Realllllly doesn't fill me with confidence.

That sucks. Got 1 game. Probably not worth it.

just go to the ground an hour before KO.
you will probably pick up a ticket from a scalper for less than the listed price

I haven't heard anything yet. What did you get Uncle Boog?

[Perth Girl]

Just checked my email, apparently I have got bugger all from the ballot for the 4 games I applied for! The email said I could apply for any unsold tickets sometime in Nov. That's messed up my travel plans

[UNCLE BOOG]

one game from the ballot, check
two games from Qantas at about three times their face value, check
accom in central Cardiff, accom in zone 1 London, check
hire car (thanks Qantas for forcing us to hire a car), check
QF flights, actually operated by Emirates (?), check
Credit card down to its last scraps, check.

Flight will be under a code share agreement which fairly standard these days.

Qantas have no international flights out of Perth anymore.

[UNCLE BOOG]

yeah, familiar with codeshare arrangements, but it saddens me that I cant get on the jumping kangaroo in Perth. The funny thing is, Per-Dubai is Emirates, Dubai-LHR is Qantas!

[jargan83]

Probably meeting up with the flight from Sydney or Melbourne that stop over in Dubai

[eleypinkbit]

When it used to be British airways/ Qantas, you could be sitting next to someone on a BA flight and yours was a Qantas one!

[UNCLE BOOG]

Yep, codeshare. A380 is all good regardless of whose name is on the tail!

[UNCLE BOOG]

did anyone else try to get tickets in yesterdays release?! what a joke that was!
