    Re: Ticketing for 2021

    Got tix in Northern Stand. A couple of years back when we played at Mars and it was pelting down rain (literally horizontal rain), those sitting in the Eastern Stand were absolutely drenched, so suggest any seats in Western/Northern stands will be better protected.
    I guess if you think about it, the weather generally comes from the west/northwest....
    Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

    Really those are positively tropical conditions compared to what it can be like in winter up there (eg v Port in 2018).

    Re: Ticketing for 2021

    Why am I being told I have to pay $59 a head for tickets I was told that I would be so lucky to get for $10 each?

    Sounds like you are trying to reserve a seat in the stand and you are not a Ballarat Member, or have Ballarat add on.

    Same happened to me, only option was standing for free or seating for $50+.
    I'm ok with standing, old school I like it.

    Don't you get a ticket through Player Sponsor?

    I have Ballarat 2 game membership which normally entitles me to a seat, so I ended up with a seat in Western Stand for $0.

    I got on at 11am and picked the WS as my preference, instead of Best Available

    Apparently not, unless I did something wrong (possible).

    I shall pose the question to the club, although ok standing.

    I did choose section not best available.

    I’ll be watching this one from home. Looking forward to going once again next Saturday back at Marvel.

    View from Western Stand very good. Best viewing ground I've been to.

    Despite fact I normally have allocated seat (as Ballarat Member) a little back from front rows in Western Stand, now have one in row B - I think I'll miss elevation but will be closer to the action.

    Only 1 to 2 mm rain so hopefully not a drenching. Still gonna take wet weather gear & gloves & beanie just in case.

    Think this should be a ripper match (as long as we turn up to play which I think we will).

    Northern Stand. Row E. Hopefully protected if it rains. Looking forward to the drive up the highway and seeing another great performance and hopefully driving back with the four points.

    That seat will be almost on the fence with little cover from roof.

    You should go Easty, it is a great ground like the old suburban grounds. You can either drive or take a train, and buses pick you up at the station.
