Get in early

Post by brad »

tickets will sell out for next two weeks with HUGE games Vs Carlton and Collingwood.

Carlton do the unthinkable and pull off a win Vs Pies tomorrow and we'll see close to 85K+ next Saturday night.

Still Premium tickets in P2 on sale at the moment for the Coll Vs Essendon but i'd get in early if you want to secure a ticket.

Coll have 76K members now and being their home game this one could quite easily outnumber ANZAC Day.

how are Collingwood at 76k members, they were sitting around 70200 for weeks and weeks and all of a sudden they jump to 76k? there's some bullshit in that for sure

should be a cracking crowd! just hope we can challenge to keep us loud

Got both of mine already.

Can't wait, though I reckon it may be painful.

ticketek has NOTHING available in the AFL Members now. SOLD OUT

I guess they might end up selling some standing room but i'd be getting there early if you're an AFL member without a reserved seat.

Looks like a crowd in excess of 80K now.

They stop selling them the morning of the match. There was plenty in the AFL members during the week. Pretty much 3/4 of the top level. Will be lucky to get 70k IMO

74,500. Not bad considering there were a lot of empty seats in our members reserve in the Olympic Stand.

Game had have been played Saturday afternoon would have drawn another 10K.

When we're 1st Vs 4th (like Collingwood Vs Carlton last week) we'll get 90K.

Yes the game was shit after half time and crowds aren't the main thing.

MCC predicts 80K for Sunday.

They underestimated us by 10K Vs Carlton so lets see how close they get this week. (overestimated Dees Vs Hawks too. predicted 48K and they only got 29K)

My prediction: 60K Pies fans (this is where their 3 game members get access), 20-25K of us (which is pretty poor really), 5K neutrals = 85K

Probably even more.

We don't get the same numbers rock up to away games and yes the result from Saturday night will have an effect on our support too.

You only need to look at our members turn up to the Geelong game after having been pumped by the Hawks the week before.
