**** man you guys really need to stfu and whinge about something else. Who really cares if he is the first person to play there. The news will say that 65000+ people packed into the opening event of the new perth stadium, it wont say that a good 30,000 people turned out to see some decent yesteryear bands who were brought out of retirement to play a gig for a bit of patriotism.
ed sheeran, although not to your taste or my taste, is highest ever opening sale for a male artist in the world. there will be 2-3 acts on, and pretty much every single school girl will be begging their parents to buy them a ticket.
i hope demand outstrips supply and he has to put on a second date, in the same stadium, and goes close to selling that out. then you can take your ridiculous whinge elsewhere and enjoy the fact that when you turn up to watch West Coast for the first time, along with me and 59,998 other fans, it will be the first time we've seen a game of footy in the new stadium, and we can enjoy it for the purpose it was built for.
You're really showing your small minded bunbury mentality here of 'lets have a small show that gets noticed in perth rather than a big show that potentially reaches the news through the whole of the UK and the whole country.'
