Well one of the largest Rock bands of ALL time is heading back out on the road in October. AC/DC on the heels of the first studio release in 8 years, will take to the road to support black ice. There are a couple of things that you should keep in mind in regards to buying seats for this show. For one, this tour will do the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of what other tours have done this year. Most of the shows WILL sell out to 100% capacity crowds and WILL command good money in the secondary marketplace. There are a few reasons this will happen. One when was the last time you have said, "I am going to see one of the greatest rock bands of all time?" By the way New Kids on the Block do not count. The second is that the fan base of this band is a bit older and unlike many of us in the economy, they have some cash to spend on this show because this will be one of the only shows they will go to this year. And three the new CD, Black Ice, is VERY VERY GOOD. One more thing about their fan ba! se, there is more youth to them than you think. So the people with the cash to spend, may be taking their kids to this show as well to see, "Dad's Band" and that is cool.
Here are the CONFIRMED dates for the upcoming Tour.

Here is a Current update from the great site, Blabbermouth.....
* Chicago's Allstate Arena concert sold out in minutes forcing the second show to go on sale, which also sold out over the weekend.
* Both Madison Square Garden concerts sold out in minutes.
* Vancouver's General Motors Place concert sold out in 4 minutes, a record for that venue.
* San Antonio fans purchased more tickets in one day for AC/! DC than for any other artist in that market's history.
* Tickets for Toronto's Rogers Centre sold faster than any stadium concert in the venue's history.
Ok so now you know why it will sell out, you know the dates they will be playing and now you know the current update on the shows that are already on sale. So lets get right to the advice.
DON'T wait to buy tickets. If your local venue is SOLD OUT of if they are only offering seats that are behind the stage. Be agressive about buying them in the secondary marketplace. We recommend using www.broadwaykings.com due to the fact that they 100% GUARANTEE the lowest broker price.
Do NOT think this is the type of show that will get cheaper as it gets closer, IT WILL NOT. Set a budget and see if the secondary marketplace can meet your budget.
