Melbs Trip

Drink lots of water & take some metamucil, that always works for me.

Wonder how early i'll have to get tickets? Not sure how many the away bit fits but it isn't very big

Not taking any chances, got my tickets for the Victory game (even though I doubt if we could sell out even the smallish away section).

Section 12, P140-141. Pax 781 & 782. Quite exciting.

Heart's tickets not on sale yet.

Section 12, P 137, PAX 783 (tickets flying out the door for this one by the looks of it!!!)

Doesn't seem to be any tickets available for the Heart game yet, only the Victory.

Anyone else had any luck with Heart tickets?

No. I've tried a few times over recent days.

I'm guessing they wanted to push as many folk as possible into taking up memberships or just the first game (that was the only option available) rather than picking and choosing games. Or maybe they hadn't got their sh*t fully together.   

I reckon they will be available soon.

Count two more in for the Heart game.  We booked flights when the draw came out.. just need to get our tickets when they go on sale.. kelhuntley2010-08-14 20:07:13

Has anyone managed to get Heart tickets yet?  I still can't see them available on the ticketek website..

No. Not there yet. Heart seem to have a "next match (or next two matches) at a time" ticket availability policy. Should go on sale this week if the pattern of recent matches is to be followed.

I'll undoubtedly post on here when I get mine (ie, they are available for sale).

they go on sale on Thursday 9th

The way the Heart's crowds are going there will probably be more Nix supporters than Melbourne that game

Mods, any numbers on people corfirmed??

I am a lot keener now that Kellhuntley is going.

Last time I went to an away game was Sydney in season 2. There was heaps of talk about where to meet before the game, is someone going to organise somthing like that again?

Bound to be. I also went to the season 2 game in Sydney. 2-1 win, superb time.
Did season 3 at Gold Coast as well (0-0).

Heart tickets not for sale just yet, but Victory tickets have just been discounted to $20 a pop (Ticketek just rang me - wee refund there). Blue September special it appears.

Back to original question. Where will the Melbs drinking hole be? I seem to recall the Charles Dickens getting a bit of support in the past. Or should we have something closer to the new home ground? What is it to be YFers?

Heart tickets are finally on sale!
We are definitely keen to meet up before the game...

I got a call from the nice laydee from Teekeetek in Oz and she advised that ticket prices had dropped ($27 down to $20) and they were refunding the difference. She tried to set up a refund onto credit card, but that involved getting new tickets issued and pick-up at venue etc (if I'm a bit 'fired-up' that = risk!), so instead she said that I could keep my original tickets go to Window F (near gates 1,2 & 3) and get my refund (showing original tickets). I suggest that you can do the same. Only $7 per ticket, but that's a beer or two.

I presume I got contacted as I have done all the registration, incl contact details, on Oz Ticketek when I got tickets for Sydney match a couple of seasons back.

Ticket for Heart game purchased as well. PAX 2351.

Interesting (though probably not) that the away section is a completely different aisle for each game

See you all there (and probably at a pub somewhere before/after the games)

Ticket for Victory game. Pax:4024 armchaircritic2010-09-11 16:42:58

Tickets for Heart game also now purchased. Still in Row A, Pax 2425/2426.

Going like not particularly hot cakes.

Got PAX 2448 for Heart, and 4153 for Victory.

meeting at the big bar in the squar that starts with T where we went befor the nz v aust match at 5 come join us for a drink!

Transport Bar in Federation Square

When we went to Transport pre and after all whites they wouldn't let some in because they were dressed "Too Casual" - aka. They were in Sports apparel. Ridiculous.

Transport pre-game - what sort of time you guys have in mind?

And is that for both games??

Both games? Why not? Keep it simple (unless we have a bad experience on the Wednesday)

4:30 onwards in Wednesday (won't make that time myself as I have some work commitments)

Midday onwards on Sunday?

After-party's tba!capes2010-09-13 21:17:18

This is going to be great.  Flew up to Sydney to watch the game there with my brother which was an amazing thing.

To be there on Wednesday going nuts will be amazing too.... Can't wait.
Good opportunity to get on the TV twice in one week!

Transport Bar it is then.

We'll be coming, we'll be coming, we'll be coming on a plane!

Mega Jealous.

Mrs Turfmoore into the mile high club!

Not likely! Flying alone. Take what you will from that!

Although will be joined by son in Melbourne (hence legit use of "we"). So family bonding in a slightly different way than that suggested KiwiHatter.   

Flying this PM (QF something or other). Might see someone on the plane I recognise!

"I'm going there on a QANTAS Charter Flight"

Excellent, glad we have rendezvous organised, it's going to be epic.
