So everybody's wondering, how do you get tix to the hottest underground bash-up this April, the MTV Australia Awards 2008?

The answer is, you gotta put a little into it! Money might buy you bling, but it aint gonna get you into the heady world of celeb, music, sport and pumping performances ...you might as well try and buy fame (come to think of it, hasn't half of Hollywood already done that...?)

But seriously, the way you're going to get tickets for this bash is like most things in life - through a bit of talent and a bit of luck. First, you can register online and get voting - six stoked people are going to score double tix to the show; one of them truly VIP style, complete with free flights to Sydney, deluxe 5 star accommodation, a red carpet appearance, a celeb-style limo and a rocking MTV prize pack. For all the details, just click here.

Second, you can enter a video in the Remake Award - and you're gonna score huge there, because if you win that one, you're not only going to get tickets, but mingle with the coolest acts of today on stage. Be prepared...you'll need to prepare an acceptance speech for that shiny MTV Australia Award!

Third way you can score tix is by comps run through some of our awesome partners. Keep an eye out and we'll let you know when these comps open - there are stacks of tickets up for grabs, so you won't be short of chances.

So get voting, and stay honed for the grittiest dig in Sydney town - you owe it to the world to be there!

Aussie bands such as Vines, Potbellez, Kisschasey are all performing this year. Like it not there are american influences in our pop culture landscape and the australia awards reflect the make of our pop culture. It would be extremely ignorant to assume that Australian culture (popular or otherwise) in not influenced by the europe, asia and especially America in some way. As for last year's awards there were a shitload of australian performers such as tv rock, dukes of windsor, sneaky sound system, silverchair, eskimo joe, toby rand, stephanie macintosh performed the Aussie performances clearly outnumber the international performances. This is not mentioning all the australian presenters and other Aussie talent ,production team, staff etc etc involved in the awards. MTV fucking rules! "

What more evidence do you need than reading the "we're so exclusive, we're too cool" crap on this page. A big fat disappointment after last year when they were smart and inclusive and threw open the doors to everybody at Acer Arena."
