[Vred]

Driving over.
Going to Dogs vs Cats
Pies vs Hawks

[MrMahatma]

I’m flying in from Brisbane for the whole weekend. Gonna try and get to as many games as possible.

Don’t decide yet on Gold Coast, just wait until the day ;)

[MrMahatma]

Got a 4 game pass for Adelaide oval, and the Lions v Roos on Friday arvo. Will be a massive weekend!

[CTB]

Got a 2 day pass today, for Port Feral’s v Duddoro’s Bombers on the Friday night then our double header game on Saturday. Issues with Ticketek for a fair while but eventually got there, using m’ship discount to get Cat 1 seats. Surprised how good the seats ended up being after not being successful until a fair time after tickets went on sale ��. Should be awesome weekend !

[Axe Man]

Got my gather round tickets, had to wait until public sale today as I needed more tickets than I had barcodes. Just going to our game at this stage.

Free accommodation at the in-laws in Adelaide and will drive over as airfares are a bit steep for the whole family.

Axe Man, you should have yelled out, you could have used mine.

Thanks, I did think about asking for some barcodes but it only cost me $70 so no big deal.

I can't justify a trip to Adelaide as the following week I am off on my Korea trip.

Anyway, in future don't be shy to ask.

Bump

Reminder on tickets

[Vred]

Just bought tickets for all the games I can attend to round 14.

Also ended up nabbing a 4 game Gather'Round pass (Fri, dual-Saturday, and Collingwood Sunday).

[Eastdog]

Got my tickets for our away games at the MCG and Marvel.

I'm looking forward to catching up with the regulars again where I sit at Marvel including Prince Imperial at the home games.

[chef]

Tickets got for round 1. Cant wait to pump the dees.

[Rocco Jones]

Going to take my daughter to Suns Ballarat game, lucky kid. Anyway, looked at prices and seems like no discount for members. Is this right?

None. I just bought tickets for that myself.

24th of March is also my birthday, so, feel free to come buy me a beer.

Unless you have a ''Ballarat'' membership you pay full price.

[Axe Man]

There was some special for the 2 Ballarat games for $22 GA.

[Rocco Jones]

Anyone know if the Ballarat GA membership can be upgraded to revered seating and how much is saved?

[Glove38]

I've always just got general admission at Marvel as Im an AFL club support and social club member while the rest of the family are standard members.

I was looking to upgrade to level 2 seating but the club are telling me I would need to pay entry and reserve seating with the AFL membership. Given its a club support and I have a social club this doesn't sound right. Ive spoken to the club multiple times but got slightly different responses each time. Anyone been able to combine AFL and regular memberships for reserved seats without getting penalised?

Thanks

You should be able to get level two with your AFL membership?

[Glove38]

I can but I can't seem to be able to do with the rest of family. Apparently the barcodes aren't compatible. It just doesn't make sense to me.

[bornadog]

I see what you mean, you won't be able to sit together.

I sometimes sit with my cousin in Isle 40, when my seat is in Isle 31. If there is no one sitting next to him, then he lets me know and I just go over. :) I know it is not an ideal solution.

[Rocco Jones]

Are all seats at Mars Stadium undercover?

The whole of Tongala will be there to cheer on their boy, so add 1000

Yeah shit day for us to play, especially so early. I cant make it.

[Grantysghost]

With 50k members I don't get it but yes i expect so.

[Grantysghost]

Yeah shit day for us to play, especially so early. I cant make it.

Why is it a shit day?

Sunday 1pm bloody awesome.

Edit: Oh it's easter sorry - I don't follow that team ;)

Normally it'd be perfect, but ive got 3 young grandkids so other priorities win out. TV it is.

Ah fair enough. Enjoy!

[chef]

If it wasnt Easter yeah.

[angelopetraglia]

Easter Sunday, in the middle of the Easter long weekend. So many people get away over this period. Also, lots of people celebrate Easter together as a family at Easter lunch.

I can't see this being a big crowd.

[Prince Imperial]

The last two Easter Sundays has seen Essendon play GWS and Freo attracting 28k and 23k respectively.

WC are not currently a drawcard for their fans.

