That Carpark organization are absolute crimminals. I have just spent time at the Airport over the last 3 days. 

 

HIGHWAY ROBBERY is what they charge. 

AND the sole reason that a rail link has not been built

Sorry but i despise that Carpark!!!!

Back on my day the carpark was free and a kid would be there selling homemade lemonade for a penny!

We use to play outside and drank water from a hose if we got hot!

We knew it was time to go home when the sun went down!

Kids and carparks have no respect these days!

We get to park there, but then have to wait 60 minutes for transfer to the terminal.

Once the bus arrives, though, it's very smooth, quick and direct.

Unfortunately, however, you'll miss your plane.

It's perfect for MFC.

The DEVIL???

I suppose we are the Demons .... still .... it feels like it's one step removed from being sponsored by Collingwood.

[D4Life 2,475]

I’ve paid a heap to these guys, I feel like I’m getting something back?

Might be an idea that the powers that be at the MFC get onto Megellan global trust, they have pulled their sponsorship at Cricket Australia.

That carpark is literally highway robbery

They're a bunch of bustards.... good to get their money. 

Well done PJ and Co

years ago I was on the fringe of one of the consortia looking at buying the airport.

The carpark was the main revenue earner then and probably still is despite the increase in retail tenancies.

They stuffed the whole airport when they built the first carpark and the hotel. If they had moved it back say 50-100 metres they would not have many of the bottleneck problems they now have.

Fancy having a departures lane with a pedestrian crossing from the car park ... engineering at its best.

They are reporting that the long term was already full for Easter this morning.  Incredible!  Why they need to sponsor us is beyond me.  But thanks!

I Always book online in advance now.  Saved me around  $200 at xmas time due to the long term being full.

I find it very strange that organisations like this sponsor. What do they get out of it? 

Sydney Airport sponsor the GWS women's team. Why? If I'm going to Sydney I will go to the airport. There isn't any competition if I choose to fly.

they are competing with taxis , uber etc not to mention the many alternative parking services.

There is a fine balance between the price of parking and the point when people opt for an alternate. As I mentioned earlier the airport car park is a serious money making concern.

I think we will soon hear that the club has signed another sponsor who ties in well with the name of our B&F trophy!

Really.?

[Tony Tea 2,809]

Does that mean Melbourne gets a licence to print money?
