Looks like a bunch of stadium members seats became freed up. There's scattered seats in just about every eastern aisle available to buy

What’s going on? Is it just my phone glitching or is there all of a sudden heaps of tickets available in areas that were supposedly sold out? Seeing tickets available in yellow fever and stuff?

We get Daniel Elder for this match, thankfully avoiding Faghani who gets CCMvSYD.

We have had Elder 3 times this season, 1-1 vs Victory, 0-0 @ Perth and 1-0 vs Victory.

Totally happy with Daniel Elder, Phoenix 'victory' specialist ref.
Faghani would relish the occasion and try to impose his massive ego on the proceedings.

On TV3 this am they tried to do some numbers and they got it all wrong. The cheapest seat is not $37 - Try $45. That special deal thing is not $139, its was selling for $180 and there is no free alcohol. You still have to pay for that.

I'm hearing the Violinist is coming over to play?? WTF? We are meant to be having a "Home" semi final, not making it comfortable for the Victory. Shoot yourselves in the foot why don't you. If you want an atmosphere this Saturday, tell the DJ to take the day off and let the crowd make the noise, not the DJ and certainly not a Melbourne violinist. We're here to win this thing. Not a time to play nice.

It looks like some bronze tickets are available at the ends at $37. Must be with the release of held tickets as they had announced earlier these were sold out.

She apparently learnt to play the 'Seven Nation Army' song only in the week before her first performance of it at the Melbourne derby.

If she is truly coming over (have my doubts) maybe she's also been asked to learn & play a Nix song, as well. She said in a recent interview, that since her new found fame a range of AFL & A League clubs had reached out to her.

Will they post the most popular chants in the Post for newbies to learn before the game?  I feel like they did that in 2009/2010 knock out games.

Edit, to add that the Aleagues must be happy with the ticket sales for this game.  How many have they sold for CCM v Sydney at Gosford? 
 I had a quick look as aus ticketek last night and there seemed to be less than 1000 spare.

I did see people having a shark about it on Facebook but also no source.  Not that I care, will be drowned out by the fever zone anyway.  Patrick's drumming is greater than any other instruments.

Despite efforts to free up more seats to the regional stadium, Wellington Phoenix tickets are selling so fast they’ll soon be all gone.

Wellington Phoenix Football Club general manager David Dome said about 2pm on Wednesday that they had fewer than 2500 tickets remaining to the A-League semifinal against Melbourne Victory on Saturday.

He posted on X.com, formerly Twitter, that they were selling around 500 tickets an hour, so at this rate they could all be gone by Thursday.

“We're adding in more seats as quickly as we can as they are freed up. About 1k additional was added in this morning but they are gone already. Fewer than 2,5k available now.”

Dome said they were trying to “claw back” a few more seats but there were only around 1000 more that could be freed up

This is a fantastic thing.  Also means that wherever the final is it's gonna be pumping.

Let's go Nix and Let's go Sydney.

Really hope someone does get some fighter jets and fly them over the Melbourne Hotel at 2am

Aren't they the team that set their hotel's fire alarms off with a piece of burnt toast? No need for jets when they'll sabotage themselves anyway.

It’s pretty much sold out folks, just a smattering of single seats. Away bays are less than half sold.  Melbourne will be notable by their absence. 
Hope the hospo tickets sell out now - apparently the club gets revenue from them (source - domestar himself on Twitter). Would have considered buying there if I knew (do now for the final, should it come to that).

Now attendance is scanned tickets - any idea about resales? I know of a couple going but not sure how to resell.

Absolute muppet. The standard isn’t even that bad. Why compare to the premier league? 
Gotta make the most of what we’ve got so just get involved and you’ll enjoy it. Otherwise don’t make comments about it being ‘crap’

Do you really enjoy getting up at 3am to watch “your team”?!

I don't really get people from NZ and AUS who only watch the prem. like most the games are between 3am-6am, passed the point of "oh yeah I'll stay up late for that", with only the occasional game being reasonable for us.

Like I get that qualitywise they're in a different league but we aren't exactly attrocious to watch. Just doesn't make sense to me.

That is absolutely epic. BUT ...

It's not enough to have lots of people there. We need a large, noisy, parochial crowd. We need people cheering the nix so loudly that their ears hurt. We need people letting the ref know when a 50/50 goes against us. We need the players to feel the energy and use it to get that extra 1% of performance.

The Melbourne crowd numbers were disappointing, but it's worth remembering that they have a much larger proportion that are active support than us, and they made themselves heard. We had a few hundred away fans and by goodness we shouted ourselves hoarse (my voice is still a bit squeaky), and their few hundred will do the same. We need our 30k to drown them out, and to give the team that lift that will get them over the line
