On that subject (& good luck with that duncs)
How many of the Crowies on this site are going? & if not, why not?
Not saying you have to but just interested as to the supporters reasons for their decisions.

Went over in 98, decided on the Friday morning, left after work, not a Crows supporter but my mate is so I went along for the experience.
Had no ticket, no accommodation, almost no car (stole the missus).
Left Friday night, stayed at Bordertown, mate remembered a uni classmate who lived there & took the punt even though he hadn't seen him in 15 years, lucked in there. The guy dropped us in Flinders st, on the way in some girl offered us a ticket for a hunge, took that & got another from a scalper near the queue where they line up for the missing MCC members, thought that was where the scalpers would hang. He wanted $600 for 2 but we reasoned with him that when the gates on that queue opened he could be left with no takers so he sold us the one for $300.
Found out later that Bill Sanderson was handing out tickets at the parade.

Just saying, it's worth the punt to head over, even if you luck out the atmosphere around Melbourne is electric & you can watch it at the cas, Federation square or a number of big screen pubs.
Hey soccer you owe us 45million.

Grand Final Tickets

Got rid of mine for a bloke at work for $1200 each and since then I've found out I could easily get $2k each for them. Another Bombers supporter in Melbourne just let me know a Richmond fan just paid $6k for 2 tickets off him and there are people in offering $4k a ticket. Knew I should of held off a bit longer [emoji20]

It should be illegal to buy tickets and flog them off for a profit!
Oh hang on it is............

No wonder the game is getting out of reach for the average punter.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

I'm going. The grand final falls on my birthday so leading into round 3 I purchased a grand final package. Had no worries going to a neutral grand final but the crows making it just topped it off nicely. Package also includes grand final breakfast at the Crown 8:30-11-:30. My seats are in M13 row AA. The same flights I got back in may for 300 return and now 2k return.

Been to 7 GF's and always worth going to regardless of who's playing. Each time I had tickets in advance, and in 2007 managed to flog off* a spare for about $500 which covered the frog for a mate and myself during the game.

Have another mate who's been to every GF for the last 20 or so years .. Books his flights and Accom early and usually finds a ticket whilst over there.
