    1st time at SCG where's the best spot

    Hi,

    I am going to take my son to the St Kilda game next week and never been to the SCG. I am looking at getting gold tickets.

    Where is the best place to try and get tickets for?

    Thanks for any help.

    Brian, welcme to the forums. Do you like up high, or down low, on the fence or back half a dozen rows?

    I'm sure somebody here will help, we're a friendly bunch (most of the time )

    Remember, most of us are members and have sat in the same seats for many years, so have no real perspective on other areas or where the public can actually buy tickets to sit.

    I'd suggest the new Trumper Stand. Top deck if you like it high and concourse if you like it low. Never sat there so not talking from experience, but it looks OK. The sun would be an issue for me as a permanent spot, but for a one off night game, it looks the goods.

    I'd suggest selecting a game which we have a snowball's chance in hell of winning

    Have fun

    The bar in the Noble stand is a great place to watch the game from.
    Especially one that we're going to lose.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    Best spot for viewing i have found is in the Noble up the top close to the members stand. You get a great few of whats going on with the flight of the ball etc as opposed to sitting side on, but that is the members section so maybe at the other end in the top of the Brewongle would be similar
    The edge is not the limit, It's just the starting point...

    Brewongle Concourse. A mate and I sat in all areas many many years ago searching for the ideal location and decided on bay 29. Personal opinion does count but you can't beat being close to the action and not looking into the sun (although this is a night game) plus being near the players run. You can buy tickets most places as membership levels have dropped.

    I reckon the Saints game is still a good one. Go with low expectations and hope for an upset, how good would that win be? remember we knocked them off their winning streak a few years back we can dot it again.

    Were probably all bias, but my favourite spot for day games is in the upper Brewongle, and night games in the O'Riley Stand.

    I can't stand the sun on the Moore Park Road side of the ground on day games, so I get my membership in the Brewongle.

    Brian save your cash & get more pies or chips (Kids highlights are often food)

    Get a basic admission & wander around to the O'Reilly wing (Eastern side) on the lower concourse.

    The best place to watch FOOTY is on the wing.
    (Noble stand & Trumper are at the ends, no good for seeing the whole game)

    Great seats on the wing, seats always available unless we can get 40,000 there

    Thanks everyone for the great advice. Followed PinkEmu and sat in Bay 29 row S Brewongle Concourse. Alsolutely fantastic. PinkEmu was nearly spot on with all your advice except for "1 POINT" . Worked out OK seeing that my son is a St Kida supporter and I follow the Swans.

    Once again THANKS.
