Yes, not Australia but have bought tickets online before for gigs in France and New Zealand. No real difference in purchasing or receiving to buying for tickets in this country, Two were print at home, two were collect from venue box office. The only hassle was with the French gig - AC/DC in Nice - where everybody who'd ordered online for a gig in a football stadium, whether from abroad or domestically, had to collect physical tickets from one small box office with four counter staff on the day of the gig, resulting in a queue that took almost 2 hours to get to the front. That was four years ago, so I hope nobody does it like that any more.
The other collect from box office - Them Crooked Vultures in Wellington - was a breeze because that wasn't the only option and didn't have to be done on the day. I picked them up on my day of arrival in Wellington.
The only other very small negative side to it is having to register with a foreign ticket agent who you might not be using ever again or for many years. The gigs helped make my holidays in both cases.

Thank you sir. Have registered with 2 agencies, got the ubiquitous 'presale' codes, fingers crossed!

Foo Fighters! Well I luv 'em anyway.
I have a couple of their albums. It's always good fun seeing a band abroad though. Good work.

Good lad, although, I hope you aren't flying out specifically to see them, as they will definitely be playing london on their world tour!

No, I was already going to be there. Really looking forward to this as I think Wembley Stadium is gash as a music venue, just hope Melbourne is better.

The Foos at Wembley a few years ago was bloody brilliant.

The sound quality where I was sat was a real spoiler.
