There is a fanclub presale, I have heard tell, but is there a mailing list presale?

Yes, there's a presale code, but you need to be a fan club member to have access to it.

I have got my ticket for the Melbourne show
Palias Theatre, Lounge area Row E seat number 45, it's a fantastic view I cannot wait,
the last and only time I have seen Sparks live was way back in 1975 at the Liverpool Empire UK. Would love try and get to the Sydney Opera House show but with flights, hotel , and ticket price it's a bit to much for me, but we will wait and see

aussie you beat my record of not seeing Sparks for such a long time. For me it was Croydon Fairfield Halls 1975 to Shepherd's Bush Empire London 2017. Have a great time in Melbourne, let us know how the gig went.

You both beat me...I was 1982 to 2022. It's not my fault! Sparks have not been in the Cleveland area since 1982. I finally gave up hoping and went out of state last year.

Sparks played the Corner Hotel Richmond Melbourne in 2001, but my wife who is now my X wife put the boot in and would not let me go, so now I will enjoy the Palais show even more

I only have one social media account, and that is Twitter (I won't use the other name). Sparks have released a blooper video from their "We're coming to Australia" promo. It's probably on Facebook and Instagram as well. If you have a Twitter account, check it out. It's funny and adorable, though (warning) Russell swears once.

Have you seen that conversation with Cate Blanchett that's just been released on their youtube page?

I literally overdosed on cuteness.

The Cate Blanchett interview is great. Ron and Russell act like fanboys whereas Cate Blanchett is in complete control of the situation. I've watched this 4 times since this morning.

Watching the conversation with Cate Blanchett has been the highlight of my day! Cate and the brothers spark off each other in such a hilarious way.
