Hi all,

I'm going to the opener against Geelong at TD. I noticed it's a double-header with Hawks v Tiges on a few hours earlier. My brother's a Hawks fan and my brother-in-law is a tiger fan, so i wouldnt mind taking them to that game then staying on and forcing them to watch the Carlton game (which we all know will be a far superior match).

My question is whether anyone knows if it's a 2-for-1 deal - buy your ticket for the day and see both matches? The games are that close together that I can't see them emptying the stadium so quickly.

I couldnt find any info on the AFL website or the TD website. Does anyone know?

i ticket = both games

check out the talkingsocials section for more information.


tickets are available from ticketmaster7

From the AFL members email:

Whilst the idea itself is not too bad, surely they've chosen the wrong two games to trial it. You'd expect both mathes could draw 35,000+ each seeing how they are the first real opporunity for fans to see a game for the season.

You could understand if it was say Richmond v Freo in the first match, but to have 4 Victorian sides is not the smartest thing in my book.

Do they get 35,000+ crowds to matches in the first round of the pre-season cup? How many were there at last year's match against Essendon*? (I don't know as I wasn't there - the only match of the WC I missed.)

welcome to the site BUT you're kidding aren't you!

the preseason cup and the AFL would be stoked with a 35K total attendance i reckon.

last year they had the double header 27,000 turned up

they counted 10,000 during the swans dogs game, then a total of 27,000 for the siants hawks game latter in the evening.

of that 27,000 you'd expect atleast 5,000 of those attended the first game.

Carlton and Essendon* attracted just 23,000.

they would be lucky to get 45,000 people through the gates all day and i doubt all of them will be there at once. not that many people will be there for the first bounce at the first game and still there at the final siren of the second.

Great, just great I have a wedding to attend on that night! I mean really WHO organises a wedding when Carlton is playing? Anyone have one of those small portable TV's they can lend me?

With pies at $19.60 each and beers $22.70, I don't think they'll give a flying one if 12 people turn up

$3.30 middies in the sticks bar looks like great value now!

At least that's a real excuse kaxsta

I've got an Ian Moss concert on that I bought tickets to eons ago. Yes, Ian Moss. Telephone Booth. Highway. Tucker's Daughter.

Is he holding it in a telephone booth Molsey?

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

Most of his solo career is shite (songs above included), but I bought the Petrolhead album. Back to a more bluesy, hard rock feel and much better than the soft rock crap of his earlier solo career. A few tracks on that album written by Don Walker too, IIRC.

Its a bar not much bigger than a phone booth, BV. The extra room is for the Choirboys who are the back-up band!

Ah well, as they say, Boys will be Boys.

Anyone know if your membership gets you into the game for free?

It used to, but it didn't last year. Not sure if it has changed back to including one free pre-season game?

Only AFL members.

I may still be up for the double header...footy camp is the weekend before, and I may be travelling to Sydney for Topfest on the Sunday after the NAB game.

*ponders*

You'll love it Molsey...the Cazzes saw him about a month ago...just him and his guitar...magic

Now back to the footy...

AFL membership gets you in for free..not sure about club membership.

Club memberships don't get you in for free the membership department just told me. This is soooooooooooooooo wrong!!
