SA Footy

The issue is not of great concern to me as I consume alcoholic refreshments at games on an irregular basis.

However when I do I am being raped at 4.50 a can (correct me if im wrong). For a game of suburban football I find it steep or at the very least a very steadily acending hill.

I think they could reduce the cost to 3-350 and significantly increase sales with the possibility of lowering coke bottle smuggling which would in turn increase liqour sales.

What are peoples views on the price we are charged for this socially acceptable drug?

Has anyone got a suggestion better?

Or are you happy paying pub prices for bottom end of the market beer out of an esky at Indian Palaces and like venues?

I hear you but i dont mind though as money goes towards the footy clubs.

You should buy food and drinks at Adelaide Oval during the footy season .Well to be truthfull I have taken drinks in when its not the finals but they check bags in the finals series,havent been stopped with subway yet !!

Usually take my own drinks in during the season.

at Adelaide/footy park it only seems when finals are played that they check bags and stop you from taking in drinks .Well to me anyway .
the only other time my bag was checked when we played Port at woodville

Is it really $4.50 for a can of beer? It has obviously been awhile since I had a beer at the footy

I rekon $4 is fair !!!

Just hide them under your scarfes, that's what I usually do, they don't look down that far when they check my bag.

Did not even bother with that ME the last time at Adelaide drapped my jacket over my arm and had cans in two of my jacket pockets did not even glance at my jacket
Seeing a diet coke was 3.50 or 3.60 highway robbery

I might not mind paying $4.50 for a tinny if they brought back Snout's Bar.

Sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine...

Those of you smuggling cans should keep it to yourself. We dont want people reading this and cracking down on jacket pockets.

I may have this wrong but I am under the impression only cops can search your person

but point taken

I don't take cans to Adelaide or AAMI, just plastic bottles.

Plastic 600ml bottle of blackcurrent and apple juice filled with ......................... port. Works a treat.

What a great idea!
Though I like drinking port out of port glasses.
But top wa to get it in.

TRY ANGLE PARK $4.90 for a beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and even then its WEST END

An absolute joke . I bought a can of Dr. Tims in a drive through for $2.40! It also varies at different grounds.

for the bourbon drinkers its easy,just fill up pop top bottles,(3 = i1 bottle)and buy a world cup bottles,(hard to get now) and recycle it.bring in 2 1.25 litre cokes in a cooler bag(legal) and bobs ur uncle
