    Optus Oval

    Just wondering where the best place to sit is at Optus.

    I have been there once before and had to stand behind the goals (at the uni end?) which kind of sucked. Is there a GA section in the legends stand and if so is it seating? If I bought a GA ticket from ticketek would this enable me to sit in the Legends stand?

    Apparently GA tickets are available for Legends Lower Stand. Here's the info you should look at:

    SEATING INFORMATION:
    Gen Adm = General Admission - Legends Lower

    Legends Upper = Reserved Seating

    Restricted View = Restricted View Seats - Legends Upper

    Pratt Stand = Reserved Seating

    RESTRICTED VIEW SEATING:
    There are Restricted View Seats which are in Bays 5 to 17 in the Legends Stand and also in the Pratt Stand. These seats may go on sale closer to match day, pending if no other seats are available.

    TEAM SUPPORTERS BAYS:
    Carlton Supporters Only: Legends Upper Bays 14-17
    Opposition Team Supporters Only: Legends Upper Bays 5-6

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks SXP

    Does this mean that Gen Admin is seating or standing?

    A ticket in the GA will entitle you to sit in the lower level of the Legend Stand
    Once was, now elsewhere

    I normally sit on the wing in front of the Legends stand. I'm an AFL member but i think it's open to the General Public. It is a pretty good viewing spot.

    There is GA seating, but not much. If you don't arrive early, you will only get standing room with a GA ticket.

    Anywhere away from an exit as the view gets blocked after 3/4 time as the Carlton "faithful" head for the door!!!

    I purchased 4 tickets through ticketek in Exhibition Street in the Legends Stand, between the forward pocket and half forward.

    They are seats, I agree standing would suck in a big way

    LRT + Schneids + The Mullett = hope for the future.

    So basically even though you can purchase GA tickets on the lower level of the Legends Stand, you might not get a seat? I thought it would be like the SCG/SA where all Gen Admin is seating.

    No. I went to the Lions v Blues game, arrived about 1.20pm and we could only get standing room GA, otherwise it was $35 for a reserved seat.

    No, what I mean is that I have purchsed my tickets on Ticketek already (Gen Admin), so does this guarantee me a seat or is it still possible that we may have to stand?
