So is my missus

Mon, 2013-09-23 07:42

But at $2300 just for return airfares - wtf - they lock up scalpers yet our airlines are doing precisely that - ditto hotels and ditto car hire firms - what an absolute disgrace !

$2300!

I believe though that the 747's etc will need to fly over empty and back empty so in effect double the distance as they are based in Sydney

Mon, 2013-09-23 16:00

 These are normal routed flights Rob not special charters. The cheapest Qantas redeye is $1100 which is on their nomal service schedule. It's a cash grab. There are plenty of standby 737's at Perth airport so no need to bring empty planes over.

dont agree with you on much

Mon, 2013-09-23 20:34

but I do agree with you on this talk about price gouging needs to be looked at its profiteering it is as bad as scalping tickets if not worse as its a major corporation that's doing it

I reckon your money would be better spent on a few eBay stellas from a Bangladesh seller Randall. Long way to go for guaranteed disappointment, hope you have some spare change for a box of tissues lol

Tue, 2013-09-24 18:43

tim-o sometimes I reckon you should keep your opinions to yourself. how about saying some nice things about your own team. I am going to the MCG to support my team. its going to be an incredible game between the best offensive team in the comp against the best defensive unit in the comp. I hope its decided in time on in the last. and a win to fremantle will be exceptional.

Will I be disappointed if we don't win? of course. is the possibility of being disappointed going to smother my enthusiasm? no way. i pity anyone who makes decisions based upon the risk of disappointment. how boring would that be?

i am looking forward to the match ups, i am looking forward to losing my voice for the second week in a row, i am looking forward to the experience, primarily because i have never been to the G before. Nothing is going take that away.

Good luck to Hawthorn. I have a feeling they will learn very early on that beating fremantle is going to be tough. this is no foregone conclusion. where hawthorn expected to win in 2008? I don't think so. if your team are as cocky as you, they're in for a real fright.

Go Freo! Go hard!

Best place to watch footy is at the G I reckon.

Went there for Anzac Day this year, didn't get the result but awesome experience.

Gotta respect the fan who digs deep into his own pocket to travel and support his team.

Lucky bugger Randall. Have you got good seats or did you end up in the nose bleed section?

I heard someone on the radio today got around the huge prices for airline tickets by  taking several overseas flights from perth before getting into melbourne late grand final eve....all for $652! One of the fairs was a $2 fare....take that rip off merchants!

i am getting there and back about $500 and 65000 frequent flyer points poorer. I reckon the missus did pretty good on the flights and i am crashing at a mate's who is coming to the game with me.

 From the 50 metre line - Olympic stand - do you reckon she will be as happy as a pig in the proverbial - there are a huge bank of dockers in level 4 Q54 so the atmosphere even at altitude should be electric
