They don't have the same supply constraints. Our stadium is over subscribed, which is why we have a waitlist.

So lets take this out of the argument if you wont accept that position
Do you think its fair enough that Eagles accept Brisbane getting 19 mill extra in funding per year (more like 22.5) and Collingwood getting 13 mill extra in funding per year (more like 16.5 mill) ?
Do you think we should turn a blind eye to the situation because we have the supply and demand to make up for it?

Well people...

Alot of the "lets accept the price rises cos supply and demand" dont seem to have a opinion on this for some reason????

I was on the waitlist for years until the move to Optus but can't attend every home game so the five-game flexi option is fantastic and I'd never give it up. I've got two and the price has gone from $360 to $376 in total so while a bit annoying given the on field product, it's still relatively cheap per ticket.
I'm less annoyed with the price going up, (that's standard) than i am with the fact it's already randomly more expensive than all the other clubs in the first place.
Eagles game costs waaaaaaaaaaay more than going to any game in Melbourne, or any Cockburn game.
And i fail to see why.

herein lies the reason why the eagles didn't want too much more that 60k capacity at optus. eagles membership exclusivity. you don't have to have a membership and go see any game at the MCG because its never full. optus on the other hand...

Cockburn memberships are similar to ours....believe it or not.
Why be a member? Can you still get into see a game at the Doughnut without being a member? Or is it cattle class seats remaining? It's a great spectacle, but I don't really enjoy all the advertising, the hordes, noise and American style razz-a-matazz tbh. The action/players is too far away for my liking. I get that you can see all the off the ball action, but contrary to many posters here, I actually prefer the comfort of my lounge room, the close up TV camera work, the commentating and stats on TV...each to their own I guess.
not very difficult to go watch a game in their current state, however in the 2015-2019 pandemonium you'd basically have to know someone not going or get lucky on a resale if you weren't a member, would require a bit of internet trawling, e.g. can't just rock up no the day and get a ticket like in melbourne.
there are 5000 tickets to the 'away team' (depending on the supporter size of the team coming over you might be able to get one of them if you go online when the tickets come out). games like the 2018 prelim vs melbourne were sold out in minutes. Once the eagles are flying again it will be much more difficult
A lot of eagles members just pay their season ticket in full and then don't bother putting their tickets up for resale if they can't go and can't hand them off which is where alot of our 'sold out' 50k attendance are attributed to
but yeah ultimately its about access to the finals tickets when you are finals bound, they are the moments you as a supporter live for
You're right, the atmosphere and expectations at finals would be something else. That would be an experience indeed, let alone a GF.

Eagles wanted 80 from memory and Freo wanted it lower so we didn’t grow too big.

I th
If it was on tickets sold, we'd have almost full capacity every game due to maxed memberships - and that's clearly not the case.
I thought that game day attendance was calculated by numbers through the turnstiles, not tickets sold. Hence why the crowd number is only announced in Q3.

My son got seated membership for the first time in 2023 so I’ve generally been sorted for a ticket the last two seasons
Before then, I’d rarely had an issue getting a general sale ticket at Optus, which included tickets to our 2018 and 2019 finals games
I was also able to get tickets for games at Subi without too much trouble

yeah you're correct - but thats why we get get 'sellout' games with an attendance of 50k. all the tickets are sold, just 10k didn't bother going
That pisses me off. Like I know it's mostly decrepit old fossils that don't know how to use the interwebs but still.
I've returned my tickets any time I can't make it, and they've always been snapped up, even during covid, when playing Norf or Gold Coast etc.

Not surprised they're gonna keep upping membership prices. It's a two team town, what you gonna do? Join the DOCKERS?!
Open you wallets to us and watch us win three games a year you PEASANTS!

I pay from Sydney and get nothing more that a few emails. You support or you don't.
Coldplay tickets in Sydney this week start at $300 on week nights and $450 on the weekend. I rounded up a dollar but thats the cheapest. The AFL are in the entertainment business (self confessed) remember.

They could make it more flexible though.
Even if they are "always snapped up", you should be allowed to pull out and use them or give them to someone else to use if nobody buys your seat or you change your mind.
