Everything not to do with on field in here. Planes, Trains, & Automobiles in here. Let's hope this thread is busy all the way to the big dance! Me, I've got Iron Maiden in Melbourne in week 1 so I don't think I'll be getting to the Gabba. Reckon I'll do a road trip to Sydney if we make week 2. |

I'm sure flight prices have just tripled - $500+ one way |

I just booked a flight out of Melbourne on the 10am for $238. There’s still some early morning flights available in the $230 - $270 range if you go the Jetstar/Cirgin websites. |

Should I book my accommodation in parramatta for week 2 now or wait? |

Nothing under $300 Saturday on Virgin. I'd love to go but it's just gonna cost too much. Pity it's not Adelaide or Sydney which are driveable. Heavs wrote: Should I book my accommodation in parramatta for week 2 now or wait? Just get one you can cancel.

for the second week of finals - if we get that far - the Sydney Marathon is happening over that weekend so a lot of accommodation may already be booked out. Luckily I have flights and hotel for that weekend, will be a bonus if we are playing a final up there at the same time! |

How can you be sure of getting a ticket when booking airfares? I'm also in the 'drive to Sydney' week 2 brigade. My sister lives there so accommodation isn't an issue. |

From memory I don’t remember too many hard luck stories from the Prelim, and you’d think that would have been more in demand. I’m banking on the 10am member presale, but reasonably confident - worst case scenario - I’d get them in the general public allocation. A home elimination final for a team that a month ago was Premiership favourites, and have played 8 Gabba finals over the last few years won’t be the hottest ticket in town. |

Return Flights from Newcastle ($620) and Brisbane accommodation all booked. Based on last year I am very confident of getting tickets in Wednesdays member pre-sales, it's a bit much to pay $250 for the member function given what I am paying for flights and accomodation (have to save money somewhere!). I am sure there will be other member gatherings around, we should aim for a TC pre match drink/gathering somewhere! |

After we win in Brisbane I can drive down to Sydney and stay with family (in-laws are walking distance to Engie Stadium and daughter is close to SCG) |
