Chillin' with the strange Quarks -
Maybe the reason why they aren't selling tickets is because that ticketek site is jammed up from god knows what: Object moved
Did the link work for you? I've been trying for a couple of hours and nada!
It came straight off the Swans site: http://www.sydneyswans.com.au/ticket...6/default.aspxCaptain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sectorComment

The marketing of the second AFL team in this somewhat unique market would be boosted by giving the fans of both teams the option of purchasing a ticket to the away 'derby' game when the membership packages are being sold. I would think a lot of people would have been happy to tick a box to purchase the additional seat when renewing or joining memberships.
Also there is a common misconception on this site that all Swans members are fans - it is patently not the case. People have various motivations to attend Swans games...Comment

The colours in the crowd on the night will be the real indicator. Irrespective of how you got your ticket , if you wear red and white its clear who your support.Comment

I am buying my tickets tomorrow as I am waiting for some people to get back with their availability.Comment

Just got confirmation My lot are three.Comment

Maybe Im mistaken, but I thought a couple of years back when the Roos played a 'home' game in Sydney, you could add the extra game to your season ticket??
With respect to Crows/Port, I believe the Crows seats at Footy Park (showing my age here) are fully allocated to their members (save for a couple of thousand pere-allocated away seats) , so they could never be able to offer Port supporters an extra game on their membership. I dont know whether this is also the case for the Lions / Suns??
However, Im willing to bet my house that if you add up all the Swans members and all of the GWS memebrs this still would be less than the capacity of Homebush. So its entirely feasable to add an extra 'away' game to each clubs membership. The only caviet would be that you wouldnt get your normal seat in the 'away' game.
Seems to me to be a huge opportunity lost....AFL Marketing Fail.Comment

If you dont have to fly, and your not busy, then you really shouldnt have an excuse for not going. I have a friends 21st birthday party, but if not, i would be seriously considering flying up. Its an historic night, its the first " real " AFL game of the year,and its the innaugural Harbour/Eastern Derby ( not sure what the official term is yet, as long as its not Skermish, Stoush or anything else wanky like that). Surely though non members would just buy their tickets at the gate or the day or two before, so i think it might be a little early too say its going to be a sea of orange, black and white ( a nauseating thought)Comment

If there are enough GWS supporters at this stage of their life to create anything resembling a sea I will be extremely surprised. I'm sure there will be a small number of noisy GWSers, a larger number of hopefully noisier Swans, and a yet-to-be-determined number of 'others' who will come along for a look. It's these 'others' that the AFL will want to see attend in numbers to attract to future games.Comment

media beat up. I got 19 tickets for a work group and was not asked which team I supported.Comment

I'd be near disgusted with any swans "supporter" or member that had nothing preventing them from being there other than their own choice, and they didn't attend.
It could be years before we open the season again, and most likely several decades until we have another team joining the comp in Sydney. It's a historic moment in Sydney's (the city) and the AFL's history. dawn of a new era and rivalry.
Support the boys, the club and the AFL and turn up loud and in numbers.Comment

I will be going naturally but haven't bothered to buy a ticket as yet because I intend to buy it on the night at the stadium after all it's not as if the game will be sold out.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.

While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
