What's the story with tickets at Adelaide ?(Have never been there- but seriously will go if the swans are not in Perth)Originally posted by JF_Bay22_SCG
Frustratingly once again in Adelaide the Cheer Squad will be situated away from the other Swans supporters.

Do the members get an allocation? Or is it best in, best dressed? If the latter what's the chances of getting a decent ticket?
You probably should wait till a bit later JF or you might end up in the wrong place. The Subi game won't finish till 7pm on Sat.Originally posted by JF_Bay22_SCG
Because at 5pm on Saturday I want to be going to an internet cafe in the Cross booking flights somwhere.
And the AFL will not announce the match schedule until around 6pm Sunday. A Friday night game is a possibility.
The AFL runs ticket distribution for ALL finals - not the home team. We will have the same ticketing opportunities as WC or Crows members. The reverse is also true for our home final though the size of StadeOz makes quotas a moot point.Originally posted by Nolie

The first sale period (probably Monday) will be restricted to club members (both teams) with specific (but not necessarily equal) allocations to each. After that first period any tickets left become open slather.
The AFL will announce all ticketing details during the week for the possible venues. It's a bit easier this year than most as they KNOW there will be games in at Subi and AAMI - it is just the opponent to be decided
It?s all guesswork but presumably the AFL would look to give the team that finishes first the longer break.
Swans being in the 2 v 3 would be more likely to be Friday night.
That's my prediction.
If Kangaroos and Geelong host finals it will be taken into consideration that they both play on Sunday in rnd 22.

I think the AFL will be thinking more about tv than the teams. They are already saying that it looks likely the MCG will host the two EF in week 1.
I think we'll be playing at Subi. Unless they want to start the game at 5.30 (still daylight?) then that one is unlikely to be Fri because of scheduling (esp into Sydney). They could get a big local crowd to the G for that night though. So EF on Fri.
If you are right and they want to give the winners the most chance to recover, that'll be on Sunday (if the Eagles win R22 that'd be an 11am bounce, though - for the league at 4pm). So our game is probably going to be on Sat arvo.
Just a guess.
Friday night at AAMI would really upset all the carpark BBQers - how could they arrive mid-afternoon and get set up?
At Subi would make it effectively impossible for anyone (not wealthy) from Sydney to get there. My guess is we will be on Sat night (at either Subi or AAMI). The AFL likes to use Swans finals to get prime-time exposure.
Sunday is a possibility though.
As we will most likely be playing the loser of hopefully a hard slog while we *should* have a comparatively easy game perhaps Friday night would be best.
Last year Ten telecast all the finals - I think that may happen again this year? So NRL clashes aren't really an issue.Originally posted by Go Swannies

TEN gets ALL the finals - it's in the contract. The question is how much TEN wants to go head-to-head with NINE on a Friday night.Originally posted by giant

Though the Saints final last year was a Friday night (IIRC) - I'm trying to obliterate that game from my memory.
That's correct, Ch10 broadcast all the finals (much to Kerry Packers annoyance) and if its a Friday night game, it will be broadcast live into Sydney.

I still believe the game at Subi will be on Friday night giving a looser of that game enough time to recover for SF game, especially if the looser was travelling interstate.
You're quite right!!Originally posted by j s
