Essendon game ticket (help)

[BakesFan]

Family circumstances will see me in Melbourne for the Saints vs Essendon game next weekend.
Being an Essendon home game I'm reluctant to try my luck with Ticketmaster/Ticketek lest I get plonked in the middle of some Feral dons supporters.
Does anyone have a spare ticket amongst a group of faithful Sainters that they need to sell?

[perfectionist]

Can't help you sorry. But, I can tell you this. If you go onto the TM site now and search for a ticket, you will get one in Aisle 4 on Level 3. Now, this will make many people unhappy (like me) since this section was not available a week ago and we were forced to take behind the goals seats. Just how many other sections have been "held back" who knows.

PM saint66au, although I suspect you might be 24 hours too late !!

Yeah do as perfectionist says. Just get a ticket to enter.
Then worry about the actual seating position.
If my boy's mate buys a ticket, they usually stand somewhere, so that'll mean an empty seat next to me. Lvl 3. Also, the MW is sure to have a spare seat somewhere.

Work it out on the day.

Unfortunately this is an Essendon home game so there is no MW plus you can't just buy a ticket and rock up its a ticketed game

just wondering
(as i have no idea how memberships and seating works )
im an 11 gamer and have never used it

could i get a ticket and give it to someone????
i mean my 'tickets i could get with my membership' basically just go to waste
id rather someone else use it for the H&A season

im guessing not and that its just a first come best dressed thing whether u are a member or not???

Two problems with this, one its our away game so as an 11 game member you have no entitlement at this game. Secondly, memberships are not transferable and can only be used by you (although you would never get caught!!)

s***!

thanks mate

[BakesFan]

Cheers everyone.
I just PM'd saint66au so we'll see what happens.

a0k.. I'd be happy to buy an extra ticket for your son's mate if that means I could get a guernsey next to you.

Every lady who supports the Saints is a stunner, a0k......

[sainterjo]

Hold onto your Akubra BakesFan, I've heard on the grape vine sainterjo is an absolute stunner!

I have three theories about this:

1. Very old information.
2. Beer goggle effect.
3. Mistaken identity.

but anyway.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SAINTS!

We'd all prefer to believe the hype!

My signature is from the greatest little Aussie poem there ever was and will be. Thanks for giving me an excuse to quote it in full:


Life Cycle, by Bruce Dawe. For Big Jim Phelan

When children are born in Victoria
they are wrapped in club-colours, laid in beribboned cots,
having already begaun a lifetime's barracking.

Carn, they cry, Carn … feebly at first
while parents playfully tussle with them
for possession of a rusk: Ah, he's a little Tiger! (And they are …)

Hoisted shoulder-high at their first League game
they are like innocent monsters who have been years swimming
towards the daylight's roaring empyrean

Until, now, hearts shrapnelled with rapture,
they break surface and are forever lost,
their minds rippling out like streamers

In the pure flood of sound, they are scarfed with light, a voice
like the voice of God booms from the stands
Ooohh you bludger and the covenant is sealed.

Hot pies and potato-crisps they will eat,
they will forswear the Demons, cling to the Saints
and behold their team going up the ladder into Heaven,

And the tides of life will be the tides of the home-team's fortunes
- the reckless proposal after the one-point win,
the wedding and honeymoon after the grand-final …

They will not grow old as those from the more northern States grow old,
for them it will always be three-quarter-time
with the scores level and the wind advantage in the final term,

That pattern persisting, like a race-memory, through the welter of seasons,
enabling old-timers by boundary fences to dream of resurgent lions
and centaur-figures from the past to replenish continually the present,

So that mythology may be perpetually renewed
and Chicken Smallhorn return like the maize-god
in a thousand shapes, the dancers changing

But the dance forever the same - the elderly still
loyally crying Carn … Carn … (if feebly) unto the very end,
having seen in the six-foot recruit from Eaglehawk their hope of salvation
