V Geelong still had 4 bays worth of GA for walkups.
And yeah Hawks game isn't sold out.
Still and impressive list nonetheless.

Lions vs Swans is now sold out.
Still a darn shame thet gabba management have gone for pulling out seating capacity in favour of a deckchair arrangement behind one set of goalposts in order to satisfy a corporate sponser.
Them's the breaks. They'll do whatever makes money, and sometimes that isn't just having the most people inside the ground. I'd also rather there be more seats, but this is the system we've chosen.
Completely agree. As well depriving a few extra supporters of the chance to attend, that deckchair arrangement looks sh!t. It's a football stadium, not a cruise ship.
i wonder if they have done the calc and worked out how much extra they could get from selling those seats (and also the rows behind the player benches if they remove that advertising screen) compared with what the sponsorship brings in. you'd hope so.

Sounds right.
I heard Ch7 last night on the sports bulletin claim it would be 90K which certainly raised eyebrows from my end.
Potential for the outage worldwide to impact club member show rate tonight. Members without physical cards might decide to not risk the trials and tribulations of getting into the ground. It’s likely to be chaos outside the ground, in the rain! Easy option for some to stay home I’d guess. Its a real mess it appears.
They’re saying to go to Gate 5 if you need a physical ticket printed off. Standing outside in a gigantic line in this abysmal weather? No thanks.
I’m not going, but if I’d been planning on it, I absolutely would’ve decided to stay home instead.
Very unfortunate timing, but these things can’t be helped. Surprised it hasn’t happened more often.
Anything under 40k would be a poor crowd. I don’t know the outages will have any impact, though.
Crowds in Melbourne have really hit a wall. Very poor tonight. If it rains tomorrow, the crowd at the MCG could be under 70k.
It appears to have had a marked impact. Club reserved seats much more vacant than you’d expect and these were the category impacted mainly.
Moreover, ticket sales slowed significantly mid week as the rain forecast intensified and the walk up reflects this.. Was tracking at about 40-41k pace early week. I said suggested
to expect likely 32-34k and I think that’s as high as it will be.

Have they hit a wall or were they just on the come down from massive high from the start of the season? Seems it was going to happen as we journey through winter once weather and team form begins to have an effect (think Richmond, Melbourne and to a lesser extent Collingwood at the G).
I think it is fair enough to say that quite a few people won’t have gone tonight due to the outages (eg: unable to access google wallet, ATM’s to get cash, digital tickets..etc), so Essendon can get a pass for drawing unders tonight.
Blaming the weather though is taking the Mickey. I’ve been around the city and inner suburbs all day (just got home) and there hasn’t been a drop of rain all day (just been windy)

That Ill feeling I get at this time of the year appeared again. Unfortunately a lot of bombers fans will feel the same & crowds could drop for next week & Freo!
