That'ss what I used to do when BDO went above $120 per ticket. 3 X $40 side shows was a better investment IMO.

Those Download tickets make Splendor look reasonably priced. That's a worry.
Actually I just checked, and...

A) the side shows aren't even in Sydney. Download must demand exclusivity in their contracts.

B) the tickets for Deftones are $100, which is also ridiculous. So you'd only get 2 sideshows.

Thankfully I've seen all the bands on that lineup that I like in their prime. So I'll save my money. But I feel for any kids coming through wanting to see live music. Gotta take out a personal loan just to go see a few bands.
