The AFL wishes to advise the ticket update at 5pm, Monday September 5, for both of this weekend's finals matches is as follows:
Second semi-final, Sydney v Geelong at the SCG - 18,103 tickets remaining for sale.
First semi-final, Adelaide v Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium - 34,521 tickets remaining for sale.
So the Swans have sold roughly 25,000 tickets today just to their members, with public tickets not available until tomorrow.
I wonder how many tickets the Wests Tigers sold for their massive finals match at Telstra Stadium? Does anyone know exactly how many members the Wests Tigers have? From memory when Wests merged with Balmain, Wests had roughly 600 and Balmain about 800. Give or take a few hundred perhaps 2,000 tickets were sold today to Wests Tigers and Nth QLD Cowboys members. Will no doubt be a massive crowd on Friday night for the first of the NRL finals. A sea of empty blue seats I predict.

I just know i'm gonna miss out. I can't get to a phone or a computer until about 10:30 so my mates gonna try and pick some up. They will be snapped up.
It must be part of that contractual agreement with the Tigers how theyre gonna play games during the regular season as well instead of Leichhardt. They's be regretting that move now i reckon.
It all started well for the olympic stadium, with 30,000+ league crowds to begin with when the dogs relocated their home games there, but they'd be rueing the day they signed up so many league matches with crowds like this in 2005:
