Sell out?

Post: # 1478861Post Tassie Saint »

So... apparently the game in Hobart this week is a sell out?! I'm a Tasmanian and I'm shocked...
a) I didn't think North had a particularly large support base down here
b) We're travelling so poorly I'm surprised it's not just a "meh" game.

So... does anyone happen to have 3 tickets that they don't want, that they would like to sell me? I was planning on taking a mate and my son, but didn't get tickets in time... :(


Caaaaaarn you Sainters!!

It was sold out for quite some time. I missed out too. I was staggered about the sell out when I went in to purchase a few tickets about a week a go. Now I know why. The whole stadium is not sold out. Due to redevelopment the capacity of the stadium is reduced to about 11,000.

:shock:

So, we need 11,000 capacity to host an AFL game?

Pluggs was right. No way we'd ever get 11,000 people into the Junction Oval...









:wink:

No offense, but you're not the brightest spark in the cupboard being a Taswegian and unaware of the reduced capacity until now lol!

Worry not about the crowd size when you are a smart enough team to play in Tassie...the State takes care of your bank balance!!!!By the way was there a team in recent memory who failed to mine the gold glittering in Tassie treasury???

Indeed... I can but offer 2 excuses:
The North West Coast is a looooooong way from Hobart, and I have enough on my plate to be thinking about without worrying about the capacity of the stadium in the South

But even if I had known about the reduced capacity, I still would have thought we would be pushing to get that many there! :oops: :oops:

Ah well, my boy took the news well...

You'll get a seat. I'll send a message on a closed FB site for travelling saints if you like that may get you a few seats. Also try calling the club. Be a shame for any Tassie saints to miss out.

Might be worth trying North to see if they have any tickets available. I booked flights from Sydney without looking at the ticket situation - the only way I could get in was to become a North member for $50. Not ideal but better than flying to Hobart to spend the day at the pub.
