v North Melbourne - Saturday Night at ANZ

[ugg]

Why do you want to seat in 129. Isn't that the North supporters area?

[Missy]

But the amount of blow-ins and people who don't really care about the result would end up being more than half the crowd at these big Sydney games.

Who cares? As long as they are pumping money into the club and cheering on the red and white, it can't be a bad thing. Better than an empty stadium.

[Triple B]

They sold 129 without any problems at all. Or do you specifically want to sit upstairs???
I told the chicky what seats I wanted and all was ok.

Yeah Annie, I prefer to be elevated. Level 4 seems a good height and as I haven't sat there before I want to try it.

When I go to Melbourne, I always head for the top levels of the MCG and TelstraDome, just my preference. Obviously would prefer the corporate levels, but I prefer higher rather than ground level.

Fair enough. I sat upstairs for the Fweo final last year. I prefer closer to the ground at ANZ. I try to sit upstairs elsewhere (except Manuka).

Ugg, Aisle 129 full of Norfs fans????
Behind the Swans bench????
(Assuming of course that because it's our home ground we get our "home" rooms.)

Big Bad, if yoou don't mind the death spirals, the front rows in level six are actually pretty good viewing, esp for you as you like it high. Level 4 at Stad Oz is like stepping into another world. As well as a great view, the foyer is carpeted and there are nice lounge chairs to sit in while you enjoy that flat plastic cup schooner of Tooheys. Beats the hell out of the Brewery for the pre game drink!

Thx ORB. I will be aiming for Lvl 4, but if I get screwed over somehow, I'll keep Lvl 6 in mind as I would have probably discounted it. My fellow watchers aren't keen on too high though, so I'll have to consult the group.

Cheers

When I bought my tix, the girl at Penrith was good enough to swing her monitor around so I could see. Sections 405 to 408 were blacked out and unavailable, presumably reserved by the AFL and the Swans club for AFL heavyweights, sponsors, corporates, premium members (Sydneysiders, Redbacks) etc etc. I would not hold my breath waiting for them to released.

[AnnieH]

Don't forget that ANZ Stadium members (and their four friends) have to sit somewhere.

[Plugger46]

I'm in 130, Row 7 so sounds like a reasonable viewing spot.

Where do ANZ Stadium members sit ??

[Triple B]

Logged on all night online and it was always Section 402 for premium.

Ended up ringing Ticketek at 09:05, got straight thru and jagged Section 410, Row 2. Woohoo, very happy with that although I would have preferred closer to centre wing.

Emailed my fellow watchers with the good news.

All was good until I just logged on 10 minutes ago and they're selling 409, Row 1

No more logging in and looking, just not worth putting myself thru the agony, as if following the Swans isn't enough agony already.

Level 4

Those two seats are already booked.

What a bloody joke - 409 were the BSITH premium seats that I wanted to get, but the AFL reserved them for North Melbourne members. Apparently zero response, and now they are all available to Joe bandwagoner. I am seriously pissed off!!

North struggled to pull 20,000 to a home final not so long ago. Apparently they don't even have a dozen supporters willing to travel interstate for a final and take up the best seats in the house.

The North Melbourne footy club is a miniscule suburban club that has no place in an elite national league. When is the AFL going to wake up to itself and send North to the VFL where it belongs

[Triple B]

Yep, total BS.

Just checked for you ORB, currently selling 409 Row 4

I'll be keeping it in mind for future years.

As Industrial/MMG said, wait a few days and the good seats will come on line. With NO chance of a sellout, there is no need to jump in and get pre-sale tix for members only when they fill up the ends to members, who are always going to attend regardless, and keep the good seats to entice Joe Public to put his hand in his kick and front up when he's undecided.
