To help get a bumper crowd into Marvel to watch the Pies slaughter the Eagles (by 66 and 63 points the last 2 times), $16 Adult, $11 Concession and free Kids General Admission (GA) tickets (14 and under) are being offered to this Saturday night’s game. No promo code required and no booking fee either. GO PIES!
That is what superrabit77 is for
Love the high seas but someone like my nonna ain't got the time for that and has just not bothered watching her team play anymore
You’re right. Locking up AFL behind paywalls cuts off older fans and makes it harder to onboard new ones. Short term profits over the longer term health of the game imo.
my nonna… has just not bothered watching her team play anymore
Maybe she's better off that way, not a great year for Carlton..
not being able to watch free football on the weekends on TV in Victoria is kinda ridiculous.
Sunday is still free… (in addition to Thursday and Friday)
When have you ever been able to watch every game free on TV ???
2001
Only during the bye…
They claim to have 110,000 members yet have to almost give away tickets to fill a 50,000 seat stadium
Edward Joseph McGuire AM , owns 60,000 memberships.
Only when it’s against a team with little interest and no inter state supporters. Don’t support or like the Pies, but out of every team, they have the least issues filling a stadium.
Bogans of a feather, flock together.
Some clubs count pet memberships.
Collingwood doesn’t
Disagree. I've seen heaps of animals in the cheer squad.
Pet memberships haven't been counted for a long time for any club. They now have to be a minimum games amount or pricing to be counted as a member now. Crows used to use email subscribers in the member count if i remember. So the afl really started cracking down on that stuff
might wanna rethink that statement
give away tickets to fill a 50,000 seat stadium
It's at Marvel, not the MCG…
yeah exactly. Marvel has 50,000 seats, MCG has 100,000 seats
People don't attend a game just because of the number of seats…
Lots of people choose to watch it on TV rather than watch the game at Marvel.
Marvel has no atmosphere.
VIC bail reform laws have made it tougher for Pies supporters to get to games.
VIC bail reform laws
Jacinta has done stuff all for bail reform.
Sheed from the boundary!
Eagles beat the Pies at the G in 2023 when they finished last.
Pies will have a sook about having to travel down the road to the game.
Eagles by 42 points
Eagles beat pies at the G in 2022, not 2023.
This won't age well
Cope
Eagles by 42 points
They will struggle to kick 42 points.
@jv see you there mate
good old Collingwood forever†
†check full terms and conditions for full definition of forever
should be a great game….
kangaroos beat Carlton last week, who knows what other miracles we are in for this season
that was hardly a miracle tho
who knows what other miracles we are in for this season
Cripps to win the brownlow.
should have gone to Daicos
WCE main game will be wiping out as many of Collingwoods midfield as possible. I bet the AFL aren't doing random drug tests at this game.
I doubt the pies will play all their good players. This game should be free entry.
GA tickets are 41% off because its Brodie Mihoceks 150th game. Plus againts a side thats playing badly and at a stadium that people don't like going to (most the excuses i see. I don't understand)
I don't understand
Marvel lacks atmosphere…
Have never enjoyed watching games there.
The only time i didn't enjoy my time there was funnily enough a west coast game. I had to upgrade to a reserve seat. And somehow i ended up in the middle of a bunch of eagle fans/members. No idea why ticketmaster would do that to me when i was clearly a collingwood member. We lost that game also. So wasnt very pleasant.
Other then that. I'd prefer games against opposition that don't draw much of a crowd there over the G as otherwise it feels too empty. I have no idea why when its our home game against the suns its always played at the G. Docklands would be better
a bunch of eagle fans/members. No idea why ticketmaster would do that to me when i was clearly a collingwood member.
ticketmaster employee was clearly a Carlton supporter.
this really shouldnt be a Saturday night game it should be a sun 3:30 match….or Saturday 1:10
Yeah. If this was a day game. I would've went to it. I just don't like going to night games. So instead. I'll stay home. Watch in 4K with a pizza
Gillon needs to be sacked immediately for selling off Saturday free to air games whilst trying to talk up Thursday games. Oh that’s right it’s a dictatorship where he can’t be sacked.
He is no longer in charge
Sorry I meant Dillon
I think Gillon was still in charge when this deal was signed. He is now doing his best to destroy the TAB too.
