Commonwealth Games is coming to … town!
The commonwealth games is coming to town!!! Well, 12 more days to go, and I read that there are half a million game tickets yet to be sold. I guess the residents of the sporting capital of Australia have all taken up foxtel’s offer of paying something like $50 to have 8 games channel streamed into their homes.
What can the game organizers do other than discounting the price of the tickets or even worse, give them away? Entice more visitors into the state and country? Provide more freebies for ticket holders? Autographs of gold medalists?
I’ve been checking out the games souvenirs on the games website here. I think I’ll wait til after the games have ended.

yeaay teh games are to be in town in 11 days .. very sad that almost every one comming into austraia comes from a country with 24 hours train , bus services … the only reason that sydney has almost a 24 hours public transport was due to the syd olympics … they were botherd with wat ppl wud react to it ,,, not to mention the one way- two way tickets .. change your act melbourne ( govnmt ) and help us so we cud help you in the next election
I would take some free tickets! Even though I am new to Melbourne and in theory, the common wealth games should be a tourist type thing I would want to do…I just have no desire to go check them out. That is, inless they start giving away tickets to fill steats! (doubt that would happen though)
The way that the media have already done it to death, you could be forgiven the games have already been on. Personally, I’m over it and they haven’t even started. Free tickets wouldn’t help either. And yeah, just wait to see how public transport fails miserably.
$290 - $490 per ticket for opening ceremony?? no way man…
