Question for Good Friday.

I go every year with a couple of casuals who aren't members. Am I right in saying that I won't be able to get tickets, so we can all sit together?

You can still book with them, however you'll have to forgoe your spot in the member queue and book tickets when available for the general public (if any tickets are left).

Thanks, look like the only hope to sit together is if capacity if lifted.

FWIW - Staggering the level of complication booking seats when from where I sat there was no rhyme or reason as to where people were sitting. The stadium was barely a quarter full yet people were allocated seats directly next to us (which I was fine with BTW). Sitting in our regularly allocated reserved seats would have literally had the same social distancing achievement.

******* waste of everyone's time.

You can see why people couldn't be bothered with it.

These AFL campaigners carry on as if they are doing the spectators a favor.

Meh. It's a pain but I'll still go to every home game. FWIW it was great to just be back at the footy and I enjoyed yesterday more than any single game I watched on a screen last year. Nothing beats live footy.

Yeah you could see it on level 2, it looked like they had sold the first 4 rows or so but the back 10 rows of so had no one in them. THe approach they took to the A league was you are sold a row but not a specific seat and you could sit anywhere in the row as long as you kept 2 seats distance to the next person not in your party.

That giants crowd is low as well

Fair chance the weather played a big part in that.

I don’t think crowds will return to pre covid levels for a very long time. No walk ups, no more spur of the moment “let’s go to the footy” casuals, the complexity for a lot of people about booking online etc, the inability to go with mates who have different types of memberships or who aren’t members, the happy to just watch it on tv now fan will all have an impact.....Not everyone out there is hardcore or rusted on like most on here.

A couple of mates of mine who I stand with every week had their first experience of level 3 on Sunday. Both have declared that’s not for them and won’t be back until they can take their usual spot on the concourse. God knows when that will be.

Particularly as the Saints fans sounded much louder, suggesting they dominated the numbers in the outer.

There were people standing on Level 1 Documents side

You'll be moved on if you try to stand behind the seating bays

Why?

Why?

Covid s**t

 

[giantroo]

75% crowds from round 2 onwards.

 

[wolvesRoos]

thats great news

 

[Passmore]

Why?

Given people we're being squeezed in with no distancing in my area, I ask the same question.

Lucky for us they didn’t bring that in ahead of round 1.

Vic crowds unlikely to be at 75 per cent for round two: AFL

Crowds locked in at 75%.

We simply must get a minimum of 35k to Good Friiday, but the big one for me is Round 4.

We simply must get 20k to our Adelaide home match. The club needs to build this up as much as possible.

 

[Ry009]

For anyone looking for a source. Seems odd though AFL says unlikely, then very next day all good. Surely they would have known.

‘Pretty tricky’ to fill MCG to capacity on Anzac Day, but AFL hopeful

The AFL remains cautiously optimistic the MCG will be full on Anzac Day, after health authorities gave the league the green light for Victorian stadiums to increase their limit to 75 per cent capacity from Thursday.
