Difference between the atmosphere at a Port Power vs Pride of South Australias home games?

[GameofSloanes]

Gotta say, I don't notice the MC, but before the game Im talking to mates, drinking beer, eating food. I'm not there for pre-match entertainment

 

[Steve927]

I’m biased because this is my favourite band and song but I want this cranking with the big screen showing club highlights and stadium flashing lights as we run up the race and then straight into proper fireworks and the (full) club song. Play from 4.02.

Its remarkable isn't it. Could have knocked me down with a feather when I learnt the price of a good seat.

It's why I go a membership

My seat is category 2 - That's $100 per game (or $1,100 for the 11 games) on ticketek.

But I pay $750 or something for all my AFC memberships. But that's my membership, gold upgrade AND Womens. So It'd be closer to $500-550 for my regular membership I believe? That is about $50 a game. Which is actually really good value tbh.

 

[Steve927]

I am going to send a constructive email to Silvers with a number of these points in addition to our away guernsey (ideally being the dark blue colouring and large crow with black outline which looks amazing).

I have found Execs have ALWAYS responded to respectful and constructive feedback over the years and will pass on any feedback received

Did you ever send that email or get a response? I notice some other fans have started to share the same views.

See, you say that, then I remember 2008 (or was it 2009) Elimination Final vs Collingwood, and 2012 Semi Final vs Fremantle.

But I also remember that Collingwood game was a stinking hot day, and both were during the Show. And tickets wernt heavily discounted (I'm still amazed I could get a family cat 3 ticket for $50, whereas I could get just 1 of them as an adult seat for $71 last night)

I was very close to getting that family ticket, then laying down for the night.

Any Crom fan that thinks our home game experience is better than theirs is kidding themselves.

You can hear a pin drop for the first five minutes at our games. This will change when the apricot slice brigade move on.

Crows supporters go to home finals expecting and in most cases getting a win.

What is this list?

Didn‘t we play GWS in 2017 QF and get a big crowd? I remember it mainly because Smith did his knee.

About 52,805 I reckon

I’m on too much of a high to even read it seems lol

Port being stuck on the list for covid times is a bit stiff

He was having a great year to.

Absolutely missed him in the GF

And then McGovern who was a key cog. We’re actually cursed.

I'm calling it the Steven Trigg Curse

Ever since he said Port were embarrassing the league it's been nothing but disaster

I actually think the year he said, the Tippett saga happened (don't fact check that, can't have a curse without dubious claims)

The AFL include oval staff in this too. 1000 staff or there abouts worked this game

Which would be the same for every game

Yeah, it shouldn't even be included in the "crowd"numbers

 

[Dirty Bird]

They stopped doing that years ago.

afltables used to get the official totals (which was always 1000 or so less as you say) but after getting called out on it, the sma fixed that.

How would we know if it’s included or not?

 

[Geoffa32]

Was the lack of sales reported Thursday night a media beat up


Or 10,000 or so people bought tickets Friday/Saturday.


I suspect the sales weren't that bad, and the AFL put out an edict to C7 to boost ticket sales Thursday night to get a couple thousand more. And let people know it is not a sell out.
