Buy your Coca Cola Zero Fest ticket in bulk and save!
By JBagley on Feb 26, 2009 in Announcements
Big Concerts are offering discounts on the general admission tickets until the 27th of March. If you buy 3 tickets, you will only pay R325 per ticket, and if you buy 5 tickets, it will cost R300. So you saving R50 and R75 per ticket respectively!
3 tickets = R325 per ticket (R50 saving)
5 tickets = R300 per ticket (R75 saving)
So head on down to a Computicket branch and grab your cheaper tickets!
Below is the full press release from Big Concerts.
Dear Music Lovers,
By now we hope that you’ve heard that Oasis, Snow Patrol, Bullet for My Valentine, Panic at the Disco, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Zebra & Giraffe, Cassette, aKing (CPT only), Dirty Skirts and Foto na Dans are playing the Coca-Cola Zero Festival in Johannesburg on the 10th April 2009 and in Cape Town on the 13th April 2009.
That is 10-hours of music from some of the world’s top rock royalty and if this hasn’t taken your breath away then how about these amazing specials for those fans who are feeling the economic pinch this year – If you and 2 of your friends buy your general admission tickets together you’ll only pay R325 per ticket, a saving of R50 per ticket! BUT wait that’s not all… If you are very popular and you and 4 of your friends buy your general admission tickets together you’ll only pay R300 per ticket, a saving of R75 per ticket! To take advantage of this offer you need to go to any Computicket outlet before the 27th March 2009 so hurry to avoid disappointment.
Clearly ticket sales are slow this year… Why else would they give volume discounts. Perhaps ticket sales are slow BECAUSE THE LINEUP SUCKS ASS!

@WTF – I could not agree more. Why could they not give discounts for the GC?
The concert is now 10 and not 12hrs long, so that means their wont be any other bands that will be added to the list of crap.
I feel such an idiot that I have purchased my GC tickets already. Going to the CF every year is nornally part of a birthday treat for my daughter, but I could just as well have given her the money to blow on whatever she wished.

This announcement is wrong – if you read it PROPERLY for the 2nd “special” its you AND 4 of your mates, therefore its:
3 tickets = R325 per ticket (R50 saving)
5 tickets = R300 per ticket (R75 saving)

I think the fact that they are discounting the tickets already is indicative of the fact the bands announced so far is the entire line-up. They have realised that tickets are not flying out with the current lineup so they are trying to get more people there. Hang onto your bucks for now…it might get even cheaper closer to the time.

You should read the release properly, it is a gesture from Big Concerts to those fans that are feeling the economic pinch and it is only valid until the end of March.
If they wanted to get more people there they would give tickets away for free.

@JT – yeah, you keep telling yourself that, buddy. Economic pinch my ass – Coke misjudged the target audience completely when they chose Oasis. Plain and simple.

You bought 6 tickets to this piece-of-shit show? Why?

@WTF – balk in your own glory as much as you want… ever thought what will happen if Coke, Big Concerts and 5FM decide to show you and SA fans the door on the only rock festival in SA… won’t be so funny then would it?
How about this equation? No support – no festival, let’s play Counterstrike with our friends EVERY weekend and never ever get the opportunity to see ANY rock bands in SA ever again.

@JT – “what will happen if Coke, Big Concerts and 5FM decide to show you and SA fans the door on the only rock festival in SA”?
Sorry to break it to you mate, that already happened when they announced Oasis as the headline act for this year.
Counter strike it is then. If I want to see proper music I suppose I have to pay for a flight to the US then.

Just a question to the orginizers – what’s the whole meaning behind the poll every year if you ending up getting bands that the majority of the people don’t like. . not very smart.
Put Korn, 30 Seconds & Muse (2008) against Bullet, Snow Patrol, Oasis (2009) – EPIC FAIL!!

What beats me, is the new MD at Coke thinks these bands are excellent (except BFMV of course). I think he has rock and roll confused with rock.
Besides the shitty bands, the concert is no longer 12hrs, but 10.If any of the crap bands are playing last I can picture only a few people staying,unlike the previous concerts when nobody really wanted to leave.
