    Rydges??

      Might be something to do with the fact that if you are going all that way to go to the game, making sure you can actually get in is something of a priority?

        ... and making sure you get good seats.
        Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

          Not when they are talking about games in Sydney. They still want to pre-purchase tickets. I just don't get it.

              And I can't understand the fixation of Southernites being members without havign a reserved seat.

                  Running the risk of not getting a seat is not passion

                      Well I think partly because you said "most" and partly because they are making a slightly longer trip than just hopping on the tram in Brunswick.

                        The few games that require tickets are always advertised ahead of time. The only game I have bought tickets ahead of time in Sydney was the flag unveiling in 06. And in Melb the Essendon home games at the dome, these were designated ticketed games. Apart from that you can, in 99.9% of games in Melbourne walk up and get a seat. The .01% being the Essendon games at the dome or Collingwood games at the dome.

                        I wish hopping on the tram in Brunswick was all I had to do.

                          Oh I know that you're a special case

                          But whenever we travel now we definitely book tickets ahead of time, when I was a younger man I was happy to just rock up to the ground and grab a ticket but with a family it's such a fair chunk of change to travel for a game that you kind of want to know you're going to have good seats

                            Well, Scott's considerably large-sized arse.

                              Yes. Is it a tram trip away or should I stick with cabs?

                                If you check the website it says it is a short walk from the tram.
