

It's great to see that the proceeds go to her charity for Lymphoma though :D

Well, I can't wait for the DVD!

Hey Seven ... are you also on Delta's forum? Or is a friend of yours or something?! Cause I think your pics were posted on there somewhere haha

[leash0002]

i think i read somewhere that the dvd was filmed at the concert i was at (sat at superdome) but then people were saying that her voice was croaky so she was using sunday nights concert instead....i think i read it on delta forum. that silly forum wont let me register!!! it wont send me a validattion email...so annoying

Yeah i read they were going with sunday's concert, which is bad for 2 reasons, 1. i was there, 2. seats were empty lol, i'll laugh if its saturday's crowd byt sunday's voice, thats impossible i guess, October 25th is the release date for the dvd, cant wait to make me some sweet mp3's out of that!

[kiwijunkie]

By the way kiwi...wats up with ur sig :p

We can't all have Beckham in our sigs :p

Green Day only had one concert at the Superdome when they toured, which sold out fast.. so obviously she would have outsold them because she had a few[?] concerts there. You can't really compare.

[swede]

that is indeed correct.

starting to make statements like is to start comparing any band with the rolling stones. its just not wise to do it

nehow, why is it such a big deal to headline the superdome?

[kiwijunkie]

Green Day only had one concert at the Superdome when they toured, which sold out fast.. so obviously she would have outsold them because she had a few[?] concerts there. You can't really compare.

Green Day's concert was awesome, i hate the superdome tho, its pointless and too far out to go to for a concert, i went and saw alanis there in 99, so that makes it 3 times i've been there, whats wrong with the entertainment centre!, i dunno where this post is going, i just dislike the superdome :P

[swede]

they dont go to the ent cent cause they dont do ticketek gigs.

im pretty sure that is why

[Seven]

they dont go to the ent cent cause they dont do ticketek gigs.

im pretty sure that is why


yes they do. and i agree with chrissie delta woulda no doubt outsold greenday otherwise greenday would of done another gig.

[Seven]

We can't all have Beckham in our sigs :p


hahah but that pic of robbie like so ...ewwww :p

[swede]

yes they do. and i agree with chrissie delta woulda no doubt outsold greenday otherwise greenday would of done another gig.

was that a yes they do because ticketek dont do the gigs? cause i know ticketek dont do syd ent cent gigs


also delta wouldnt outsell greenday in my opinion.

[Seven]

u sure swede?? i been to quite a lot of ent gigs and always get my tix thru ticketek.... unless theyve changed in the past 8 months? :confused:

[swede]

yeh they have changed over the last few months, i forget when the change came in, but thats why there are so many horden and superdome gigs now... its all through ticketmaster7

Green Day's concert was good. I liked it :)

I would still trek all the way to the Superdome if it was an artist/band I really enjoyed, even though it takes awhile to get there. Although, if I had a choice.. I'd rather the Entertainment Centre.. being so much closer and all.

[Hinny]

If I had a choice, I'd rather my own backyard. Failing that, Manning Bar is tops.

i would too, rather my backyard. :rolleyes:! if i had a choice between superdome and ent cent, then i wouldnt bother travelling so far to superdome..is whati meant :)

Yea thats apparently true... but we shall see once the DVD comes out.

And also, the Delta forum is having problems with its email system at the moment! Thats why your validation email hasn't come through. Its happening to current forum members too who have changed their email address recently.... I hope you can join soon! :)

I'm deltas_no1_fan03 on the Delta forum, by the way...

kate xx

[devil_soul]

i went and she was absolutley amazing! Vocally stunning, she look great and she gave on hell of a magical show! even though it was in a huge stadium it felt so intimate, and she really worked the crowd a treat!

ahes such an amazing person - so gifted. i learnt that the first time i met her in early 2003 and The Visualise Tour proved to me that she hasn't changed a bit!

can't wait for the dvd!!!!
