To get your match tickets, you will need to order them thru Ticketmaster.

The price is $15 for adults, $10 for children, and $40 for a 4 person family. Go to this link (click on the working link at the bottom of this message):http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0B003B3CE68070E7?artistid=993536&majorcatid=10004&minorcatid=8&brand=australiaweek
AFANA is offering a hotel for all BBS readers. This rate is $40 to $70 less than you will find on other footy sites.
Doubletree Westwood Announced As Official AFANA Hotel
The official AFANA hotel is the Doubletree Westwood, 10740 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90024. To make your reservation, call 1-800-486-3706.

Car Rental Discounts

Ancillary Events
AFANA had planned to arrange package sales of the ancillary events for the weekend. It was our hope that by selling at least the footy related events as a package we could also include transportation and save you the frustration of having to make yet more phone calls or go to yet more web links to do this. Unfortunately, we were unable to reach any agreement with the USAFL or other parties over this. If future exhibitions are held we will organize our own events if necessary. For now these are the links to use if you wish to attend any of the other events:Ausweek (with links to each event and ordering instructions):
