80,000  sure , why not!

This is a big final not a H & A  game. 

Didnt we get 80k to our last swans final and that wasnt even a QF in 1987.

Admittedly alot of dees would of died off over the past 35 years. Not many youngies coming up to replace them.

I was speaking to the membership department a little earlier and I nearly fell off my chair when they told me what the club is expecting on Friday. I had to ask twice just in case I heard wrong, as of this morning according to ticket sales I was told they are expecting 84,000. I think we all hope it gets to that.

The club was hoping for 85-90 against Collingwood and that ended up being 70.

There are too many areas of the ground with large amounts of unsold seats for it to get to 84K imo.

AFL reserve will have 4K unsold seats on Level 4, Northern stand has 1.75K seats not on sale, Ponsford has 864 seats not sold and Southern has 1512 that havent been sold. That already gets us to over 8K empty areas. Then there are the MCC double dippers which will reduce the MCC capacity by 2K at least and standing room all up of about 5K not used. That gives me a max attendance of 83.5K and that assumes that everybody who has a ticket attends and corporate/medallion club allocations are all used up.

Of course there will be more sales which hopefully mean another 500+ tickets are sold.

I reckon it will be 75K which would still be an incredible crowd but will secretly be hoping for 80K+

I dont like the pc terms for someone who has died   ie.  passed away or.... there has been a passing in the family..

Passing where? Where are they going?

When you die you're  dead . Pure and simple.

Word salad wont change anything.

Mal that will teach you, that you need to be extraordinarily connected to get anything from our "masters"   You should have applied through your MFC membership, and not sit with the cheese platter and seat rug set,   get down and dirty sitting with us on M1   just near the Cheers squad.  I know you can remember that far back.    Maybe for the Preliminary seating  you should try it.   At least I will not get a nose bleed unless some swans supporter does not like my comments.   Cheers mate   

sorry to hear your so far up into the sky,  I will wave....

anticipating this game so much,  win this and we are going to be very hard to beat,  Come on Dees

There are 10 of us in our group BUT I also hold a footy club membership and maybe I should use that moving forward.

 

You want 80,000? Then get on board

For anyone interested that didn’t get in the on sale some unused corporate allocation in category 1 and 2 have just gone on sale.

bays N7, N8 and P14.

Can’t see why it won’t be over 80k in 2018 we got 91k against Geelong and from memory there wasn’t many Geelong supporters there, swans have a good following here as well as some will travel from Sydney so 80k plus seems doable 

Hi all, I have a block of 4 tickets in M11 ( a demons bay) Row E so 5 rows back from the fence.  3 adults, 1 Junior. Anyone interested DM me, excess to my family needs now.  Face value or below.  Just hope they go to someone who can use them.

@old deemight be keen on some of the above?

At least you get to sit closer to the action and not watching ants run around . But I only get two seats normally and if we make the GF definitely only the two.  So it’s a bit easier for the computer to put together two seats rather than your 10.

 

ps call you Friday evening and I will wave

I got some good seats however they are amongst the swans. My wife is going with me. If you see two people getting evicted it could be us. One will have a pies scarf and me in the red and blue.

Are you sure they are amongst the swans.  It looked like a dees area when Ticketek allocated the seats/bays

Still shocked at those crowds. 90k two weeks in a row for an elim and semi is a fantastic achievement. 

I wrote to the club about allowing 10 tickets per member which could be for non-members or even non demon fans.  It was supposed to be a 'Member PreSale.

Their response was:  All finals tickets are run by the AFL, all decisions regarding 10 additional tickets per barcode is also a decision made entirely by them. We urge you to contact them if you wish to take this complaint further.  I might do just that!

imv during the 'Members Presale' it should be one ticket per barcode.  Clearly the AFL don't care that non members and non dees fans can get tickets and even premium tickets.  Pretty ordinary seeing that we have kept paying memberships during covid without any football.

I've also concluded that selecting 'The Premium Member' option for barcodes doesn't allocate premium seats.  Not sure why they even have it.  Maybe it is to make people feel good ala saying we are in a queue for tickets but it turns out to be random.  It really is first in best dressed!  I wouldn't mind that if there wasn't the 10 ticket per member sale thing going on.

I'd love it to be over 80k.

But Covid, the ticketing system, weather and the fact that in 2018 we were playing finals for the first time in over a decade are all reasons why the crowd will most likely be less than expected.

It's a disgrace and I hope enough of us complain about it over this finals series so that next year it all reverts back.

I thought you had M11 or something like that undercover?

What bay are your tickets now?

I have one concession cat 2 ticket in m56 row H that i need to get rid of. 64+7 booking fee was cost price but happy to accept $50 for it for anyone interested

weather looking good now.....of course it's melbourne so no guarantees

game time: cool about 10c, negligible wind, dry (<10% chance of rain)

showers in morning <1mm 50%

no weather excuse for big crowd

Very confident LH, I am out today and cannot check the tickets.
