Due to unprecedented demand, organisers of Mona’s winter festival Dark Mofo have announced a plan to increase capacity on two high demand, sold-out shows in Hobart this June.

.

In the first two days of ticket sales, Dark Mofo ticket sales exceeded 25,000 purchases, totalling more than $1.5 million in box office revenue, with 66% of those sold to interstate and international patrons. With hundreds of people on waiting lists for different sold-out shows, organisers are assessing ways to ease the troubled minds of those who missed out.

Venue changes have been announced for two sold-out shows: Laterne by Berlin Atonal June 21 and 22 and Borderlands on June 23 have both been moved to the larger capacity venue at MAC2 (Macquarie Wharf Shed No.2 on Hunter St, Hobart), and more tickets are now on sale to the waiting list and general public.

No action is required from people with tickets already issued. Ticket holders will receive emails containing replacement tickets in the coming days reflecting the venue change.
