What time does the box office at the ground open? We have a couple of friends coming on my complementaries. Would hate for them to be left outside.

Thanks guys will come up and give it a go Friday.
You definitely can take your comp tickets up early, my wife took 4 up 3 days ago to the stadium to exchange for actual tickets. Highly recommend you do it, as those ticketek booths are going to be a nightmare on gameday. When she was there getting her tickets two Italians were there getting tickets and one of them said his friend had flown from Italy to watch Del Piero. The man is loved, no doubt about that.

So...
Del Piero won't be risked as Sky Blues hope for green light
ALESSANDRO Del Piero will be given every opportunity to prove his fitness for the game against the Central Coast Mariners but Sydney FC coach Ian Crook says he will not risk starting his marquee man unless he is given the green light by medical staff.Worry ...

The Italian is struggling with a minor hamstring injury, and limped off the training field clutching his leg on Thursday when he felt a recurring tightness in his muscle. His early exit means he is yet to complete a full training session since Sydney's 2-1 win against Perth Glory on Sunday, a match he nearly missed due to his injury. The coaching staff allowed Del Piero to train at his own pace this week and work extensively with his personal trainer, Giovanni Buonocore. But he is no certainty to play the Mariners on Saturday night as Crook refuses to gamble on his star player's fitness so early in the season.
''We'd already prediscussed that he wasn't going to do the full session and go out there and do it light, so we'll see how he is tomorrow, and if he is good, great,'' Crook said. ''If he's not, certainly the one thing we're not going to do is … push him and lose him for six weeks for the sake of just having him play.''
Del Piero will take part in the club's final training session on Friday, and will likely be given until match day to prove he has shrugged off his injury. Should he not regain fitness in time for the trip to Gosford, he will join a list of first-team players sidelined with injuries. Defenders Pascal Bosschaart, Fabio and Adam Griffiths have been ruled out for the match, alongside former Socceroo Jason Culina and young forward Joel Chianese.
''We'll leave that until very much the last minute. Alessandro has obviously pulled up sore after the weekend so we'll have to see how he is,'' Crook said. ''He's just got some tightness in there … I was stunned that he got through last week. At this stage last week, it was looking like he wasn't able to play but he got through.''
Blake Powell has been recalled to Sydney FC's provisional match-day squad along with Dimitri Petratos, who is on standby to fill for Del Piero. Terry Antonis is on international duty with the Young Socceroos to add to a long list of absentees, but Crook will not make any decisions on the final team until closer to the game.
'We're obviously a bit short at the moment. We've got [Yairo] Yau and Blake Powell who can come into that mix. Chianese is still obviously not there yet. We'll fiddle with a few things tomorrow [Friday],'' Crook said.
Young striker Mitch Mallia has started all four games this season, and could stake a claim to play in his favoured position in the absence of Del Piero. Mallia has been deployed predominantly on left midfield and, while he said he was enjoying learning a new role, he was also happy to lead the Sky Blues attack. ''Of course if Alessandro isn't playing, we're going to be missing him,'' he said. ''I'm happy to play anywhere. I'm a striker by trade but I'm learning my role on the wing and trying to get better for every game, so I'm really happy to play anywhere.''
