There are but you asked how much they are in the Storm section. The cheap ones are up in the nose bleed section and i personally wouldn't bother

I can't afford $200 for a ticket. Nosebleed will do me just fine

Dumb question - where is the Storm supporters section and how do you book tickets specifically there? Cannot easily find it on ticketek...

Yourhero the supporters section for each team are at either end of the ground behind the goals. These tickets don't go on sale to members until 10am Monday.

It's 5 bays each end behind the goals. They'll go on sale to members with a number either tomorrow or Monday and whatever isn't sold goes to the public

Surely there is going to be heaps of spare tickets for a Storm v Cowboys Grand Final.

Might buy a Roosters members ticket on eBay for $10!!!

Hey guys, so I have managed to find a road trip buddy to tag along with me to the game next week.

We are contemplating the following itinerary with a stop every 2 to 2.5 hours, if anyone sees anything that sticks out please let me know. We are very much road trip newbies. Given my credit card bill for last years Grand Final was near $2k we are definitely not flying and not staying anywhere near Sydney or surrounding suburbs.

Sunday:
Leg 1: Melbourne to Benalla to stretch the legs
Leg 2: Benalla to Wagga Wagga for our main stop
Leg 3: Wagga Wagga to Goulburn, we will most likely check in to our hotel at pick up the room key and freshen up
Leg 4: Goulburn to Homebush for the game.

Immediately after the game we will drive 2.5 hours to Goulburn and head back to the hotel room to recharge the batteries before the final day of driving home on Monday.

Does anyone know if there is parking available near the stadium? Given the $$ saved by driving I am happy to pay a premium for is.

Any reason for stopping in wagga coz its going to add travel time as its not on the main highway ?
We paid for parking in the main Olympic precinct in 2012 , cost wasn't too bad and u just jump on a bus to the ground.

Good point, the other halves think we need that stop, we would probably end up going straight to Goulburn to check in at our hotel to be honest.

From what I've read you'll be only able to buy four tickets per AAN number unfortunately. I've got a party of 5 but one of the kids is keen to stay home so that will suit well luckily .
Still waiting on the AAN numbers mate. I've definitely got one for you and will send it through once i get it
