Where is 32k a sell out

A swans sell out is some 43, 45k
The Gabba, MCG has these issues also with the cricket club, corporates season ticket holders,
It’s a world that you leave fans clearly don’t understand.

Just because some ones business family or individual has a ticket doesn’t mean they will turn up every game of a h&a season

The ashes is a 4 year event, not a weekly winter occurrence

I would chirp in and say this. A sell out is different from ground capacity - just means no more tickets available. I think membership may be an issue here with people possibly not turning up - although I would think that was minimal - but I also wonder if seating arrangements are different - I know it is different with with the Gabba for instance. But 10000 roughly is a fair bit to account for I agree.

Cricket also losses seating due to Sight screens at each end.

makes the 49k look even better.

aye Fred, do you know why for Cricket it holds more than AFL .. (im struggling to understand why?)
as Cricket generally loses 2k to 3k just in Site Screens alone

to answer your question regard's to SCG
it seems to be>> SCG Cricket games always get much higher than AFL games.
even when the Swans or the AFL announce a sell out.

Not sure really - I think it had something to do with sponsor areas - maybe i should double check :)
