Definitely take Cruisers advice on this one. I lost my Dome virginity last weekend with a seat in Row U of Level 3.... spent half the night looking at the big screen (and even THAT was obscured by curving poles coming down from the closed roof).

Pay the extra money for a good seat, thats what Im doing for the Carlton and Richmond games.

We were in rows g and h and they were fine. Mind you at the GF we were in the back row at the G, couldn't even see the scoreboards. But we were there.

Sure rows G and H are fine (how do you spread across two rows GS14?), as is row M, but row X sucked.

ah, just reading the "but we were there" line makes me smile the crappiest ticket at the GF is still better than the best corporate box at the Dome

My GF ticket is framed now, on the wall above my PC. I got Kirky to sign it for me on September 30, just after he got the Bobby Skilton medal for 2005. Ah, what a year.....

My ticket, members card and a WEG poster are framed and on the wall.

the Telstra dome map doesn't show what bays are GA.

No luck from TicketBastard either "approx. 20 bays each on Level 1 and Level 3 will be GA". Useful..................

Speaking of interstate ticketing, anyone know the best way to get around to getting good tix for Round6 @ the Gabba?

Our memberships don't guarantee any kind of seating up there does it?

Either direct from Ticketel of via the club (details were in the club magazine I think, or in the membership envelope, somewhere anyway). Just ring "membership" about 3 weeks out with your CC details. You'll be seated in with other Swans fans and they'll post the ticket to n the week before the game.

This is standard for QLD, SA and WA (but not Vic) games

There were 14 of us there. Two rows...aisle seats, great view, lousy result.

Hmmmm, so how early should one rock up to get a decent seat in GA???

I'd also like to know? if anyone knows!

Last year when I went to the Roos vs Carlton game there was 40,000+ at that game, but we didn;t have any trouble getting fairly good seats in Lev3 (unreserved).

If there aren't that many people is there anything or anyone stopping us from nipping into Level 1 and taking some seats somewhere?

You should be OK in the GA areas, I'm sure the staff will be able to help you with where those bays are.

We usually get there about an hour before the game starts and you can get in the second or third row on level 3 (but not on the wings) - usually just near the 50 arc. Last Saturday we had tickets in A row on level 1 in Bay 19 and they were brilliant. Worth every cent.

A row........... that would be right on the fence, is that right?????

Floppin, you should be able to rock up & buy a ticket at the gate, especially if you get there before 6.

I have panicked in the past about 'sell-out' games against Collingwood et al in the past. I got there really early, went to the Gate 6 that i swear NOBODY goes to (left of screen end) & got straight into an empty stadium.

Against Carlton you'll be able to get straight in. No need to pre-book, just rock up.

Firstly this is not a designated all ticket game so you will not need to reserve a seat for level 3 like last week. If you don't mind sitting on level 3 then just rock up and pay the $18.50 and you will get a seat.

As for level 1 this is a little more tricky as you can play the system and not pay the reserve seat fee.

All tickets for level 1 are reserved, nothing is GA. What Telstra Dome do is that if on the night reserved ticket sales are low they will ask people if they would like to sit on level 1 for the price of admission to make it look better for TV.

Outside of games against either Essendon or Collingwood at Telstra Dome I have always been able to get a seat on level 1 without reserving one by getting to the ground around an hour before the game. I will be taking this option for the game.

So if you are desperate to sit on level 1 and are willing to pay the $41.00 to do it then by all means reserve the ticket. If you do want to reserve on level 1 then ask for a seat at the Bourke Street footbridge (Coventry) end of the ground as this is our designated end and is where the cheersquad and team will run out.

Hope this helps.

Each aisle has a ticket person on it to stop people from doing this. But they leave position sometime into the second quarter.

Nothing stopping you then from moving down from level 3 to level 1 and take a seat.

But as per my other post, you maybe able to get a seat on level 1 without paying the reserved seat fee. Just ask when you rock up at the ticket counter and see what they say.
