The Battle for Granny Tickets

[Lucky Knickers]

That's subjective Jewels. When I was a teenager I loved sitting near the fence. Now I hate it, it's such a crap view of what is happening in the game. I was in the back row of the Southern Stand in 05. It was the best view in the ground IMO, because you could see what plays/players were available down field. I much prefer that view to seeing 36 players running behind/in front of each other from a seat near the fence.

I think Jewels point is specific to the grand final. I'd take anything I could get to be there on the day. If we are talking about my home and away seats, well I like the opposite to you actually but agree - you want to choose where you are going to enjoy your footy best. I used to sit in the Brewongle but moved down to ground level as I love the experience of being close. We are lucky we support a club where you have a choice right now. I know Eagles fans who would sit in the toilet if they could get a season ticket.

The allocation is definitely inequitable. The AFL should try to allocated at least a 50/50 split between competing clubs' members and the sponsors/corporate sector.

From memory I seem to recall about the same number of tix being allocated to clubs (25K???) over the last couple of years so at least they aren't carving that out - unless i am wrong.
