The Wiggles snub Bendigo

01 Feb, 2012 10:26 AM
BENDIGO has missed out on a place in The Wiggles latest tour celebrating the return of original yellow Wiggle Greg Page.

Th e Wiggles latest show will celebrate not only the return of Greg Page but 20 years of performing to children around the world.

"I’m excited to be back with my friends and to be entertaining our incredible fans again,” said Page, who left the group five years ago due to an illness.

The Wiggles latest live concert will hit the following towns:

Frankston;

Morwell;

Geelong;

Shepparton;

Ballarat;

Mild ura;

Canberra;

Melbourne;

S ydney;

Chatswood;

Penrith;

Central Coast;

Brisbane;

Adelaide.

Tickets go on sale February 14.

Thanks Wiggles. No I really mean it. Thanks. I was not looking foward to it if they came to Bendigo. Hypo kids all over the place including mine. Thats less hair I will lose this year.

Who would support this money-hungry group after the way they treated the 'salaried person'? Disgraceful.

@Ian All Aussie bands are doing it these days. I bet the wiggles got the idea from INXS who did the same thing not that long ago to their lead singer JD Fortune. Now they have some no named wanna be Bono who can't hold a note.

At least Greg is the original wiggle.

As for Bendigo missing out i don't blame them i wouldn't want to come here either.

they have been here for the last three years, so I think it is only fair that they share it around and go to other regional centres like ballarat and mildura and the like. We think it is half the fun going to Melbourne to see the Wiggles, it is not like it is far to go to Melbourne to see them.

This issue seems to be a "hot potato"

@ Will - Ballarat is closer (but harder to get to by public transport). But we are in Bendigo and therefore rivals with them.

I think from these comments Australians don't appreciate what a force The Wiggles are for educating your children and making them happy.

This "money-hungry" group has worked tirelessly for 20 years to provide entertainment & education for the children of the world. They support numerous charitable organizations. Even if they made a behavioral mistake, they are human, and everyone including YOU makes mistakes. They did nothing wrong.....they are allowed to choose their employees & would naturally choose a good fit. That person is Greg, and not Sam, who has received more than enough compensation. Greg deserves every success and happiness. He is the heart of The Wiggles. They didn't snub anyone as they've come the last 3 years!

Maybe the Big Red car needs servicing that day?

"Toot Toot Chugga Chugga Big Red Car we'll travel here and we'll travel Far ". Apparently not as far as Bendigo.
