Swans V Bulldogs - Crowd Prediction

[Primmy]

Lots and lots, plus me and 4 others.

[dreadom]

G'day fellow bloods fans, my prediction is 48, 000.

Slight Hijack, but it is related to the thread.

This is my first post here. Sorry I haven't been on here sooner, but I can see me losing a few hours a day here.

I grew up on the mid north coast of NSW, and so was a rugby league player and fan. But I remeember being about 10 and watching a game of VFL on one of the two channels we had at the time. And I distinctly remember I was a devotee from that day forth. I have been a Swans fan since they moved to Sydney.

I never got to see them live until much later, 1997, as I was living in Northern Queensland. In 2004 I moved to the Uk, so following my beloved Swans, became a real drama. We didn't have foxtel that first year, and after trying in vain to get one of the 120 tv's in the nearby sportsbar in Liverpool, to screen a match ( let alone the final) so we would drive three hours to my inlaws to watch their foxtel.

Now 2010 sees my wife and I back in Australia. Pensively I took my wife to a game early in the season. To my delight she has become hooked and we have only missed one home game since.

Our enjoyment of the last few games (ok so we missed the Geelong game) has been heightened because we have had the good fortune to have friends visiting from interstate and overseas. It was a blast, explaining the fundamentals of AFL to our friends from Liverpool at the recent Hawks match. And you better believe they were cheering and shouting with jubilee as we all stood in ovation after Jetta's first goal.

That said, does anyone have a spare members pass or guest pass for Saturday?? I know this is pretty bolshi of me to ask and I do apologise for my brashness, but my best mate is returning to NSW after serving with the RAN off the Northern territory, for the last 4 years.

Don't worry, I asked my wife and she's not giving up her ticket either.

G'day fellow bloods fans, my prediction is 48, 000.

.

that would be amazing seeing as the capacity is 46-47k I hope people storm the gates and pack it out to 55,000 hehe.

No spare ticket sorry... got quite a few of my own mates going who aren't members and guest passes were already sold out by wednesday (yesterday) so we had to get em silver tickets and sit in the non members with them.

Yeah I figured my request was hopeful but most likely unachievable, so figured my prediction should be also.

You can easily purchase member guest passes from ticketek, just need your member number.

Sold out mate, I tried soon as I learned my mate was going to be back in Sydney. i.e. yesterday arvo. Alas, I was a day late.

Wow must be a good crowd coming then!

[Flossie]

Surely we must get at least 35,000 for this game.

Will the election affect attendance?

Even if I wasn't really excited about this game and planning to attend, I would still turn up just to get away from all the election hullaballoo.

[dreadom]

Yep, working out how to explain to my best mate that we are leaving him at home whilst we go to the game. hehehe

If all hope falls we will have to forgo our beloved noble stand for three seats together.

Check on Ebay, a friend of mine picked up two fairly decent seats for $40 not long ago

ticketek is already listing bronze tickets as "single seats only" left... i reckon we are going to see over 40k

[sfan]

31,000 or there abouts. Hope for more.

Surely someone has a wedding or something to attend and has a spare members pass?????

WARNING ! WARNING ! SEAT ALERT in BREWONGLE!!!!!

I have two PREMIUM seats in the Brewongle Stand that I can sell. My two kids are with "she who had to be formerly obeyed" this weekend and she won't let them go to the game. Serious karma attraction on her part. However,

All I ask from those mere mortals who would like to sit with the chardonnay sipping, caviar consuming Brewongle elite is this:

1. Seats are about $70 normally in this section. So if you pay for your own seat upgrade (about $20 per seat) and two beers per seat for me (mid -strength) as I'm driving and the tickets can be yours. I will forgo the potato batons on this Saturday as I am watching my waste line for summer.

2. I plan to be there for the start of the Ressies game.

Preference will be given to single volaptuous individuals of the opposite gender who are mute and are just happy with the simple things in life.

Sorry Peace, does not give us an indication really as only 3 bays in the ground are available as 'bronze' seats.
