I dont understand the pessimism or whining in this thread. 70,000+ is still very possible. And the same people complaining about a crowd less than that are also complaining about people who only come to games occassionally or big games. Huh?

cruiser its not pessimisn
its reality
we live in the harbour city and people just dont care
we are not a sporting tragedy that attends the opening a envelope that tens of thousands of victorians would.

as i said there are about 25,000 + genuine hungry australian rules football fans in this city
the rest are there for a night out.
sydneyits just dont care

it wont be a sell out
i will bare my arse down george st if it is

"Just speaking to contact at Swans who tell me there's no likelihood of a sell-out and there should be plenty of tickets available Friday night.

So if you can snag a cheap fare there'll be no dramas at this end.

Cheers,

I wouldn't call a $770 return trip cheap at all...

A harsh but realistic assessment.

But, if they want to turn up on a casual basis all happiness to them. It doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game.

Sport is sport - approach it any way you wish just don't @@@@ anyone off in the process.

Can buy rows of 10 in Premium now for Friday night. How annoying is that.

Those @@@@ing mongrels!!!

I think the fact that the game is on Friday night may have an impact because not as many supporters from Melbourne can fly up due to work commitments. I am unable to take Friday off from work so I unfortunately can't go to the game .

It's Tuesday morning. It's going to be a hot week and the hype is only just warming up. It's a bit early to start thinking the game crowd will be a let down.

As TV and radio and print start the build up, the ticket sales will keep going. I think we'll go close to a sell out.

MMM Sydney have been running "go and get your tickets to the AFL final" ads all day. It's building.

19,000 tickets left as of 5am today?

Still every chance of 70,000+ IMHO

To be honest I still get excited anytime we have more than 25k people to a game.

Those were the days, when you had a whole bay to yourself.

I used to be able to prepare my canapes & gravilax on the empty seats in front, then serve the slightly chilled Pinot on the row behind. A veritable walk through buffet

Ah the memories

To right.

People I sit with at the SCG were served at 9:00am on Wednesday and were told there were no available seats in Premium. I had little hope by 9:10am when I was served.

The AFL knows that club members are desperate to attend finals and will accept the rubbish seats they are offered.

Cheers

Heavens no !

Sadly though, those were the bad old days when Iran was under sanctions and we could only get Iraqi rubbish. However, the quails eggs were easier to come by and the truffles were abundant.
