NSW Native seeking TD advice!

Post: # 530672Post JuanTheSydSainter »

Hi,

I'm coming down from Sydney with my housemate (a Swans fan) to catch our season opener. Just looking for advice on where to sit and whether or not to pre-purchase tickets.

Any help is much appreciated.

Here's hoping I can hum our victory song during the flight back home on Sunday morning!

seeming you made the trip, paying a bit extra for access one or medallion club should be in order I think, otherwise general admission on level 3 is always good. (just make sure your in the middle section on level three thou).


I'm sure others have there prefrances but you can't go wrong with the above.

Level 1 and 2 is mainly assigned seating...so if you want to sit there you would need to reservea seat.

Level 3 is mainly sit anywhere...first in first served apart from the first 6 rows in some areas.

You can sit anywhere....so you can roam around from behinds the goals to the wing..and then round again.


If you like standing...you can also stand and watch the game from the back of the seats on Level 1...again pretty much anywhere you can squeeze in.


For a saints Swans match you do not need to buy in adavmce unless you wanta reseved seat....and even then you would prabaly be able to get one on the day for Level 1 or 2.

Oh...and if you are a Saints fan...you can get into the Social Club after the game....In the Victory Room on level 1....behind Bay 16 ish??...

Which if the saints win will be buzzing.

Thanks guys.

Last time I saw the Saints in Melb was in 2004 against the Roos - a few weeks after the winning streak ended. Was a marked contrast to the Crows game on the weekend with both sides slotting close to ten goals before kicking a point.

Can't wait!

.....way too many saints supporters in that area.

Shes going with a Sydney supporting friend....That would be one of the last places I would sit.

Level One is the best viewing, so close to the action, and the atmosphere within the crowed is second to none.

I prefer the half forward flank position, unlike most football followers. The most popular sitting position is to be right on the wing, or behind the goals.

We have had opposition supporters sit with us before, never been a problem.

As for "too many Saints", its our home game against an I/S oppo, I think they'll have that problem most anywhere they want to sit.

L 1 view is crap, IMO.

Sitting too close to the fence is a bad view....but half way up can't be best.

The Ted Whitten Bar in Livewire is always good before the game. Someone is always there prepared to buy drinks for all the others, never me but someone !!
