    last year i got sold part of the cheer-squad's allocation for the west-coast final. a few days later the swans called me up and upgraded me a couple of levels to bargain a trade. bit of a mess but in the end we were all happy.

    actually, my group was stoked when the rain belted down on the cheer-squad's head.
    then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know

      I was pretty pleased with that too, I didn't need the extra incentive!

        Also very glad they were checking membership cards - last year they didn't, though granted it didn't matter so much.
        We got told that the O'Reilly was reserved for Geelong fans and have ended up at the back of the Brewongle
        Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.

          We are concourse people and ended up with Bay 9 instead of our regular Bay Hatley.

          It seems the folks at Macquarie Centre were told they couldn't ask for specific bays/seats/anything and the throngs weren't happy.

I wanted the O'Reilly but she said she couldn't bring it up. My husband has gone back in a rage. Also she didn't ask for memberships. Hope everything going wrong already isn't a bad omen.
            Successful exchange of tickets - got Row R section 5 in the O'Reilly stand I hope these are ok. Does anyone know? No queue and could have bought as many tickets as we wanted.

                  No queues at Enmore Theatre. Only Premium Seats left appear to be in Bradman and Churchill stands.

                    Took me 1 1/2 hours at Castle Hill, they looked at the cards but didn't clip them.
                    Still, I got Bay 7, so all's well that ends well - except that I was 2 hours late getting to work. They all know why, and they expect that sort of thing from me. For some reason I've got a reputation around work as an AFL-holic. Can't imagine why.

                          Looks like the usual balls up.

                          Small queue at Star City this morning, got tickets @ 9.10 in O'Reilly. Although they clearly stated one ticket/member ticket, as usual they weren't checking so closely. I saw several people picking up multiple tickets.

                          They have reserved Bays/Sections (?) 1&2 in O'Reilly for Geelong (not the whole stand) and the girl was complaining that the "system" wasn't allowing her to see available indiv. seats in O'Reilly, it was just "pick a bay and see what comes up". Explains why some of you might've had trouble there.
                          Never sat there before (been a Noble man since we were members), should be interesting.

                          I wonder if they'll put part of the Noble on sale later on in the week. Hard to see SCG members filling that up.

                            Nah, I actually think that it will be chockers in there, since every member has up to 4 tickets they can use at the Swans. I think it will be standing room only by the time the games starts.

                            10% off for mentioning RWO when you buy. Great Christmas presents!

                                Flop, I'll swap you 2 Churchill tix for 2 O'Reillys. You may not get used to watching the game from side on!
