That would just be some loose change in your unused ashtray wouldn't it?

I hate Arsenal yet still forked out over $600 for the CL final against Barca in Paris and that was just for general admittance. Thats a good price you got for a box. Im like you, ill pay whatever it costs to see a soccer game

That was cheap Jim coz Bolton were classed as a C or D team. For an B game its 500 pounds and for an A game its something ridicolous like 600 pounds!

I'd probably part with $500 to see Essendon play in a GF.

Paid $500 for a ticket in 2008 to see Cats lose :(
Went with a great mate who is a Hawks supporter, and it was his 40th birthday the Sunday following, so it was a good weekend for him.

Would do it again for around that price, but only if Cats are playing, and I was with a mate or two. Otherwise I am content to watch it back in Adelaide with the boys. :partyman:

Top tier. Section Q, from memory.
Even though we were way up, you could really watch the game unfold a few plays ahead. I was happy, apart from the result.

this device - or app - sounds good. Where can I find it? Was having a discussion at the golf club last week about how much we were earning back in the 80's and what would that equate to now and no one could accurately predict or guess it

Looks like I'm up for a bit more money for my trip to the GF, just got speeding fines from the same spot on the Western Ring Rd for the trip to the Prelim and to the GF. DOH!

Unfortunately, income from shares and capital in my Super fund is down a bit.
My income last year was $37K, down from $44K the previous year.
I need interest rates to rise - I had been counting on the ALP to stick to tradition and generate inflation, and thus trigger the Reserve Bank to oblige.. ;)
