Fans of music legend John Farnham have been left frustrated as tickets to a gala tribute concert were snapped up despite the cost.
The charity event at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena on September 20 sold out within hours of going on sale Tuesday, with premium tickets priced at $1650.
Fans complained online of waiting in virtual queues of more than 30,000 customers only to miss out on tickets, while others described the pricing as atrocious.
"Sorry but the prices were ridiculous, $1700 a ticket is outrageous," said one Farnham fan.
Others speculated the singer himself would not approve of the situation.
"He would not be pleased with the pricing of this concert. Only the privileged few could afford to attend... it was appalling the way the ticketing has been handled."
