Landers, I’ll be in Adelaide for business the week we have our solitary Friday night game against Port on the 22nd June. Naturally I’ve decided to fly home to Perth on Saturday morning instead of Friday...

Now I just need to ensure I can get a ticket!  

Can anyone provide the best option I should go for?

TIA

    Going to be tight, McQ, quite tight and you don't want to sit up the top of their S_Western stand. You will not be able to secure a seat on the Northern Stand, most likely unless you wish to pay Ticketek around $80.The locals think it is a good deal - dimwits.

    1. I'd go in early - about two hours, early - walking down to the Riverside entrance from across the footbridge and endure the crowd (that will be rabid, raucous and ready to kick-a-Vic). You'd pay a Gen Admission ticket price from that window of $35 up to $60, attempting to sit as close to the ground or the first level as you could.There can be some effective bargaining if you are early in order to get a seat where you can actually watch the game. Have a cut lunch with you - seriously. Pies are $7 and anything else is more than that amount. Great ground to see a game provided your seating is good.

    2. Alternatively, contact Ticketek to order a 'first level' seat at around $60 starting price and then some, on occasion. 

    If you go in early, there are good bars from which Mother Nature has provided an ample ale or two through the top-fermented Cooper's family brewery. Their sparkling ale is good for the footy with some peanuts and a Marlboro. Take a pack of "Luckies if you can get them - it will set you apart from the decadent throng that call themselves football supporters and who allegedly barrack for a team called the Power, if they are not fighting amongst themselves for the cigarette butts outside the arena that have been discarded on the ground a couple of weeks ago.

    THE BEST OPTION

    3. Find a nice pub with Foxtel telecasts. Get a beer, some cheese and sit in front of a 66-inch screen to watch the game as it is televised on Channel 503. That's what I would do, given the scarcity of good seats and value at the Adelaide Oval - and you might just make it to the airport, later, alive! The Sportsman's Bar at the HIghway Inn, at the cnr of Marion Road and Anzac Hwy just outside the city centre (on the LHS) - ie: go from the city by cab down Anzac Hwy about 4 kms on the way to Glenelg, further down the track. Great steaks. Lotsa eye candy. Great evacuation point from the pub on the way to the airport down near Glenelg (turn right at Tapley's Hill Rd (about 7 kms further down from the pub). 

    Of course, I am going to the ground for the game but have a ticket, already, through a mate.  I wear my Jui Jitsu kit with black belt just so the locals shut the far cup.

    Now that is what I call a helpful Demonland response! Enjoy the game Deemania

    Legend - thanks.

    I've committed to going to the game as I've never been to AO let alone watched an AFL game there.. Told the handbrake tonight too and she's cool with it so I'm good to go.

    Option 1 for you, big fella.

    You absolutely have to go Steve. I took the family last year to the game vs Adelaide, fully expecting a loss. It’s the prettiest ground to approach as you cross the river, and the ground has a real charm (supporters excluded). The result last year helped a lot as well. ? Even my missus who doesn’t normally come to the footy really enjoyed herself (didn’t barrack as loudly as I did).

    youll have a great night.

    As a local i have to say Adelaide Oval is almost on par with the G for Matchday experience, for any 1st timers coming you will enjoy it . I will be in the members with some Port mates but you can sit anywhere on level 1 or 3 and get a good view.

    The Hill is where the opposition cheer squad sits. Grab a GA ticket and head over there. Great atmosphere when we're winning.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
