Has anyone used them before? Everything seems alright, but there's no info on the ticket. Where you'll be sitting, etc.
Does it let you select a seat/area once you've entered your flight details? Or are you just given whatever?

No choices sorry, everything gets booked and you get your seating at a later date.

I've used Precinct Travel through the club quite a few times. Always been excellent service, seats, flights and accommodation.
Don't count the days, make the days count.

Even with them you don't get seat choices though, it seems to be up to the venue or ticket company? I have done both the Magpies and AFL travel and seating has been good at both. Seems AFL travel have more options on the accommodation places I found.
My wife and I are going to the Brisbane game at Easter staying 4 nights in a one bedroom apartment overlooking the river with balcony walking distance to the Gabba. Flights, tickets and accommodation all up for both of us $1550.
Pretty happy with that!

Nothing wrong with that deal Ken!
I'm sure your game tickets will be good also. I guess they just buy a 'block' of seats for each game?

Thanks guys.
We're going to Brisbane in a group of three. I just like to pick the area I'm sitting in. I'm sure they'd put all the travelling Pies supporters together.

Hmmm, I wonder if I'll still be going?
All booked through AFL Travel.
I guess there's bigger problems out there though. We'll see what happens.

Quite possible that there could be interstate travel bans introduced over the next few months - could become a reality. Just a heads-up.

Got the phone call today from AFL Travel.
Everything to be refunded apart from the transaction fee ($17.95).
But was then told that each hotel is different and may not refund the full amount.
