We wanted to go as a family but the tickets were around $110 each, as much as I would of loved to see the show I think $440 for a night out is a bit out of reach for most people.

I have centre front row seats to the Perth concert. I really wanted to go to The Long Way To The Top concerts but wasnt financial enough that year - so I refuse to miss out this time !! Mum and I are going to relive our 70s and 80s youth together.

oh the website for the show and all the other Countdown stuff thats happening this year is www.countdown.com.au

Sounds great, but too expensive for us at the moment

Well mum and I thoroughly enjoyed the concert in Perth this week. Our front row seats werent central as promised by Burswood (but thats a very common problem with Burswood - false advertising basically) - we were to the far left of the stage.
I took some piccies and thought I would share some here:

Good Ole 55 !!

Ohhh a friend of mine was on the front row at the Newcastle and Brissy and Sydney shows - she said newcastle was the best cos the performers were all fresh and nervous !!!!

I hope the whole show has proven to be so popular that they do another one in a year or two. There were so many acts that could have joined the tour !!
