Was it the wiggles that came last week? Or was that just dorothy's dance party? I was sure someone said it was the wiggles?
It must have been all those e-mails i sent
lol - we travelled to sydney for their last concert, such a long trip for half an hour! BUT well worth it too lol - they are fabulous and so down to earth!

It was the Dorothy Dance Party Han. DD went with MIL, and has been telling me 'with Nan' everytime she sees Dorothy and the others.
Oh Yay!! Another one here who sent emails to them. I am very glad to see the message got through that we do want to see the Wiggles in Canberra!

I emailed The Wiggles a heap about their lack of a visit to Canberra ... seems like all of us unknowingly banded together and convinced them that they do have fans here. 
So what time is everyone going to try for - 10am or 1pm?

DD turns one in Dec. Is that too young do you think? She already loves watching their DVD's!
one is not to young what a good birthday gift i know i'm going as hannah is two in dec
purpleoj, if she turns 1 after the date of their show then she'll get in for free (and you'll only have to pay for yourself). I had an opportunity to take DS when he was 1yo but didn't and have regretted it ever since as he would have loved watching them (from the safety of my lap no doubt).
and i'm going to the 12.30pm show
For everyone's info:

Thanks for that gollygar, she will already be one though. Do you know how much tickets are?
A Reserve tickets are $30 and B Reserve are $25.
Purpleoj given that your DD is small for age I would just buy the one ticket . They dont actually ask or anything

I agree with Carol ... if your DD looks under 1yo then don't worry about a ticket. They're hardly going to ask you for a birth certificate at the door and more than likely she'll be sitting on your lap for the show anyway.
BTW we'll be trying for the 10am show ... DS won't be so tired that time of the morning (he can have an afternoon nap if he's worn out and be right as rain for dinner).

Carol - I like your way of thinking! I'll be there, probably aiming for the morning show.
YAH! Thanks for the info!
I won't be paying for DD#2 either and she turns one a few weeks before the concert.
I paid for DD1 to see Hi-Five at 16 months and it was such a waste as she sat on my lap the whole time anyway.
When I took her she wasn't walking yet and the guy was surprised I had a ticket for her. He said they don't even ask if a child isn't walking yet.
I think it should be under 18 mths free, but that's just my opinion.

Remember that you cant take prams into the venue at all. When I took my 2 last time they came I wore Brielle in a Hugabub, that way who would know even if they are walking 
. You can always take them out of the carrier once you are inside if either of you are uncomfy.

After our Hi-5 fiasco I dont know If I should take Maddy. I might buy the tickets and ask her as it gets closer (she will be 3 and a half then). I guess I could always sell them if she decided she didnt want to go.
Good idea Shelly. I will have to brain storm with you before the tickets come on sale so that we can get tickets together.

YAY!!!! Cooper has just started becoming interested in the Wiggles - dancing around and stuff when I put on the DVD
Savannah will be 5 by then, do you think the concert will be too young for her?

I'll try for the 10am show too. Have put it i my diary. Hi-5 was a disaster with DH last year, but both boys have been to a few more shows in parks etc since then and have more of an idea what's going on. I often get away with Shea being under 3 still
Oh bugger! I will be back at work by then. Wonder what the last day of school year is this year? I may have to organise day off for this!!
I dont think it is fair to steal from The Wiggles, if your child is 1 a day or a month before the show - you should pay.
They wont come back and that would kinda suck.

Last day of school will be either the thursday 20th or Friday 21st of Dec. Not sure I could handle 3 kids on my own so will have to have a think.
I know someone who'll be pretty happy about this!!
Thanks ladies
But now I can't see it on the Ticketek website or the Wiggles website. What am I doing wrong?

Just do a search at the top for "The Wiggles" ... the result will show both Melbourne and Canberra.
HTH.
HTH.
I'm having trouble too trying to find the details. My Ticketek search only shows Melbourne. 
What's the trick, ladies???

look on the drop down selection for location ...

Hmmm...do you think someone from Ticketek made an early release mistake? You heard it first on the ACT Boards!!!
At least we an all pencil in the ticket sales and the conert dates before anyone else!!

I would say it was a mistake ... a good one for us.

It's not exactly stealing if they're not taking up a seat.
I paid for a seat for dd when she was just one- which was a total waste of money cause she didn't use it -she wanted to be on my lap.
it's back on the ticketek website this morning
I missed the last time The Wiggles came to Canberra (was off protesting at a single father's conference while the ex took DS because he didn't buy Me a ticket too) and after 3 years of non-stop music I reckon it's time to see them in person!
ok as it is coming close to buying the tickets i just went and looked at the web site and they are gone i can't find them any where so i just sent off a e-mail to ask about it if anyone can see it on there can you tell me.
ok got a e-mail from the wiggles web site just now and it said that tickets go on sale on MONDAY 2 JULY AT 9AM
Cool! I had it in my diary for 12th June still.
About time!
Except that my DS will be 5 by then. He'll probably have out grown them. Do you think five is too old???????
I was so hoping they would have copme last year!

Um, given that when I announced the Wiggles forthcoming Canberra concert at the dinner table last night *all* of my children wanted to go, I'd say not too old at all
!
Totally agree with PP - I'm wondering whether to take my two boys!
Oh cool. Will put it in my diary
Updated information on the Wiggles Tour to Canberra in December. Tickets go on sale on the Ticketek site on 2 July 2007. Further information available from the Wiggles website.

Thanks - I'd been meaning to check if it was the 12th or 2nd. $30 / $25 isn't too bad either.
Excellent
So I'm guessing that 'Hot Potato Seats' are up the front for dancing?
