Roast Essendon vs StKilda Ticketing Farce

[stkildathunda]

So... Just a heads up to all 16, whoops 15 game StKilda Members, if you are planning on attending the Essendon vs StKilda clash in few weeks it is going to cost you $30 to book your seat... Yes you read correctly, $30 to just book a seat for the game!!

So instead of the usual $10-$15 upgrade, they've gone and doubled this... It is cheaper to just go and buy a reserved seat for $25 without your membership!

15 game St Kilda Members
Adult/Conc30.00
Juniors: $12.00

11 Game St Kilda Members / non-members
Adult: $52.00
Concession: $43.00
Junior (6-14): $15.00
Junior (U-6): $12.00

Why?

Why?

Absolutely no idea why its all sudden so much.

So we don't know if this is an AFL directive and problem, or that from the Saints? But hey don't let this opportunity go, for a chance to bring out the old whinging barrow.

Cry me a river. Did i blame the Saints? No. So stop your whinging. Its bloody ridiculous that we have to fork out so much to reserve a seat after already forking out money for a ticket.

Or more drugs

How can they possibly justify charging such an upgrade price? No wonder crowds are down so far this year...

That criminal football stadium

Hate to state the obvious but had anyone contacted the club to ask why it has doubled and why it's more expensive than buying a reserved seat at $25

Always with the logic. Where is the fun in that?

Logic is only fun when used on someone who believes themself to be the epitome of logic/morality. ie. Plugger and his everlasting struggle against the umps or BS and the contradictory leaks/support.

Sadly, I think thunda's got a case of valid whinge. If the AFL has decided they're going to step in and fix the situation by smacking the already paid-up punter around their wallet-chops, it's just not the correct way of going about it, even if it's the only direct method of assertive control.

Woe for some true forum sport, eh?

I refuse have any of my hard earned go to that cheating cesspool of a club. Love supporting our boys but there is no way ill be buying a ticket for that game.

It's probably because it's not our home game & the AFL/Essendrug want to maximise the amount of Essendrug supporters under the roof. They do have 53,000 members

How much for the Bummers members to reserve a seat?

Oddly enough a mate at work is an Essendon supporter with AFL membership and even he could only get standing room admission.

I just bought 2 tickets on level 3 for $25 each without quoting my membership number....

So ticketing price may be more to do with the fact that Essendon has a large membership, the stadium has limited seating and Ethihad wrings every cent out the stadium that it can?

Someone asked the saints membership on twitter and I think they said something about the GA cost being discounted from the cost or something?

Anyone know the story?

Don't you think we should ask the club what the story is before jumping to conclusions?

Yeah but we've known that all along. It's fact it's $30 to reserve a seat which is what we are talking about. Not bagging the club like some are trying to claim I am. It was never this expensive.

[FlyingSledghamer]

Good question?? ive been a reserved seat holder since we moved to Colonial Stadium, Telstra Dome, Jihad Stadium. And ive got no idea if the Saints , the AFL, or the stadium get the extra cash?????

 

[SaintsSeptember]

I hate Essendon games.
Maybe I can record myself yelling. EEEELLI, RIWOLDT YOU RIPPA, DUNSTAN , JONESY , and YOU SUCK YOU DRUG CHEATING PRICKS, on mp3's and one of you guys can just play it at full volume to add to the atmosphere.
Oh and also singing the song at the end

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Or we could use this to protest against Essendon and how there captain has not been stood down after admitting to taking a banned substace when Saad was thrown under a bus.
