I was just on the AFL site looking up the cost of tickets to the upcoming game, and to my horror discovered that they are now charging $30 for general admission cheap seats. I rarely have the opportunity to go to a game as I work most weekends, but I'm pretty sure the last time I went it was $20 admission. When did the price hike hit? Is it going to cost the club that the stadium is chasing away some supporters by upping their prices? Seriously, I know it's only a $10 difference, but I simply can't afford it right now and so instead of going to the game I'll be listening on the radio. I have to wonder how many others are in the same boat.

I'm paying over $100 a game... Got a 16 game reserved seat ticket for over 500$. Can go to 2 home games to sit in my reserved seat. Can go to about 3-4 away games. Got NO CLASHES WITH AWAY INTERSTATE GAMES!!! COULD GO TO ALL OF THEM IF I WANTED TO AND HAD UNLIMITED FUNDS TO FLY INTERSTATE. But of course I have work clasehes with nearly every Melbourne home game. Was nearly about to go to my 1st Demons game in round 5... instead work changed my Sunday to Sat in round 5 to clash with the dees game. My 1st game therefore after paying more than $500 for 16 games is round 6. I am the most unluckiest person on earth. In fact, my negativity at this predicament reflects in all my posts tonight. I will basically miss the season this year. I will watch it all on video. NOT a substitute. I hate life. So whilst I know that the AFL have over-priced admission fees, please think of my >$100 admission fee per game.

There's only one thing that can fix this problem? A sicky... :)

General admission tickets are $21.70 (adult) at the MCG: http://www.mcg.org.au/Events/Tickets/Ticket%20Prices%20and%20On-sale%20Dates.aspx

You can pre-book Etihad Stadium GA tickets for $23.75 (adult), and I believe they're a little cheaper at the gate on the night.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that GA tickets cost $30, but you should be pleasantly surprised to find they don't.

Actually, earlier tonight I was reading one of your posts Pringle & thinking to myself "what a misery guts this bloke is". Now I understand... and would probably react the same way or maybe tease a small child.

Chin up pal... round 6 is against North and we are in with a show.

Well, that'll teach me to follow the links on the AFL site. Thanks for the clarification.

Given that I had a car payment due this week plus my sisters birthday and I get payed next week, ten dollars becomes a pretty big deal. Sadly my employer is one of the lowest paying in the industry, so I rarely have a huge amount left over in my budget. Saving is something I look forward to after my car is payed off.

Also, pies? Ick!

~$25 is pretty reasonable for threeish hours of entertainment. Compare that to going to the movies, for instance.

Provided you don't by any of either venue's outrageously priced food, the footy costs twice as much - and you generally don't come out of a movie wanting to crawl into a hole and die.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
