THE FINAL! Wednesday 30 November 7:30pm

[Cityscape]

Davutovic just confirmed they're expecting 18-20k on his blog so fair to say PAX is spot on for this one.

PAX talk is doing my head in.

Lol how many times have we had people saying we will get 15k to a game and then only have 7k rock up. I will believe it when i see it, all this speculation has meant nothing in the past, and i wouldnt be surprised if it meant nothing for tomorrow night.

To a league game. With members who don't turn up. This is a match where everyone buys a ticket. PAX data is valid.

You'd expect some people to cancel last minute, but it would occur much more often for normal A League games as most are already members who have paid there money as apposed to people who have gone out of there way to pay for this particular game.

It's so frustrating. In this PAX includes sponsor tickets, Tickets that are yet to be flogged off and hand outs.

It's the number meaning "persons" or tickets bought shown on tickets

[fastfly100]

Hoping both teams play good football, also that they go out there and have some fun!

The PAX number is also affected by tickets that are pre-reserved prior to sale: so sponsors, tickets given to the clubs to dish out, tickets being used for competitions, ones the FFA are holding onto, etc. During the regular season, that also includes all the member tickets, hence why it isn't usually an accurate guide to what the attendance will be. For a fully ticketed event, most of the unused tickets are likely to be unused child tickets from families and tickets given to sponsors

Front of Bay 77 now on sale.

First time in my whole life of watching football that "my club" has the chance to win a trophy. So Come on City!

[Harrison]

I remember being told that the PAX number is more of an identifier of sorts, and that the number increases for every ticket sold. But it doesn't necessarily start at 0 and there are tickets that are issued then cancelled, which affects the PAX number. 

[Tony999]

3 pages of PAX. Keep up the PAX talk!

[Dylan]

In plus 18k+ of my friends 

[bumpyknuckles]

PAX 386 on my ticket!

[Jovan]

Enough with the PAX already.

Soon will replace Samaras signing on Thursday 10am as the most overused nonsense. 

[Baka1]

[HEARTinator]

A POX on all our tickets.

Aside from that, 2:1 win and we will lift the trophy to the joyous strains of 'appy together.

Red. There was quite a lot of red showing in the crowd for the Welly match.

I'm leaning towards red.  I gave the white shirt an outing for the Nix (squad rotation) but got to go red for this one.  Might even opt for the old Heart shirt since this is a historic night.

[neio]

What PAX number does Samaras have

There's only single tickets left in the Yarra End because, you know, it's almost sold out.

Know it's hard to believe but there's actually going to be a large crowd at this game.

Get in.  Come on you reds. 

[MattN]

I understand we will play the entire match down the left wing as a tribute to Fidel Castro.

Pax update?

I know ppl talking about walking up to the stadium and getting tickets for the game. 20,000 would be a fantastic effort.

FFA Cup Final attendance record to be broken

By

Chris Hearn

 

The FFA Cup attendance record is set to be smashed, with ticket sales skyrocketing in the last fortnight for Wednesday night’s clash at AAMI Park.

According to a source, 17,582 tickets were sold as of 9am this morning (November 29), which suggests the crowd figure could eclipse the 20,000 barrier. On November 17, Outside90 reported that the number of tickets sold through Ticketek stood at 12,817 at that point in time.

With Sydney FC and Melbourne City the form sides in A-League, the surge in ticket sales come as little surprise.

Sydney FC remain top despite the 0-0 draw against Adelaide United on Saturday night, with Melbourne City closing in after a 2-1 victory over Wellington Phoenix on Sunday.

The current attendance record stands at 16,124, as Adelaide United claimed the inaugural FFA Cup after defeating Perth Glory 1-0 at Coopers Stadium in 2014.

In Australia, "final" or "grand final" almost guarantees a big crowd.

MCG carpark looks to be closed for the match ... Frickn annoying really, possibly 20k crowd, no where convenient to park without paying a fortune or circling the precinct looking for that lucky parking spot.

Anyone pissed at this, hit @MCG and the club up on Twitter and hassle them to open up the parking!

Is there anywhere near Aami Park that sell Halal Snack Pax?

Would not be surprised at all if Timmy scored the winner. All set up for him. Can also see us dropping off massively for the rest of the season if we do win.

Hey we are in a post-truth time now. I can make any shit up I want

[bumpyknuckles]

I have a good feeling about tonight, I think we will win 3-1, but it will be tense until the very end, and feel like we just scraped it in after Sydney hits the post 8 times, have a couple disallowed goals, and we snatch 2 dubious penalties.

[haz]

The nerves starting to hit. If it goes to penalties I'll need a defibrillator

[bt50]

I'm all kinds of nervous and excited atm.

[pattyd89]

Any plans for the Chapecoense tragedy?

[GreenSeater]

IT'S CUP FINAL DAY AND WE'RE PLAYING FIRE UP FARKEN!!! Our first shot at a title, our first chance for some silverwear. Am I confident? No, I'm nervous as hell. But I tell you what, the thought of watching Bruno Fornaroli hold up the FFA Cup has me excited beyond words. COME ON CITY!
