N34, can't wait.

 

[Hawkas1988]

Got a few corporate box seats sorted through my partner's work today. She's done well there.
Keen as to see the boys hopefully run all over the Scum.

 

[Gene Simmons]

Not sure if it's been mentioned previously, but the match starts at 1:45pm..? (Not 1:10pm as per title).

 

[libbylou]

Having trouble with Tiketek what a nuisance.

Had the same, persevere it will be worth it !

Any idea which end the cheer squad will be sitting at? Currently behind the goals is available at both ends but don’t want to be sitting with the filth

No idea but it shits me the minimal info we get from the Clowns at AFL for buying tickets. They should sell them earlier and confirm sale dates, get minimal time to organise interstate mates who love a visit to the G !

The cheer squad is in M3, punt road end for home games

So I’m guessing we’ll be down the other end for an away game?

 

[Nugett]

Not really relevant, but just got tickets for Easter Monday clash. Going to go with my sister, who is an Essendon supporter, (go easy she did say she swould be barracking for the Hawks against Geelong!)

We are going as a joint birthday present for us, seeing there is only 3 weeks between our birthdays. So hoping for a Hawks win as an early birthday present, seeing my birthday is the day after.

My last game I attended was our win against the Biulldogs last year, where I was down in Tassie, as our mum was dying at the time. So that game for me was a major stress relief, and the win was an extra bonus.

So really excited to go see the boys play, especially our Easter Monday clash, Maybe I can finally convert my sister from supporting the Scum! Bloody 84 grand final! (That’s when we both started to follow our teams…)

 

[Hodginator]

Wait, this is a bombers home game? WTF?

 

[Gene Simmons]

Locked & loaded!

Let's hope for no injuries in the final practice match, has there been any update how Moore is tracking with his illness?

 

[Mr Lizard]

if I have a h&a general membership, do I need to get a ticket now or I'm good to just rock up on the day?

My thinking is Easter Monday against Geelong I would need to buy a ticket because fully packed, this game less so.

That's what I'm planning.

When I went to Ticketek, it was $52 or something, whereas, as a replacement game, I was expecting a walk-in.

I'll be arriving at one-ish, to grab a seat at the front of the top deck somewhere

Really? I would have thought a Saturday arvo game between the Hawks and Dons will command more than the Easter game

I'm not sure I'll need a reserved seat for either of them. The club email just kind of makes it seem like that.

The only way either game is a sell out is if we can convince Tay Tay to attend.

 

[LRobbo]

* are pumping their 84-85 back to back flags and are hoping to get over 80k, Tim Watson was flogging it the other night on the news.
You just know they’ll wheel Sheedy out pre game, he’ll wave the jacket over his head and the ferals will lap it up.
Anyone remember 2017 when they ‘welcomed back their heroes’ after the year off for systematic cheating? It was like a cult.
I imagine a similar sort of atmosphere

As long as it's not at Etihad, high school ovals have better turf

Yep. Got rolled pretty easily in the end.

 

[kirbatron]

68k last yr was very good.
