Just bought my ticket – I wasn't able to purchase a General Admission Grandstand Seat (which was one of the options) so I assume they are sold out.

I'll have to slum it on Ground Level – Never been to the ground so hoping for a good viewing experience.

Are you a member? If so how much did you have to pay fr the ticket (i went to buy my ticket but realised i didn't have my member's card on me)

$20 plus the fees. Standing room only. Now wondering where to get my 4 VB cans for personal grandstand circa 1970.

Weather for Saturday is max of 19.. possible light showers and medium (20-30klm) winds

Great weather for footy (seriously :) )

Clouds should obscure the western sun which should make it even better

Last time i went to The Western Oval was in 1988 when Terry Wallace had his jaw redecorated!

Then he sued Grinter/defendant a couple of years later according to "Open Mike".

Last time I went out there, we had a cheap win over Fitzroy in their dying days with Farmer kicking some freak goal on the boundary line at the Barkly St end.

Yep, member which I think gives you walk-up free entry but advised to pay for ticket to ensure entry if ground reaches capacity.

That's annoying, given the ticket is for GA not a reserved seat. A bit cheeky really. Last year at Cranbourne the same ticket was $5 IIRC

I guess the questions is will there be a sell out, which would mean 10, 000 people there - a bigger crows that go to most NRL and A league games

Yep I'm a member – but haven't paid up for this year yet so assumed I wouldn't get the option to 'upgrade' until I have paid.

Cost was $22.50 including fees. Can't wait!

Got a fishing comp on Saturday so I'll be sucking back cold cans out the back of Rottnest trying to land the winning fish.

Thank goodness for Foxtel IQ.

last time I played at the Western Oval was 1960. I didn't get a kick.

It would have been hard to get a kick being the 19th man

Bought GA standing room tickets yesterday. If the game was anywhere else but Footrscray I wouldn't have bothered, but given they are reigning premiers and playing in the midst of their supporter base, I think they'll get to the 10,000 capacity.

You are probably right but jeez it is a slug. Just went on to buy a GA and the total cost was 27.85 (20 for ticket, 5 for member ticket whatever that is and 2.95 handling - which drives me nuts - handling?).

 I'll probably buy it in the end but it's a fair wack for standing at a glorified practice match

Sounds like you're looking at 2 tickets? Just the membership upgrade should only cost you $5 and the 2.95 fee.

Thanks. I assumed that was the issue but went back a few times and tried again but to no avail. Perhaps you don't need to click on the one adult box? I'll try again

I think you have paid too much.I just bought mine (after multiple error messages - it took about 45 mins to complete!) and i was correct before. You don't click on any of the ticket options just put your barcarole in from your members card and click thorough to payment section. 7.95 in total. Initially i clicked on adult ticket, which seemed logical but baulked at the cost.

Thanks DeeSpencer. Saved me $20

Cost of technological incompetence - $15. :) Oh well. I'll look harder next time.

Not your fault at all. Incredibly stupid process - i mean of course you indicate you want an adult ticket! If you can bothered you should ask for a refund of the $20 they stung you. They can put a man on the moon but.....

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
