Grand Final tickets

[JamesRustle]

I thought the capacity had been reduced by then?

Ticketek was selling based on the reduced seating layout, although actual works did not commence until after the grand final had been played.

 

[JamesRustle]

Has anyone got their tickets in the mail?
I bought mine months ago but they have not arrived. Should I be worried?

I collected them out of your letterbox a few weeks ago...

I also took your SSM postal survey and used it to bolster the votes for the side I'm voting for.

Albert has one going cheap.

Message me your credit card details including address, DOB and CCV number and I'll see what I can do.

Private message or just post straight up here?

Both.

I bought mine in the presale back in June, they turned up last month. Suggest you give Ticketek a call to find out what's going on.

Thanks for the only helpful reply, yes the tickets were loaded on Ticketek this morning so can I can scan in on my phone.
Having been to AFL GFs, where hard copy tickets have to be collected in person by the Credit Card holder with ID to reduce scalping I assumed NRL would be the same, I was ignorant about how little interest there is in RL in Sydney (AFL GF tickets are going for $2K+ and I can't even offload my spare NRL ticket for face value).
If this site is representative of RL fans in Sydney, the game is doomed.

But isn't Jamberoo only about 130 kilometres south of Sydney??

An AFL fan who can't wait to take pot shots at rugby league, how original.

AFL is more popular and has bigger crowds. You won't find many rugby league fans arguing this. So that is a large reason for the disparity in ticket demand.

But you also have the fairy tale of the two teams with the longest AFL GF droughts, one from Melbourne and one from nearby AFL Mad Adelaide. A perfect storm.

How would the demand be for GWS vs Fremantle, which is probably a reasonable comparison game. Less?

And if we had say Parramatta vs Canberra (two long droughts, in rugby league heartlands, comparable distances) would the demand be NRL be higher than current? Yes.

Our GF has two interstate teams, one with a smalll loyal following in an AFL mad city, the other a passionate base but who are being charged $1000-2000 for flights.

Bloody afl fans. Even when they aay they are going to an nrl game they still find a way to bring up the afl. Its like a cult.

Just responding in the tome of the replies to my OP. Yes we know all that.

I originally went on this forum to get my RL news and fix. I find that many posters have a chip on their shoulder, are obsessed with AFL bashing and continually post rubbish about AFL or about Melbourne. I feel the need to correct that.
And AFL is more like a religion than cult. I grew up in the 1970s & 80s when RL was the same.

Jamberoo is where my ancestors came from who they played RL for. I have lived my whole life in Melbourne. I follow both codes. Lots of people like soccer and RL, or RU and RL, but on this site you cannot like AR and RL.

AFL fans are like vegans. Can't go more than a few minutes without mentioning it, think it makes them superior for supporting it and generally are a bunch of annoying over the top merkins.

I concur with you that AFL is a religion. Just like this one.

NRL is more like Christianity. Everyone claims to follow it but very few actually go to church.

Cry harder.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

I reckon nrl fans would talk it up like a cult .. if the game made us proud

Unfortunately it lets us down often

You can't take friends visiting from overseas to a game at ANZ with 70,000 empty seats it's embarrasing.

Melbourne people can take them to the g and be confident they will be reasonably impressed with the spectacle ..

Even if they don't get the game

You were the first to bring up AFL, in an effort to bag the NRL and to insult those who follow it, and it's everyone else on the rugby league forum with the chip on their shoulder?

Cry us a river Victorian.
