VIC:Price spike as John Farnham tribute tickets go on sale

Premium tickets to a blockbuster charity tribute concert for John Farnham are selling for $1650, with fans voicing their disappointment.

Tickets for the gig at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena on September 20 went on sale on Tuesday, with the cheapest available seats priced at $179 by the evening and many more on sale for about $1000.

Farnham fans trying to buy tickets online have complained on social media about long virtual queues and having to pay more for expensive seats.

"Wow, who can afford that?" commented one Farnham fan online, while another described the cost as an absolute joke.

"Looks like dynamic pricing will be happening, which is awful considering it is a charity event," said another.

Farnham himself won't be performing at the gig, which is being held to raise funds for Head and Neck Cancer Australia.
