Pre-game meeting

Well I will be down Penrith early Sunday morning and I am thinking for those coming we meet up at Panthers who are 24/7.

We will have profile pics on the Legion website so you will be able to seek me out unlike Suncorp!

[Steve]

I think if you call the club you can order the tickets (02) 4720 5555. If it's not the number, they could direct you where to call, or transfer you through.
Then you can pick up the tickets on game day from the club foyer.

At least that's how it used to work, unfortunately haven't been down since 2004.

Was hoping to go to this game, but ended up being not doable. :/

The club is pretty huge, so I don't know if you have anywhere particular in mind to meet up. I'd suggest TC's. Kind of downstairs and towards the back, just past Hungry Jack's. It's away from the horrid noise of the pokies, and if there are any under 18s, I think they're allowed in/near there before a certain time.

[DeeGan]

Thanks Steve

I have emailed the club re: ticketing allocation though I might give the Panthers a ring today.

Isn't the NRL doing any special prices for Season ticket holders this year.. They should also throw in a special interstate price. If you can make the effort to travel to an interstate match you should get a ticket for a good price (giving the game is not a sellout etc), it would not of made much of a difference giving lets just say 5 to 10 interstate people a discount on a GA ticket yesterday

[DIEHARD]

Ok so I'll have to ring up and order a GA ticket.

They really should just use ticketek...

I thought the special prices for season ticket holders was just the Sydney clubs. I think that was worked out through the actual clubs, not the NRL.

For finals games at Penrith it's through ticketek.
No idea why they don't use ticketek, But on the upside, you miss out on the ridiculous booking fee ticketek charge.

[BringBackWillie]

OK, I got an email back from the Panthers and here's the deal with tickets - they don't have a relationship with Ticketek and so the only way you can get advance tickets is over the phone or at the reception of Panthers World of Entertainment. The toll free number for phone sales is 1 800 061 991.

I'm assuming that if we are meeting early as DeeGan suggests at Panthers World of Entertainment, we can just buy tickets there and it'll be cheaper than getting it at the gates.

Hope we can get a good number of Southern Legionaires there on Sunday!

[BringBackWillie]

PS - if anyone can bring a couple more poles, we could do with them for the other banner

You already had a pretty decent turn last weekend. We'll get some new recruits this round, we just need to let people know who and where we are. It's about visibility. I'm working on the site, what we might start doing once it is done, is give out small cards with the address on it to other Coast fans we come across at away games, to give them a means to keep tabs on us and inform them.

Thanks for the info. I'm also waiting on an email back from the Panthers re: flag and banner restrictions, because I want to bring in my flag.

I'm sure we will get some fans off the forum who are in Sydney down there.

[BringBackWillie]

From past experience, we've never had dramas with bringing in large flags

[DeeGan]

I'm assuming that if we are meeting early as DeeGan suggests at Panthers World of Entertainment, we can just buy tickets there and it'll be cheaper than getting it at the gates.

So I am clear - your suggesting we can purchase tickets on Sunday morning before heading over at Panthers World of Entertainment with little fear of being sold out?

[Steve]

I'm guessing if it's going to sell out, it'd be at the gate. This game might draw some extra crowd with the return of Campbell, Swain and Cartwright to Penrith.
Personally I like to call up and buy my tickets over the phone. If i'm travelling a long way to be at the game, I like to be totally sure I'll be at it!

And i've seen plenty of big flags at Penrith, the dragons fans often have a big section of the hill with large flags and such.

You will have to get there around 11am to ensure you can all sit in the same area... it's one of the worst things about Penrith Stadium, the fact that you can't get tickets through ticketek.

I am sure though if you get in early enough on Sunday you will be fine, don't think they'll be that many at the game..
