Adelaide Crowd?

[dockshark]

31000 to a Semi Final. It seems those that are there don't understand the rules. What's up Adelaide?

 

[livnixon9]

Aren't crowds down 10% this season? AFL isn't as healthy at it seems.

 

[Mateyman]

Something odd has happened. Heaps of empty seats. 13,000 less than last week

it was 44k last week, and only in victoria, interstate afl games do better then ever

Should have been a full house, this is unusual.

 

[kickazz]

AFL jacked up the prices of finals tix a fair bit this year. Gotta be a factor, esp in current economic climate.

 

[bulletproof]

Ticket prices for the finals are a scandal. People just don't have the money to pay 70 dollars for a ticket.

 

[Bluelegs]

Finals are expensive. AFL raising the price has backfired.

Friday night, 8:15pm start, overpriced tickets, versus Fremantle...not exactly positive factors.

 

[Tiff]

Terrible. Our memberships go up spoon or finals.

You'd pay over 500 bucks for a late to ticket to a game like this in Perth.

 

[MightyHawks]

Finals tickets are way more expensive this year

Certainly impacts on a second home final

 

[J_M_J]

I'm calling fairweather supporters. Nobody misses a final here in Perth.

Shouldn't matter, it's a final!

 

[glengowan]

Will get a bigger crowd at the SANFL Grand Final.

 

[Bluelegs]

Shouldn't matter, it's a final!

If you can't afford it, you can't afford it.

Yep.

inb4 usual Adelaide bashing bullshit

 

[Copernicus]

Pretty terrible form. One wonders why Aussie sports fans can't afford cheap tickets compared to what's on offer in comparable leagues in Europe and the US (for football/gridiron at least).

 

[dockshark]

Finals are expensive. Is that the best you can do? Maybe Adelaide footy fans lack passion. If I didn't have to work tomorrow I would have payed whatever was required to get there.

Pathetic Adelaide. Thumbsdown.

Smaller population=Smaller wealthy population. US has 300 million people, not as hard to dig up 50,000 people who can afford to go to a league game.

 

[dockshark]

If you can't afford it, you can't afford it.

Seriously, who can't afford $100 (or whatever)

 

[dockshark]

Yep.

I like Adelaide the city. Why do the Crows fans boo so much though?

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Hill hurt? Shoulder?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

It's gotta be cost, only explanation. Price of going to 2 or 3 finals can be more than what people pay for their membership for the whole year. Perhaps the missing 13k really only could budget for one final.

 

[Bluelegs]

Two weeks in a row with hundreds more if you make the big one? Add travel fees and yeah, finals are pretty expensive. I'm sure many are planning ahead.

The reason for bad crowd?
