I don't see why the WA government can't allow some sort of FIFO arrangement for VIC based fans like the UK did for itallians in the euro 2020 final. Test before the game, negative, fly in shuttle to the ground fly out no contact with the public barring those in the stadium.

 

Because Mark McGowan.

Because macgowan wants to be reelected and he couldnt care about melbourne (non wa)supporters 

About 7 weeks ago I booked seat to Perth  thinking Gf was heading that way in case we were getting out of covid . About 4 weeks ago when donut day lasted 3 hours and we went from 1 to 6 and lockdown 666 came in , thought I was cooked . Sadly I will cancel in a few weeks

I don’t think I could seriously indulge myself in that. As my uncle who’s in poor health is living with my father, I can visit as a carer. Watching it with dad is more important than being there. Youngest brother wants to go, but won’t unless we make it for sure. Bit hard when you need to quarantine.

[Jibroni 4,141]

Luckily for me South Australians are now able to travel to WA without quarantining,

If we do make the GF the only issue would be potentially travelling with a plane full of Port Adelaide Supporters, basically hell on an aircraft.

The cost and inconvenience of doing that has ruled me out. How much did the hotel cost you for the quarantine period?

I had to quarantine in a hotel last year. All up $3600 for the fortnight. I did it in Adelaide but I’m guessing the cost wouldn’t vary much.

Victorians can’t even quarantine in WA for 14 days unless they have a special exemption.

Well there you go

[Redbeard 497]

I'm just hoping I'll be able to watch it with my mate across the road here in Melbourne. I really don't want to be watching the game at home with no other Dees supporters.

But if I can give my guaranteed ticked to a mate in Perth so they get to go it'll make me that little bit happier about me not being able to

[alexfish 6]

Didn’t get the guarantee this year so fingers crossed there is a members ballot?

[Demon Disciple 11,035]

Those of us stuck in Victoria need to accept that we won’t be able to attend the GF (should we earn our place).

A vast majority of GF teams supporters don’t get to go, especially interstate teams, so I’m not too upset. Can’t change what you can’t control. If we’re in it, I’ll happily be cheering on watching the TV. I’d happily sacrifice attending a GF, if it meant the Dees got to participate and dare i hope, win a GF.

There’s no “I” in team.

And if anything went wrong with the pilot you’d clearly have the responsibility of landing that big bird

But there is a “me” and me paid for a guaranteed ticket and me wants to go

 

Should we get in

Bit superstitious, so had to add in the last line

I think WA will open the border to QLD once they go 28 days without community transmission.

I think you’re every chance.

At the moment you can at the very least do 14 days quarantine. VICs won’t even be afforded that luxury unless they have a special reason to enter the state.

Thanks BBP will further check tomorrow !

I have booked a hotel in Perth to quarantine. Not sure of logistics beyond this, but as a MFC/MCC Premium Member I get a guaranteed GF Ticket. I  intend to use it.....  even if I am stuck in a hotel for one week or even two.  Who is joining me?

Victorians are banned from WA.

Unless “me” is in WA, it ain’t gonna happen Wiz. You can thank McGowan, and more broadly COVID for that.

McGowan was just re-elected with a Massive Majority reflecting WA's approval of his approach.

Once vaccination gets to 70% and then 80% McGowan will be faced with some challenging choices.

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,636]

I am a chance to go if we make it, I will be driving for about 2.5 days, arriving at ground, watching game and driving 2.5 days back, starting the evening after the game.

 

if I am to commit such madness, I will be hoping for some help getting a ticket here.

Why would they do this when they will easily sell out the game without any interstate attendees?

[Dr. Gonzo 22,522]

To answer the question in the OP I'm pretty sure Pert already answered this (or a members email) saying the GF guarantee tickets are strictly non-transferable meaning you cannot buy one and pass it on. Of course there are probably ways around this but I assume the main reason is to stop scalping (what's to stop members buying a ticket and then selling it at an exorbitant price and then claiming they gave it to a "friend"?)

The plus side is if you are a member and can attend in WA you should be able to get a ticket as the majority of MFC members would live in Melbourne and so we would be unlikely to fill the quota of MFC member allotments for the GF in Perth.

To be honest I doubt that that will change his mind, fortress WA.

Anyway, if we can't get to the GF in Perth this year, we can watch the next two at the G

As a WA member I'm just hoping I'll get a look in at tickets to the Prelim and beyond!

One would assume afl will want ground filled with  as many club supporters of competing clubs  , mcg normally is 20k per club for normal membership . One would assume wa members of clubs would get an offer before general public . But who knows and good luck 

[Flower Magic 701]

No Victorian resident will be allowed into WA for the GF unless the state's status changes, and that ain't gonna happen 😪.
