Bad weather has stopped still think we will get 70,000! My prediction is 72,000 with 70,000 Collingwood fans. Go pies

Its still fricking freezing though, will keep the neutrals away

Don’t want any neautrals there. If you’re not screaming your lungs out at the umpires and GWS then you shouldn’t be in the stadium.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Hasn't rained for last 15m. Hopefully dry start to game.

Yeah, but not me.

72,504 I was correct

 

[gopies1981]

Well done pie fans. 72,000 of the magpie army in full voice. Let’s out number those bandwagon jumpers

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

72,504 was the final crowd attendance. The MCC predicted 68K, so it was a pretty good figure overall in spite of the opponent and weather conditions.

It was the 8th largest crowd between a Victorian team and an interstate team in the finals. It was the 4th largest crowd between a Victorian team and an interstate team in a semi final. It was the largest crowd this century between a Victorian team and an interstate team in a semi final.

[Adz]

I really wish competing AFL club members got priority over everyone else in situations like this.

 

[neilk]

I’ll do the same as last week and have a look at 9am Monday morning and if I can get good seats I’ll wear the cost. If not then I’ll have a go at the AFL seats. Weather is looking excellent for next Friday.

 

[elpickle]

Do we register for grand final ballot on Thursday 9am? Also is it only one ticket per membership?

.... right on, club members are #1 & get short shifted for people who chose not to join their club (but deny deny it), join the AFL not their club or join the cricket club to go to the footy.
Interesting to see if access to the MCC reserve is delivered as per the sleazy deal that secured the GF venue extension to the cricket club.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

The club sent me the information via postal mail about Grand Final registration last Friday (September 7).

 

[Kadog]

Is the Prelim Final a one ticket per membership or guest as well?

 

[JohnChainz]

Is the Prelim Final a one ticket per membership or guest as well?

Was wondering the same

 

[Adz]

No guest passes

 

[ArielZ]

What are my chances of purchasing 5 tickets at once tomorrow using 5 Collingwood memberships?

Better off splitting them 2 and 3?
Gonna be a nervous Monday morning...
