Preview Semi Final v Bulldogs @ The Gabba, Saturday 4th September 2021, 7.20pm.

[Gadzorks]

Forty minutes to get nosebleed seats. Might be easy if you are getting two seats, but trying to get seats for eight was ridiculous. And $700 for eight tickets. Couldn't get category 2, which is where we normally sit.

FM. Rather be sailing.

 

[mpal6]

I'm happy we are going for a greasy match. Day time could've been bad for us.

Anything that gives our backline few more extra seconds to close down is a good outcome.

Everyone going for the match - please give the visiting mob hell !

 

[Kernel Kurtz]

Got Section 232 row F
Sweet 5 rows from the turf.
Surposed to be restricted viewing , doesn't look like it unless you call the post a restriction?
Anyone on hear know anything about this section ,
Cheers.

 

[morsie]

He staged for or ‘drew’ all four of them.

A couple I suspect he was as surprised as the Essendon players. Umpiring fantasy land at best.

That is mission impossible 8 seats together.

Will battle on

 

[M Malice]

Row EE.

lol I’ve just worked it out where I’m sitting.

I usually sit section 422, row AA, seat 417.

So I’m four rows back and two seats to the left.

 

[Kernel Kurtz]

Yeah the posts are the only thing I can think of as a viewing restriction for that section

Sounds awsome, Might even be next to the race.

Didn't seem like there was a lot of people going for tickets .
I got sick of the same shit seats , I kept going back until I was timed out.
Refreshed and had only 8 people in the queue in front of me.
Tried someone else on here's method and punched in restricted hoping to get top tier front row,
You can only try, pretty stoked all the same to get close to the action.
Good luck all.

How long before 1pm did you log on and jump in the queue?
I was in there at around 12.40 and was only being offered much closer to the 50m arc when I finally got through.
Was hoping for something much more central.

I don't do the ordering, my son is on fibre to the home NBN with 100 Mbps speed, I'm on wifi with around 10Mbps that buffers a lot.

He never seems to have any trouble getting good seats, says he just goes on and off a few times until he gets decent seats.

Yeah I did that about 5-6 times too but kept on getting the same areas.
Thought I better just take what I was given in the end.

 

[bato]

Mighty Lions any word on the ins this week?

 

[Elixuh]

The ticketing system is a joke. Ho hum.

 

[Section 5]

So, after logging on at 12.30pm and placed in the queue things got worse from their on
Finally got tickets at 3.40pm
Seats offered were all nosebleed seats and not in any reasonable section
During the process kept getting "something went wrong". Could be automatic if you have lots of goes at "find tickets"
Have good internet speed 50mbps
Sometimes it would let me put barcodes in again. Other times had to get out of Ticketmaster and log back in
I am sure they try and flog off the horrible seats early under the guise of better take what we offer as they are "Best Available"

Ended up in the section next to my normal seats so happy in the end
Just very stressful process
Section 421 H row

I logged on 50 seconds before the sale opened according to the count down clock.

It said there were 18 people in the queue ahead of me.

Waited about 2 minutes.

First seat offered was in section 422, row EE. So took it.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Had a look for shits and giggles and there is plenty of quality seats being offered when I was searching.

 

[archangel1979au]

Section 438 Row AA pretty happy for that for cheap seats.

Yep same. But was a bit more difficult to find two decent ones in a row.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

4 tickets in 202 row t at this very moment. Quality seats. Wish I could have went

 

[spotthedog1]

I think the big move we should make this week is a hard tag on Caleb Daniel

by Tommy Berry. High impact defensive player with the ability to play forward. Take away their quarterback. Tommy's defensive work isn't a question - just his offensive work. Remove the issue by chaining him to Daniel.

Lester in for McStay, move Adams forward for the other manoeuvre.

I'd drop Prior for Berry, and have Dev as the medi-sub. Super-pissed at Matho after about the 821st time he bombed it long forward straight to Lever.

 

[twhowler]

Yep same. But was a bit more difficult to find two decent ones in a row.

Be thankful you can all go we have had to cancel 5 trips to matches this from canberra.
Harris in rehab group every Tuesday and Darcy clearly not right from shoulder. So our two best key backs way down, and 2 key forwards out. Doesn’t excuse lack of mid pressure, but teams don’t win flags when that’s the situation. A win this week would be a pass mark for the season all things considered. Ballenden mentioned makes me nervous - if we play him AND Fullarton it will not be pretty. Can’t stick with 3 big blokes forward when the quality of the big blokes changes so dramatically.

Tom completely shut Daniel down earlier this year. Think he only had one touch in the first half.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Bring in Lester, will give us options on who we can throw forward and back, can rotate it during the game. Not a fan at all on Ballenden. Ah Chee in for Prior.

In - Ah Chee - Lester - T.Bery (sub)
Out - Prior - McStay - Mathieson (Sub)
