Yes normally this is the case with IHG hotels but I had similar issues when trying to book recently. As it does not take much effort I still check each night separately in case I get a better deal on any given night.

I now have a confirmed booking @ HOP checking in August 1, and checking out August 3. Now to work out the best way to / from the airport...

I'm meeting up with a colleague to do some work on the Friday, so Skybus looks good, and then Skybus could even get me back there, given that we may be @ Telstra Dome for the footy on Sunday arvo, and the stop is right next door ?

Due to lack of interest in a box at the TD for the footy, I have decided not to follow up on it. Thanks to the 3 people who emailed me and said they were interested however, 3 ain't enough and it makes it just far too expensive per head. I can purchase Medallion Club seats through TD for anyone who wants to still come - again, PVT MSG me and I will sort it out - there's still a couple of us going so lets try and get a few more!!!

Go Saints

Mr!

Sorry to hear.
Next time.

I can access Level 1 reserved seats for the Sunday Saints Game against Port Power for $10 to $20ph, depending on how many seats are required.

Reserved seating goes on sale very soon. Any who commit by this weekend I can purchase a ticket for.

Count me in, as an avid Eagles supporter I'm not really too fussed over who wins!

The 1 query I have.. is what should I do with my suitcase

I'll probably be leaving at 3 QTR Time in order to make my flight to PER.

And is it likely to be shielded from the weather? If not, then I may need to leave earlier to schedule in a shower in the QP...

Ross please purchase a ticket for me. I would just love to see the Saints lose live. Beats watching them lose on television.

Can I give you the money while you are in transit in SIN on June 29?

I'm not sure I have enough red blood to sit in a set of footy stands and yell at the top of my voice. Unless we're in a box (and that's not happening).

And for the <insert blasphemy here>, I do not want to be one of those front row seats that wave the banners, wear those wierd scarves and cuss the opposition when they score a goal. (!!!)

But I would like to move my status from Interested to Confirmed. Can't wait for the events listing. I've been to MEL a couple of times, but I've done only the city very quickly and solo. (I wasn't at the OzFest that was held at MEL.)

Flights and accommodation are yet to be determined. I hear Hilton MEL Airport has a 2 x points deal (not bad for making the earliest flight on the Monday morning back to BNE, followed by a smooth train/bus ride to work ). Funds are a premium at the moment still planning my mini-MR/bed-run in NZ....

As far as weather goes, TD(/docklands) has a roof!

It's about 300 metres from the Skybus Depot/SC station, although there's no roof along the overpass where you'd walk.