We got 23,965 last year against them, so I'm guessing around 21-22k this time.

[Rocco Jones]

Could the club use this as an opportunity? Super cheap tickets (I know already cheap anyway but kids free if with an adult?) + Easter Eggs galore.

[angelopetraglia]

Dogs v Eagles. Docklands.

2023 - 23,965
2021 - 21,391
2018 - 22,868
2017 - 29,671
2016 - 28,769

13 games since 2004. Average crowd = 24,153. Median crowd = 22,868.

Average by day.

Friday 30,900 (one game)
Saturday 26,095 (four games)
Sunday 22,868 (seven games)

Being Easter Sunday. I think it is a good result if we get more than 20K.

(By the way. 13 games. Eagles have won 8.)

$15 GA tickets pretty cheap, but I like the idea of Free for kids plus some easter eggs

[Mantis]

Kids (and adults) will be able to have kick 2 kick on the ground after Sunday's game which is a good thing.

My mum was knocked out back in the early 90s at the Western Oval by a wet old Sherrin torp that came of the side of the boot. I saw it happening was nothing i could do. She was sitting on those wooden seats around the inside of the fence.
Luckily first aid and a hospital were close by.

I copped a wet footy to the forehead in a game once. Was running at the opposition player in possession Maynard v Brayshaw style but not as close, the trajectory of the kick was a bit low and I went from upright to flat on my back wondering WTF just happened in a instant.

22,991 crowd today. Almost identical to our Sunday average against the Eagles over the journey at Docklands. Decent result for Easter Sunday.

My bad, sorry mate

I know it wasn't you because you can't fire off a good spiral to save yourself.

[Axe Man]

Anyone know why you can't currently purchase a GA ticket for tomorrow night?

I need tickets for my son and a mate and am not keen on paying $56 for a reserved level 3 seat.

AFL Members wesbsite is saying for walk ups only standing room is now available. Maybe GA is now all sold out.

[angelopetraglia]

Further to that. The club sent an email about returning your seat if you can't make it for a potential credit of $10 if they are successful. So assuming if that is an inidcator that it is close to a sell out.

If you're trying to buy two next to each other it won't work most of the availble seats left (if there are any now) are single seats.

There were some seats left in Section 3/4 on level 3 yesterday but not sure if they are still available now.

[Axe Man]

AFL Members wesbsite is saying for walk ups only standing room is now available. Maybe GA is now all sold out.

I guess they need to allow for GA members to walk up.

They used to fully ticket games like this and GA members could reserve a seat for a nominal fee. Feels like a better system than the current one.

No, that's not true - they are currently selling row G on level 3 in many bays, plenty of adjacent seats.

Ticketmaster? I struggled to find two seats together outside Aisle 3 and 4 on Level 3 yesterday on Ticketmaster. Actually the only adjacent seats available were level 3 Aisles 3/4.

Weird.

Yeah, they progressively open seats for sale for reasons only known to themselves.

[Axe Man]

GA just become available again.

[angelopetraglia]

Seriously. The ticket companies are horrendous.

TICKETING UPDATE:

All Public GA and Reserved Seats are now exhausted, Standing Room tickets are available until the allocation is exhausted. (Members still able to scan in).

Happy to forward 2 GA tics if anyone needs them.

So stupid how the ticket companies release tickets. Yesterday the only available tickets for the Collingwood game were behind the goals (level 3). Today they are on the wing, glad I waited. Jump on soon if you plan on going.

The ticket companies are rogues.

I got my ticket when first released.

[angelopetraglia]

I went to get tickets to the Collingwood game this morning. Didn't pull the trigger as I waiting for someone in the family to confirm if they wanted a ticket or not.

I can't get any tickets now. Apparently sold out. Only resale tickets available.

Why is a Collingwood home game at Marvel against the Bulldogs? The Pies got 67K to the MCG last week against the Crows. It is a disgrace.

[angelopetraglia]

I think this is the first time in my life I have not been able to get a ticket to a Bulldogs game!

[Axe Man]

Thank you Axe. Without your insight, I would have just assumed sold out and given up. Appreciated. Just a small little way this forum contributes in a postive way to the Bulldog community.
