General Grand Final Preparations (Just in case)

[juju]

Anybody quietly making preparations JUST IN CASE we make the Grand Final?

I've booked fully refundable flights, that were eye watering-ly expensive

And then Qantas launched the below sale (or I didnt notice this in time)

Qantas keeps the faith in Warriors making the NRL grand final - with an out clause for fans

The airline is temporarily knocking down the price of fares across the Tasman.

A trip on Air NZ was around $2k return.

I’m gonna wait until next year when we make it two in a row cause 1. I’m currently broke and need to save and 2. Don’t rate our chances even if we made it to the big dance …

Penrith’s our kryponite . We’re not ready to beat them right now…

Booked everything but flights (from Cairns). Unfortunately they have shot up and it will really hurt the bank account now. Hoping I can resell the GF tickets ok if it comes to that!

Even flights for M lbourne to Brisbane are like $1k return right now. Normally get em for $150-250 return

The thing I think about GF's if we make one, it might be 13 years till we make the next one. So IF WE make one I don't want to take it for granted (is my thinking)

We're definitely outsiders vs Broncs
We're definitely outsides vs Panthers

I know it would be pretty tight but flying out on Sunday morning from Auckland and returning a few days later is $600 with Qantas....

Pretty fooking good actually

Edit: okay I've just booked refundable accommodation a few km out from Accor, and got grand final tickets when they came out haha. In for a penny...

Wow ppl already got gf tickets? Patience guys...good idea to get flight and accommodation though as they will go up.

No need to book flights as I can drive to Sydney.

Booked a fully refundable hotel with parking in Sydney CBD near train station.

Waiting until after Saturday's game to buy tickets.

I put the cart before the horse as I always do and purchased tickets and flights for myself from Perth and my brother from Auckland on August 2nd the moment tickets were released.

Got diamond tickets close to half way, absolutely stoked.

Either going to look like an absolute idiot, or a genius who got cheap flights and amazing tickets.

Guess we will find out in 5 days

How have you got tickets for the GF already? Are they only available for members of clubs? I have looked on the NRL website and it says opening soon...

Tickets were officially released on August 2nd, I purchased an away membership two days prior to get the tiketek code.

Diamond tickets are the way to go - pricey though. I think they're close to sold out.

Membership seats tend to be at the dead ball line

I got diamond tickets as well but pretty sure I am near the goaline. I bought them on release day but didn't think to get them asap and got them later that night. Terrible pricing to have the same almost the whole length of the field

Booked my flights from CHC today $900 per person $150 xxl fee each, worth the risk.

Now I'm worrying about the game tickets...

Edit: 900 each, not 1800

Really smart business from Qantas.

My best mate lives in Sydney, and brother in NZ. Haven't seen both in awhile.

So end of the day, figured I get a nice 5 day catch up with free accom, and if not falling our way a cracker GF Riff against Donkeys.

No lose situation really.

There's diamonds still available around halfway!
