Australia's Britney Spears news source and fan home.
A short clip of what appears to be professional video footage from Britney’s Circus Tour, possibly for a DVD, has leaked.
Several shows were known to have been filmed for a DVD but were never released. It’s rumoured Britney’s team weren’t happy with how they were shot (angles etc), as well as several copyright issues that weren’t sorted out in time.
Looks hot to us! Let’s hope we get a little more sometime soon
Acer Arena will be sending out “Thank You” cards to all patrons who attended Britney’s record breaking “The Circus Starring Britney Spears” Tour in November 2009 in Sydney.
Britney Spears broke the record for concert ticket sales at Sydney’s Acer Arena with a total of 66,247 tickets sold across 4 nights. Britney Spears ticket sales exceed the previous record set by Coldplay in March 2009 when the record stood at 59,391.
Here is a preview of the flyer, which will be sent to patrons over the coming weeks.

Maybe Britney’s participating in Mo-vember?

EVEN if Britney Spears had delivered live vocals at the opening of her record-breaking stand at Sydney’s Acer Arena last night it would have been impossible for her to be heard over the crowd’s deafening roar of welcome.
After a week of controversy the Britney Spears Circus finally rolled into town and the capacity crowd seemed impressed.
They cheered and applauded when she arrived on and when she left the stage.
But in between, most sat or stood quietly.
It’s not that the Circus Show and the presence of Spears herself aren’t enough to enthral – they are.
But experiencing the show through the prism of too much knowledge was always going to lessen the impact.
The facts are that Britney did mime – with the exception of her performance of the ballad Everytime – and Australia has already witnessed two exceptional pop spectaculars recently, courtesy of Pink and Beyonce.
Our benchmark is high, as it should be.
Spears brought the hits, dancers and absolute visual extravaganza of the Circus performance, plus her own adorable wide grin.
But you could feel the disconnect between US star and local fans as she strutted and vogued rather than danced, lip-synched instead of singing and reprised her only greeting for the crowd:
“What’s up Sydney, how are you feeling?”
There was no doubt the fans were rewarded with a set list they wanted to hear after so many years of waiting and a peppering of spectacular moments to make them feel their loyalty was worth it.
Unfortunately for this reviewer all the Circus Show did was to remind me of the first moment my pop innocence was shattered – when I discovered Janet Jackson cried at exactly the same moment during every one of her concerts.
But the Spears fans, they will come in droves: Britney is on course to break Acer Arena’s record with 67,000 people expected to witness her four concerts in Sydney.

VIDEO: Britney fans mostly happy
The majority of Britney’s fans told us last night at Acer Arena they loved her first show in Sydney, despite 10-15 couple’s leaving after only half an hour.
After initial reports from members actually at the concert, and a radio station who reported that ’3′ was performed at Acer Arena in Sydney tonight, it has been found as all false.
’3′ was NOT performed tonight.
It has however been confirmed that there was some sort of recording equipment present for tonights show. We do not know if this was for the big screens or what. It was possibly for this purpose since Britney’s manager, Adam Leber has said that there will be no DVD – and Felicia Culotta (Brit’s Business Assistant) confirmed to gimmeBRITNEY that there would be no DVD as well.
Due to the fact that we cannot see how Acer Arena is setup, the big screens could very well be high definition in setup. So I wouldn’t get too excited over this.
We’ll do some digging, and if we find out anything new – we’ll let you guys know. We’ll also post the audio tomorrow from the radio station.
Hearing from sources that Britney just performed ’3′ at her Sydney show tonight and the performance audio was broadcast live on Fox FM.
UPDATE: Confirmed! Britney has just performed ’3′ for the first time at Sydney’s Acer Arena. The audio was broadcast live on The Hot 30 Countdown’s ‘Live Music Mondays’!
Sources are also saying “there are definitely HD cameras here and a big audio rig with recording equipment” – maybe Adam Leber just wanted to surprise us?
We’ll keep you updated!
UPDATE #2: Filming is 100% confirmed, but hearing conflicting reports on the ’3′ performance…we had confirmation via text of people supposedly in attendance and the Hot 30 said they were broadcasting it live. Not sure why people are now saying otherwise but we’re looking into it.
