Well, maybe not a fortnight but I did just book tickets for the quarterfinal matches of the Australian Open in Melbourne. I've never been to a professional tennis tournament before, but after seeing last years interviews with the fans on TV, I think the Aussie Open is a more of a party than anything else.
I had looked at tickets for the finals, but my jaw hit the floor when I saw the prices. I thought I was over sticker shock down here, but that one blew me away. Especially looking at going to the Men's and Women's finals. At least at the quarters, I'll get to see more players and matches at about 3/4 the cost. I just have to make sure to stock up on sun screen before heading down there.
I guess I'll have to start looking for an American flag to bring in case Andy Roddick makes it that far.
