stephaniexo Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 has anyone got tickets yet? Yep! Football's cheaper to get into than a nightclub and alcohols about the same price. Plus 10 tickets for 150 dollars = cheap group entertainment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephaniexo Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) From the website: The match was originally scheduled to be played AAMI Park in Melbourne on Wednesday 29 February 2012 with a 7.30pm kick off. FFA has today replied to FIFA seeking urgent clarification and review of the decision to change the kick off time to 9.30pm. Does this mean the apparent changed time isn't set in stone or is trying to be reverted? Either way I'm screwed with a 7am tutorial the next morning.

stephaniexo Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 The only complaint I can see people have would be in regards to possible youngsters and travel distances. I know a few people who brought tickets for their children and I don't think anyone under the age of say 8 will easily manage staying up that late along with a travel home. I'd be surprised to know if metro/metlink whatever it's called now days plans on having extended night transport. Parking in the city and around the Olympic Boulevard area isn't easy to score at 9.30 at night unless you plan on hiking it to the nearest train station. Then you've got people for example who take v-line services etc that'll also be affected. I agree; I don't see why people are complaining but I do so a list of downsides that a time change may have.

KSK_47 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 9:30 KO?????? Thats the shittest news I have heard all week. If true I wont be going. Have a family ticket and was going to bring the whole tribe, but keeping toddlers and school kids up until 1am on a Wednesday night (well, technically Thursday morning) is just not going to happen.

You wouldn't have bought tickets for a family including 3 kids, the youngest of who is 8 then would you? My 8 year old couldn't stay awake to 1am, but if somehow she did, she'd be a disaster to be around the next day, (which of course is a school day). I already felt they had done me over by the rumour we will play a second string outfit and now this. Nice one FIFA and FFA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theresonlyonebzamora Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Apparently the reasoning was that the other game has to kick off at the same time and this game has the potential to influence the other game they didn't want to move the other game for some reason.

schrecky Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 New kickoff time kind of sux (if it stays), bought my family tickets 2 months ago. My kids wont care to much (5&8), but it is a football week for us, as we are flying up to brisbane the next day to watch heart at suncorp on the friday. Kids will be knackered on the early flight. Might have to go with mates instead of family now, or stick to foxtel. Public transport wont work leaving ammi at 11:30pm i wouldn't think either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 The FFA website (and Ticketek) still shows a KO of 7.30 p.m. If the time has been changed, then this is clearly misrepresentation and selling something under false pretences. I bought my tickets some time ago. If the KO time is changed to 9.30, I will get home about 1.00 a.m. I doubt that my wife will want to go under those circumstances. My mates all have to work the next morning. Bloody FFA - I try to be positive about what they do but this is just not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Still advertised as 7:30 kick off. looks like the FFA nipped the 9:30 story in the bud. Good on them, thats a big relief for me. Over at SWFH (Shahanga World Football Headquarters) herself had to my surprise gone "hard core" and was talking about taking the kids whatever time the kick off. She would have been in a world of pain the next day, I assure you (I leave for work early and thus would miss the resulting catastrophy). Remains to be seen who we pick. Would love to see the likes of Schwarzer & Wilshere play of course. I guess from a development point of view makes sense to give a bit more experience to some of the fringe players seeing as its a dead rubber - only problem is quite a few of those play in Europe so i for i one will be disappointed if they aren't considered.
