Prelim Final Crowd @ Telstra

[swantastic]

There will be 100000 there,oh sorry must be thinking of the GF the week after.

[Dave]

So how many tickets left?

Anyone...?

Now we know it's freo ... do you think we'll fill the stadium?
I think there'll certainly be more room for the swannie bandwagon if they wanna come and play.
Thoughts??

This is a much bigger game than the 2003 Prelim. Freo being our opponent shouldn't matter too much. 2003 was a pretty large crowd and Brisbane didn't exactly flood our stands with fans for that game either.

I think Sydney fans are probably just as bigger bandwagoners as Collingwood fans in so far as (even if it is subconscious) they will actually be more willing to go with non-trad Freo as the opponent seeing as were would appear to be MORE favoured. ie half the decision of whether to go (for non hard core fans) is about how likely YOUR team is to win.

Playing Freo = more people going I reckon (even though, in reality Freo will be harder to beat than melbourne..as we langer term watchers know).

Hope that makes sense.

I understand what you're trying to say. But frankly, can't understand why you bothered.

Pretty fatuous argument predicated on some seriously flaky assumptions.

His name's not frankly.

How many of your 73 posts have actually had anything say you toss-pot? Try going back through some of mine over the last 3 or 4 years and you'll see a mix of boring @@@@e and brilliant insight...not to mention wit and wisdom (look it up in the dictionary). Pull your head in.

70000 Swans fans + 5000 Dockers is my guess!

My little bro is a dockers fan, hence the fact why my parents have demanded we be seprated for this game(me fly to sydney...he stays in perth)

anything under 73000 would be dissapinting i figure. What kind of media attention is it getting over there atm with all the thugby league going on

p.s. 30,000 at the Rl last night hahahahahaha

Reading in the Telegraph today, there are 60.000 tickets sold so that would leave 25-25,000 tickets to sell this week

Whoah. Settle down, Big fella! Save that anger for the game on Fri. I'll look forward to reading the last 3 years of your posts. Hopefully, they won't all be calling the faithful Bandwagoners and comparing us to Collingwood fans, though.

60,000 sold already is amazing. As momentum gathers as the game approaches, I wouldnt be surprised now to see it sell out. Sydney loves a big event.

Does anyone know how the Telstra Member's allocation works? Could be the difference in a sellout or not. I was wondering if their seats get offered for sale if they're not taken up?

Telstra stadium members had their opportunity to nominate to go to the event on Monday and Tuesday. Intially the Memebers reserve was quite large, then they increased it, then after the deadline closed, they shrunk the reserve.
Those seats have now be released to the public.

The attendance could be 77 777...
