As of 6pm AEST on Tuesday, more than 35,000 tickets had been purchased for Sunday's grand final. At the current rate of sale, the "house full" sign could be on display well before kick-off on Sunday evening for a match that could break the previous attendance record of 55,436 for an Australian football grand final. That was set in 2007 when Melbourne Victory beat Adelaide United in Docklands.

Members of Sydney FC and Perth Glory were given first preference to tickets for the decider which went on sale for season ticket holders at 11am AEST on Monday. It's understood around 20,000 were bought by club members before they were made available to the general public on Tuesday afternoon.
