V Essendon at Etihad

[royalsfan]

Help required!
I'm flying over for the Essendon game and need four tickets.
I tried Ticketmaster today but they are only offering Level 3 seats.
I rang the club but their allocation of 800 has been exhausted. They suggested ringing Ticketmaster. We did but they couldn't offer much help. Evidently Etihad management release seats in blocks. Ticketmaster could not tell us when the blocks we are interested in will be available. We want Level 1, Aisle 18 - 23.
Does anyone have any experience of booking at Etihad? Any knowledge of when the blocks are usually opened? In the past we have usually waited until we get to Melbourne to book General Admission but we really want to sit with Eagles supporters.

Speaking as a Victorian member, the Bombers' mid-season resurgence really killed any chance of getting a good seat after the first week of sales. Etihad treat away members/AFL reserves seat holders (Which is what Victorian Eagles members have access to) like s**t so there's a piss poor pool of tickets to get access to.

I'm also going over, but I'm hoping there are a few spare seats on level 2 me and my mates can sneak into.

My experience at Ethiad over the years, especially against the Scum has been nothing short of horrible. * the Scum and their shithead supporters. Sorry for not adding anything constructive but I do feel better now

No you are right they are the worst supporters i've dealt with living over here and going to games, makes Pies supporters look positively angelic.

The one good thing this year though is i don't need to pre book a ticket for the game, even though i have an Eagles membership over here, and pay a booking fee to the campaigners, like in the past.

You should have been at the game last year when their supporters were milling around outside the stadium pre game , handing out pamphlets outlining why James Hird was a God and what their club should dictate to the AFL about the PED fiasco!

They honestly believe they are special that lot. Was happy to see so many of them leave at during the early stages of the last quarter! Hope we repeat the effort this year.

Sorry nothing about tickets.

I know you won't want to leave it late but yeah on the Wednesday before the game they usually release a heap of level one seats (you will easily get one near the West Coast cheerquad around aisle 24/25 etc will costs around $40-$50

Eagles v. Magpies are the games I look forward to the most. Seems the stereotypical feral Collingwood supporters have all grown up or moved on to other teams.

Thanks for that. We are flying on Thursday so will take your advice and try on Wednesday.

We managed to get tickets in Aisle 20 Level 1. Very happy with them.
WCE Melbourne office were very helpful as were Ticketmaster (after we were timed out, we rang and the young man on the line did the booking for us).

Cant you just walk up and buy tickets? We did when we went in 2010. Or was it easy because both teams were s**t back then?

[Biggie]

We win this I believe we'll play finals.

* me, I wouldn't have said that 2 weeks ago, hell even 5 hrs ago

And I hope to God this isn't 2009/10 again...
