I'm sure you will be able to get General ticket for this match on the day.

I doubt it will be a sell-out, but I certainly hope RWA promotes the match outside of just the existing membership. No excuses for anyone who complains about the viewing at Subi when this will be played at MES with full S14 squads available.

1: Guessing with all the Hoo Ha about Subi and this is a rectangular Stadium
2: It is the only game in Perth till the end of March
3: Ticket prices on the Door are more expensive than from TicketMaster
4: The Reds won't have a Stellar Season however they still have some really good players - will be a good game to see

My advice if you want tickets other than general admission - get em now

I could definitely see it selling out! Hope it does because the atmosphere will be amazing!

The Samoa game last year wasn't well attended, but I think there were still about 5000 people in a stadium that seats 12000. Look at TQ1's post for several reasons why this might well be a sellout. Add to that the fact that general admission doesn't give you a great view of the game at 7:00 in daylight savings. You're either on the end or corner of the pitch, or you've got the sun setting into your face.

I'd pay the money ASAP if I were you.....

The timing is maybe a little unfortunate, but I sat east side last year and it wasn't that bad. I am really pleased that they have extended the "kids under 15 free" policy, although a Thursday night game might put a bit damper on kids attending. I reckon they could make a real promotion of this game with it being:

• at a rectangular ground (given all the discussion about the new stadia..."Come and see rugby as it is meant to be")
• pretty much the first rugby we can see since the RWC
• as noted, the only rugby we'll get other than one game in the first 6 rounds
• the selection match for 2008 starting spots and the SA tour ("The boys are going head-to-head etc.)

And doubtless a few others as well...

[AndyS]

Typically mid-to-high 20k, with the ocassional 30k+.

How about this - buy tickets just in case, and then if you do get comps (lucky thing ) you can sell them to someone less organised than yourself!

[The InnFORCEr]

Thanks for those that have paid.......just waiting on a few.....

[Jess]

Hopefully once we get a few more wins the stadium will fill up more.
Get all those fairweather supporters down to get more bums on seats!
