I'll be there. Booked my ticket months ago and would be going regardless of who was playing... but I Guess the gods have smiled on me/us.

I can't wait!

So, when we receive our special numbers (for the ticketed members) and we go ahead and purchase our tickets, are we automatically put into the appropriate area to be with like minded fans? How does it work, are there dedicated sections for each level of seating? I only want seats in the plebs section (it's already costing a bloody fortune) but want to be with the rest of us.

Hey mate in the 4 Storm GFS I've travelled to when we book online the tickets are only available in storm sections.

IIRC it's 10k tickets per final team for their members and our codes are all allocated to the same area

Well, waking up feeling extremely dusty after a big night of celebrating, what a win!! I'm ecstatic we are going back to the big dance, full credit to Canberra's players they were shot with injuries and hung tough and made us earn every inch, was a classic semi final and the perfect warm up for a grand final, I think it will put us in good stead.

I thought Munster was absolutely sublime, he was wounded and just kept showing up with big plays, put Koro away, put Blair over, and just before Cronks try when Canberra were peppering our line up 6-2 he came up with a huge 1 on 1 steal on Sezer when we were looking shaky, huge turning point in the game, I can't see even the great Billy Slater taking the 1 jersey off this kid now. Koroibete, Bromwich and Green my other standouts.

I have also skimmed the Raiders forum and surprisingly they are whining about every call, the seem to think Wightons sin bin was the wrong call (seriously? These morons know nothing about rugby league that was a textbook sin bin).

Going to enjoy this week, up the Storm!!

Anyone know how much tickets are? No doubt it's a far cry from the $80 or whatever it was in 2012.

The whinging has already started at League Unlimited. Melbourne are boring, wrestle, salary cap. You know; predictable rhetoric.

I'll be keeping my discussion about the game in here. Will not discuss on LU at all until after the game.

I think ours were $135 but they are premium.

I'm flying out of MEL at 12.30pm Sunday, staying at the Stamford Plaza Sydney Airport and then back again on the 1pm flight Monday.
Would love to catch up with some of you before the game. I went to the 2012 GF by myself and even though I'm 184cm and 86kg, I felt really intimidated to be a lone Storm supporter there.
if anyone wants to imbibe in a few beers on the lawn outside of ANZ Stadium where they have the beer tent and live music, I'd be most grateful.

Got two out of three things organised - flights and accommodation. Just need a single ticket in the members allocation bays tomorrow and I'm all set. I know that'll be no problem but until I actually have it printed and in my hands I'll likely remain a little nervous. Missing out on that would be a very expensive disaster.

I'm supposed to be back at work Monday after a two week break. Will have to call in a favour and take another day off!

I wonder what stories the Sydney press will whip up this week. Are we kicking puppies now? Stealing candy from babies?

Probably the same end as 2012 - the southern end or to the right when looking at a stadium map or on TV. The opposite end has an extra tier so the NRL will likely give that to the Sharks since they'll have more support.
