Crowd at MCG tonight

[Cmarsh]

Seems pretty ordinary for a prelim with two Vic teams.

Are ticket prices too expensive this year or are the populous a little over the Hawthorn/Geelong thing?

 

[Adz]

The Non Collingwood factor.

 

[mellowyellow]

The hawks factor

 

[treefingers]

the exorbitant prices factor

 

[bradrowe#32]

The Non Collingwood factor.

Yep. Andy stuffed up.

 

[the harry]

Price. I would have gone but looking at the best part of $100 for the Mrs and I

 

[Cmarsh]

The Non Collingwood factor.

Coll V Port 50k

Geel V Port 52k

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Geelong vs Tassie


Not a single Melbourne based team was seen that day.

 

[Stopher]

The Non Collingwood factor.

Carlton v Richmond was a non-Collingwood 'factor' too, no?

 

[Blood Bath]

Looks pretty full to me.

Cost me $450 for 3 tickets for Saturday's game.

Are you blind?

 

[Blood Bath]

What are you on about? The stadium is full minus a small scatter of seats on the top level.

 

[Spongebob]

Should have played at Kardinia Park.

Yeah I know it's more expensive over there. But your team is playing and I'm a cheap student lol

This alludes to my point in the OP. Freo are pretty new to this thing of genuinely contending - their fans would perhaps be more excited then Hawks and Cats fans who have done all this thing before.

 

[RandB]

85k they reckon on ch7.

 

[workhorse]

Ticket Price $$$

 

[Illinois Nazi]

85,000 what a disgrace.

 

[workhorse]

85k they reckon on ch7.

Not a chance in my opinion. There'd be 20k empty at least in the top of the Olympic, Southern & Ponsford Stands

 

[final fight]

People don't like being screwed for finals. Simply don't turn up to a final and show the AFL we run the show.

Only 80,000 then.

 

[BG32]

The s**t umpiring

 

[stellation]

Only 80,000 then.

Yep, Buddy will be looking in the stands and thinking "may as well be playing at Skoda".

 

[workhorse]

Only 80,000 then.

Having seen the crowd from the spidercam that quarter, I'm gonna say its probably more like 15-20k spare.
80-85k, not sure why people would complain given the ridiculous price of tickets.
