Previous games the general admin hasn’t been full. It’s been very good value, but can see why they’ve reduced its capacity for this game (though I hope it’s not a permanent change).Interesting how many games the AFL boasts are sell-outs only for heaps of empty seats around the stadiums. Someone is stuffing something up somewhere along the line. The clubs? Ticketmaster?
The other clear patches of empty seats are behind both cheer squads. The opposition seem to get the whole bay, but these tickets dont typically appear on Ticketmaster.
Member no shows will always Be an issue, but twilight Saturday is the perfect a lot for attending in my opinion (after most local sport finishes, not too late for kids, not too late or early for people travelling), so I’d argue member no show should be at its lowest this week. I don’t have a reserved seat but I wonder if they’re also seat re-sale particularly hard this week?
So as long as they’ve made an effort to fill those seats behind the cheer squads, I think the crowd should be big.
