If they employed a half decent events co-ordinator this sort of thing wouldn't happen.

Yes it is 25 years since coming to Sydney but they were advertising as "25 years IN sydney" (my emphasis) and not 25 since arriving in Sydney.
Bit like the millenium argument this one (I still think they celebrated that a year early).

They did celebrate it a year early.

Its the swans 25th year in Sydney. Its 24 years since the first game in 1982.

One of the original NRL clubs(the Roosters) are celebrating their centenary season next year, a year earlier than when the NRL is planning to celebrate. 1908-2007 100 seasons 99 years.

That's how I saw it when the AFL was celebrating it's "centenary", although IMO the AFL is less than 20 years old IIRC.

This is upsetting. I had 20 days worth of plans and that's not happening anymore due to the Ball not going through. If I was turning 25, I would celebrate the year I turned 25, not the year after meaning I was 25 years old.

Upsetting!!!! I was flying back especially from Italy. Look at the good side ...I can now come back overland on my new Vespa.

Don't you celebrate at the end of the year? For exemple you celebrate turning 25 at the end of your 25th year, not at the start.

Bloods will be jealous.

Think this is probably just a matter of poor ticket sales or something, so the decision was made to celebrate the 25th birthday as opposed to the 25th season.

Maths and Logic are not part of Bon's repertoire!

My dad said the same thing. People probably bought tickets to other functions and couldn't afford to pay 200$ or 250$ for a Ball ticket (which is expensive, but people from Sydney and Melbourne were willing to pay that much!)
