INXS ticket, Aston Villa Leisure Centre, 1993

Description

INXS ticket, Aston Villa Leisure Centre, Friday 16 July 1993.

The Get Out Of The House tour was marketed as being a return to the ‘pub tours’ of old. The idea was for INXS to take their music to the fans, playing in venues that were much smaller than they were used to. To generate more interest, ads and radio announcements were made stating only the city and date of each gig, with no mention of the venue. Two weeks before the tour, tickets were put on sale at the local HMV (in whichever city) with the shop opening at 8.30am and selling tickets on a first-come-first-served basis (with a maximum of two per customer). The venue would then be announced on local radio and in the Sun newspaper the day before the show.
