Yeah, the worst that could happen is you get tasered or shot. Good luck.

Why the * would they shoot a 15yo white boy for trying to sneak into the Mcg? Please explain.
Hot tip: don't be an unarmed black man.

Okay guys. I'm here with a detailed analysis on my favourite plan to get in and the prices compared to buying a ticket.
From the AFL website:
HI-VIS VEST - $6.95
http://www.getworkweardirect.com/hi...TU-aufwBm5zxEjU_-duthjxwK38NkRDEjVBoCEozw_wcB
This vest is fluoro green and has STAFF on the back. You can also get a logo embroidered on but that is at an additional cost.
WINE CRATE - $20.71 approx.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/181765087875?lpid=107&chn=ps
This crate holds 6 bottles of wine.
CHEAP BOTTLES OF WINE - 6 x $2.89 = $17.34
https://www.aldi.com.au/en/grocerie...etail/ps/p/precious-earth-shiraz-merlot-2014/
Aldi sell cheap wine and have two wines for only $2.89 which you don't even have to drink, just keep re-using it each year if it lasts.
RESPONSIBLE SERVICE OF ALCOHOL CERTIFICATE - FREE
https://michaelhaycroft.com/documents/RSA_Certificate_MichaelHaycroft.jpg
Just edit your name onto it.
At this point it costs a total of $45. However the next two costs apply to those who do not own the rest of the equipment.
BLACK WORK PANTS - $30
http://www.kmart.com.au/product/cordura-slim-leg-work-pants/809976
I'm sure most of us own a suitable pair of pants for this but if you don't, these are $30.
SLIP ON WORKBOOTS - $34
http://www.kmart.com.au/product/panther-slip-on-work-boot/809801
Again, most of us own a suitable pair of shoes but these are $34
Now we are at $109 which is a saving of $886
WALKIE TALKIE - $69.95
http://www.dshop.com.au/buy/2-x-wir...4l4-vcSNBiEky8u-XTBoHk7GiuxVqMJv2HhoCTlDw_wcB
This is an optional extra that is really for authenticity but can also fall back on you because you have no one to talk to. Thankfully because there are two you can give it to someone and get them to act as if they are in the MCG.
With the Walkie Talkie you can pay $178.95 to get into the Grand Final. A saving of $816.05!
STEPS (because I forgot them earlier)
1. Go to an entrance - ideally the one with the youngest looking attendant.
2. Tell them that you are delivering wine to the Veolia corporate box and you were running late today. Show them your crates and your RSA Certificate. If you have a badge show them that.
3. If this works then you're in. You can either go to a corporate box and give them the wine or watch the match. And if you get in through the gates, try getting into the Members Stand.
And that's a Grand Final between $45 and $178.95 - good luck!
From the AFL website:
Just $995? Okay. Here's a much cheaper alternative and the steps and prices involved.

So you can say "I'm delivering this wine to a corporate box." The crate is so you look more professional and the wine can be drank at the match.

I tried to go through the toilets section but they had a guy in his 60's "guarding" the fence.
Its all catered for i doubt they are going to let a random holding a box of wine with no ID in..

If you
1) are too stingy to be a club member to at least get in the ballot, and/or
2) aren't creative enough to figure out a way in, and/or
3) are too lazy to take some ideas from this thread
... you don't deserve to be there.
I have to admit I look forward to this thread every year 
Go the week before and get a pass out.

They haven't done pass outs at the MCG in years - you just have to keep your ticket and scan in and out now.
I hate to be all Buzz Killington, but this is why the aforementioned idea about trying to use the same ticket twice wouldn't work. It's not just scanning your ticket, it's scanning your barcode so it can only be used once.

These ideas are full of s**t. I'm 15 I can't buy wine and pretend I'm delivering to a corporate box, plus they are gonna check for ID some proof. Also when your 15 you don't have $1000 to spend on a membership and GF tickets every year.

Plus I'm just asking if anyone can help me get in so there is less chance of me being caught. I really don't understand why you had to go out of your way to comment on something that doesn't effect you or anyone else cares about.
I'm sure its been covered but using one ticket but photocopying off 2 copies of it can actually work apparently. You and your mate must use the ticket at roughly the same time though as it takes a few seconds for the ticket to register into the database. I'm not sure if this is true but it sounds legit but would be fairly hard to implement.

I don't understand why you feel so entitled to a free entry, at no risk, when thousands of people will go to the GF having waited their whole lives for it, and having made a lot of sacrifices to get there.
You say you're 15, so I'll tell you how to get into the GF with no risk of being arrested. Go and get a *in job.