Dillon should be sacked for a deal his predecessor signed? How's that logic?
The whole broadcast claims about fairness and how many free games is a joke. The best games are way too often often ending up on paid subs. No accident. It certainly isn't the national game, when location and wealth determines access.
Does anyone go as an individual spectator? I am AFL illiterate, with no friends that are interested, but it might be fun?
Plenty.Usually no one will hassle you but this is a collywobbles game so..yeah.. lol
Do it
Take a radio or listen to the SEN app for synced commentary.
There is always a delay with the digital apps.
Have you tried it? I haven't.
SEN Stadium delivers groundbreaking zero-delay latency live sport commentary over WiFi, 5G, and 4G connections, anywhere, anytime.
Have you tried it? I haven't.
No, I gave up…
Can't find a descent AM radio to listen live. Reception is crap at the MCG.
I doubt very much there will be zero latency on the digital stream…
Sony SRF-49 FM/AM Walkman Radio $49 + delivery
Might be worth a go, I've got a similar model and it works great.
@sween64: LOL https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/14180/122468/radio.jpg
The Dick Smith/Sangean one was better but no longer available.
@sween64: Man.. remember 10-15 years ago we could plug our regular headphones into the jack on our phones and that would function as an antenna for the FM radio app… Now we have to buy separate little walkmans again to get an audio stream at massive events because the towers can't keep up with all the people.. looking at you F1
Don't even get me started on taking away our little IR blasters in phones
@sween64: That is the exact same model of radio I still take to matches to this day. Hasn't skipped a beat, and you can flick it into mono to reduce the static.
BOOOOO
Collingwood loses. Australia wins. Pray for the colliwobbles this weekend.
At least 5-6 concussion-contusion moments and bleeding!
Last time Toby Green (GWS) got a head knock his IQ status gained 18 points.
Collingwood fans are really up and about at the moment. Cant wait for it all to come crashing down.
Yet i see more opposition fans talking shit about collingwood and most collingwood fans just ignoring the haters. Which is just pissing them off more
Yeah, i dont get the fuss why this is all about, i picked pies as my first place of work was Collingwood. only if I knew what I was signing up for… GO PIES
Collingwood is the number two chucking team in the AFL, after Geelong.
You can't blame the umpires for teams & players who actively choose to throw.Cheating is cheating. (Note how most players who throw these days, when caught out, don't even feign surprise)
I've watched a lot of games this year and the only conclusion I can draw about CWood games is that the umpires 'don't hate them.And I'm pretty sure the AFL does them a lot of favours too. The AFL needs to shift their focus to protecting the game itself, not the income stream alone. (Big Vic clubs)
Footy generally The way the rules are constantly tweaked is 'uglifying' the game. Leave the bloody rules alone!
Collingwood is the number two chucking team in the AFL
You obviously did not watch St.Kilda play last weekend.
Cant wait for it all to come crashing down.
That's what you said in 2023.
To help get a bumper crowd into Marvel to watch the Pies slaughter the Eagles (by 66 and 63 points the last 2 times), $16 Adult, $11 Concession and free Kids
Is that per kg fresh slaughter meat ? I guess kids will sell out quick. Do we have to bring our own bag or is it supplied ?
BYO machete
Note the comments most suffering from CDS - Collingwood Derangement Syndrome!
please we want less whitnesses to Collingwook ripping us apart…..tough times being a West Coast supporter…
Maybe CWood will tank (no reason not to) and the boys will hit Sportsbet, on the WCE to win?
No @jv comments yet, he’s probably asleep.
West Coast put up a reasonable fight for awhile last time. But yeah why freeze your arse off, buy a $8? sausage roll that's seen a few games& $12 Beer. Find a generous mate that will share a foxtel connections with you. Not the peoples footy anymore on Shaturday.
Not the peoples footy anymore on Shaturday.
It's $1 for the first month…
i thought collingwood was big?
![[VIC] $16 GA Adult Ticket to Collingwood vs West Coast (Conc $11, Kids $0) - Marvel Stadium, Sat June 28 7:35pm @ Ticketmaster](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/15/912215.jpg?h=755b7b5d)
Honestly smart move for any team to subsidise some tickets to get new fans attention. Every team should try this out because not being able to watch free football on the weekends on TV in Victoria is kinda ridiculous.
