Re: Dreamtime at the G - Ticket sales update

Its saving 10 bucks like I give two hoots, thought I would ask.

Thanks for no answer, why respond?

Re: Dreamtime at the G - Ticket sales update

With no general admission areas available, any chance of the crowd topping 90k?

Will depend on weather and MCC turnout.

Nice night, no rain, not too cold, might just get to 90k.

With live coverages, shit weather tends to keep a few on their couch instead.

It’s our home game so will depend on your membership type.

If you have away game rights you can use it for a cheaper ticket I think, otherwise you buy a public ticket.

Re: Dreamtime at the G - Ticket sales update

You need a reserve ticket, so no you can't scan in otherwise.

Shower or two clearing. Top of 18 during the day.

I would hope many of the Bomber faithful make it a full-on footy day and start with Collingwood v Bendigo at 1pm out at Victoria Park!!!!

Cos I'm a smartarse!

You should hop onto the website and see if you can upgrade. Like now.
There won't be many left for the away supporters, if any...

From what the Ess website says, you won't get in unless you have a reserved seat or have upgraded to one.

Pazza - Going to Vic Park sounds like a good idea, espescially with Gumby and probably Pears and Myers playing. I should go.

Re: Dreamtime at the G - Ticket sales update

Thanks boys, one final question well curious statement actually. Just purchased many tickets and it looks as though I am sitting in MCC upper deck. Just curious as to how they do this and does it happen often they open it to general public.

There's a bit that they open up - not all of it. 3 bays maybe? And it's only when MCC don't expect members' to sell out.

Should be decent seats.

And they normally only open them up when it's going to be close to capacity.

Re: Dreamtime at the G - Ticket sales update

Just tweeted by MCG:

Demand is such that all tickets will sell before match day.

Re: Dreamtime at the G - Ticket sales update

I have a couple of spare tickets if any Bomber fans want them for $50 for the both... Q12 BB.

Re: Dreamtime at the G - Ticket sales update

Can AFL members just walk up and walk in? Same with MCC?

Re: Dreamtime at the G - Ticket sales update

Just got my tickets. There won't be many left by the look of it, get in now anyone waiting.

Re: Dreamtime at the G - Ticket sales update

They left that change a bit late.

Thanks for the heads up.

I would suggest the surge of interest in the game after the weekends results would give them no other option.

I would expect a crowd in the order of 83,000.

I bought tix this morning which had the pax at 75,000. No idea how that factors in the walk up for the mcc or afl members.

I got a text from Essendon about an hour ago which said there would be no General Admission available on the night.

I'd suggest the crowd could go into the mid to high 80s.

Re: Dreamtime at the G - Ticket sales update

Foxtel always keeps a few K away.I expect 85k.
The days of 90k crowds in H and A are over.


I'd love to see it happen though.Cya at Richmond Paddock!

 

[Doss]

Re: Dreamtime at the G - Ticket sales update

The last time a H/A game match other than Anzac Day drew more than 90k was way back in 2000, when we played Carlton late in the year.

So I'd wager you'd be right on that one.

Outdraw the GF replay = job done.

Which we should. Don't Geelong typically struggle with Friday nights?

yeah, they struggle with most games at the MCG. Hawks-Cats always gets more than Cats-Hawks....

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Re: Dreamtime at the G - Ticket sales update

Friday night in town is a bit of pain in the arse for those who live and work in Geelong, definitely would impact the crowd. And like with every other factor live coverage just adds to it.

Will be a bit left in AFL members for walk-up i’d say. Easy to upgrade for $6 though.

The MCC sometimes hand a bay or two on the top level over to GA. I didn’t think it happened much for Essendon games though cos I think we have a fair number of MCC members. Still it won’t be full, never is except for GFs.

Re: Dreamtime at the G - Ticket sales update

Well, they have to commute, the poor parochial sods. Difficult on a Friday night when you clock off at 5, I guess.

EDIT: Yes, BM sums it up nicely.

Re: Dreamtime at the G - Ticket sales update

P18, Row C. Like a baws!

AFL membership stuffed up their seating and gave me a second card with seats in P15, might have to see if these work too...
