Tickets...

what would be the chances of rocking up on game day and getting 10 tickets? would it be smarter to book online ?

The chance of getting a block of seats in a good position would be improbable ,but it depends what you want to spend & where you wish to sit

Seating plan

This is a sample done for 10 tickets now online : Sun 2:44pm
Cat 1 : Lvl 1 Aisle 42 Row P Seats 32 to 41

Cat 2 : Lvl 1 Aisle 19  Row J  Seats 48 to 57

Cat 3 : Lvl 1 Aisle 4 Row L Seats 51 to 60

What are the chances of rocking up on the day and getting a free ticket?

Much better chance if it was in Sydney.

I heard on a sydney radio station that on the first day when the tickets were open to storm members that nearly 6000 tickets were sold and that was just the first day of sales

As I recall 5,000 were sold to the previous final on storm members day.

All of Level 3 will be General Admission for the game. That means it will be first in-best dressed. The fans that paid $35 or $45 to sit there  for the Manly game got ripped-off. Only levels 1 and 2 are resreved seating.

I reckon we will get over 33,000 for the game....  it will be a storm record

[Hailstorm]

As of yesterday/today apparently 15,000 tickets have been sold. I read it somewhere earlier.

[CooperCronk]

Heard on SEN Storm Hr.tonight  that just under 20,000 tickets have been sold.

Keep it coming

A number of the interstate AFL GF packages are adding the Storm game to their packages, have a few coming from WA for that where stoked when told by their tour company that it had been added.

Hoping we get mid 30's

Doesn’t even look like we will break the 25,000 barrier..  That’s really disappointing

“THE NRL faces the prospect of a half-empty Etihad Stadium with slow ticket sales for Saturday night's game.
Only 18,000 tickets have been sold.Last night, NRL chief operating officer Graham Annesley said the league would have preferred to have played the game tomorrow night."We wanted the Friday night on AFL Grand Final eve but Etihad Stadium was already booked for the VFL grand final," he said.”

The message is NOT getting to the average punter 
A customer asked me today how I thought Storm would go on FRIDAY night

How's advance ticket sales comparing to our last home prelim in 2007?

[Taliesin]

Not sure we can compare 2007 / 2009 - Has there ever been a direct face off against the AFL Grand Final,(Not to mention a perversely hostile FTA broadcaster  )

[Surandy]

Just did a bit of searching on this forum and on the Tuesday before the 2007 prelim we were sitting at:

'More than 20,000 tickets have already been snapped up for the first NRL game at the AFL venue since 2001."

That compares to Tuesday before the 2009 prelim:

Heard on SEN Storm Hr.tonight  that just under 20,000 tickets have been sold.

It's hard to gauge what sort of a walk up crowd we'll get. So could be as low as 30k but it's possible it could be much, much more.

Edit: By the Thursday before the 2007 prelim 24k tickets had been sold and the Storm were expecting another 2k of pre-sales with a walkup of 6k to 7k.
