Lions tickets public sale

    Hey guys, just wanted to get some feedback as tickets for the Lions go on public sale in a couple of hours.

    The ARU website & official Lions websites both say that people in UK/Europe have to go thru the official Lions travel agent but they only do packages - no tickets only deals.

    If I have an account with Ticketek, registered to an address in Sydney, will I be able to purchase tickets on on a Netbank debit card but from Ireland? Or will the website pick up that my IP address is outside Australia & block the sale? I am currently back in Ireland taking a break between my WHVs and haven't been able to organise any mates to purchase tickets for me so thinking about trying to purchase them myself - just dont wanna spend the money if I'm not gonna get the tickets.

    Any thoughts/comments welcome...

    It shouldn't block you, but you can only pay by Visa/Mastercard/AE
    so unless your debit card is visa/mastercard debit

    You will need an address to post them to however

    Netbank debit card is Mastercard & address I registered is where I lived before so tickets will be deliverable there. Fingers crossed I suppose...

    Talk about a kick in the teeth. Logged on since 8 this morning to buy a couple of Silver Class tickets.

    Once it opened, I got my 2 tickets and went to my wallet for my Credit Card..... No credit card. The missus took it yesterday. Only $200 left on my Dr Card, so instead of 2 good positioned silver tickets, all I was able to buy was a couple of standing tickets.

    Absolutely sickened

    Had 2 Silver tickets for the Sydney test, and then got kicked out/timed out as I was entering the credit card details! Such a terrible website but got sorted with 1 silver ticket which will have to do. Not ideal to be on my own but hoping it'll be worth it to be there.

    Now for the Brisbane test tickets on sale in 8 minutes....

    Personally I think its crazy having the Melbourne game in the Eithad stadium and not the MCG. Good luck to all trying to get tickets.

    Anyone know are tickets available from any rugby clubs in Ireland or is it just the official travel agent? Its a pure money racket if tickets are just available with the package deal

    I got tickets for Melbourne test and Rebels match. Would love to get tickets for Sydney match. I'm playing rugby here in Melbourne so maybe I still have a chance.

    @statina, whoever you are, I owe you a few beers!

    By pure chance I logged on to boards, and was surprised to see an old thread of mine reappearing. Hadn't managed to get First Test tickets but thanks to you - I now have! Cheers! Can't wait for this tour...

    Got 2 platinum tickets for Sydney test $300 each. Would anybody like to swap tickets my Plantinum for Bronze or Silver tickets (pay me the difference of course)?? Might be a bit too expensive for me. Give that im in Melbourne so I would have to pay for my trip to Sydney, accoummodation etc.

    :eek: $300?! Bloody hell, that's steep.

    I know the Lions are only here once every 12 years but still.

    Has anyone got their tickets from Ticketmaster for the Melbourne test yet? I booked them months ago but haven't gotten the email with the ticket link to print yet.
