I just think that it's slightly evil to start selling the tickets at 9am on a Sunday, especially considering that the Socceroos will be playing until 2am on the same morning...

I think it's quite cool actually. Buying tickets Mon - Fri is always a pain in the bum, as it's usually when most people are starting work. Too many distractions, and employers asking you to be "productive", whatever THAT means! :)

Sunday gave me a chance to get up early, grab a cup of tea, and settle down in front of the computer without the fear of getting assigned something else. :)

Me too!
 
Well, this wins for the most frustrating online registration I've ever done.
I'm registered, but haven't been able to pay. I wanted to register my boyfriend along with me but even though I registered as a student, the "would you like to add a partner" screen would only let me add another person at the adult price, not student price. :mad:

I've been sitting at the computer for more than an hour now trying to register my boyfriend as well, but now I have to go to work.
Hopefully there'll still be some tickets when I come home from work at 2pm, though I'm not exactly optimistic. I'm hoping my registration will still be there, even though I haven't paid. I suppose I'll go without him if I have to.

:mad:
 
I assume that your registration will still count.

EDIT: Hmmm... For students, "Half must be paid on registration and the balance by September 1st to claim the early rate".

I'm all set. I've got a golden ticket. (Search "Ive Got A Golden Ticket" on YouTube. Unable post URLs yet.) :(

Arranged my flights and accommodation last night. :)

Just got home now and had a look. My registration was still there, so I paid it just then. I figure that should be alright. They're all processed by hand anyway as I understand.
 
I'm still looking for a hotel. I've stayed in the Quest World Square before and it was okay but I don't mind walking for 15 minutes down to the Cross to save $50 per night.
 
I'm Defence and I am seriously thinking about staying at Kuttabul. There are some reasonable prices about, but there are seriously outrageous prices being touted.

I normally stay at the Bayview in William Street, but that's when it's paid for by work. I thought of concocting a reason to visit Sydney and getting work to pay for it, but have thought better of it. FWIW, I have stayed at the Vibe and it wasn't great. The Ibis World Square looks a better bet, and cheaper.
 
I'm booked, for the Friday function and the Saturday night dinner. A bunch of other Canberra people are also booked in - we're probably going to do a carpool of some kind.

The Ibis has a $119 per night rate. It's a three minute walk from the Masonic Centre.

Are we talking about the same one? The Ibis World Square (about 3 mins away) is quoting me $149 per night. Perhaps I'll get a government discount.

There was a special this morning, not the conference special, for $119. Just checked it, it's still there. I don't think you could get a better deal anywhere.
