Re: Whos going to Sydney?
I go up most years and really trying to get up there again. If you're smart (or stupid, either way you look at it!), you can keep the cost low.
Tiger Airways have a $50 flight no luggage, at Avalon Airport (2.55pm). And you can get flights back to Melbourne Airport from about $100 the next day, depending what time. No late flights causes the need for acommodation which adds further cost, although you could just stay out all night!

Re: Whos going to Sydney?
It's a very good night though, so it's worth trying to get up there. Getting back to Melb is the only annoying bit.
Very true, as with any flight at the moment! But if you're trying to keep costs to a minimum, it could be worth the risk.

Re: Who's Going To Sydney?
Yeah booked a while ago, flights return with Tiger were about $130. Going up with a group of 9, should be great.

Re: Who's Going To Sydney?
I'm going to be in Sydney on the weekend to see my sister, but now my sister doesn't want to go to the game cos its too expensive. What a mole lol.
So the irony is, if I stay in Melbourne I get it live, but cos I'm in Sydney its delayed half an hour.

Re: Who's Going To Sydney?
I'll be there.
I booked the flights a while ago. It's costing us $84 all up for 2 people return on the Tiger flight people are mentioning so that's $21 each, each way which is unbelievable and the main reason we're flying Tiger. We were lucky enough to book it when there was a 1c special going in one of the directions. Staying at the Radisson on Liverpool St and making a weekend out of it. Should be good me thinks.
This is the first time I will have ever seen the Pies live interstate so I'm really looking forward to it.

Re: Who's Going To Sydney?
Someone mentioned something about a ferry that goes to the game, can anyone give any further details? The other times I've been to Sydney we've just got the train there which can be a bit of a pain after the game when everyone is trying to do the same thing, not sure if the ferry is any better than that

Re: Who's Going To Sydney?
It leaves from the main ferry terminal at circular quay, and the transport cost is free if you have a match ticket on you, which I though was good.
I went this way last year as how many chances do you get to take a ferry to a football game.
A little warning though, it takes about 30 minutes with the ferry from the city, and then you have to catch a bus from the ferry terminal at Homebush to the ground, so give yourself a good hour before hand if you go this way.
Not sure about on the way back though, we just caught the train back to the city, yes it was packed, but we got on eventually.

Re: Who's Going To Sydney?
I am going with my bestie (she doesn't even like footy - aint she lovely!). It's my first interstate footy trip and i'm muchly excitied. Also happens to be my birthday on Saturday so party time.
I booked through Pie in the Sky so went for the 5 star hotel and all!!
Catching the ferry too...includes sausage sizzle and drinks - should be a ripper.

Re: Who's Going To Sydney?
Using frequent flyer points to
Have been to Sydney for this match a few times and its great because we always win and its a great getaway
The stadium is clearly the worst place you can go to watch the footy though, seats set way back at funny viewing angles. Crowd uneducated but good.
Despite the stadium you will have a great time. Reckon Daisy loves it up there

Re: Who's Going To Sydney?
I've got two extra tix in 142 (Pies Cheersquad goalend section) Row 31. Reckon $40 for the pair is do-able.
Anyone already up here or coming up but hasn't bought tix, PM me.

Getting To Sydney For The Game
Just wondering how many of you are heading up to Sydney for the game this weekend.
We are booked to fly out early Friday morning but the way it's looking our flight will probably either be delayed or cancelled.
So we have decided to organize an alternative just in case and wondered if anyone else was in a similar position.
There is 7 of us and we are thinking of hiring a mini bus and driving up Thursday night leaving Melbourne at approximately 9:00pm.
Is anyone else interested in filling one of the remaining 5 spots, cost of the bus & fuel will be split evenly amongst everyone.
Message me if you are interested.
Thanks
Fitzy
