Palace have some grunt right through. Was going to be tricky on their pitch.
Anyone getting tickets to Brisbane or Adelaide?
Will be trying for Brisbane, as although MCG was an amazing experience with so many people, you are so far away at Cricket Grounds. Suncorp should be awesome.
Was going to Adelaide but ran the sums and unfortunately we're out this time around. Money for the kitchen instead

Yeh, I was in the same boat.
Early stages of planning a Europe Trip in October/November. Was debating whether or not to hold out and put $$$ towards that. But, figured I would get some crazy jealousy if I didn't try, can always do some Overtime to get some $$$.
Bit annoyed they didn't advertise the Price of tickets before the sale...But not to worry.
Flights from Newcastle to Brisbane return - $200 pp (with $40 of extras per person, incase I didn't get tickets)
Accom. - $200 for 2. ($100pp) at a reasonable hotel.
Tickets - $90pp
All up about $400pp, so not too bad
That's not bad! We have the little dude so had to add on a car and try and find a baby sitter for the evening too in a strange place...just not happening this time. Kinda gutted but I know this is the right decision.

I'll be in the kop in Brisbane. Wanted to go to both but couldn't take that much time off work so Brisbane is the go
We are going to the uk in October so need to save too but I just got backpackers ($88 for 2 nights with secure parking and only about 500m from suncorp) so $185 each with the ticket and 3 of us driving up so petrol won't be that much. Melbourne was so awesome I just couldn't miss this
Doing Adelaide here....just keen to see the new stadium and watching Josip in action will be more interesting.
I would've preferred to see the game against Adelaide. But the cricket ground really turned me off it. The MCG was good as the atmosphere and 90,000 singing YNWA made up for the shitty views. I was at the end opposite the KOP and I was a good 50-70 metres away from the goals. The sides were no better. So I decided an actual stadium would be a good option especially as the capacity of both are similar.
Regardless, both should be excellent experiences.
Out of curiosity how much are you paying for flights/accomm, roughly, if you don't mind my curiosity.
Not rushing - five months away yet. Will do due diligence and try to find a bargain.
Did check out the prices for tickets today. Wasn't that interested but thought I would have a sticky
****ing scandalous really.
World Cup games were cheaper than a pre season friendly that will not be paid at full tilt
FFS
So don't go then.
There's 64 games in a World Cup.
They are playing 2 games in Australia.
Supply and demand and all that.
Supply and demand??
Supply for the vast majority of WC games does not meet demand.
How anyone can justify $200 for a Cat 1 seat defies belief. The Asian Cup Final was not that dear.
Call a spade a spade. They are ripping people off.
Just cause demand is there doesn't mean you need to fleece people
If they sell out then that's your justification.
Pretty simple really.
that's quite good business
get 2 sell 1 for $400 then you be rollin and probably guilt free
That's not even a joking matter.
As for tickets to big football games you always hand them on at face value. A genuine football fan will look after his brothers so one day karma will come back and help him out.
Its a dog act to profit at other football fans expense
WC Ticket trades.
I played a fair game and got looked after as a result.
When it came to my turn to share the love I reciprocated.
I had a couple of opportunities to profit and chose not to and on sold at face value
KARMA etc
Meh.
Are they taking advantage over their fans, maybe, probably.Yes, it's expensive.
So is going to watch a movie at Gold Class compared to normal.
Going to see your favourite band play, is more expensive, than if you were to see 10 x bands at a festival.
To some people it's worth it. So be it. I'll enjoy my night in Brisbane. That's all that really matters to me. I imagine the other 54, 999 people at Brisbane and 55, 000 at Adelaide will as well.
To others, they won't think it is worth it, they won't buy tickets, they won't go, that doesn't matter to me. They have their reasons.
But they don't need to, they want to.
Why?
Because they can, and making money off such tours helps them reach FFP obligations.
It's all platini's fault
