I was there. A very lonely affair.
The AFL cannot and should not chop and change their ticket pricing as that would cause more problems than for any solutions.

I suspect Hawks-Swans will get a decent crowd, seems a lot of Swans - myself included - are coming down for the game as we genuinely think we can win this.
MCC looks pretty full, only the very top rows empty. Looks about 95,000 IMO, depending on standing room and that... 
90,161 at the 'G today - a record for an Elimination Final.
Great crowd today!

They already do. Have you seen the GF ticket prices?
How does reducing the price for a certain subset make the AFL more greedy?
There's greater demand for a game like Carlton vs Essendon, it's a superior product. People would come to terms with paying more in comparison, if not, I'm sure someone else will fill their seat.

Melbourne's a bastion where the big traditional clubs are concerned. It's why they rig the fixture. How many would turn out for a Victorian club v GC or GWS is another matter.

Each week has a different price but each game within the same week has the same price.

That is not how it would be perceived. The public would view it as the AFL price gouging fans by raising the price for popular games.

Negative, this year weeks 1 & 2 are the same price.

No. Perth finals are always more expensive. This year the difference is only $2-3, though.

Yes but Perth fans expect to be gouged, they don't complain as much as Melbourne fans.

How is it not greedy that they raise the price for certain games?
Its what they do in NFL, but they sell every game out. we don't even get close. Only 6 games (I'm guessing) a year?

Yeah and I think this week proved that one size doesn't fit all.
But they wouldn't be raising prices. Maintain the uniform price across the board, but if a game is obviously going to be less popular and not sell out, lower the prices on a certain section of seats that likely would've gone unsold (i.e. pretty much the whole of level 4, or say, half way up on level 4).
What's ridiculous about the Subiaco finals pricing is that they throw a blanket over 80% of the ground and call it all 'premium'.
It's comical to call anywhere in the 3 tier stand behind the goals premium, would have to be the worst places in the country to watch football..

That provides an incentive for people to wait in the hope that prices will be lowered due to inadequate demand.
I don't have a problem with changing different prices for different areas of the ground. Some seats are better than others so obviously you can justify different prices for ground seats vs upper tier but you cannot adjust the price based on ticket sales or expected ticket sales as it will provide undesirable incentives.

$115 for a day 1, gold ticket. Looks pretty decent to me. That's like 7 hours of entertainment vs 2 and 1/2.
