I got an email from ITM regarding a competition for this and EVIL NINE have been added to the line-up (to replace Diplo perhaps?).

So who's actually promoting this? Or were they just going to bustle into town, put on a party and bustle out?

Got my ticket, stoked! Friggin expensive party but oh so worth it. (Yes I know, sydney and melbourne are more and there are big acts etc etc blah blah)

Eclipse can confirm this, but as far as I understand

Future Entertainment in Melbourne organise this around the country. It receives (some) funding from the Govt/Fringe as it is considered a fringe event, hence why they can afford to put it on in adelaide selling only 6 or 7000 tickets as oppose to 30000 in Syd.

Both HQ and Eclipse help promote the event 'on the ground' in Adelaide and help with the logistics (the Electric circus crew only do parklife with Fuzzy I believe). This would explain why HQ have a stage, and host the afterparty.

I just bought mine from eclipsetouring.com for 95+ booking fee. Does anyone know if this is the first round of tickets? Were they cheaper before and are they going to be more expensive later?

That's close enough. MPK who works at HQ is managing the on the ground promo this year and we did it all last year. This is very much in keeping with a HQ arrangement where they push the event at HQ with a launch party and screens adds etc in exchange for their own stage presence at the event etc etc.

We're just doing what we can as far as moving tickets for them, promoting it on the site and inviting them to have a large presence at any of our day or night events this year. We aren't doing any paid promotional work. I don't mean to create the impression of some great involvement in this years event by starting this thread. It's just we worked our arses off getting that crowd for last years show and very much believe we need to keep this ball rolling now in SA. It was just eating me up that something like that had been overlooked on a major forum for information and discussion like rave adelaide.

We have booking fee free tickets available on the site http://www.eclipsetouring.com and I'm happy to help anyone with info etc where I can, that'll be it for this year.

Was lucky to make it into the main stage at godskitchen melb several years ago to see Eddie Halliwell Rock the house and have the whole room scream when he dropped, redropped and scratched over the top of 'loops n tingz'. one of my top 5 rave moments.
looking forward to seeing him for sure.
