I wonder what sort of crowd they'll get up there?50,000 tops,i would guess.I think the high ticket prices will scare off a lot of people up there.Let's hope there's a big Magpie contingent to give the boys plenty of support.

If Dids doesn't play I'd bring in Marty.

Dids strength is great kicking skills, not physical tackling pressure. Marty to me is more like for like.

Sinclair brings great chasing pressure but think his kicking might not be up for the pressure of a prelim.

But I'm not on the match committee.

expecting Rain and traffic to anz will be shocking - locals dont like that.
Though the swans have been on tv all week, plenty of adds trying to get people to "out number" us.

judging by swans crowd numbers this year, I reckon they're bored with the swans this year - despite being top 4 and playing pretty good footy.

My guess is 52-54K , high 50s if they're lucky. Won't be full, that's for sure.

Sinclair must come in if Dids is out. The more run and speed we have the better.

What are they charging for tickets?

doriswilgus · Post by **doriswilgus** » Wed Sep 19, 2012 9:45 pm

I don't know^.But i would assume they would be pretty high,judging by what they've charged for the other finals' tickets.

P.S. I just saw on another site that the ticket prices range from $70 to $160 for adults,so they are pretty expensive.

A got 3 tickets in the pocket for $70 each, so that wasn't too bad price wise.

If they only get 55 G I will be very dissapointed; they really would be a poor crowd. I would of thought we would get about 35-40 Pies supporters at least

sold 54,000 tickets so far to wednesday night so your estimate might be a bit off

sold more then the game at the G!
