Certified Legendary Thread Sneaking in to the Grand Final............

[The King!]

Try reverse psychology

Stand there and tell them you don’t want to go in, don’t even try to make me come and sit near the fence with free food and drink all day

Next thing they will drag you in to sit and eat all day

It’s really all about confidence more than the wacky convoluted method that you end up going for, I feel I’d crumble under the first bit of pressure unfortunately.

I had an idea of going as one of those Chub security guys (might have to knick a uniform off a mate), and rocking up early to the staff entry with an empty secure box and the words ‘classified delivery’, but there’s always the 90% chance they’d think it’s a bomb, so perhaps not.

I think if you're going to do it it's all about confidence. I would also crumble

2 guys got into Mayweathers entourage that walked him to the ring for the McGregor (Might have been Pac) fight. Walked with them like they were supposed to be there, never got caught.

There's also that guy who got in Man United team photos. Plenty of stories of acting like you're important working. Sadly, I don't have the bottle to make it work

Some great ideas here

But I’m playing the long game. Nominating for the draft and hoping to get on a team list. Then after debuting and playing 300 games i get AFL life membership and a seat in the AFL members

The best way to see the Grand Final is from on the ground- become an umpire must be easier

That cheapest option at $1760 is now sold out. That's what I anticipated and posted on August 4.

Now most who will miss out in the ballot will be forking out 4k plus if Collingwood and Richmond play off. If they don't make it, well that's literally the price you play and risk you take. At least you're guaranteed a ticket though. If it is the Pies-Tiges, stress and time saved, and a s**t load of money.


Once in a life time.

Might be a bit easier if it's GIANTS v Eagles

 

[Power Raid]

Get a job with the police bomb and terrorism squad.

Then call in a hoax each year.

Anyone got any thoughts on getting an adult into the GF using a child ticket? Do they even check?

There are no child tickets for the GF, there's only adult and concession.
A light comes up on the turnstile to show what type of ticket it is, if the attendant is watching and it comes up concession then they may ask to see a concession/student card but most CGAF, especially if it's busy. Just borrow a concession card off someone if you are worried or go through a turnstile where they aren't paying attention. The worst thing that can happen is they send you to the ticket window to pay extra and upgrade it to adult.

This would actually work - the problem is that people aren't interested in collectivism.

Let's say that if you did this, 1 in 10 people is caught. People won't risk being that one who is caught, fined and maybe banned from the ground despite the 90% chance of personal success.

fu** it I’ll do it , find 8 more and let’s go

I reckon with a group of 10, at its absolute highest you probably have a 50/50 shot of not getting busted and even thats optimistic I reckon.

50 people+, that's another story... probably looking at a 60-80% chance of success. However, the rub is if caught huge fines, suspensions and possibly even bans. The more who partake, the more publicity it will garner equalling larger penalties to present a clear deterrent to other would-be Usain Bolts.

Awesome, thanks for the advice

Obviously everyone has a different price point, but to me $1760 is too much for a nosebleed seat when I don't even know if we have made the Granny yet.

We made the Granny the moment Hawkins was suspended.

Carry on.

Richmond won't score in the last quarter though...

This year I'm using the sneaking in method of having a missus who is very smart and successful and who hasn't yet woken up to the fact that she could do way better than me - and through her job we're getting September Club tickets.

Normally I'd feel bad about taking a seat off a real fan, but well, Collingwood and Richmond supporters love telling us North fans about how many members they have, so, to those members I say, enjoy being one of the however many billion of you there are ... watching in the pub.

If GWS make it all the Richmond fans will get in anyway, and Geelong aren't beating Richmond so whatevs.

You know we won’t need to.

 

[The Warlord]

You know we won’t need to.

But when will Junktime Jack get the five goals that on the scoresheet appear the same as the five Lynch kicked in the first half when it actually counted?

Yeah, it would not work.

The players would not go out on to the ground.

I like Jack, he’s OK.

Make sure its really busy at the turnstiles, look for a disinterested attendant(possibly me, i work there), look agitated and rushed whilst 'talking' on your phone when scanning in, then walk away super quick. Don't hesitate and simply be cool. I do it all the time at other venues.

Also good advice. Thanks.

Yeah, I didn't explain it very well. I didn't meant to say that if 10 people did it, only 1 is caught, what I meant is that if you had enough people - say, 100-150 people, then only 1 in 10 would be caught.

Yeah, it would not work.

Absolute rubbish. Why the **** would the players care about a couple of gate jumpers before the biggest game of their careers? The AFL isn't about to empty 100k people out of the ground to re-scan them back in again. That would take much, much longer than people would think.

I actually read your post as 100,000 people gate-jumping.

Yeah, that might be enough to cause the AFL to hold off the game!

 

[TheKITC]

I love this thread first and foremost...

Does anyone think that having a mate who has a paid up ticket inside the ground, slipping it to you through a gap/under a door/through the fence on level two attached to a weight and you catching it on the outside etc etc would work?

Once said ticket is acquired, you then strike up a conversation with an attendant, asking them where it's acceptable to smoke and thanking them cordially, come back 5 mins later to their area and when the ticket doesn't scan you back in, ask how that is possible? If push comes to shove, create such a scene about what you've had to go through to get this ticket, only to be denied entry back in for having a dart that they eventually yield and allow you in?

Conversely, find an unattended turnstyle and scan out and then subsequently in a possibility?

Obviously requires a mate having a ticket, but could be a nice two for one or simply taking advantage of a connnected/rich/die hard friend?

I've seen people do it with the Super Bowl wearing a go-pro/hidden cam on youtube.

The MCG couldn't be any harder.....if you really wanted to do it.
