The Collingwood game won't be switched - now what?

[hawker11]

Given that the AFL will continue its 'zero respect' policy on Hawthorn and its fans by not switching the Haw v Coll game to the MCG - what is the best procedure to ensure that we get in to the Telstra Dome? When can tickets be pre-booked for this match? How much will they be for members/non-members and what choices of seats do Hawthorn members get? I hope Hawthorn does as much as it can to ensure that Hawthorn members are not locked out of this match.

Have you given up? Has God handed down from on high. If Demetriou or the faceless men of the AFL wont accept then it is time to start holding the AFL commissioners to account.

What have you done about this matter Eddie and Jeff?

And what are the contractual reasons that have been referred to? There is just so much acquiesence in the community that it is hard to stomach. Where is the transparency in what is OUR game?

 

[Philhawk]

AFL members reserve sold out for the match already.

Bravo AFL, jolly well done.

 

[Mervyn Beasley]

Heard A anderson comment the other day.
They are worried about switching it, then getting rain and less than 5ok turning up. Pathetic.
They are worried about possibly looking stupid, but look stupid anyway!!

AFL members reserve sold out for the match already.

Bravo AFL, jolly well done.

This is now gone to far, Jeff and Ian Robbson must now demand that we move the game or to boycot it, this is not fair, Jeffs gotta now show hes power and make the change for the sake of footy and get rid of that Hawthorn hating bum Demtriou

At the end of the day playing in front of a pro Collingwood crowd could do our playing group wonders...especially if we have to go to Subiaco during the finals

I'm an MCC member but I dont the membership to get tickets for the game I use a different method because the MCC level 2 are way too expensive for me. So I can't help you as to when/if these tickets normally sell out. I dont know on those points but I hope that helps.

Cheers for that mate. I would think (hope) they'll leave us some. Ill just have to get in early on that friday!

 

[Mervyn Beasley]

Has it been confirmed that Hawk fans will only get leftovers, or will we be able to get tix on same day as them.?
Anyone?

 

[jazz]

If getting into the game isn't possible, I'm guessing that it will be shown live at good sporting pubs.

Any suggestions for good ones?

[The Cryptkeeper]

I have HFC Reserved Social Club Membership. I also purchased the two top-up games with this membership at the time. Am I entitled to get entry on match day or do I need to also pre-book a ticket?

This is a diabolical situation. Demetriou must be laughing with his million dollar a year salary. The AFL is a bullshit, facist organistaion. They do not give a rat's arse about the fans.

 

[Murray Hawk]

This is a designated extra home game in lieu of the Tassie deal. Purchased tickets last night with ticketmaster on-line Cost me $22 for a reserved adult seat on level 1 and $7 per child. Nots sure there is much else left so I'd get in quick.
