I wouldn't suggest it nowadays, but I went to the 1966 Collingwood V St.Kilda GF without a ticket

A mate and I scaled the fence/wall (IIRC between the old Northen stand and the old outer where it was lower) at about 3am

Hid in the toilets of the outer until the U19's game started

Had a great time, but was feeling pretty weary by the time the main event started

Oh yeah, I have one lying around.

...

Sorry, I just liked the idea of a 'spare' I'd be keen on giving to someone I don't know.

I think your nephew's best bet is to stump up for one of the corporate packages available.


fork out $1350 for a package........

(that there are packages on sale for this much is disgraceful, when a lot of club members are missing out)

Still possible to sneak in, but no fence scaling involved. I snuck in last year.

thanks for advice i see lots on there wanting to buy its a way for scalpers to get around i guess.

You've offered plenty of advice ! The above have offered ebay and corporate packages which is a darn sight more than you have offered.

Tez, all the best in the endeavours. I like DC's story, but I wouldn't recommend it :P:lol: . Re: e-bay, I had a look many on there are just requesting tickets and leaving their phone number. Haven't seen any for sale. So your mate has stiff competition. If he is willing to pay $1200+ the corporate package might well be the last resort. He should contact any of the AFL clubs. Money talks when it comes to a GF seat.

good to see atleast 1 person has some advice not like the pigs above

At least one? You've got to be kidding.

Two of the three posters before Benno had already given advice on how to get tickets!

I suggested a corporate package, and 'Grimes to Watts' suggested ebay:

Before you attack others you might want to actually read the posts you're commenting on.

Geelong are the only melb based club with corporate packages left i think, the MFC has sold out.

Ebay is an option however it is well top easy to print fake tickets.

Sneaking in sound the best option. Its sounds like fun, and would def be a story to tell the grand kids!!!!

To sneak in I would suggest:

1. Doing an MCG tour on Friday afternoon

2. Breaking away from the crowd

3. Hiding in a place like the toilets or even better - In the grand stands

4. stay low at all times, avoid leaving that spot, and wait until people start arriving (which will be early) before getting up and moving about.

That sounds so easy I may do it myself!!!!! ;)

You really think it's that easy..?

I don't think that's the way you'd do it.

Gutsy-made up of the right stuff. Good on ya pal.

Thanks JCB, but wasn't so gutsy in those days, Biggest risk was only getting a kick up the arze from a copper

Wasn't any terrorists in those days so security was pretty slack, no bomb squads or anything

Most difficult task was balancing on two beer cans for three hours so I could see the game in a packed standing room outer and ovoiding vomiting filth fans (and other best not mentioned activities). I liked the atmosphere in standing room in those days but I prefer my reserved seat these days.

You have certainly made me laugh- good on ya pal.That is something I would have done in my early days too.

Fair call, but if the Demons are ever in a GF and I couldnt get a ticket, the thought would cross my mind...!

Tell him to take a 100m run up and go bursting through where they hand out passouts and keep running, They won't leave there post to chase one person, I've seen it done. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

HI Tez

I feel for you I was in the same situation,needed some for my son and hubby,Don't get discouraged I picked up a centre square ticket for hubby for $750 yesterday and yes,it's real.I was also offered a ticket for $750,I know its a lot but it is cheaper than a corporate ticket.You need to get on www.bigfooty.com.au they are selling tickets on there.Ebay is a no go everyone has been kicked off.Good luck,hope you find something.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
