If you are a St Kilda, Collingwood, Bulldogs, or Geelong fan, and your team wins, be prepared to camp out for a ticket. Yes, it’s that time of the year again when scalpers do their best business.
People are desperate to see their team win and will do anything to get tickets.
It astounds me that just 25,000 tickets are given to the teams competing. Yet, 1,000 tickets go to teams not even close to a Premiership.
Where is the justice?
I understand that the AFL needs tickets for its corporate sponsors and broadcasters, as their money keeps the sport thriving.
However, I cannot tolerate the amount of tickets that go to teams not competing. Also, I can’t see why there needs to be 21,000 AFL members’ tickets.
To me, the AFL is trying to please everyone, and you can’t do that.
My solution is that each team in the Grand Final gets 30,000 tickets. Teams not competing get 600 (8400 all up); AFL members get 15,000; MCC Members 11,000; and Corporate sponsors, 6,000.
The rest go to a nominated charity of the two teams.
