    Hi and help!!!

    Hi everyone, I just signed up and this is my first post here. I want to take my girls to their first Grand Final (here's hoping it's a Roosters GF).

    Just wondering if anyone else is going, if so, is there a particular bay the Roosters supporters will be at?

    Thanks in advance.

    If we make the grand final, there is a dedicated supporters area that is released on the monday before the grand final.

    aside from that, it is pot luck who you sit next to if you buy them now.

      I think they hold back about 1,500 tickets for each of the competing teams. So if you are a season ticket holder and get up early the Monday before the GF, you would be able to get a ticket in a designated Roosters bay should we make it.

      I don't want to get ahead of myself but the reality is, the Roosters are now a huge chance of making it. St George are perennial chokers, Penrith are in terrible form, we have no trouble with Western Suburbs, and we are capable of overcoming adversity. If the Roosters hit their straps in September, maybe we could get there.

        Thanks, will hold off and see if we make it. I will take my girls regardless but would prefer to sit with Roosters fans.

          There are some pretty reasonable prices if you want to take the gamble and buy in advance.

          In previous years, I remember the supporters of sides in contention buy in advance and then if their club doesn't make it they unload them. So tickets become available in GF week, and most of the crowd is supporters of the competing clubs.

          That obviously doesn't guarantee sitting next to Easts supporters.

            Thanks for the tip. I bought tickets on line in 2002 and got burnt badly, ended up the very last row in the nose bleed section. And I mean the very last row, I had the concrete wall behind me. It was terrible and too far away. I would rather not go if I had those seats again.

              Hmmm the designated supporters areas could be in these terrible seats upstairs, which would be crap.

              Does anyone know where those team-specific (the clubs playing in the GF) supporters bays are?

                no the Designated supporters bay is always in the inner bowl.

                in 2002, the Roosters bays were on the north east curve and it was clear separation between Roosters at one end, and warriors at the other.

                in 2003, there was some separation, but tickets were sold to panthers fans in the roosters area.

                in 2004, ticketek out right refused to allow large groups of fans to sit together. they had roosters bays and dogs bays, but you could not request where you wanted to sit, it was auto allocation, some rooster fans got tickets in the dogs area and could not do anything about it. that was a massive screw up by ticketek.

                not sure what has happened in years since, but there needs to be a clear and obvious separation of he supporters groups, it is the only way to generate the best atmosphere at the game.

                  Yeah I remember in 2002 and 2003 being with other Roosters supporters but 2004 seemed to be fairly mixed.

                  How many seats are held back? Enough to cater for all our members?

                    i think it is about 1500 - 2000 seats set aside.

                    so you get a large group together which is great if ticketek actually run the process properly !

                      Fingers crossed, and fingers crossed we can all get our hands on some tickets in GF week should the Roosters make it!

                        This was posted on the club website this morning...

                        So 14,000 tickets are held back for supporters of the competing teams, and members have all day the Monday before the GF to purchase their tickets before they go on general sale.

                            When we made the GF in 02, 03, 04 I camped outside the then-Elizabeth Street Ticketek in the wee hours of the morning waiting for the doors to open.

                            I miss those days!
