'Del Piero Day' as tickets go on sale

The A-League National Ticket On-Sale opens at 9am (local time in each market) for single match tickets for the entire A-League 2012-2013 season.

"There are so many fantastic fixtures in the first month of the season, including the Melbourne derby, the Grand Final rematch, Ange Postecoglou's return to Brisbane, the debut of the Wanderers and Alessandro Del Piero's home debut,” said the Head of A-League Damien de Bohun.

"But we know there will be a fascination around Alessandro Del Piero, so we've dubbed the National Ticket On-Sale 'Del Piero Day'.

"Alessandro has made it clear he wants to create a legacy for the game in Australia and we believe the first step will be to attract many new fans to the opening weeks of the season.

"Given the quality of the football and the great atmosphere at Hyundai A-League games, we're sure many will come back for more of the top-class entertainment on offer."

Sydney FC Chief Executive Officer Tony Pignata said: "Alessandro’s signing has given Sydney FC a significant lift but his presence will help attract fans to Hyundai A-League matches all over Australia, not just Sydney FC games at Allianz Stadium."

Club memberships remain on sale and premium seats are withheld from public sale to ensure newly-signed members will have a full choice of seating.

The A-League 2012-2013 season kicks off on Friday 5 October with the season's first Melbourne derby at Etihad Stadium.
