Still need a goalkeeper mate? I'm looking for a game of 5 a side once a week!

Perfect thanks. Now all I need is to buy my Victory top and I'm set

Oh is that what you were referring to? Of course I remember her, how could I forget someone who thought they can earn $200/300 a day picking fruit Anyway, I came on here to offer people tickets on behalf of a mate, and got 3 people jumping down my throat, so I reacted. I class a tout as someone who makes a living off doing what my mate is doing regularly. I'd say being left out of pocket by people screwing him over, and needing to make some money for when he gets home is a bit different personally. each to their own though. But I'm sure you 3 fellas have always been absolute saints all your lives, no matter what situation you have been in.. No one asked for your opinion on touts, just if you needed tickets I knew someone. I've got to buy a Melbourne v Liverpool ticket from a tout because I missed out on them, am I crying about it? No, I'm just happy I still have the option to go

Cheers Ronan. My mate has just bought another 5. Might get in on the action myself

Fruit picker? What has that got to do with anything? "Ya fruitcake" haha, didn't realise you were 13.

I'm not going to explain myself or what my mate (yes Tonyman, he does actually exist, but great assumption otherwise) is doing. No one wants them on here, cool. I hope he sells all 7 for a grand a piece an makes a fortune now. Enjoy the game on TV lads. I'll be on the half way line at the Etihad thinking of you all. To make it worse, I don't even like rugby, so there is another seat took from a proper fan missing out. Take care gents. Phil

He isn't a tout, he's been let down by "mates" and is now over $2000 out of pocket, as well as being in Melbourne and not Sydney. He is selling these 7 to buy 2 for Melbourne, and make himself some money before he head back to the UK unemployed. Not that that is anyone's business or he has to justify himself. But thanks for the comments

My mate still has 7 platinum tickets for the Sydney test if anyone is interested. None of them are seated together (apart from 2 that are a few seats aprt on the same row). Originally $300 each, he wants $600 each, or a bit less if anyone wants to buy a couple at a time.

He hasn't tried to swap then yet, but still has 7 Sydney tickets available. I keep telling him to sort it, I will let you know if he does swap them.

Only been here 6 months on a WHV (about to get a 457, then hopefully PR), and always planned on staying given the chance. Then in the darker moments I've realised in the back of my mind, I'd always expected to go back "home." Maybe underestimated the homesickness, maybe just seems a way out if things didn't work here. Either way, the lure of going back is massive, until I remember the reasons I wanted to be here in the first place.

Love all sports and will watch/play anything and everything, but I can't see AFL being any more than a vague interest to me. Going the MCG with 90,000 people was a good experience, but that's all it was. Unfortunately I'm still setting my alarm for 4:30am to watch Arsenal, and I can't see that ever changing!

Yeah I agree. I hate when I can't get to concerts and gigs because all the touts have took them. We are both going the Melbourne test, my mate is a massive fan, I'm more going for the experience. I'll be in touch with you if he manages to swap the Sydney ones for Melbourne if you are still interested. I know for a fact they'll be over face value because he's heading back to the UK in July so he needs the money. Not sure how much he wants. I'll be in touch Briman. Cherrs, Phil

Don't worry i'm fully aware, just trying to help a friend out. Point is the Sydney test has the chance of being pointless, therefore the 7x$300 tickets he bought could well be worth $10 each if it is 2-0 by then! He leaves a week after the Melbourne test too which complicates things further. These damn backpackers haha

I've just put a post up with tickets for sale if anyone is interested

By the way, we are both going the Melbourne test already, so any fans fancy a drink around that time, get in touch!
