I'm glad they're giving other cities the chance to see it this time instead of Sydney.

Gives me longer to forget how disappointed I am when I see it, in time to get tickets the next time it comes around.

I went last year and considering the cost of the tickets I was a bit mmmmmm....underwhelmed. I expected a more lively show and expected more than a whole 80 minutes. I love my Top Gear but I won't be lining up for another go round any time soon. I hope they pick up their game this year for you guys.

I got my tickets this morning for Melbourne. Had to get tickets for the saturday lunch show to be able to get the paddock pass. All the other shows had no paddock passes available. And this was logged in to the ticktek website at 9am, with in 10mins most of them had sold out.

$490 each?? l love TG but that is simply outrageous, there is simply no justification for that other than obviously they have enough takers to get away with it.

We paid 129 each for the tickets for platnium and 20 each for the paddock pass. The gold seats were 239 each and i thought that was expensive.

Tickets have been on sale for a few weeks already through various pre-sale events. Probably why all the paddock passes are gone. I know I got mine back around the 20th of October for Sat 8pm with Pass.

I went last year and was a bit dissapointed, it was a good show but I think the problem was that after doing 4 or 5 shows a day the jokes and banter was a bit stale. Not a lot of cars on display and not even one Aston Martin for me to walk around and drool on I love Top Gear but I wont be going again, I'll stick to the TV show.
