Awesome news for me!
I was thinking I was going to have to sell my tickets since I'm going to Melbourne in late June but now I can get a full refund or better yet I have an excuse to go to Melbourne later this year!

Did anyone else here have tickets to this match?Argentina match rescheduled
AUSTRALIA has rescheduled the coming friendly international against Argentina.
The match was to have been played at Melbourne Cricket Ground on 6 June, but Argentina requested a new date because of other match commitments in Europe, which were finalised after agreeing to the match in Australia.
Football Federation Australia is committed to hosting only a full-strength Argentina team in Melbourne, and Argentina would not have been able either to name its top players or have sufficient preparation for the match on June 6.
“We have been in discussions with the Argentinean Football Association president, Mr Julio Grondona, and we agreed it would be in the best interests of both teams and Australian football supporters to postpone the match to later this year," FFA chief executive Ben Buckley said.
"We expect to confirm the new match date within the next week or so.
“We share our fans' disappointment about rescheduling the match, but we hope that they will accept that a postponement was necessary so that we will see a full-strength Argentina.
“Representatives from FFA will be meeting with officials from the AFA and their match agents early next week to finalise the revised match date."
Tickets purchased for the June 6 match will be valid for the rescheduled date, and refunds will be available to fans unable to attend the rearranged fixture.
Refund arrangements will be announced once the rescheduled match date has been confirmed.
“It appears unlikely that we will have another match in Australia in June, which means that the World Cup qualifying re-match against Uruguay at Telstra Stadium on 2 June will be the only chance to farewell the team ahead of the Asian Cup," Buckley said.
