Anyone going to these games?

Yeah i will be at the Shepparton game, big cameras in hand. Roster was sorted the day the draw was announced.

I would go to the brissy game but pre booking tickets for a practice match seems a bit silly.

So much for tickets to a practice game dl4e!

Melb vs Brisbane has sold out !!!

That Old Melb history of being able to turn up on the night or day and get a seat is a part tiingnif the past.

Can I suggest that the Blockbuster Anzac Eve vs Tigers and Queens Birthday vs Pies games be treated with greater urgency if you want seats in specific locations in the ground.

in other words start getting your act together as both will be 80,000 plus I imagine!

Our home game vs Bombers in Round 3 is also another get your ticket if you aren't a member or get there early.anyway.

Cheers and here's to three great games in anticipation.

oh and let's not forget JLT  on Mar 3.

Great TV viewing on Fox!!!

 

 

I'm thinking of heading to the Shepparton game as I have family in the area. Will I really need to pre-purchase tickets to a praccy match?

Agree... perhaps 58er is talking seats.... only 320 or thereabouts at Casey.

The capacity is around 10k which should make for a bonanza day for the egg and bacon roll sellers !!

10,000 at Casey??? Does that include people stuck in their cars because the approach roads and car park can't handle more than 500 cars?

Casey you should be able to just turn up I've been to the last few pre season games there and usually get about 5000.....pro tip park in one of the nearby estates and walk to avoid a traffic nightmare!

I would Bondi.

Shepp is footy mad and there are a hell of a lot of Richmond and Melbourne supporters in the region. 

And the grounds capacity is limited.  One local I spoke to thought it would be a sell-out.

hear you poita... I was surprised but the official capacity mentioned in Wikipedia is 12,000 !!

Re the sellout I went to the bookin link and it stated that tickets were all sold.

Perhaps  a call to the Club would be best to get advice. Yes It is not really feasible that the whole ground is sold out but no way either will they get 12,000 in at Casey based on previous crowds of say 6,000.

Ground will have a safety net of say 8,000 or similar I imagine and then say Sold Out.

As I live in Qld won't be in town that weekend so no real problem for me but hope the game is worthy of a sellout with both Clubs treating it with seriousness.

Sound like something weird with the website when I clicked on the link it didn't say sold out....I'd be surprised if they'd sold 1000 tickets to a practice match this far out let alone a sellout 

Is this the first year that they've pre-sold tickets to the JLT series?
