About ~10k tickets were given to Multiplex and their subbies including a few corporates also. I knew a few people who went a long. From various snapchats I saw it looked amazing. Could see it from Highgate lit up in the scorchers colours. A shame it wont be utilised enough at night next year.

Hope your daughter's grad ceremony was worth it.

edit: funny they used the green tents when there are perfectly good and large players boxes/dugouts - perhaps they are in the wrong location however for cricket (behind bowlers arm?)
edit: shame when BBL played there for real it will be day games starting at 4pm or thereabouts..

The dugouts will be covered with sightscreen.

Correct, you can see the sight screen blocking off the dugouts on the left side of the photo.

Same as what happens at the MCG and the Gabba. One of the drawbacks of building a east-west stadium.

Won’t really be lit up ever except post games. We want pre game light shows

Fair to assume it's Skyscrapercity, where 90% of the pics in this thread are lifted from
What's immediately striking is how imposing it looks close to ground level. I'm going to the ODI on the 28th and I cant ******* wait to see it in person. A packed house should produce a wall of sound unlike anything most WA footy-goers have experienced.

Comparatively it all looks on par. Interesting to note how much the "Special" items will be, no dount some extra margin placed on those "Gourmet" items. Still disgusted there is no full strength beer option. $8.50 for a Mid-Strength is why I typically wont drink at the football at all, unless in a box.

Interesting they didnt compare it to the MCGs pricing.

I think it's fairly obvious why, the MCG is cheaper across the board.

I've been away for a while and just to catch up on the gossip...
So with that whole 10 year lease thing the WA football commission/company had on Subi, I was just wondering how much did the Owner of the Eagle&Dockers Pty Ltd end up extorting from their faithful supporters in this financially gruelling time WA is currently struggling through?
Just on a side note, how much profit did the WCE & FD (cough, cough) Football Clubs make in 2017???

I think that one is more justifiable, given demand and supply. MCG and Etihad often sit half to even more empty for non blockbuster games so the price is lower to entice more patrons. Adelaide and more pertinently Subiaco and the stadium will have very limited GA seats available, especially Optus, so the price will be higher. I don't have as much of a problem with the ticket pricing to be honest given its following standard economic principles.
From memory you could get GA tickets from about $35 at Subi.
