Do they really need to charge entry for this?
Hiring big screens wouldn't be all that cheap. That said, would anyone really miss the pre-game entertainment? Could probably make it cheaper by scrapping thatIn 2010, it was held at Aami Park and it was free + the team showed up for post game celebrations and had Lionel Richie perform, now their charging $20 to have it on our training oval.

Richmond did last year. I don't see the problem. It costs money to run.Do they really need to charge entry for this?
How is the club non-for-profit? They 100% are motivated to make a profit, more than that their profit margins are used as a focal point for their success.There are a bunch of reasons why money would be charged ...
(1) They need to get a good idea of how many numbers will turn up (crowd control compliance, appropriate facilities are provided eg: portaloos)
(2) By ticketing it, they know that the event won’t be flooded by more people than it has capacity for.
(3) By charging for the ticket they know that people who acquired a ticket will more likely show up. The more they charge, the less likely people will change their mind and go to their mates friend’s BBQ instead. (I went to a event this week that charged $95 purely so they ensured that people showed up ... I know this because I called up 30 minutes before the event and asked if there was someway I could get in eventhough I didn’t have a ticket, and they happily let me in for free)
(4) These things do cost money to run (screen hire, portaloos, ticketing, security, admin) - somebody has to pay for it.
(5) Our club is a not-for-profit. Us members don’t allow the club to charge any more for membership than what is essential. If the club had made this a free event, there would probably be members whinging that they’re paying too much money in membership dues.

What exactly are their costs? Security? Probably a couple grand there. Foxtel subscription to watch the footy? $65 there but probably free. Seating? Probably a sunk cost. Live entertainment? Probably free of charge, depends who they get, not expecting U2.
What are their costs? If only 1000 people show up (will probably be more) they make $20'000, 5000 show up you have $100'000.
I don't think it's unreasonable for the club to throw an event for the fans that will cost them nothing out of Goodwill rather than charging people $20 entry. Completely different to the Margaret Court situation last week.
Tickets end up being 26.50 because Ticketek are scum.
Should cost less but I’ve got my ticket. I wish I could go to the G but at least I’ll be watching with an army of the Magpie faithful.

ffs, it's only $20. you get to be surrounded by other club supporters and celebrate on what is possibly going to be a fantastic day.Poor form from the club. Pure cash grab. Why would you want to drive the fans away? Just dumb pr
Are these live sites any good or just too crowded and not an enjoyable experience? Asking for a friend.
It is superior to watching it from the comfort of my home on a massive TV?
What happens afterwards in the event we possibly win? Just raid the MCG or stay put at Olympic for a presentation?I reckon the atmosphere could very well be better than being at the actual game.

Good question.
If we win, would have thought Olympic Park Oval would be the place to be.
(IIRC in 2010 they went back to AAMI Park afterwards)
You remember correctly because I remember being thereGood question.
