Took a while but we got there
Exciting to spend the night in a public toilet.... You think your going to meet George Michael or something.

Getting close to the big day. Anyone planning to sneak in this year?
Did anyone get in last year?

I'll be parachuting in ... no one will notice when there's 5 blokes in landing at the ground to deliver the match ball (or Premiership cup or whatever they do) instead of the scheduled 4 men.

I've snuck into heaps of sh*t before, notably Rod Laver Arena, music concert, night clubs...etc but I would say it would be quite difficult at the GF.
Just get tickets to the prelim on Sat night, take in heaps of food and a sleeping bag and sleep in the stadium for a week.

Make sure you wear a suit, have an ear bud headphone in your ear and as you walk towards to the turnstile, talk gibberish into the sleave of your suit and completely ignore the ticket inspector.
I was thinking that, but think about how bad you'd stink come GF day, and think about how you'd manage to hide from media, security, and everything for a good week!
On the upside though, taking in a footy would be good, having a kick on the G' by yourself would be nice!

How are you going to push through the immovable turnstile?

Just hurdle it. As long as you manage to continue the conversation with your sleeve while clearing the five foot high barrier the security staff probably wouldn't suspect anything out of the ordinary. If you affect the required aura of nonchalance, there shouldn't be any problems whatsoever.

the afl actually makes it easier to get a ticket now - in 2008 me my old man and brother drove over from adelaide without a ticket and waited outside that centre square garbage on punt road - the fat cats get that pissed they cant be bothered going in and we got three ticket for $300 and then found 50 bucks as we were running into the ground. gold

Far left of gate 1, gotta love working for Spotless.
just dress up as this man, the late Jacko
I made it into this years A-League Grand Final at Etihad Stadium after I lost my ticket out the front. I just squeezed into the same turnstile as my mate and tried not to look suspect. I also did before I worked at the MCG to get into members, simply waited until they were busiest and walked in quickly but confidently.
For this sort of thing it's all about timing and confidence, wait until they are busy and walk through. To avoid looking suss standing around waiting pretend to talk on the phone to a 'friend' and mention how you are waiting on him to arrive, sound exasperated at the fact you are waiting on him to give him his pass. Once two or more people arrive and the attendant is busy simply walk through whilst continuing the conversation and don't look back. The worst possible thing you can do is put yourself in a position where you have to justify why you should be allowed in with a pass, don't give them this opportunity.

There was a guy who snuck into a number of events at the MCG during the Commonwealth Games, including the Opening Ceremony, wearing a Fire Warden reflective vest.

If i wasnt a full AFL member, i would contemplate going to the prelim and sleeping in the G for a week. Anyone actually know if they leave the toilet and other lights on? LOL I like a night light.
Would be one adventurous week, hiding out from security and finding things to do. You would go insane i reckon!

Hire a wheelchair or buy a really cheap second hand one and roll up to the gate looking stressed-out (fake tears would help) and sit there for a few minutes while searching for you're non-exsistent GF ticket.
Tell the ticket man you have lost your ticket on the train while travelling down from some far flung location ( Swan Hill?) and wait for him to take mercy on your plight and let you in.
Ditch the chair once you make it through and get a spot in standing room or sit in your chair all day while friendly punters get beer and snacks for you.

All you need is one ticket

Do they have any young kids working at the turnstiles or entrances?
I reckon if you did what Thommo 42 recommended with the suit and earbud, you might be able to scare them into letting you in. Act like you need to get somewhere quickly and how much trouble you will be in if you're not there soon.
