I know AFLNSW have given away at least 3000 tickets for this match, there might be a few more there than you think.

Who do they give away these tickets to? I've never been offered one.

if you are involved in local or junior clubs you would get a batch of 8 per swans home game.

Will the game being in the day have an affect on the crowd attendance?

Cuts out vampires but we'll pick up those left over from the Bledisloe so much of a muchness.

[The Undertaker]

I think around 40,000.

Any more and i won't complain.

Given the City to Surf,Bledisloe Cup the previous day and the League games on the Sunday, I would say in around 50,000 would be a decent crowd

Hasn't been brought up yet as far as I can see, but didn't the Olympic movement insist on Stad Oz being aligned EW to avoid shadow on the arena. Sun could be a big issue towards the end. I was under the impression that was why all our games there so far have been at night.

Wasn't there a day practice match out there before this season begun?

Yep there was. And there was a Wizard Cup game out there last year v Carlton too. Haing said that though, the sun ends up on a very different angle in February/March compared to August, so not too sure what kind of effect this will have on shadows.

It may increase it. It'll be easier to get home by public transport after the game, especially for the many of us who dont live in the Eastern Suburbs.

They're giving anyone who is playing in the Sydney Schools comp currently running over the next 3 or 4 weeks 1 Adult + 1 child ticket. This is to coincide with the Indep. Schools select teams curtain raiser to the main game. This one starts @ 10 am.
This is what has kicked the ACT game off to different venue
