Alice Springs Ticketing Question

Hey all. 

A quick bit of searching fails to give me an answer to this.  Do our memberships get us into the game at Alice Springs or do we need to buy tickets?

    I could give a guess and that is we get a replacement entry for an away game at the mcg for the Alice game so you would have to pay to see it up there.

    Memberships do not give access here.

    could you tell us a little more about the ground please. I assume it doesn't have much seating. Are there raised grass viewing areas or similar. I recall in the TV broadcast there being a stand of gum trees around the fifty metre mark.

    There is a lot of smaller stands set up for seating and a small grandstand which you can purchase seats, but be quick, I tend to just sit on the grass with my kids. There is also an area where you can buy a package, get seats and drinks in the Lasseters tent.

     

    you used to be able to take fold up chairs into the ground, then for no reason or warning they banned that and only allowed fold up stools, then despite their website saying they were allowed 48hours before the game they changed it and banned it too, upsetting many people, especially when an AFL employee strolls in with a big fold up stool...

     

    AFL are in danger of over-regulating and ruining the atmosphere of what is a fantastic day, especially when their employees are exempt from their own rules....

    What sort of price are you looking at for that? 

    I did a little digging around the AFL site and it doesn't look like tickets are available just yet.  Have to keep an eye open for that.

    Will the club be able to put together a package, perhaps an Alice demon rep could assist.?

    Air, accomodation, game day , local tour maybe built around the cheaper flight days.?

    The airfares to the Alice are often the highest in Australia. I'd self book air and hotel ... the sooner the better.

    Often via Adelaide is a cheaper fare if the direct flights are heavily booked.

    For example the cheapest direct flight on Friday before the Sunday match is$400 on way.No direct flights Thursday but on Wednesday the direct flight is around $260 one way.

    Be sometimes cheaper to fly to Uluru, do a 3 day camping safari (Uluru, Kata Tjuta, kings Canyon), better yet, do 4 day option which does the West Macs

    Webjet has cheapest return flights to hear that I have seen, sale ends 26/02

    Thanks RG

    As you are a local can you recommend a medium price accommodation and tour options to take advantage of the cheapest price tickets?

    Ground amenities aren't great. Most people sit or stand on the grass. The small temporary grandstands are fine but on the outer side you are exposed to the sun all afternoon so unless you're keen to tan up the grandstand side is better.

    Lasseter's may be the best viewing spot of the lot for the public but last year tickets were around $170 per which I thought was pretty steep. If your pockets are deep...

    Day trips to West Macdonnel ranges are fantastic, as are ones to Palm valley

    Flew to Adelaide last year for $56 and met up with a Darwin based mate where we hired a car for ~$26 per day.  Leg 1 drove to Port Augusta and stayed in a decent motel over the bridge.  Leg 2 6am-5.30pm Port Augusta to Alice Springs.  I flew back direct to Melbourne with the team.  Mate drove back to Adelaide then flew back to Darwin.  Between the two of us flights, fuel, car hire, accommodation, entryx2 was cheaper than a return trip plus it's not a journey you're going to take/see too often in a lifetime.  Pity the team came back only to fade away.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
