Just a general question for semi finals... Say its Tigers/Roosters, Panthers/Manly etc for semi finals or any game, do BOTH teams season ticket holders get to buy tickets before the general public or just the home teams?

I believe the home team gets first dibs, then the away, then the general public.

Good on St George.

Let's say the Raiders make the finals and finish in 8th, how quickly is Kogarah likely to sell out? I'm desperate to get to it, but I've never had to deal with buying tickets to a sold-out Kogarah before.

Paully pretty quick. Last year vs Eels was snatched up quick smart..

Paullyboy just find a local Red V member and make friends with them. There are a gazillion of us it seems.

Being a Canberra local I'm probably going to be on the hook to get tickets for my son, his best mate and his dad (who happens to be their footy coach) all of whom are Raiders fans. Plus I'll provide transport up to Sydney and parking at the Leagues Club.

So the Dragons had better win if we do face the Raiders or I'm going to have a loooong trip back down the Hume.

Try your luck with the supporters bay. I cant imagine Canberra fans rushing for those tickets anywhere near as quick as Parra fans last year so you may have a good chance there.

Members of BOTH clubs involved can buy tickets in the ticketed membership window as far as I'm aware.

That game didn't sell out. The papers hype over it needing to be moved scared away alot of fans IMO.

I know in the past up here with finals, it was first in best dressed for both clubs season ticket holders. I lost my seats to some Warriors fans in '07......

Ok cheers. Just hypothetically wondering because the Dragons do have alot of members but so do Souths so if they were to play each other (IMO won't happen, I see Manly being beaten by Dogs but dont see Souths winning) that would mean both sets of season ticket holders get to buy tickets early so potentially the crowd could be split 50/50? :?

 

[SET2JT]

I remember NRL.com members also had a chance to get tickets before they went out to the general public last year.

You sure? I thought it sold out, but it was a reduced amount (hence the smaller crowd) of tickets avail because the police were concerned after the first couple of home games last year (sharks & dogs?); they were worried about access on to the hill if they were needed.

You could buy tickets at the gate apparently

 

[Timbo]

Glad I'm a member...

I hope you're right about both clubs members being able to buy. I'll be desperate to get to Kogarah for this if we're there!

 

[Bumble]

As much as I'd rather play them at the SFS (IF we get in, which we mighn't) this is the right decision..

 

[Mong]

Is Rothfield going to cry about it this year?

 

[Patorick]

Is Rothfield going to cry about it this year?

Yes.

Didnt think he would be able to help himself.

Crap decision but then again I don't blame StGeorge for making it because they have beein given the choice.

NRL need to change week 1 of the finals. All clubs without a capacity of say 25k, should need to nominate a second ground. Final decision is left in the hands of the NRL.
