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.

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

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.
Don't let zackah drive the helicopter.

I was hoping we would get the Tuggers for Gather Round again, that would have been an easy 4 points, instead we got GWS.
They are lucky that they are showing that game at 12.05pm instead of 12.05am when most people will be asleep.

Is it true the AFL want Geelong to open not just Gather Round but also flOpening Round? After the unmitigated flop this season I get why they want to bring out the big guns.
^ Gotta get the minnows out of the way before the weekend games 
But it was very brave of geeLOL to average almost 39k at their home games last season. Maybe next year you can challenge the Crom
