cobo_11 Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Hey All, For those of us who are ignorant to MAS ( I know what it is, by the way :-) ) How do I purchase tickets and whatever to it? And how do I get a map and details of how to get there, like what trams to catch from Flinders St or Spencer St stations? or could I walk to it from them? I would like to go this year but I don't know melbourne too well or have ever been to an Auto Salon, let alone a Melbourne one :-) Cheers Corey.

(B1) MR_fanny Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 u can pretty much walk there from flinders and spencer, spencer being the easiest and closest. just go to crown and its right next to it. as for tickets...u can pay at the door. no secret society stuff haha. just follow the crowd:D:D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/36923-mas-info/#findComment-736962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKY031 Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 You can catch plane, bus, train to Melbourne. From there, you need to get to the melbourne exhibition and convention centre. (not far from Spencer St station) Go here for maps You can buy tickets on the day you attend, at the ticket box, or you can bypass the ticket box and buy tickets at machines along the walls of the centre.

Jamezilla Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 The line last year was rather long - so best to get in early. The event is help in the Melbourne Exhibition Centre (Jeff's Shed) in Southbank - over the road from the Casino.

adznight Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Rather long ain the word, it was fu(ken awefull! I waited AT LEAST 1 hour to get in, queue's from one end of the building and two rows wide. Get there early if you wanna go for sure! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/36923-mas-info/#findComment-738747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKY031 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 after we'd waited about half an hour in line, an attendant came up to us and said that we could purchase tickets from the vending machines. I guess if you don't know the machines are there, then you'd just wait in line. Only bonus to waiting in line, was that you got a free magazine [sarcasm]*hoorah*[/sarcasm] and a useless autosalon card. this year i'll be using the vending machine to bypass the ticket line.

cobo_11 Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 All I can say to help is, just make sure you do your research on where ever you get the work quoted/done. Dont always go on what people say, as I have found out that, for myself, sometimes all the hype and praise does not match the actual service you recieve. I would imagine an exhaust place could do the piping for you no worries...? I think I remember reading a thread a while ago about a place in Oakley that is supposed to be quite good, an exhaust place ofcourse :-) Dont know if that thread was lost in the infamous server crash or not...hehe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/36923-mas-info/#findComment-742132 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AutoTrust Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 The massive length of the queue is why there is 2 MAS events this year, this has to be a good thing and here's hoping that SAU wins best car club...... if we're in the running for it, as we're really a bunch of nutbags that chat online!!!!
