WINNIPEG – Some extra tickets for the sold out AC/DC concert at Canad Inns Stadium Aug. 22 are expected to go on sale at 4 p.m. today.

According to local blog Chris D, the tickets will be priced at $69.50 and $99.50 plus fees at Ticketmaster.

There was no indication as to how many tickets are being made available.

An official with promoter Live Nation in Vancouver said the extra tickets are the result of the concert’s stage configuration being finalized.

“I can’t say how many,” Ian Low said, “but it’s a good number.”

The Austrialian rockers quickly sold out all 41,000 tickets for the Winnipeg gig on their Black Ice World Tour they went on sale in April.

An Aug. 7 stadium concert by rockers Aerosmith and ZZ Top was cancelled after Aerosmith frontman Steve Tyler was injured in a fall from a South Dakota stage.
