You can also buy tickets through ticketmaster

The Showgrounds Oval (Norm Minns Oval) has a capacity of 11,000 and is located in the centre of Wangaratta off Evans St not far north from the railway station (see Wangaratta oval on the map below).

So you can go by car up the Hume Freeway until the Wangaratta turn-off.

Mmm, don't think I would be taking our guns there, unreal isn't it, as much as people say the NAB cup is not important a loss could actually have serious consequences for loosing teams that have to play on second rate ovals. If this oval is second rate.

I have no idea on the quality though I would speculate its no MCG
I think the Injectors will do what they can to win given they need to make up for letting down the people of wangaratta last year.
The anywhere, anytime Tigers.

It doesn't look that bad, but thats judging from the picture. I suspect they've all played on much worse grounds many times. O'Hanlons home ground was "unplayable on" as practically the whole centre square used to be mud, but since we were going through drought it was seriously as hard as concrete.

Um, not so sure that is the ground. There are two grounds in Wang, one beside the other. That looks like WJ Findlay Oval, the showgrounds is Norm Minns Oval, which is in a lot better nick.

Absolutely correct.
The oval shown is the Wangaratta Rovers ground.
The Wangaratta Magpies ground is the Norm Minns oval and is below (ie across the road) the oval shown on the google pic.
You can just see the oval's blue boundary fence at the bottom left corner.
The access road is shown at the bottom.
On the map you will go under the rail line at c314, turn right at the roundabout as shown and will be facing the oval when you turn to the left onto the Yarrawonga road.
You need to immediately turn right onto the road between the two ovals.
Car access to the Norm Minns oval is usually via a gate about centre bottom of the picture.
