If seller has been contacted by email he has every chance of completeing the deal and would gladly delist for the right price if not taken off already.minimising his chances of getting caught
cricket australia knew there would be demand and should have structured access accordingly.
I for one am glad they did`nt

Default Re: Bingeing Poms hijack Ashes seats

Without wanting to gloat ...

I managed to secure 6 tickets for each day's play at the WACA on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday ...

I for one, cannot wait ...

Bring it onnnnnnnnnnn.

Now how much can I get for a pair of Gold Admission Coldplay and Subi RW tickets ???

Life in Perth is just beauty mate.
