Preview - Second semi final - Sydney v North Melbourne

[stevoswan]

I would be more inclined to drop mcglynn rather than BJ to be honest.

I would agree if the reserves were still in the finals and Benny could get some more match fitness, but you'd think he'd be better for last weekends run anyway, so I'd leave him in, because even at his 'near best', he's probably more value than BJ in the finals cauldron. While it could be argued BJ would probably be better for the run as well, he did look thoroughly overwhelmed at times against Freo.

Keiran Jack and Smith back this week (Parker on MVP Awards) with Parker the week after.

I'd be dropping BJ for Keiran....

Keiran back already?? Surely not

[Peace]

Well, that's playing the man and not the ball, isn't it?
If the swans promise to turn up and play, I'll go.
Does that make you feel less superior?

I doubt 80,000 people bought a ticket to this game this morning.

Yep, well luckily I waited. Was going to buy tickets today or tomorrow then noticed Telstra is offering half price cat2 ($72) tickets. Not sure if this code will work on its own as I went through the telstra thanks site, worth a go if you are still thinking about going - AFLFINALS15

$36 for a finals game is the right price!

They are at the North end bay 19 or 20 only.

I got the family ticket.
$37.50 a seat.
Bargain.

Especially if you don't like the seat you can always move at quarter time as there will be plenty available.

I'm going to a concert at the Enmore - nick Kershaw & Paul young and a few others bought the tickets back in June - so I will be looking at the app to get the scores!!!

Wouldn't It Be Good if the Swans won

[longmile]

Not many seats available online, has it almost sold out or is this ANZ being sneaky?

[jono2707]

I went online a while ago and there was absolutely nothing available. I think it's more about Ticketek being rubbish than anything...
No doubt when I try again thousands of tickets will magically appear...

[Livid_Swan]

Dont we normally hear ticket sales updates for final games throughout the week ? Its been very quiet this time around.

[southsideswan]

I picked up 2 tickets they were giving away to day. Not sure how many they were handing out.

I was at Cronulla but they were traveling all over Sydney

There is NO WAY they've sold 80,000 seats.
The "whited out" areas (i.e. game-on in front of the interchange - my usual seats) are not for sale.
They are reserved for the stadium members (like Barry).
Notice how they are filling up the spaces around the goals first?
When I checked yesterday, there was less than a quarter of one section (allocated) in the middle of the ground on the lower level that was available for sale... albeit game-off side... the opposite side of the commentary, I think it may be the eastern side of the stadium.
This is how they sell it off every year.

[Zlatorog]

It will depend where the TV cameras are located, so that they can capture most of the crowd behind the play, so it doesn't look so empty on TV.
