Essendon V Collingwood crowd

[brad]

For any Essendon fans who don't have reserved seats for our home matches you can currently get GOOD seats in the Southern Stand (where majority of Dons fans will be) on level 3 (P Section).

IF we happen to get over the line today against the Tigers there'll be 80K+ next Saturday.

GO BOMBERS!

Your season is dead so you won't turn out in your usual numbers. Your average late season against them is c.62,000 and there will be a few more of them than usual and a few less of you. Crowd will not be foar off 62,000.

This week is our HOME game.

Unlike the big bandwagoning clubs (Richmond and Carlton), Essendons lowest HOME attendance down the bottom is 28k v Port Adelaide on a Sunday Twilight.

There wont be less than that playing on a Sat arvo against collingwood.

Re: Essendon V Collingwood

Agreed, its our home game which means that we will pull around the 65k mark. Hopefully 70

Re: Essendon V Collingwood

Please win this game, if you guys do it will go along way to stopping Collingwood from playing finals as they have a hard draw coming up (St Kilda, Hawthorn, Sydney, Port in Adelaide and Freo in Perth). Considering their percentage they will probley only need 2 wins to get in there, but if you beat them, they might not do it. CARN ESSENDON!

Re: Essendon V Collingwood

Is the whole ponsford stand going to be open for general admission or is it going to be top of the olympic stand?

 

[Bomber32]

Re: Essendon V Collingwood

We will be lucky to get more than 65,000 for this game. With the exception of Anzac Day, Collingwood fans just do not turn up to our home games in large numbers.

Re: Essendon V Collingwood

Nearly in the next post code, but oh well.

 

[danzan22]

Re: Essendon V Collingwood

I'll be there, sdirectly behind the Collingwood cheer squad but second level about 8 rows back, hopefully we can put in a better performance than last time so I can stick it to all the pies supporters around me

Re: Essendon V Collingwood

Re: Essendon V Collingwood

I went last week, but I can't go this weeks due to family commitments (I have to take my younger brother to his footy that does not finish until 3pm).

Re: Essendon V Collingwood

I got beautiful seats in the pocket at the members area...

About 15 seats back on level 1.

Apparently I was spotted on TV by a few mates against Carlton in round 3.

Re: Essendon V Collingwood

Hi guys and gals....sorry to intrude but.....

It's funny i rang ticketmaster on Wednesday on behalf of my brother (11 game Essendon home member) to see about the availability of seats and he told me they were almost all gone (as in game sell out). All he could offer me was row X or Z in Q28 or something like that. After dealing with his rude ass for 5 minutes i told him there would be a snow flake's chance in hell there would be any more than 70k there then hung up. Heck, we couldn't pack the G for what was a supposed "sell out" on Friday night. When 65k turn up i think it stinks people have to sit in the back row.

My question is, is this a common occurance with Essendon membership?? Are all of your games fully ticketed?? Even at the MCG??
I would think you (as an essendon member) would have the right to get in next week (home v MELB, MCG) for free buy scanning your membership.
Are all of your Telstra Dome games fully ticketed??

 

[danzan22]

The game agaisnt collingwood was not fully ticketed, only Telstra Dome games are fully ticketed.

I ended up sitting in the collingwood cheer squad, oh how sweet it was

You idiot. Why do you comment on something you have no idea about. It's not ticketmasters fault. They can only sell what is in front of them. The AFL instruct ticketmaster on what they can sell. Get your facts right. If the afl only wanted to sell the last 4 rows of the top deck then that is all ticketmaster could offer you.

Yeah it is ticketmasters fault, they try selling the shithouse seats before they sell any good seats at all.

I tried buying level 1 seats off the net from ticketmaster and all they could come up with was level 3 row X at the dome. I then showed up on the night and bought level 1 seats with ease.

Thats just how they roll.

Once again you are an idiot. Did you not read what I said. IT is up to the AFL 110% what tickets are released first and in what order. It's the tickets the AFL want to sell first. All ticketmaster do is provide a service in selling them onto the buyers. The afl decide which sections to release, the times they are released and how many tickets released.

U get it?

No doubt you work with Ticketmaster as you are getting quite worked up. No need to be so aggressive.

Worked up no. Just annoyed with all the misguided comments. People find it easy to slag off things when they don't even have any facts.

 

[bingle]

gee wiz toddy take a chill pill mate.
i wouldnt be slagging them off so much if they werent as rude as they were. You get told different stories of what is available at what times when you go to an outlet as opposed to over the phone. At least those are my experiences.

Yes i have done this numerous times with Geelong membership. AND i dont have to pay a cent for level 1 tickets when i do this. Definitely the way to go if you can get there early and it isnt a sell-out.

i saw some kid at the game who i could've sworn was you, just wreaked of attitude. ha. you sure you didn't change towards the flank (close to where reimers had those two set shots straight after each other)?
