    The seats behind the goal posts are GA for any other match.
    I spent two GFs behind the goalposts with the letterbox view.
    Never. Again.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

      Bought 2 tickets today and they are in level 6 (nosebleed), but only cost $25 each (concession). I was prepared to pay $89 each, but were told there wasn't any available.

        That is interesting. This morning, after reading a few stories re the seats available at ANZ I went onto the Ticketek site and asked for 2 "Best Available" seats. I was offered two seats in section 404 for $89 each. They are good seats IMO. After readying your post here, I went to the site again just a few minutes ago and did the same thing, and was again offered two seats in section 404 for $89 each. In between those two times I went online you were offered two seats on Level 6.
        Did you login as a previous Ticketek customer Yvonne? Maybe that makes a difference. Did you ask for "best available"? Maybe that has some bearing on what you
        were offered. Maybe because you asked for a concession ticket they offer you a Level 6 seat ie they would rather sell full price tickets not concessions in the higher price categories. Not saying I have any answers, just trying to figure if there is any rythme or reason to how "the service" works.

            [QUOTE=Danzar;707136]Ticketek make it near impossible to speak to someone. There is a way though, which I'll explain.

            Which phone number to use.

            132849 - this is the main one, don't bother trying it as it's near permanently engaged
            1300 795 012 - alternative number, you'll have much better luck getting to the automated system (will explain how you get around that below).


            Last resort - use special needs (Wheelchair/Disability) phone number???
            Last edited by Danzar; 5 September 2016, 08:07 PM. Reason: Took out the last number for special access - not helpful to those who genuinely need by posting it here!

              That is so annoying!! Happens at home and at work! Heaven help us when we play the SCG! It's going to be a mad scramble and people will miss out for sure especially once the Red Zone is handed back to the SCG members

                  47400 tickets sold! Good work NSW and interstate fans. Should crack 50k at least, maybe 55k.

                    Awaiting the latest Barry stats.

                    Best guess is at least 3k swans members are in that 47k

                      Good to hear - promises a more than decent crowd then.
                      "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."

                        FYI these are the numbers stated on AFL 360. Hawthorn vs Geelong was around 60k and the most of any final this weekend (for obvious reasons).

                            Thanks KTigers for the info. I didn't do it online. I went to an outlet for 'personal service'. My daughter was on level 6 for State of Origin and said the view was OK. Just glad both her and I will be there.

                              Anyone sat in 601 before? Not sure if view is restricted or not from there?

                              Better of 10-15 rows back there or 20 odd back in 608?

                              We normally sit in 105-106 or so - haven't sat on the top level for 10yrs plus.

                                Take oxygen and noseplugs.
                                I sat there 20 years ago, and never went back.
                                I normally sit in bay 129.
                                I want to sit in the "good" seats.
                                Damn you AFL and dodgy ticketek. Damn you.
