Telstra Stadium Final

[sharpie]

Ok, this is purely assuming we do get the final at Telstra Stadium at this stage.

I've noticed we can only buy 4 tickets per membership card shown. Why? Last year for the prelim we could buy as many as possible (which I did ).

Anyway, having overcome that problem, I need to decide what tickets to get. They are advertising Premium seats for $60 and Prime for $45 (as well as Standard at $32.50, but I'm not going to be sitting in the nose-bleed section, so I'll count that out ).

Potential Final Ticketing

My question is, where are these seats situated? My guess for Premium would be the concourse on the wings and all of level 4. Prime would be the rest of the concourse.

Does anyone have confirmation or correction?

This is a potential seat allocation mapping at Telstra (Uses some RL match). I am pretty sure this is accurate.

Standard on the cheer squad side of the field is usually the best for the atmosphere - everywhere else for the best view sitting near people who do not clap let alone cheer!

Thanks Wil

Telstra loses some seats for AFL as the ground is pushed out - not sure if it changes the seating plan too much though, but it does change it slightly.

Thanks Wil, but just some thoughts about probably alterations for AFL games:

Category 1 is probably the same as Premium seating.
Category 2 is Prime seating I think, with Category 3 being Standard.

But

I think all the Cat 3 seats at each end of the ground on the concourse will actually be Prime not Standard for AFL because it is a bad place to watch rugby but is still a good place to watch AFL.

Yeah kinda went with out saying... The Premium/Prime/Standard allocation naming seems to be recent.

I don't know... I sat in that section (concourse behind the goals) at the Prelim match and I am sure I did not pay Prime (Cat 2) price for the tickets.

Channel 9 said Saturday night is likely. The TV guide has Saturday night's final scheduled for 7.30pm with Friday nights scheduled for 11.15pm. I assume that means our game on Saturday night.

TV guide is not a good guide unfort - is often printed anytime between Monday and Wednesday.

Hoping for Saturday night for this final - but it could be any old time!!

Sunday night anyone?

[CroatianSwans]

Swans will host final against west coast in week 1 of the finals just heard on channel 10 sports tonight

[benny_w]

I have a feeling that we will play West Coast either Friday night or Saturday Afternoon.

Reason: Elimination Finals are scheduled for Friday night and Saturday Afternoon.

Sydney and West Coast played yesterday so they will probably play at Telstra on friday night and Essendon will play Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday afternoon.

Stay tuned

Benny, the dates aren't set in place like that. Look at the last few years and you'll see the AFL chops and changes to suit themselves and Channel 10 needs.

As to who plays Friday Night, its between us and Brisbane

[Diego]

Would be friday? Ch 10 have the finals so there isnt an issue with Ch 9.
