Over 200,000 tickets have been snapped up in just the first few days. All 14 North American shows have sold out plus \u2018house full\u2019 signs are already up for many other venues including London\u2019s Hammersmith Apollo and the iconic Olympia Theatre in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>Back home in Australia today\u2019s general public on sale saw all existing tickets sell out for eight shows in Kuranda, Brisbane, Hunter Valley, Sydney, Melbourne, Macedon Ranges, Canberra and Wollongong.\u00a0 Tickets are selling fast for all the other dates listed below &#8211; visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.midnightoil.com\/tour-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.midnightoil.com\/tour-dates\u00a0<\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frontiertouring.com\/midnightoil\" target=\"_blank\">www.frontiertouring.com\/midnightoil<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n<p>In response to this overwhelming demand, Midnight Oil and Frontier Touring announced immediately that Midnight Oil will play an extra Sydney and Melbourne show in November. Dates, venues, line-ups and on sale times for these two big extra shows are currently being finalised, with details to be announced within 48 hours via tour presenters Triple M and MAX plus the promoter and band websites. People who have missed out on Sydney and Melbourne tickets should therefore rest assured that they will soon have another chance to get tickets to experience Midnight Oil live in those cities!<\/p>\n<p>It was also revealed today that some good tickets have deliberately been withheld for each of the currently sold out Australian dates. These allocations will be released later this year as part of wide ranging efforts to frustrate scalpers.\u00a0 Anxious fans who have missed out so far should sign up to the\u00a0Frontier Members mailing list (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.frontiertouring.com\/signup\" target=\"_blank\">sign up here<\/a>) and\/or the Midnight Oil mailing list (<a href=\"http:\/\/midnightoil.us15.list-manage2.com\/subscribe?u=0014c1cf3aa00e7c18b86c048&amp;id=b63d50d937\" target=\"_blank\">sign up here<\/a>) to receive notifications about more ticket releases over coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile fans are explicitly warned NOT to buy potentially fake tickets from so called \u2018reseller&#8217; websites. Such unofficial ticketing companies may currently be legal and thus beyond the band\u2019s control but they typically charge grossly inflated prices and the band does not profit from, nor support, their re-sale activities. It should also be noted that the first actual tickets for the Australian dates on &#8220;The Great Circle 2017\u201d world tour will not be printed and mailed out until early August so any online scalpers claiming to be in possession of tickets before that time are knowingly misleading fans.<\/p>\n<p>Fans are formally advised to only buy tickets via the official outlets listed on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.midnightoil.com\/tour-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.midnightoil.com\/tour-dates\u00a0<\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frontiertouring.com\/midnightoil\" target=\"_blank\">www.frontiertouring.com\/midnightoil<\/a> and to keep an eye out for more official ticket releases over the months ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to keep up to date with all the tour news,
