    Maybe they ought to ask for a guaranteed payment of $100,000 per match just to play there. Like the NRL.

    Is there a way to find out how many tickets have been sold for the Perth test. I have heard that all the cheaper tickets have been sold or is that just a way to sell the more expensive tickets and then give the cheap ones away later

    Would have thought a local Saffa would want the best seats available to watch his World Champions Pieter

    I will be sitting on the best seat available Burgs and that is my couch in front of my TV where I can watch it without disturbances

    Actually to tell you the truth I don't have the money to buy 4 tickets for $140 and then I sit in block 318 where I will need a binoculars to see what is going on

    I hate Subiaco

    Wear your Wallaby colours with pride, Burgs!

    TG, yeah, it sucks I want to be at the game to support the team, etc, but I also want to SEE the game.

    couldn't even crack 50,000 giving tickets away. Apparently the crowd was down about 20,000 compared to the last time France played at ANZ (would have been Telstra back then) stadium

    thats shameful. we can hopefully (i will take this rant back if we dont) FILL the worst stadium in the country, because we LOVE THE GAME! they cant even do that when they are giving tickets away!! it makes me want to cry why is the rugby world so against perth?

    They are trying to suppress us. They know that if we are let loose it will be a bomb exploding to big for the rest of sporting organizations in WA to handle. And it just might mean that the rugby capital in Australia might move to the West in a few years from now!!

    AFL ain't exactly a sport to support at the moment
