True but they wont be any cheaper if they go to 70k.
If West Coast were to offer 10k more memberships they'd sell exactly 10k more memberships.
Actual season ticket reserved seat memberships, not $50 trinket memberships with 1 game GA.

Wow, people have lives - you might be a little more realistic addressing why the Dogs cant fill Mars Stadium @ Ballarat:

Another poster playing the man not the ball. What has the bulldogs got to do with this thread? never mentioned or compaired. Fact is the stadium is not full every game (in fact only was for 2 finals) so why would the gov upgrade capacity when there is only a need "if" the eagles/freo make finals which isnt a given.Until the stadium is full for both freo and wc games every week it won't be getting upgraded.
Its the final 100 ranked players that are in question, not the others,

Absolutely the wrong logic. Let's imagine that the AFL expanded to 20 teams and with trades etc there was good distribution of player's talents then the attractiveness of football would rise as there would be higher scoring. The opposite would be true if the AFL reduced the number of teams and concentrated talent.
I attend the WAFL and other football and find it very entertaining. It is largely devoid of the issues affecting the AFL.
The attacking football in the WAFL more than makes up for the lesser standard.
I'm not on about footys attractiveness.
I'm happy with the 2nd tier, more so this week.
By the way, I think those who want to increase the size of the Perth stadium are not in the real world, just as increasing AO at this time is premature.
Why ?

There is nothing like a full stadium for atmosphere - remember the first time I went to the G with real crowd, mid 80s, be with me forever. Half full stadium not on my bucket list.
Isn't the MCG running on 50% ?
There's more noise at Perth Stadium than for same crowd at Subiaco because of the design.
Adding more seats in themselves cannot take away atmosphere.
Thing is at 80k, there would still be no walk-up tickets for Eagles games.Should've been 80. Absolutely stupid but that's what happens here.. There should always be the opportunity for people to role up and watch..
WACA will never host footy againWhen Perth gets a 3rd team to be the city's 2nd most followed team... then 80k will possibly be viable.
Maybe the WACA will also host our 3rd best team (2nd atm) to avoid them playing in a half full stadium.

I know it’s a big difference, but tickets to the Storm Prelim Final last week were $25 to sit 5 rows back from the ground at one end. Admittedly not the best seats but they weren’t bad at all. WC Games are too expensive but there has to be a reason. I guess I’m just used to going to a 100k stadium with plenty of empty seats.

There is no room for half measures. A 3rd WA team must play at the big stadium or else it is not worth it.
Realistically there is no need for the WACA to be maintained in the current format, it should be downsized.
Melbourne have more than double the population of Perth.
4.6m compared to 2m.
100,000 seat stadium is 2.1% of Melbourne's population.
60,000 seat Stadium is 3% of Perth population.
Simplistically the stadium fits with our population.
West Coast also want to keep supply low so they can charge the highest membership prices.

Maybe if Perth get the Olympic Games we'll increase the capacity as well.Melbourne had a 100,000 cap MCG back in the 1950s when the population was about the same as Perths is now.
Melbourne is now at 5 million now and growing by over 100,000 per year..
Any standing at Optus would be a goodFor here and the mcg, have some areas which can convert to ‘safe standing’ forr really big games
To have walk-up tickets available, we'd need more seats than seated members.Thing is at 80k, there would still be no walk-up tickets for Eagles games.
