You'll love the Aussie rules game mate, as long as you are not watching Adelaide or Port Adelaide play.

Or Carlton, Collingwood, Hawthorn, Freeo and nearly a dozen others...

Good stuff lads. Tickets should be out closer to the end of the season. Hopefully they rock up in Brisbane few days early to train and meet the fans like they did in Melbourne.

And thank God they decided to go Brisbane first. Means we get to stay there longer than Adelaide!

(Managed to insult half the country in that post )

They better be BIlly , I don't want to get into a a squabble with 2 burly Aussies!

This is probably the only excuse i'll find to go to Adelaide

Any idea who the guest speakers will be in Brissy? Been offered hospitality tickets via my sisters work for the function pre game.

I'd imagine some former Aussies and Rushie? Maybe Digger?

What would that cost you if you don't mind me asking?

St Kilda are boss mate , unfortunately they are in Melbourne and no where near Brisbane, but thanks for the invite, get those crownies on ice mate.

St Kilda !! Hate those cu*ts. 

What would that cost you if you don't mind me asking?

Probably about 200-250 aussie dollars each way. Haven't got a clue what accommodation and stuff would cost since I haven't really looked it up.

Pleased for you guys

St Kilda !! Hate those cu*ts. 

Oh right ok, next your going to inform me they are the mancs of Aussie rules, that would definately be a dagger up the clitoris,

Had the fortune to visit Oz few years back twice, they were the inform side back then, unsure how their doing now, just shows how interested I am , anyhoo I was taken to watch them play Hawthorn, great game very full on, I much preferred the after match piss up tho if I'm honest,


Up the Saints

Nah the mancs of Aussie Rules are definitely Collingwood.

I wonder if Balotelli will still be with us. I've heard he's big down under.

No mate, Saints are our West Ham. Where all our rejects go!!!

Bring it on again!

I think I'll be going to the Brisbane one this time being a Friday and all.

Billy mate there's only one team you need to keep your eye on in the AFL and that's the mighty Swannies!

Come on mate we got one player ...Buddy!

Liverpool FC coming to my home city, the home ground of my great Aussie rules footy club (Port Adelaide FC). I hope many of you take the trip over. Sure, Melbourne is great, but Adelaide is a beautiful city that has been effortlessly modernised the past couple of years. The beautiful Adelaide Oval in the heart of the city really sets the scene. We are a sports state and a proud and true state, a cultured city,  you Brits will feel right at home, we are basically your second home anyway!

I don't work Mondays, so I'll get to be one of those people hanging in the city all day, finding out what hotel they're staying at and generally soaking in the day. Reds are going to take the city over like us Port supporters do every home game.

Plus all the zonal picks but I dont want to go off topic

Adeleaide's a great place. Lived there for 6 months....some of the best Green in the country is found there.    Can't wait. 

Nah the mancs of Aussie Rules are definitely Collingwood.

I would've thought the Mancs of Oz would be the Blue baggers of Carlton........easy Ian    Go the Bombers.
I'm going to try and make it to the Adelaide match. The MCG atmosphere was to die for, last time they were out here and I'd love to re-live that.

How did I know you would comment? 

Dont you ever and I mean ever mention in the same sentence, those lying cheating cu*ts and us the blueboys in the same sentence.

If any one is closely related to the Mancs and their cheatingness, it would be those Druggie Bombers of yours.

I take it, you didn't like the comparison? 
You know they were just flu shots.
Many other clubs push the Sports Science envelope and get away with it.
The lying dog Demetriou has a lot to answer for.

Anyway, back on topic. I hope all Aussies have a blast during this tour.

Lovin the banter between all you Oz fans, if Saints are the west hams & Collingwood are the chavs of Aussie rules then who are the Liverpool ?

And is it true that when Aussies are born they have a scar of a ball. & chain around their ankle ?

I reckon Port Adelaide are like Liverpool.. you have the buzz centre of London/Melbourne where the overhyped glamour clubs sit, but the real character and passion of the competitions comes from these traditionally working class clubs in cities like Port Adelaide and Liverpool. We don't get the backing of the big bad media and we don't have endless riches but who needs them when you have a living breathing community club to be a part of?

