Ashes 2010/11

Just got myself a 5 day pass for the test at Brisbane, and also for the first 4 days of the Adelaide and Sydney test matches.

That is all.

Jammy git.

Hope you have a good time.

Ask Villan For Life what happens whenever I go to the cricket!

[VillaZogmariner]

Oh, and here is an example of how watching sport in the UK is a rip off.

My ticket for the third day of the Ashes test at Edgbaston last year cost me £75 ($130AUD)

My 5 day pass at Brisbane has cost me $114 (£66)

It rains!!!!! Still you could be our secret weapon for Ashes 2010/2011!!

Surely I'm going to get to a days play without getting my money back because of the weather! It's only taken 10 years!

My plan is for us to win the 1st test and then organise a whip-round on here to fund your tickets for each day of the remainder of the series in the hpe that your track record is repeated!

I've already got tickets for the other tests (well Adelaide and Sydney - Melbourne and Perth go on priority sale tomorrow). But by all means send me cash!

I've had to join the "Australian Cricket Family" in order to get tickets before they go on General Sale - I feel dirty!

Dirty? You should be ashamed. It's akin to having Small Heathen tendencies!

[VillaZogmariner]

In my defence it's only so I could get my hands on tickets before they go on General Sale, and it didn't cost me anything to join!

and as soon as the Ashes have been won you will be recinding your "membership" to the ACF ?

My mate went 4 years ago.  He had a spare ticket for the 3rd day at Sydney.  He tried to offload it at face value to a guy who was looking for a ticket.  Turned out the guy was a copper.

He spent the better part of the afternoon in the cop shop and then got a caution.  Unbelievable really, all he wanted to do was sell it to someone who wanted to see the cricket, he weren't trying to make a profit.

Think I can only pick one test and given I am leaving it late for tickets will probably have to be an all in deal including tickets.

Anybody got any advice out of picking Brisbane, Adelaide or perth?

At the moment I'm assuming Brisbane has probably got most going for it.

[VillaZogmariner]

Brisbane, because the Arsenal game is that weekend, and we're going to organise a bit of a H&V get together to watch it!
