Anyone know which part of the ground the Swans supporters will be at Optus Oval, or recommendations where to sit?

Swans members (and probably the public) can sit on the concourse near the goals in front of the Legends stand. You do need to get there at least an hour, if not more, before the game starts. The sun in the eyes can sometimes be a problem late in the game but we haven't had much sun lately so I wouldn't worry. There are usually a lot of Swans supporters in this area so it is quite friendly.---------||--ANNE--||---------- -

There are only 3500 GA tickets available for games at Optus Oval and those are to be shared with Swans Members and the General Public. The best tip for getting a seat in GA is rocking up to the ground at around midday, as by 1pm all GA tickets are sold out. After that you'll be left with buying a seat which costs extra. So if I was you, either go to Ticketek and book a seat in the Legends Stand or rock up at midday and get a GA ticket. Either way your going to end up sitting near Swans fans.
For the past 2 matches at the ground the Legends Stand has been full of Swans fans (the sea of red you don't see at other games in Melbourne) and pretty much cheering loud.Once was, now elsewhereComment

Robbie - do we have to worry about this process or are we guarenteed a seat through the cheer squad?No.1 ticket holder of Nick Davis Fan Club...Comment

You are guarenteed a seat in the Cheer Squad area, like normal. However you must be one of the first 3500 in the ground to get access to your seat. If you turn up early there will be no problems.Originally posted by Cheer Cheer

You can pre-book GA tickets (I'll be in Melbourne that weekend, and I've got mine), but you'll still need to get there fairly early to make sure you get a seat near the other Swans fans.

If we pre-book tickets, and some nice person in the CS keeps seats for me, will I have hassles coming in?

Last year I purchased tickets GA tickets, and got into the ground over 1 hour early, and had to stand on centre wing all game.
It seems that Melbourne fans don't mind paying for a seat and not getting one. The previous night we had the same problem at the MCG for Richmond vs Collingwood - GA in the GS Stand, and had to dodge and weave past security guards to get a seat anywhere - missed the entire first quarter!Comment

Thanks everyone. One final question - I need to get back to the airport pretty sharpish after the game - best place to go and catch a taxi?Regards,

We arrived about 20min before the start and found a couple of seats.Comment

Jules won't have to worry about that, as he has seats in the Cheer Squad, which never has been full at Optus before.Originally posted by Phil Tarbox

Was last year. DEnise even had to stand up, because Mr D Rum was taking up the last spare seat.Originally posted by robbieando

Will be looking to borrow one of Mr D Rum's relatives this time too.

It was really full last time we played there, people kept arriving while the cheer squad were out on the ground asking where the empty seats were, and families had trouble getting seats togetherOriginally posted by robbieando