Paging bigvYNWA.

Seen as ive missed out on tickets when im over in march if I don't get tickets to the Brisbane match back home I will find someone with tickets and remove them from there hands... Nicely of course.

F***ing ball bags I got an email with a pre sale code but when I click on the "buynow" it takes me to the ticketek page saying "Oh uh That page does not exist"

WTF?!! Been frantically refreshing to no avail though.

Think it's at 9am mate.

F**k! It's 8am!!! I can't get in.

F**k! It's 8am!!! I can't get in.

It's 9am our Sydney time mate!

We have time still..

It's 9am our Sydney time mate!

We have time still..

Haha bloody hell i knew it was 9am then saw "Tickets on sale 8am AEST" and went ballistic! Thank God we're ok.

Your on daylight savings in Sydney aren't you?

Section 301 row 6 and it comes up with an error... Now only single tickets left

Landed tickets in the KOP for Brissy in section 312. Nothing for Adelaide.

Hopefully a couple KOP tickets for Adelaide come available on eBay or something. Probably will have to fork out 3x the price.

F**k YES! Got Adelaide tickets! Bay 209 Row A.

$300 for both trips. Pumped as F**k!

F***ing livid just wasted the best part of the hour for nothing.

Tried to get tickets for my dad younger brother, sister and the missus. The only category available with 5 tickets was Category 1 and 2 at a ripoff over $1000-1200 tried the 3 and 2 combo but can't even get that fuking so pissed off right now. I don't know what to do try the general sale perhaps.

Try your hand at general sale or wait for some to pop up on eBay in a couple weeks.

Right now they will be way overpriced.

F**k YES! Got Adelaide tickets! Bay 209 Row A.

$300 for both trips. Pumped as F**k!

Happy for you mate, enjoy the trip and game!

just sent you some more pre sale codes that will be active at 12:30 EST

Happy for you mate, enjoy the trip and game!

Cheers mate! Giddy with excitement already. Should be a great week if last time is anything to go by.

Just got my Kop ticket for Brissie, took me about 5 aborted tries to get it - is it July yet?

In the KOP for Brissy too and got Gold tix for Adelaide...made the F**k up...what a weekend on the piss that's gonna be,

Well in lads made up for you all

Have a great day

Well in lads made up for you all

Have a great day

Mate, I'm flying into Brisbane on the morning of the game, watching it, then off to the Pub then off to the Airport as have a flight out next morning direct to Adelaide. All the boys having a massive bender all weekend, then to the Adelaide game and fly out next morning to come back home. 4 days without the wife and kids and just plenty of booze, singing and laughter.

Gonna be 4 great days. 

Gonna have to meet up with a few of my fine fellow Aussie Reds finally, got tickets for the Brissy leg of the tour! Absolutely made up, will be the first time I ever see the lads live and in person. May be a friendly, but will mean a lot to me. As many who know me will attest to, Anfield is still top of the bucket list but until I can financially do the dream trip over there this will do absolutely nicely in the mean time!

Also a sense of irony in that I live literally an hours drive (in good traffic) from Adelaide Oval, but the once in five year Verner family holiday up to the beautiful Sunshine Coast (hour north of Brisbane) is taking place in July, so I just so happen to be away the one time the Reds decide to venture to Adelaide However at least I won't mind in the slightest if they decide to put a number up on the Roar! Would have flown back early if Adelaide was the only leg, but them playing in Brisbane as well saves me some coin which I'm quite thankful for.

Gonna be a F***ing epic day/night.

Bit delayed on this one, but yes. All the F***ing yes. Even had all our success before the big money and all came in, but hopefully building back up now. Last season was even a similar dick tease in being the best team in the comp at many times but just not having enough to get there.

You'll Never Walk Alone/Never Tear Us Apart 

And just to reiterate - F***ing pumped for July 17th

Weeeee! Should be an awesome weekend!

