ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.
ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

I guess so whoever the opposition is, their supporters can get tickets in all areas.

Couldn't get Bay 19, was told only seats on western side in Bay 15 (typical cat A seats no family tickets). Rang back later and now have Family Tickets in Bay 17. ;D

Bay 14, Row EE. 2 tix @ $85 (ouch). I rang 132849 instead of the Net purchase, as it seemed everyone was on the net sending Valentine's Day messages!
I am bringing a mate, he's been with me at Mariners matches and Socceroos matches and thick and thin.
This season, I've hardly been in the Bay 16 area at BT, so I didn't want to upset any karmic influence by hitting the Bay 23 Marinators Area for this one.
Was told by the guy on the line that Bay 13 (halfway line) was pre allocated (FFA/Mariners club?). He also tried to tell me that only the Eastern side (into the setting sun) of the stadium was available in Cat. A, but when I told him that there was only about 3000 members of the Mariners and today was the first day of issue and only to Mariners members, I found that hard to believe! Told him I wanted Western side as close to halfway line and voila Bay 14! Tried on the net and the ticketek system would only offer Eastern side.

Will obviously get my tickets on Friday from the club (thanks again Jeff and all involved) but I decided to get 2 tickets today for my girlfriend and her mum who is coming from Adelaide. Went on the net and they wanted to give me bay 29. So I rang up instead and asked for Bay24 because that is the mezzanine level to the right of bay 23. The guy said "they haven't released those tickets yet". So I told him that my gf will be on crutches so he released some of those tickets and I got what I wanted. So people if there is a Bay you want and they won't give it to you, just say you have someone with you who is on crutches, elderly and can't walk to far or any other excuse and they will release tickets in any bay pretty much.

What sort of stunt are tickettek trying to pull by NOT selling seats anywhere in the SFS except for the Away Supporters Bay, today? I can understand, and accept, that the FFA and its partners have grabbed the best possy at Bay 13, but ffs, the other bays should be up for grabs, except the away supporters bay.

On another note, does anybody else have "THE COVE" in dark bold font plastered over their tickets? Perhaps optimistic thinking by the FFA - newsflash, Sydney didnt make it!
Friend of mine managed to get 10 tickets (4 for her family, 4 for mine [we're all members] and 2 for some friends who are non-members) Bay 34 row G. Completely the opposite to where we wanted (Bays 13, 14 or 15). She was told 13 and 35 had not been opened.
When we're paying $85 a pop you'd reckon we get to sit where we want. Can anyone tell me if I'm going to be blinded by the setting sun?
If you think the prices for the GF are bad spare a thought for those going to the game this weekend. A mate tells me that EAS has been under $30 all season. All of a sudden semi tiks were $35 and now the tiks are $45. What gives? If this isn't a blatant grab for cash then what is? Are we getting anything extra for the extra $ (apart from the gray hairs)? Perhaps the Newcastle fans should have saved their money instead of throwing at Hutcho.

I had 20 people lined up for GF tickets (I have 5 members in my family). All but 2 bailed out when finding out the price of the Cat A seats. I'm pretty gutted that after following the lads all year, not missing a home game, watching all the away games late at night on the DVDs that my mate with Foxtel does for me, I simply cannot afford to be at the Grand Final.
What will happen if Roar make it past the scum ? A half full stadium ?
Being a Football fan in Oz is a pretty expensive exercise for anyone, let alone those of us with a mortgage and a young family to support. Aside from the reasonable price to watch the Mariners, everything else just gets more and more expensive.
If you want to watch your team away (or the EPL, or the Socceroos) you have to have Foxtel. If you play the game you are hit up with levy after levy. There is the ongoing FFA one to cover previous stuff ups. FNSW chime in and then there is dear old CCF, surely the biggest bunch of idiots ever to run anything. 1 million in debt says it all. Imagine if CCF ran the hospitals !
Ok, I've had my whinge, I'm over it........
I really hope that a lot of our fans do make it down, that the Cove is a sea of yellow singing loud and proud as our boys claim the toilet seat.

If you are purchasing over the net they will give you the next available seats in the catagory you chose. If you want a specific bay you will have to book over the phone.
At Mingara this morning we were told prior to buying the tickets that the only seats available were from 23 to 34. We were at Mingara at 4am this morning to ensure our chances of buying seats in the western stand with the sun at our backs. After waiting 5 hours to get in to buy the tickets we then felt obligated to buy where we were told and not where we wanted. I was really pissed off by this highhanded attitude of the FFA
I rang FFA after I got home and spoke to some bloke who said that the seating was subjective. What does that mean? It means that some people may not like looking into the sun at the game whilst others would be happy to do that. That is subjective. I told well how come I wasnt given the opportunity to make the choice. That certainly is not subjective. After seven and a half minutes on the phone to this !#!W#it he said that we would just have to agree to disagree.
You make the effort to get the seats of choice but can only get the choice of seats that the FFA released. It is a total crap situation and from what this guy said FFA has blocked off the choice seats for themselves.
