AC/DC surpasses sales record by selling over 320,000 tickets in a single day for upcoming Australian tour

AC/DC have smashed previous records after 320,000 fans scored seats on the first day of ticket sales last Thursday.
The iconic rock band eclipsed their previous sales record, surpassing sales for the Black Ice World Tour in 2009.
AC/DC will tour Australia for the first time in a decade, performing in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane through November and December 2025.
Melbourne-based punk outfit Amyl and the Sniffers are confirmed as their Australian support act as part of their global POWER UP tour.
The award-winning band will begin their Australian leg at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on November 12 and 16, followed by concerts at Sydney's Accor Stadium on November 21 and 25.
They will also play at the Adelaide Street Circuit for the BP Adelaide Grand Final on November 30, followed by shows at Perth and Brisbane in December.
There are still tickets available on Ticketek in the upper bays of stadiums starting from $203, with premium tickets on sale for more than $400.
Ticket prices start from $132.45 for reserve seating and $305.75 for general admission front standing.
A ticket limit of 8 per transaction is enforced.
Ticketek is the official provider for shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Brisbane.
Tickets for Adelaide are only available for official purchase via Ticketmaster.
In addition to the tour announcement, Melbourne City Council has indicated it will seek permission for the band to recreate their iconic 1976 'It's a Long Way to the Top' music video, originally filmed on Swanson Street.
AC/DC will conclude performances across the United States and Europe, where early tour legs starting in May 2024 have drawn strong crowd numbers and critical acclaim.
The band sold 1.7 million tickets in the first few days when their 2024 European shows went on sale.
The last time AC/DC rocked on home shores was at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium in December 2015, as part of their Rock or Bust World Tour.
Ticketek were the biggest winners last Thursday with over 370,000 tickets sold in a single day.
This set a new all-time high with daily sales surpassing a previous record set by The Ashes Tour in the beginning of June.
Additionally, Ticketek traded almost 50,000 tickets to other events including AFL and NRL fixtures.
'These results are a reflection of the collaboration, passion, and sheer effort from every part of our business. I'm incredibly proud of what the team has accomplished,' Cameron Hoy, Ticketek Entertainment Group's Head of Global Ticketing, said.