Ian, you and i are the only people i know doing both trips. Guess it's hard for a lot of people to do both with work/family commitments. Should be a big weekend, indeed!

feel sorry for anyone that was waiting for general sale in brisbane...

John, it sure is hard mate but it's Liverpool coming to town so sacrifices have to be made. 

Already got the wife's blessing and the kids won't give a rats...they might ask "where is Daddy on the final day?" 

Well in lads made up for you all

Have a great day

Last game I saw was the last home game of 2004, before emigrating to Oz.  Had been a season ticket holder for 20 odd years before that so really looking forward to it.

Suncorp Stadium is more like a traditional English ground so should be a great atmosphere.

Still in F***ing limbo can't find 3 tickets in any category.

Have to go to Brisbane for work tomorrow so I will be looking for a ticketek office to line up and will send the missus to a Sydney one also.

I F***ing hate ticketek most incompetent F***ing organisation I have come across.

you guys need to start saving!

Adelaide: Pre-Sale - Adult   $151.91 to $202.88 £76 to £102 for a friendly.
Brisbane: There are no tickets available to the general public at this time.

Well in to all those who are going to see the Reds this summer down under. I completely get the excitement as I was that way last year when they were in Chicago.

If anyone has missed out I ended up with too many tickets as I was after 4 but ended up with 2+2 but then brought 4... So I've got 2 sets of 2 to sell at cost price

Finally got it sorted.

Got  Category 3 tickets online through my phone as I was lining up at a Brisbane ticket office then purchased the other 2 in person.

Sheer luck and determination.

Looking forward now need to all congregate somewhere and get on the piss before the game. PM's are in order in due course.

Got 4 tickets for the Brisbane match!

We should organise a pre match piss up for all the Reds in Brisbane

Glad to hear it got sorted in the end bud.

Cheers mate.

I tried all day to get 2 tickets for the Brisbane or Adelaide matches, no luck F**k the Aussie ticketek or whatever they call themselves. Also where have they got these outrageous ticket prices from.

Made up for you that you're going.

Enjoy, make some noise lads

As high as the prices are, when 95,000 tickets get sold in Melbourne within 33 minutes and then Brisbane and Adelaide a combined 100,000+ being sold out close to the same time, you can understand it.

My only annoyance is the people who leech off big events and buy only to sell on eBay at 3x the cost price. Kop tickets in Brisbane were $93 or something and now theyre being sold at $200+. Hate that. These people deny proper fans who want to attend and price them out if they're late on first round tickets.

What I am trying to work out John is work out total cost with airfares and accommodation, I do not think it will be much more expensive to fly to the U.K. and see the REDS play in a couple of league matches. As my wife was saying at my age whatever I decide it will probably be the last time I will see the REDS live, and I am being drawn towards Liverpool and Anfield where I still have relatives.

That is a very vaild point  im over in march and missed tickets while im over, pretty much why I went over board getting tickets while they are here

Do you have tickets left for Adelaide Joshua? I'm coming over on the 15th to Adelaide and reading the thread I'm not sure if you've got rid of them yet !
Pleae feel free to PM me!

I definitely can see where you're coming from Billy but unfortunately that's not in the line of thinking for 99% of sporting organisations.

This trip alone will cost me $2,000+. It is a ridiculously high number (especially considering Adelaide is a destination!!) but alas that is what it comes down to.

Definitely understandable. Had the games not worked in with my overall plans I would have had to make a tougher decision, at the end of the day these games are just friendlies and you'd always go a trip to Anfield that has some meaning to it. These will be incredibly fun and special, but if you have to choose - Anfield always.

F***ing univiersity has cost me a weekend in Adelaide (blessing in disguise? Sorry Dave ) so i have a ticket for the open training session for anyone who wants it free of charge ($20 i think it was?).

First day of the semester is the day of the game So i have to go class, fly to Adelaide after class, then fly back that night.

Hey guys,

I have two spare tickets for the Brisbane versus Liverpool game tomorrow night. Give me a shout if you keen
