Yes, I know that if you live in Victoria, this is going to come across as the whinging of the rich and famous. Sorry and sympathies. I have no doubt that our turn for lockdown will come soon enough - as it probably will around most Australian cities.
Anyway... I obviously now live in Brisbane and was thrilled to see the club coming up to play - so when the Qld membership offer (including first access to tickets) was announced, I signed up right away. We can only really expect to get one chance per year to see Geelong in the flesh - so three whole games is a pretty incredible opportunity.
So, anyway, I was disappointed to see that the tickets are only on-sale in banks of 2, 4 or 6 - and that this isn't made public when you sign up for the QLD membership. I'm the only AFL fan I know in Brisbane - and it seems rather counterproductive to try and split the cost with a stranger in COVID19 times, so it's a double-price ticket. It's hardly as though the AFL is going to fill the ground (even allowing for distancing) for Geelong vs North on a Wednesday night.
Refusing to sell in sets of 1, 3 or 5 does smack of a ticketing organisation wanting to milk a bit more money where they can. It's greedy and cynical, and it's a shame.
