So should be a much bigger crowd that the Cats game...which from memory was 55,000 at 5pm Friday.

Mustn't have sold any tickets today, because today's Age said they had sold 57,636 by yesterday.

Yep..you are right...my mistake ...

[Bernard Shakey]

Should be over 80,000 on the night though.

Let's hope not all Saints fans have lost hope...an MCG full of Filth supporters would be unbearable.

[saintspremiers]

Depends now on MCC walk ups......and how many Visitors tickets they sold...given fine weather and warm also it should be close to 80,000.

[JeffDunne]

The MCG are predicting 80,000 and they're usually pretty close to the mark.

EDIT: Just checked it and they're estimating 80k not 83K

With a big Crowd, and I suspect a tighter....the place will be buzzing...will be noisier tha the Ctas game.

They were miles off for the Cats game where they estimated 84K and it got a lousy 71K!

I think they generally do the estimate once only at the start of the week, so it's a bit like the weather....forecasts keep changing!!!

Unfortunately I reckon a lot of Saints supporters have forgotten this could be Harv's last game....either that or they are too disrespectful not to fork out the 50 odd bucks to go.

63000 sold as of yesterday.

76k in end.. dissapointing after good pre-sales and a perfect day weather wise ??

I think its quite simple - overpriced finals tickets ... $200 for a typical family to go to a semi ..

Next week even worse .. $80 or something ?? Be suprised if there is more than 60k ..

Same reason Adelaide game was far from a sellout last week - to say nothing about the Sydney crowd ..

agreed

understand the higher prices for say the grand final but for a semi? Not everyone can afford $80 - 100 this week.
