There's nothing concrete in yours either inky... but I suppose while you've still got the opportunity to be arrogant in return, you will.

Ink...you come in here, put words in my mouth and then think that your point is concrete. All you have to say is that i am arrogant and cocky and all you have to offer is that i implied that it was only bulldogs supporters buying tickets, when in fact i never said anything like that. Im not a season ticket holder, but i went in to ticketek to check out the queue and it was 99% bulldogs fans. But i guess im not allowed to say that we are well supported because there was about 1% of other fans who bought tickets (ok i might have exaggerated - i'll just say that now so you don't pick it apart later on). The point is Ink that bulldogs supporters currently own the most GF tickets, and i have every right to say that without being labelled arrogant and cocky. I NEVER...i'll say it again...N.E.V.E.R said that other clubs fans didn't buy tickets, as you think i was trying to say.

I didnt put words in you mouth....youre the one that said bulldogs fans and amazing ticket sales

You think bulldogs own most tix...you saw a lot where you were, but were you at every other outlet in the country and NZ?
Do you know of every phone transaction today?

No...didnt think so....see, youre assuming. Guessing. Estimating. Wanking

You have every right to say whatever you like, but when its bollocks and someone checks you on it....well what do you expect, someone will have a go at ya and then you get all indignant and get your back up...quite funny really

You stretch a long bow matty...one day it'll snap and smack you right in the face.

im not the only one who seen alot of bulldogs supporters. how is it bollocks. The facts are there mate. This year sold more grand final tickets in 4 hours than the entire first day of ticket sales last year. What i seen was a clear majority of bulldogs fans buying tickets, which is what i frikken said in the first place. If i didn't see the amount of blue and white that i did then i would not have said anything. and yet again, i know plenty of other people who were there buying tickets and all they said was that there was a clear majority of bulldogs fans there. You don't like to give us credit for once do you?If (i have to bold the if so you dont call me cocky again lol) we make the grand final, i just can't wait for the sea of blue and white. Ill make sure that i upload plenty of pictures for you.

And as for you saying that your not putting words in my mouth, what are you on? You clearly said that i implied "dogs and only dogs fans" are buying tickets, which is definately not what i was thinking. If i was then i would have come straight out and said it.

Yawn. What a boring argument.

Personally speaking, I go whenever I can. I don't give a flying f**k whether the Raiders are playing or not, it's just great to be at the grand final, if the Raiders are there it's a bonus. I'll be coming up from Canberra, as I know many people will be.

1) Don't ever compare the Bulldogs to the finals chokers that are the Eels and Dragons. Most Dragon fans I know have never seen their team win the premiership. And as for the Eels...they're the worst of the lot.

2) You can hardly blame Bulldogs fans of being arrogant for buying Grand Final tickets yesterday. It's the NRL's fault for selling them so god damn early. If your team is going well this year, and you plan on going to the GF, then what else are you supposed to do? I'm sure all 17 Melbourne fans bought tickets as well.

I would find it hard to believe (almost impossible, actually) that Bulldogs fans bought the majority of GF tickets yesterday. Remember that majority means over 50%. But I also think that we would of bought the most tickets compared to the fans of other clubs. Considering we have a big supporter base and are travelling very well at the moment, that's the logical guess.

And, yes, it's just a guess, so it's rather pointless to argue about.

Just managed to get tickets now. Bay 611 is the best of what's left for Category 1, Cat 2 & 3 are sold with only Cat 4 left.

Boy am I glad I'm a season ticket holder.

Oh and for those who set store by such things as PAX numbers, my highest is 28010

Just a question - I'm a season ticket holder and have access to another, but have more than four people wanting to go so am hanging out for the general release.

What has been released so far is only a sample of the seats, is it not? Or was it a free-for-all, and all these areas are well and truly sold out? Because if the latter is the case, I am screwed.

considering the PAX is only 28,000 odd i would say that its an allocation. Not 100% sure though

80,000 minus 28k sold, minus XXX for Stadde De Oz members minus XXX for Corporates, minus what 5-10k GF week holdback?... would most likely equal not many left.

80,000 yeah. Your not seriously saying there is about 40 or 50k corporates. Its 14k that they are holding back from what i have heard. So thats roughly 42k tickets allocated already. Doubt there would be that many corporates, plus they have already reserved a section for them. Considering last year there was about 70k tigers supporters there i'd say the public get the clear majority of tickets.

I bloody hope so - am keen to go this year and could have grabbed tickets earlier. Stupid friends and their non-season-ticket-holding. :lol:

Yes the bottom level of the stadium was mostly black and gold ... But I ask you, how many corporates from Sydney would barrack for a Townsville team ahead of a Sydney side?


You're also completely ignoring stadium Australia club members (SEPERATE to Corporate). There would be what 10-15k of those?


& I really think you are underestimating how many corporate seats get sold.

either way there will be plenty of tickets left for sale tomorrow. I just wouldnt think by looking at the seating map, that 28k would include the entire cat 1,2 and 3 sections. :lol: at that game last year it was more than 90% tigers. The corporates were even going for tigers
