Think Tank 2025 Gather Round - Hotels go kaching!!!

[FISTO]

Might as well call it Souf Straya round, no one else gets a look in.

 

[Rabish Binney]

So yesterday the AFL announced Gather aRound would be 10th to 13th of April.

Looking at hotel prices, they have magically more than doubled overnight.

Adelaide, you can GAGF.

Of course this never ever happens come finals time when interstate sides have to book flights and accommodation to Melbourne does it?

What a hypocrite.

lol 5 spoons this century, go blooz!

Sure beats 7 bottom 4 finishes and 2 spoons

"Thank god for North"

- every Richmond fan

They call it 'Magic round' because Souf Austraya gets the lights on for the whole weekend - half of the citizens think it's literal magic.

Crom don't really need to worry about that anyway

Wow, what an extreme reply, are you ok?

 

[JoseMourinho]

Chief Please double my wage so I can afford to go to Radelaide

Wouldn't that be halving your wage?

What a hypocrite.

David Koch is the new Minister for Tourism for SA. Are you telling me you support Kochie and the Port Villian's plans for Souf Australia fleecing footy fans nationwide, even though Port can't even pay their own bills and still owe millions to the SANFL and AFL ???? #concerning

Thankfully for Adelaide fans this doesn't happen often

I think Kochie is behind these prices. He doesnt want to have to pick up and put down the tarps for the one week of Gather Rd.

Please show me where I said I supported the price gouging? I said nothing of the sort.

Do you support the Melbourne hotels putting up their prices exorbitantly during finals time & fleecing those from interstate that come to Melbourne see their club play?

This gouging is nothing new - the OP basically stated however that it only happens with Gather round which is patently not true & thus is a hypocritical view.

It happens every finals time and it affects every footy supporter (from whichever state they are from) if they have to travel interstate to watch their side in a final.

Doesn't change the fact that gouging goes on at finals time, irrespective of which state those finals are played at.

To suggest it just happens with the Gather round is not correct.

Of course not, it's a disgrace (although I don't mind snobby Tennis fans getting gouged when the Aus Open happens, most of them are snotty boomers who could easily afford it)

But this is the Bay, and as such shouldn't be taken so seriously

Got a private room in YHA. It was only reasonable option because I left it with a week to go.

Will be staying in Adelaide Hills next time since GWS game is likely to be at Mount Barker.

Why bother with a hotel?
Just get Chief to lend you the Big Footy helicopter.

I'm willing to contribute a massive 75% of my wage to help make it happen in what some would say is a selfless and generous act of kindness.

You can thank me with beer.

Don't let zackah drive the helicopter.
