    Was that a publicly available tour or did you have private access? I'd love to see those areas but they were 'off limits' as part of the SCG public tour that I did (although we had access to the cricket change rooms which was fantastic, so much history in those rooms!)

    What I heard was "16,999 fans will be disappointed that they wont get tickets to a superior venue, while Barry prefers Anz."

    Swans have 30,000 members so most of us can bring a friend.

    That's pretty disappointing. But at least those attending should be mostly Swans supporters.

    That suggests to me about 40K-45K on Saturday, which is about what I thought might come along.

    If the AFL wanted to fill the ground, they'd price it really competitively.... i.e say a large amount of seats available for $30 for an adult or something like that.

    Wow, you'd have to say that changing from ANZ to SGC might be higher on the priority list of we don't get enough people to have filled the SCG...

    That's the same price as for category 1 adult tickets. Wait until the next final - the price doubles to $170 per ticket.

    Not really public Meg. The Swans coaching group invited a bunch junior coaches (I've been involved in junior footy in Sydney for about 15 years) in for a bit of a forum at the start of this year and they took us through for a tour at that time.

    Despite what I said the fact they've managed to squeeze in the altitude room in there is some feat.
