There will also be selected reduced price tickets for A Day on the Green winery concerts including Sting and Paul Simon.
Frontier’s Michael Gudinski said the sale is an experiment as well as a thank you to punters.
“Live concerts have become such a big part of people’s lives of all age groups,” Gudinski said.

“This sale is all about the fans. We’d like to think we’re a fan-friendly company. We’ve put on some very limited tickets to shows by Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith which have been sold out for ages.
“And we’ve heavily discounted certain shows, and it’s not just nose bleed seats, there’s some good seats across a cross section of concerts in all different states.”
Gudinski said the offer was also an antidote to buying cheap tickets online which turned out to be scalped or forgeries or relying on secondary ticket selling sites.
“I’ve seen too many instances of people buying a ticket to a show online and being disappointed and losing their money.”
