Looking at going to this game with my 9 year old son. If anyone has any experience / advice in relation to games in Adelaide it would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure of the best way to get tickets, only requirement is that we are with Carlton supporters. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk |

If you can't get with a group of us, I recommend you don't go. Generally no worse than any other supporter group, in my opinion. kk, last year I ordered tickets through the club and was in a largely Carlton zone. From memory they were about $70 each and were in the front half of bay 540-543-ish area (forward flank in the eastern stand), which I found to be a good place to watch from (I prefer being a couple levels up). Given it’s a late afternoon game, if you’re in the eastern stand, pack a pair of sunglasses. You’d be looking towards the sun for a little while. Wouldn’t be anything bad though. Last year the SA supporter group also had a pre-game function at a pub a few minutes walk from the ground. Family friendly event. Hopefully they do the same for both Adelaide games this year. |

Yup.... Sombre is right...! sure I've mentioned it before...it was 2000 or 01...when I went to a game over there...! i was advised rather strongly by my crow friend...not to wear colours...if only to minimise the charnces of getting into a fight...! can't lie to ya kerna...he was right...! sure that was 20 years ago...but hey... maybe the new stadium's changed their vibe...! kindest regards tommi Also...it was the game they won on or just after the siren...lucky... because I'd done enough yelling to give the jig up...! but I could walk to the car without the added vitriol...! |

Funny story.... we were doing a Beatles weekend in Adelaide around 08...one of those 10 Beatles bands over 3 days things....! seriously....my worst nightmare...! two good friends of mine came over to catch a couple of sets...! we all knew it had doomed written all over it...! so they decided to catch a game at the Park too ...it was a PA home game...! for starters they got there nicely pish... then proceeded to get anything goes pish...! they were using another mates Football Park membership...so they were in the members...and being a Blue and Tiger... they weren't going to support PA...! well...half way through the 3rd quarter... they were asked to leave...not so much for the anti PA cheering...which I'm sure was annoying...but for the brainwave decision of said Tige mate...to expose his arse in the general direction of the members...! with full parting of the cheeks...then ride me baby slapping of the backside...! it was a full "escort" out too...! so we're getting ready for a midnight start at the casino...and my mr Blues mate rocks up...alone...! where's Mr Tiges I ask...which brought about an answer that we still laugh about to today...! Mr Blue..."Hainsey won't be attending... an inevitable turn of events have put paid to that"...! good times...and I've got many many great Mr Tiges stories from over the 40 years of friendship...! if you ever see Creedence Clearwater Survival around the traps...go up to the John Fogarty guy and ask him to retell you this story....funny man...! kindest regards tommi |

I would seriously advise not wearing any Carlton gear or have anything that indicates you are from Victoria. Apparently we are are Civil War with South Australia, but they forgot to tell us... (I lived there for 12 months...) |

I've never been to a game in Adelaide. Considering dressing up in full gear and attending after reading this thread. |

There is an element of 'we hate Victorians' that we are completely oblivious to.Apparently we are are Civil War with South Australia, but they forgot to tell us... (I lived there for 12 months...) I had two tyres slashed when I was there.. When I took them to the repairer I naively said that I did not realise I was parked in a dodgy area... He just said 'it's the Vic plates mate!', like I was stupid Or maybe this should be in the 'boring stories' thread Go Blues |

Well, you know, I supported Port in the SANFL, so we're not all bad. |

I intend for my son and I to be wearing colours. Went to footy Park back in the day, was OK in a big group. Surely they've moved on from the hatred stuff? Maybe jacket over colours until inside venue Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk |

Good luck. |

Jesus that's a bit grim. I just can't imagine it getting that bad. 4.30 kick off may help. This is Xmas present to my son. Sydney is Easter weekend and I'm busy. Gold Coast I'm in North QLD Adelaide might be harder to get tickets? WA to expensive /far for one night. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk |

I went years ago & they weren't too bad. Admittedly it was that game where Kreuzer went fwd in the last qtr & we stormed home & won. |
