MCG Drops Prices


AzzKikA

Recommended Posts

the price of petrol went down also.. never thought I'd see the day!

And it's going back up.

Now I'm just waiting for these stupid inflated 45% over valued Melbourne housing market bubble to burst!

Loved it when it I sold my house for a record price in the area. In a years time i need it to drop again ;)

Ah, still a rip off fellas.... I don't eat this garbage anyway, but at my work we make 40% margin on hot 4n20's at $2.50 & I bet these guys get a better price than us. Hot chip buckets for only $4...... Oh thnk u soo much for ripping us stupid still. Chips cost FA!! Including oil, salt & the buckets it's still a 400+% markup.

How long were they charging $1 for beer trays?!? They cost em about 1/2 a cent per unit.

So when is red rooster announcing prices inside the g will match their prices outside the g?

Too little too late imo, I'll keep taking my own thnx, especially since I'm in the habit already.

Getting very sick of getting ripped left right & centre in this country, especially by the government.

some pubs/bars/clubs in the inner city you get charged $10 for a VB stubby that they probably purchase for $1

then you get a cab home for 15 minutes and it's upwards of $30

cost of living really is taking the pizz these days

I have been taking my own food to the footy for years. As a vegetarian, I do not have much choice but don't eat junk food anyway. The only exception for me is a hot jam donut.

I rarely buy the food too, but a least it is a step in the right direction, if you don't think any body makes money selling any food you are a moron, and this stadium does have high overheads compared to a little golf club or local footy club. Remember, the people working there are getting weekend rates. And alcohol is not included in the price drop.

Not only is a hot jam donut on top of the food pyramid but it also contains all the essential nutrients and minerals for a balanced, healthy diet.

I like how they pat themselves on the back when the real question that should be answered is why have they been ripping us fans off for so long? And as thevil1 has pointed out its still a bloody rip off. Stephen Gough is the master of spinning bull shlt.

Water down from $5 to $3. Big effing deal. How about installing a decent number of drinking fountains around the ground?

Time for the fans to start a campaign: BYO food and drinks to the G, teach the batsards a lesson.

I'm the same with alcohol, I don't drink it. The only exception is red wine and beer.

I don't gamble except on horses and football.

I bet you $20 you do.

Sadly I don't drink anymore. But the same amount is just fine.

I really don't see what the issue is here. If you think something is overpriced, don't buy it. It's not like not having a pie and a beer at the footy is a life and death situation.

The only way prices will come down is if they don't sell anything because everybody is bringing food and drink from home. Then you'll be sure to see a readjustment in pricing.

Have you watched Melbourne play footy over the last 8 years? I need a beer.

I will give credit where credit is due. The AFL has listened to the thoughts of the regular fans and actually tried to act on it. They recognised the terrible fixture at times last year and brought back the big Saturday day games at the G. They heard us all say how expensive it was to eat food at the games and they have worked on the stadiums to reduce prices.

And credit to the G as well, they haven't just dropped prices by a menial 50c or anything they have taken a fair chunk off. They will still make big profits on the mark up, but they have dropped a fair amount of annual income. Will be interesting to see how much Etihad follows suit.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
