ALM Grand Final vs Victory 23/24

[adz]

Greed?

Yep and a bit of because they can

 

[Corsair]

I checked my ticket from last year - yep sad I have it still haha - $40 for a standing ticket. Cheapest ticket is $69 now and most of the stadium $109?? I get that our ground doesn't hold that many but they got 26,523 last year which isn't that many more that the 20,059 we hold. How do they justify these prices?

Supply and demand.

It’s like they just adjusted their expected take from a bigger stadium and divided it by 20k. This will price out a lot of families who can’t justify $100 each to share that memory with their kids.

Will still sell out

Probably. I’m not as sure as I was earlier today.

Was about to post the same thing. Basically most of the stadium is cat an and $109. Home grand final is great but these c**ts are taking the piss.

$119 in Cat A for full price adult 😳 with our 10% down to $107.10

Family tix are available. They're far too expensive tbh. $287 for the corner bays.

I do think they're taking the piss there.

Wanted a grand final, now we've gotta pay for it.

Will be a great night! COYY!

Pete will you be in the bay on the night?

As others have said it will still be a lot cheaper than travelling to CommBank or Allianz and buying slightly cheaper tickets. I stayed in Parramatta last year so I'll definitely be well in front.

I understand circumstances are different for everyone and it's tough for many but I'm paying whatever it is to be there in our first ever home GF. It is highly unlikely we are ever in a position again to be 1 win away from a treble. Do whatever it takes to witness history.

Preaching to the converted here obviously but the circumstances around this game are special.

I’m on a ride I can’t get off, been there for Premiers Plate, AFC Cup and now hopefully back to back Championships. I’ll be going and would’ve been going no matter where it was held. Still seems like a dream after the very long dark years. You have to take the opportunities while you can.

With respect to pricing, exxy but (without checking currently), it seems consistent with other codes' pinnacle events. Football has undervalued itself in the past.
This is special but justifying the outlay is an individual decision

 

[yellowcake]

Random fact: The first six A-League Grand Finals featured either us or Melb Victory but never together.
It's kind of 'finally!' because we've both been amongst the most prolific Grand Finalists (along with Sydney FC)

 

[Allreet?]

Yeah, this will be epic.

It is very expensive but probably way cheaper than other code GFs.

And we don't have to travel.

Add on the booking fee and it’s back up there. 😬

I looked up last years tickets too.. we paid $120 for a family ticket in category C. They were the bay next to active and still good seats. Equivalent this year would be $200 and the seating isn’t up there with Commbank.

What can you do…they have sold us a home GF, it’s just come at a hefty cost.

Still cheaper than an away trip 😂

So I paid $109 * 2 plus cost of travel to Parramatta and overnight accommodation. This year $107.10 * 2 plus no travel and accommodation costs. I was quite ill last year but wasn't going to miss the game (ended up in hospital for 10 days the following week after ignoring how I felt) so I saved on alcohol. If we have a home win I don't think I will be able to say the same thing.

 

[bikinigirl]

I don't know how many members we have but it seems like 10-20k should not be unrealistic. Maybe I'm 'dreamin' though. Look at Collingwood in the AFL they have 100k, most other AFL clubs would fill Gossy stadium a few times without letting people get 8 tickets per member.

. I think what people are not factoring in is that last year the stadiums were paying the APL ... this year - we are

Hard to believe we are playing a team that hasn't had a win in 90 minutes since early April.

No chickens, just an interesting anomaly.
