Oh look! Must be an 'interstate' prelim happening!


Sydney to Melbourne is a 9hr drive so there’s a viable alternative to flying

Perth to Melbourne is 36hrs so not so viable

But yeah let’s complain about price gouging that happens every year to fans from outside Victoria

West Coast Eagles unlikely to talk pick No.2 for Melbourne Demons ruck Luke Jackson

September 13, 2022 by Its Psycho Dev

Similarly, Christian Petracca’s hairline fracture in his leg will repair with rest and will not require surgery for a pin to be inserted. He, too, will recover with rest.
Bayley Fritsch suffered a knee injury in the warm-up before the Sydney final but is also likely to avoid surgery.

The club’s 2022 season post-mortem will address the fact that what they saw in finals was what they had seen all year, and focus on the fade-outs late in games. They will look at the medical program, but do not believe there was a lack of fitness among the players.
They will re-examine their method of play and the mentality of players to become more conservative with the ball once a lead was established.
More immediately in the trade period, the Demons are hopeful that Jackson will influence negotiations with both WA clubs to help not only secure his best deal, but the best trade for Melbourne.
The Dockers’ first round pick – currently No.13 – and another pick would be offered in a deal. The Dockers could look at moving next year’s first round selection but with a raft of players looking at possible trades this year, there is the potential yet for other early draft picks to come into the club.
Key forward and ruck Rory Lobb has been linked with a move to the Western Bulldogs, key position player Griffin Logue with North Melbourne, and Blake Acres with a move to Carlton, while Liam Henry, Lloyd Meek, and Darcy Tucker could also be looking to move.

Having spent over a decade in the travel industry, I always hate these stories because they are just flat out wrong.

There is no ‘price gouge’ - the pricing offered for this particular weekend for this destination does not change - it is purely based on supply and demand and the existing pricing structure which is (obviously) based on the cheaper seats selling first through to the more expensive seats last.

More people travelling = less seats available.

Less seats = higher price.

This is the pricing model used by every airline, everywhere, forever.

This isn’t a bus where it’s one price for a fare and everyone pays the same - should it be? Well it’s a lovely thought but that would mean no ‘cheap’ fares either with no incentive to book and pay in advance (which basically keeps the entire airline industry ticking over).

These stories, whether it’s Perth-Melbourne or Melbourne-Sydney, are always framed as if the airlines are sitting there rubbing their hands together at the opportunity to take advantage of people travelling to this specific game that was only determined a few days ago. Come on. Use your brain.

I don't think anyone has a problem with that in theory. It's the ridiculous levels that he prices jump to when in high demand that is the issue.

I have no great love for the airlines but they are incredibly expensive operations to run, they completely rely on money continually coming in to cover the costs of offering the service they do (which is a pretty important one).

It’s good for everyone that there is money coming back into the airlines now, after 2 years of bare bones, but the pricing structure (to my knowledge) hasn’t changed, it’s always been the same.

Book a flight, at short notice, to a popular destination, at a peak time and you pay more.

If people haven’t worked that out and factored it into their planning to attend a sporting event (not exactly a life or death scenario), then hard luck.
 
They don't 'jump', it's that only the expensive seats are available.
I've booked seats on full planes at the last minute for work before and they are nothing like the prices that are being charged at the moment. So you may well be correct but the fact that those fare types are all that are available is a bit suspicious.

Anyway, let's move on.

Thats a long winded way of saying airlines price gouge.
 
Airline capacity in the short term is pretty fixed so without the expensive seats that get left on the shelf until a willing buyer comes along you'd probably just find that by the time you're looking around and grumbling about the cost of flights, in the alternative world they'd have sold out already. It's just capitalism folks, I don't make the rules.
