There might be a few extra standing room tickets available this year.
Last year those who chose "no standing room", and then missed out were offered a second chance to register for standing room when it was clear that many had not understood the instruction and the risk. I can't see that same second chance being offered this year as the club has been very clear with their instructions this year. Even in the blurb on the website when registering there was a strong recommendation not to take that option as you would be risking missing out all together. They have also spelt out this that there was no benefit in choosing that option - that you were no more likely to get a seat. Simply, if your number comes up and there are no seats left -then you miss out. It seems quite a few have still taken this risk, meaning there will be people who registered who do not end up getting tickets. Not sure how many there seems to be a few around so you can only assume that will translate to quite a few missing out and hence a few more standing room being available for sept saint.
I am SC and ticked the best available option. Would rather stand than miss out. Mum will have trouble standing but the rest of us will be fine. We'll help her. MIssing out not an option and she agrees. We'll cross that bridge if/when we get to it - we still have to win next Saturday

I didn't take the risk this year... last year my wife & I were exceptionally lucky & got premium seats (a few rows behind the Jiggler) after specifying no standing room.saintnick12 wrote:There might be a few extra standing room tickets available this year.

I just don't like the idea of a GF week spent trying to find any sort of ticket when we had the chance to get one in the first place.

It's tempting fate I know but for those that have to travel... have to take the punt a little early. Very nervous week and half coming up now!! Got dream seats last year so won't complain if we only get standing this year, as long as we're there.

Looks like you're having a holiday in Melbourne GF weekend whether the saints are in it or not.St Michele wrote:Same here booked my flights in March and accomodation in July can;t say I am a pessimistBanger724 wrote:Registered

Hope you got good deals booking that early. Flights are always very expensive trying to book at the last minute.
I've had GF off work the every year since 2005. We have to do our holidays more than a year in advance. If the saints are in then its great, and if not, its still a good week to have off with kids. Lots of stuff going on for them. I've been into the parade quite a few times over the years. My son's best mate is a swans supporter so started going in around then. Ironically I didn't go to the parade last year due to the weather and my younger son being sick and not wanting to risk him getting sicker. It was easier to miss the parade when I knew I was going to the game the next day.

Maybe ring the club first thing in the morning. Given that the actual allocation is not until after the prelim, there might be something can be done
Worth a try.
