Critically acclaimed real-life couple David Ross Paterson (Frost/Nixon, Benjamin Button, Chopper) and Cecelia Specht (Criminal Minds, Castle, Neighbours) battle it out in a Grand Final Week comedy for lovers and haters of Football alike.

Reserve your Seats to experience this hilarious and heart-warming comedy about life, love and new beginnings - spinning a contemporary angle on traditional gender roles and their relationship to sport.

A football ‘conscientious objector’ (Celia Specht) has claimed her footy-fanatic ex-husband’s Grand Final tickets in a messy divorce. Now, watching the game for the first time she is blissfully immune to its attractions- and instantly locks horns with her ex-husband’s loud and burly footy-mate (David Ross Paterson) who becomes her reluctant companion over four eventful quarters. They make a seriously mismatched couple with little to offer each other. Or do they?

From Melbourne and New York Fringe Winners Boxing Day Productions, Reserved Seating Only offers a witty insight into the battle of the sexes set in the context of our national obsession with sport.
