I bought this as a mothers day present, and naturally got my brother to tag along as well
First we left early suspecting that the seating would be unallocated and we had 3 tickets, so we headed out and arrived there at approx 6:15pm, (the doors opened at 6pm)- the game wasn't due to start till 7:15pm, we obviously didn't go early enough as all parking was taken, not to mention all the surrounding streats were crammed with cars. For some strange reason there was no offering of paid parking on the website when I purchased the tickets.. (Ticketdirect)
So off we went to a small parking lot (the parking of a local netball club where we paid $5 to park, I don't mind this so much, as the money they recieved went towards their local club).
Anyway parking aside, we made our way in to the stadium, where sure enough the seating wasn't allocated and we had to try and find 3 seats next to each other- which actually wasn't too hard, the ANZ Championship games aren't exactly sold out every week....
Somehow we managed to sit in front of the only 2 lunatic 10 year olds in the whole stadium who preceded to drive my mum crazy until I switched places with her. There are lots of kids there which I think is great for the sport. But these two seemed like someone had paid them to spend the night driving us crazy, first the kept smacking their blue batons together the whole night, not just when a team scored, it was like one of those toys that you pull the cord back and the monkey bashes the sticks together, except they never stopped, of course their parent's were no where in sight (I looked for them), Iam guessing they were used to their kids annoying other patrons watching the netball, and kept well away.
The food was great at $4.00 for a small tub of hot chips with a drop of sauce, not suprising really..
Well the Mystics lost but the game was great to watch, next time I'll get a front row seat so as not to have 2 little annoying monkeys sitting behind me...
