AC/DC Scalpers Reap Massive Profit On eBay

May 25, 2009

Daile Pepper of WAtoday.com.au reports: The mad scramble for AC/DC tickets has continued on the Internet, with passionate Australian fans paying scalpers hundreds of dollars for the chance to attend.

Two tickets, which this morning sold for AUD $150 each through Ticketmaster, attracted bids of AUD $850 only hours after they went on sale this morning.

The legendary rockers' first "Black Ice" show at Subiaco Oval on March 6 sold out in seven minutes this morning, prompting the band to announce a second Perth show, which has now also sold out.

Two extra concerts have been added in both Sydney and Melbourne after the first sold within 10 minutes.
