Just an observation after being in Adelaide this past weekend.
I believe the SANFL finals give you much better value.
For the VFL These are the prices(adult ticket):
Week 1 and Semi FInals-$12
Preliminary Finals-$!6
GRAND FINAL-$20
For the SANFL these are the prices(adult ticket):
Week 1,Semi Finals and Preliminary Finals-$9
GRAND FINAL-$22
(3 games each day)
What do people think about this?
$12 for the first two weeks I can cop, don't think thats too bad.
$16 yesterday for the one game, not even any curtain raiser was a dead set rip off. Prelim Finals are overpriced.
$20 for the Grand Final isn't too bad.
When you consider some suburban comps charge $15 for their Grand Finals the VFL is fairly good value.
In saying that I'd prefer it to be:
Week 1 and 2 - $10
Week 3 - $12
Grand Final $15
Just shave a few bucks off the entry each day.
It should also include a copy of the record, like the VAFA do during finals time.
Prices are ok, I think the Diamond Valley charge $12 for the grand-final. I suspect the crowd will be around 8,000, which isn't great but it's more the scheduling rather than the price.
For mine play the grand final the week after the AFL grand final.
You pay for a record at the VAFA on top of your entrance price.
Ok, it's changed.
They included a copy of the record in the admission price, last year.
Haven't been to many VAFA games this year, despite my original club Rupertswood playing in the association. D1 Section next year, but unfortunately another grand final loss.
No problem, just clearing it up.
Well up in the Ovens and Murray they are charging $14 admission to minor finals which includes the Critic. Last year charges were $12. Not sure what the admission will be for the GF but Suspect the same price $14 or $15.
This will include 3 footy and 3 netball grandfinals plus carnival atmosphere.
They are predicting between 15 and 20,000 to attend. But realistically 12 or 13,000 would be a better estimate as Lavington have a small following.
If Wangaratta had got in they would easily get about 20,000.
Crowds so far have been
EF 3.286
QF 3,032
1S 3,961
2S 4,427
PF 3,291 (wet Weather)
Sunday September 18
Woodville West Torrens vs. North Adelaide AAMI Stadium 12:15 pm
Central District vs. Port Adelaide Magpies AAMI Stadium 3:10 pm
Double header - Dont know what they are charging.
Why dont the VFL try one of these for the prelims on a Sunday as a lot of people like to go to local footy on a saturday.
Would have to be Optus or Whitten oval as dont think TEAC has the facilities to manage this.
As I said in my orginal post it is a $9 admission. It is actually a triple header as well as the above games there is the Under 19 2nd Semi Final Between North Adelaide and West Adelaide starting at 9:30am
That's a pretty good day out at the footy, good value as well.
$9 for 3 games, much better than anything here in Victoria.
