Lions Tour 2013

[FiveStarStu]

Got Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne tickets in the presale, and Rebels tickets with my membership.

Jumped on at 9am to get Melbourne tickets for the folks, and crash city. They'll have to settle for the Rebels game.

I guess the ARU will see this as proof of how healthy the game is in THIS country and not a reflection of the number of B&IL expats here:

How do ticket sellers on E bay get to sell these tickets at outrageous prices?
for example
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2x-Briti...30931243079?pt=AU_Tickets&hash=item35c4932047

we are all well aware this is above $ for ticket and the seller cannot produce the item until May. his E Bay name is "RareticketsAustralia".

From what I hear there weren't many tickets on sale in Brisbane this morning. Sight crashed for me straight away so I knew I was no chance.

 

[Set piece magic]

Surely the ARU can get in touch with EBAY and ban his account for life and make him pay a fine. In fact he should go to Jail.

Tried for 45 minutes and no good.

The amount of tickets on E Bay is unbelievable already, I have "reported" quite a few. Not sure if it does any good.

Wow I must have been incredibly lucky this morning. I got 3 tickets together for Brisbane, basically centre field (gold tickets). Up in the nose bleeds but they should still be awesome seats. My wife was also logged on at the same time and also managed to get a selection of 3 seats, albeit these were off in the corner. Good seats still, but not as good as the ones I ultimately bought.

Someone had to get them but lot's would have missed out (like myself)

With the various pre-sales over the last few weeks, there probably weren't that many tickets available for the general public sale. Hopefully, that means there will be plenty of gold in the stands.

If you're a member of The Rugby Club in Sydney, they may be able to sort you out with some tickets to the Tests.

I was there last Monday for a function and they were encouraging people to join up. It was mentioned they still had (limited) tickets for all three Tests for full members.

So if you're Sydney based you could get in touch with them. www.rugbyclub.com.au

I am looking for 2 tickets to Melbourne or Brisbane for a rugby club fundraiser. Missed out today, anyone know where I can go next?

Lions Tahs sold out in 90 minutes this morning! Wasn’t even sure if this one would sell out.

Going to Tahs and 3rd Test; a beer with some of you miscreants is probably in order

They priced the Super rugby games very fairly I reckon. I was expecting to pay up to $75 for those.

Via a good friend I am being shouted a lions v tahs ticket, and via an ANZ stadium membership am ensured a lions v wallabies ticket. makes up for 12 years ago when I was overseas for the tour

I'd be interested to know if anyone got any today for Brisbane. Getting a message saying nothing available after 10 seconds when looking for a single ticket in any class is a bit of a joke

Same happened in 2001. I didn't even bother trying this time. Am going to see the Reds v Lions.... the rest will be viewed either at home or in a pub. Might head up Caxton Street on the night of the Brisbane test to soak up the atmosphere and watch at a pub there. Will be much cheaper!

Same here, very pleasantly surprised to pick up 2 for $50 to Rebs v Lions.

Makes up for the visceral pain of the Test costs.

Ah well, 3rd Tier.
