    The last prelim pre Covid was a Sat twilight. Theory being gives slightly more time to prepare for the granny.

      Clarification- I bought a Premiership Club (Priority 1) add-on but my mates didn't (Priority 2). Of course I want to sit next to them, but want to understand the risk of missing out if I enter the GF ballot with them (ie letting my Priority 1 slide to 2)

        So it’s almost certainly going to be Saturday night for our game
        Particularly as the semi final which will decide our prelim opponent is this Saturday night.

        Unlikely to miss (although not impossible), but will almost certainly mean lower quality seats.

          There is more detailed information on the GF ticketing process at this link.

          For the 2022 Grand Final, Sydney Swans in conjunction with the AFL, endeavour to provide a fair system for members wishing to purchase tickets through the use of a ballot ticketing system.

              I was hoping for a slightly later start, but only because we are meant to be going to a concert at the Opera House at 2pm - that I don't think finishes until about 4.30. Rejuggling to come, but no way we are missing the prelim final haha

                    Build a shrine made of a golden $ ticket and pray to the god 'pleasedontletthosestupidticketingpeoplestuffitupa gain' 50 times every night for a week beforehand

                    As long as you are ready to go with Membership details etc and can logon early, you'll be fine. I've found in the past sometimes the mobile site is more reliable then the normal website version of the website, as invariably you'll likely get stuck in the queue for a while.

                    Are there any ticketek outlets left anymore, bar at major venues?

                      I received a callback within an hour of placing myself in the queue.

                            Can we make the GF before we start worrying about seating allocation.

                              does anyone have an idea as to how many tickets members will be able to buy for the prelim? will it be one per membership or that plus the ability to bring friends?

                                I haven't seen anything to confirm yet. But I would think it is likely to be one per membership plus maybe 1 guest at most? May depend who we play as well (if it is Freo they might be more generous than if it is the Colliwobbles).
