Anyone know what is going on with tickets for game in Sydney against Swans?
Were supposed to be onsale mid Feb, then got pushed back a week, and now there is no onsale date listed in Ticketek.

i've been trying to find out the last few days, seems like other games are on sale bar this one. Ticket master not selling them either. Must be something to do with ANZ stadium....seating plan not finalised perhaps?

Game transferred to SCG as Swans quit ANZ a year early. Obviously everybody at the admin level knew about it and stopped ticket sales.

So will Goodes now be farewelled in Round 1?

So let's see if that flog of a club will farewell Goodes R1, as they were never going to do it at ANZ (which they shouldn't).

Interesting to see how the flogs up North deal with this one.

Sydney site says general public tickets go on sale 4 March, I'm coming over from Perth for this game so praying I can get tickets easily. Much happier the game is at the SCG, so much easier to get to and stagger back from

To say i am p***d off is an understatement...

9 glorious victories as opposed to 1 win in 15 years at that gridlocked hell-hole.

And yes I have been there for non Collingwood games. I have moved disabled people from the car park to the SCG stadium - and arrived at half time thanks to the traffic. I have left after a game and either got stuck in the tunnel from hell, or stuck next to non existent buses. It takes an eternity to get home. God help those deluded folks who choose to drive there. Bondi Beach has nothing on this place. And, to add insult to injury, your precious free transport with your ticket only extends to Central Station - you have to queue for a bus ticket. hate the place.

And to cap it all off, we have arrogant Swans fans saying we can't win there. That if they play a game at the Olympic Stadium for the finals it doesn't matter, because Collingwood don't play finals...

No wonder we have been big underdogs for Round 1 since markets opened.
We have been $2.45 rock solid with most bookies for months and this announcement didn't move the market at all.

The bookies must have known.

I expected after Friday night to see us even money to beat Sydney.

How could we have been 2.45 underdogs at ANZ with McVeigh out, and Reid Rowan and Heeney under some sort of cloud.

Its still a bizarre price even at the SCG.
