According to documents obtained by the ABC<\/a>, however, the Opera House issued the band with a damage bill totalling a whopping $18,488.80.<\/p>\n The report stated that damage occurred members of the crowd as well as performers \u201cwalked and stood\u201d on seats inside the Concert Hall.<\/p>\n The report further alleged \u201ccrowd surfing and uncontrolled audience interaction\u201d also took place at the April concert, with \u201cliquids [including wine] spilled across seating areas\u201d causing staining and more damage. (Whose idea, really, was it to book a band better known for their schtick than their actual music for such a beloved venue? You get what you pay for.)<\/p>\n In typical fashion, the band released a tongue-in-cheek statement about the incident.<\/p>\n \u201cTSIM would like to strenuously deny responsibility for any damage to the Sydney Opera House after their shows on Friday April 10 and Sunday April 12,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n Love Music?<\/p>\n Get your daily dose of metal, rock, indie, pop, and everything else in between.<\/p>\n \u201cTSIM do not know who is to blame, but we note that on Saturday April 11 Sir Donald Runnicles led the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in a dramatic performance of Mahler\u2019s \u2018Sixth Symphony\u2019 in the Concert Hall, featuring the legendary, pounding \u2018hammer blows of fate\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cEnough said.\u201d<\/p>\n Enough said indeed.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re so inclined, TISM\/TSIM\u2019s forthcoming tour will feature a \u201cradically different\u201d selection of fan favourites, \u201cbecause TSIM wants all your money,\u201d the press release jokes. Plus, fans can expect \u201call the other weird shit\u201d that typically goes on at their shows.<\/p>\n Tickets will go on sale at 11am on Monday, May 25th, following a pre-sale from 11am on Friday, May 22nd.
