Three things for everyone to note:
1) ticketek posted seat details for many tigs members today, BUT later this info disappeared for many of us. If it happens, don't freak as you're not alone (many people on BF and twitter are in the same boat)
2) not sure the law in NSW, but in Victoria its illegal to resell a GF ticket for more than 10% above face value. There is a massive illegal market for tickets (once the corporate seats disappear, its not unusual for seats to be priced in the thousands). Many people get away with it, but the AFL does monitor ebay, gumtree, and the other sales sites, and has revoked tickets people were scalping (usually because they were stupid enough to quote the seat details). Obviously demand will be softer given GWS is still building its supporter base (and naturally still has a small expat community in Melbourne), but demand from tigs fans and neutrals is still expected to be high.
3) friday is a public holiday in melbourne, and its the day for the parade. if you're coming down, you may want to come down early to be there for that
