AFC Asian Cup Australia 2015 - Newcastle Hosting

[evolution]

Not being 100% certain where Bay 41 is and couldn't be arsed looking it up but Row A indicates fence line and assumption from me is lower tier western stand?? and the new you beaut benches instead of the Bunnings chairs may mean you would see shit

Bay 41 is dead smack behind the goals on the Southern Hill. Probably has to do with the advertising boards or the fact the goals themselves block the rest of the field from view.

[lquiquer]

not sure what your point is - last night they had an 18000 crowd, fair proportion of whom were chinese, but apparently the ambassador bought 3000 tickets and gave them away. stands were half empty behind the goals...

Talking about TV.....TV footage, does not look good in a semi when behind goal posts it's grass area and half empty!!!!!...... FFS we r now in the 21st century, hill and grass area are from prehistory time

Yeah looks that way, that's a bit ****in shit. Will be sitting on the grass if I can't see

Sponsors and the AFC head honchos on the junket I would have thought would have been out in force for what was a blue chip match.

There were also plenty available in the corners and in the stand the Main TV Camera was located on.

Now assuming a few got legitimate reasons ie they died or missed flight to Brisbane or something else for no showing the amount of empty seats would indicate they called it as sold out early when it were not really sold out

i reckon they are there, just out the back gorging on the free booze and food.

Anyone know why the "restricted" seats are restricted view? I bought my tickets months ago and am in Bay 41 row A for 3 v 4, and Bay 41 row C for the semi. Some **** from ticketek rang me the other day and said the seats for 3 v 4 are restricted view so they moved me to bay 60 but mentioned nothing of the semi. Is it cause of those stupid ****ing advertising fences that sit a few metres inside the normal fence?

it will be interesting having to sit in a ticket seat.

has anyone sat in their own seats yet?

I did for Japan v Palestine, it wasn't too bad, we were just behind active support. Bought those tickets the night before the game though

[leftrightout]

How was that mazey run by Omar in the first half, that kid has so much skill. He really looks like he is going to be some player with a bit of experience. Some euro clubs are surely going to be throwing money at him.

Did for the first half of Japan v Palestine. As it looked a turkey shoot moved to the northern hill the second half to get close to the action

At Suncorp the other night I was on the 40m area/centre circle(end Korea Scored) 5 rows back on the upper deck so had pretty great seats so need to move

Dam, would have liked Iran to fall into the quarter final against Japan. One of the biggest would go before semifinal time.

UAE the jets of the Asian cup. 60% possession, 500 completed passes to about 200 for Iran and yet still less balls into the area and less shots at goal hahaha

Looking at temporary seating behind goal posts.....thank god for that!!!!

Omar juygfterdrfbhjknjkk;llkjhgfhjkb goes well for UAE

Ah, remember those heady days of 2010 when we thought we actually had a shot at getting the World Cup?

Money was going to flow in and major upgrades would happen.

There was even talk of replacing the ATCO sheds.

Good times ... good times.

Nice touch but after dealing with the ethics of ticket swapping/sale for the WC mate you are more than entitled to get cost back.

That is the ethically fair position on the subject and you don't have to undersell it to part ways with it.
I think you will find if it is Australia V Japan you will have no issues getting cost anyway which you are more than entitled to

Not going to hold people ransom for a once in a lifetime opportunity.

And for those interested it's still available although there has been plenty of interest with two firm bids (geez I feel like this is Football Manager)

Newcastles semi final has officially sold all of the currently available tickets. One would think even if the socceroos lose to China, it would still seem beneficial to set up temporary seating considering the number of Chinese nationals that showed up in Canberra from sydney.

Regardless of who is playing, this should happen. I think it will too.

No ****ing way on the world should it. Play the Politics game. Let ****s blow up at our stadium so small and shit

Some **** in power goes **** we should give more Socceroo games to Newy in future as it is a sell out and some other **** goes we better spend some more money fixing this place up and completing the ground.

We have been dealt decent cards here don't throw them away and play them with power
