WOOHOOOOOOO!!!! I'm going to the Grand Final, baby!!!
I got my ticket this morning. I shall never not pre-book again!

Delighted for ya mate! Knew you would make it to the big dance somehow!

Now it's just the nervous wait for the ticket to arrive! I think tomorrow I'll be ringing home about every 15mins going 'is it there yet?'

 

[Gets!]

Took about 150 times to call before I got through and well i can't believe I am going.

$110 for the ticket, $80 for the return bus fare free accomodation with cousins and well....can't ********ing wait.

Dunno mate my bro-in-law booked 'em but I would imagine they would all be gone by now.

Cheers Ray, it still hasn't sunk in properly yet. Are the tickets are being delivered on Tuesday or Wednesday? I thought Cornesy mentioned something about Wednesday on the radio this w/e. He probably meant BY Wednesday I guess.
It dont matter tho I'm going to the GF I can't believe it...and I have to take a day off work on Friday, does life get any better??

Did you have the option of more expensive tickets? Apparently we have got $140 seats, dunno where that places us. Not that it matters my first time to the 'G and it's a GF. Awwwwesome!!
Congrats on the tickets, Gets it's gonna be one hell of a day.

woohoo!!! tickets confirmed - off to Melbourne by car (4 of us) on Friday, back (with a hangover) on Sunday. Can't wait!!!

For anyone who's interested, when you do get your seats you can work out where you're sitting by looking at this PDF of the current seating plan at the MCG. Good luck everyone and may the best South Australian team win.

My tickets turned up at 8:10 this morning

6 rows from the front, right behind the behind post (pretty much exactly where my season tickets are )

Re: Airline Prices Suck

Get the Ghan??? Might as well walk.

Due to being self-employed, the extra cost of not being able to work, plus the inconvenience to my customers, makes any option other than a plane (or some fancy star trek type stuff) just not an option.

I'd love to throw the swag in the back of the hilux and mosey on down at 100kph.

We'll make up for you..........Darren, Jonesy, Ron and myself are heading down Thursday arvo/Friday morning and will be there for the parade and training on Friday.


There were quite a few people at Tracy Village late on Friday night ringing contacts to get tickets - now just have to find those winter clothes for down south.....

 

[_espoir]

Well...you all seem very happy


*sigh* .. Its more annoying that i cant afford to go (not able to get a ticket anyways)..... but i'm working so I won't even see the game live.

We're in the Heavens. Right up the top of the New Northern Stand to be exact. Good place to sit to watch the new premiers hopefully.

not after someone ran into it...

Plus... its part mine and part my mothers

What group were you in and when did you get through to Ticketmaster.......

 

[sog35]

Priority 3 I think and were pre-booked before 10am on the day we were able to I think.

All that matters is that I'm there surrounded by Teal.

 

[Ray Nolan]

So have tickets been delivered already then? I thought it was tomorrow at the earliest?

 

[sog35]

I think it may have been Wednesday at the latest, Tuesday likely. But given they had Saturday to work it out and Sunday to send em it doesn't surprise that they are here already,

Here's the MCG seating plan.

I'm a bit ********ed off to be behind the goals, but I see the AFL & MCC members that aren't supporting either side have all the prime wing space. Great.

Wicked, we're in a construction site.

There is a more update-to-date version floating round.

Do you know where you're sitting Porthos?

 

[Portia]

M3, I think.

Long after the cheering stops, and the bands stop playing, there'll be no memory of appalling seating arrangements, just the untainted recollection of our boys doing their lap of honour, high fiving to their hearts content. Then celebration. First since '96 - DROUGHT OVER!

It'll be great if I can see them do the lap of honour through all the flags that will undoubtedly regularly obscure my view during the course of the day.

I don't mind seeing masses of flags behind goal when I'm sitting on the wing. I don't relish being stuck behind them.

Thanks for that - our tickets were Priority 1/2nd opportunity and were purchased within 20 mins of the lines opening and only thing I know is that they were $130 each.

we'll find out tonight/tomorrow as our tickets are going to a mates place in Adelaide but yes it's will be great to be at another Port match with the faithful

I would sit behind a wall of 1000 flags just to be at the ground.
