just tried to purchase tickets for this game and according to the online ticket site there are only 7 left,all singles dotted over the etihad stand.now if this is true ,fantastic,but im bloody ed off if i miss out.anyone heard anything?i will phone club tomorrow to find out

Are you sure the 7 aren't the ones that are taken

When the Ethiad stand is full the North will be open the Lexus probably too. Call the club to confirm this.

I think all seats are unallocated as well

Answers the Question for you. It's never worked properly as far as I can make out.

i knew it was too good to be true.it will be interesting to see if we get more there than the manly game.ive got a feeling we`ll do well(crowd wise, not result).

PLEASE GOD DATA WILL BE COLLECTED VIA COMETITIONS etc OF EVERY PERSON IN THE GROUND.....PLEASE GOD.......PLEASE GOD.......PLEASE GOD.
I don't care if the club have to employ 100 people to harvest this data and if it costs them £100 each to do it.....the 3,000 curious people that went last year to make up the 6,500 crowd were just let drift away....UNBELIEVEABLE


THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS GAME BEING IN LONDON WAS TO HELP QUINS RL [size=200MARKET THEMSELVES[/size.......




















As for the result? Who cares? It's only a training match with both coaches fielding different teams in either half.

Not sure myself, Sydney folk aren't going to put in an effort to see Melbourne

maybe not to see melbourne,but they will to see the likes of cameron smith,greg inglis, billy slater etc.not all last years aussies were manly fans.

I Bloomin' well hope the seat ARE allocated! I spent a long time on the phone with Quins trying to ensure that I got 11 good seats (6 of which are newcomers)! I will be totally p****d off if I find myself sitting somewhere other than the seats I booked!

Er...2,500 drunk aussies + Quins stewards = free for all!
I would call the club AGAIN to reitterate you get your 11 together and make a point of saying you will cancel if it is not so.

The seats are allocated. There are seat numbers on my ticket. Any drunken Aussies sitting in MY seat are going home in an ambulance...

... only joking.

Smash'em Curty

Shoulder first and a swinging arm.
Whammo!

Just had a look at the website myself to buy tickets...

Unless the game is a near sell-out, that is PISS-POOR!

For a club that struggles to get gates over 3.5K on a regular basis, why can you only buy tickets in AF of the Etihad (limited)? For the casual or new fan that isnt encouraging! Oh look, there are only a few tickets left, damn... oh well. Even worse, the fan does buy the few remaining tickets, notices the shedload of seats left on game day and leaves with a bitter experience.

And I used to wonder when I arrived in London why the club struggled for gates? If you cant get tickets online easily (one of the advertisings call to actions, and the way the majority of ticketing is bought these days) then no matter how well you market the product you are scewed.

PATHETIC! If I wasn't such a rugby lover, I wouldnt even bother...

Just booked my tickets and got told i couldnt have my normal seats in my private balcony (well disabled balcony then)

, but i wont worry about that i just wander over and go up there anyway.

The reason girl in ticket office gave me was that the LV stand wont be open for the game, and when i asked how ticket sales were going for this game she gave me the impression that ticket sales not all that good.

The Storm in all honesty are probably the worst result for this game in terms of attacting Aussie fans.

If only the Eels has won!! Would have been a much bigger draw.

And they're not looking to have a full side.

Melbourne are playing Brisbane in a pre-season trial match at Rockhampton tomorrow. Be interesting to compare the team they put out there with the squad that travels to the UK.

If the LV Stand is not open, does that mean, so far tickets can only be purchased in the Etihad Stand? If so, only having one stand available for a match like this is embarrassing.

Absolutely disgraceful. I'm not going to bother if the only seats available are in AF.

Dave I think the ethiad is actually full.

As you know, I couldn't give 2 hoots which stand is open - fact remains, if the club has elected to open 1 side stand only, it is a complete joke.

Dave it hasn't. I believe the north stand will be open if enough tickets got sold in the next 2 weeks then the club will have to open either the south or lexus.
