Look like it's Fri night at the SCG

[SimonH]

I'm not anti-Homebush (it's a pretty good venue for AFL), but the atmosphere at the SCG is going to be freakin' unbelievable.

No-one could ever forget where the 96 prelim final was played- and even the 98 QF v Adelaide (apparently the last final played there) had a monster atmosphere.

This decision sucks because it means that I wont be able to sit with a number of friends who arent members but who have been to quite a few games with me this year.

is this right?

http://afl.com.au/default.asp?pg=aflfocus&spg=ticketing

Tickets will be sold on a one ticket per membership/season ticket basis. There will be a maximum of eight (8) tickets per transaction.

so as a member with one (1) ticket for my one (1) membership i can get one (1) ticket and one (1) ticket only? my partner (whom i've groomed to being interested in a membership next year), my father who lives in the hunter valley and whose father played for geelong, my partner's father and our friends can all sit elsewhere.

perhaps i have misunderstood. the chances are that the nice folks at fish records in newtown won't be aware of any restrictions either (last year they thought the queue was for joe cocker or something) and all will be sweet.

however, if this does turn out to be the case i will not be renewing my membership next year as it has turned out to be almost useless to me when things have got interesting.

i mean, which is the better way to attract future members: current members recruiting people who are almost on the cusp of being keen for big events or fashion-driven bandwagoneers after a quick thrill of vicarious participation.

yes i've been drinking.

OK, so you can buy 4+ tickets and so can every member, and then we'll fill the SCG with 80 000+. Why should all your extras get preference over paid up members?

i think it comes down to the luck of the draw. get in line or on the phone and hope for the best like i did.

i'm not asking for preferential treatment.
