$20 for a praccy match???

Post: # 1040294Post saintspremiers »

Does anyone else think it is over the odds to charge almost the same to go to a praccy match (ie nab crap on Friday night) as a real H&A match??

I reckon it should be max. $15 entry.

Thoughts?

You would save $5

5 bucks ... unless you have 15 people in your family is there really mich difference?

Think of yourself lucky you can see a game for 20 bucks

If i want to see a game it costs me $300 for plane plus accomodation, easily makes it $500

I would love it if i were to pay $20... sorry no support from me on this!!

Paid $35 for a level 2 seat on the wing. It would be interesting to know who gets the money from the gate receipts. $20 bucks is ok, it cost you more than that to go to the movies these days.

Oh for the good old days when the early rounds were free (with a club membership) then there was a significant discount till the final.

I think that stopped in the early 90s?


I think it is a cheek to make members pay more to see a three-some practise match with stupid contrived rules than we pay for a full H&A game.
I'll save my $ and watch it on TV (till the final).

I went to the movies last night for (I think) $14.

Try stooging them into believing that you're under 18, then you'll get in for nothing. Thats what I'll be doing. I reckon I'll pass for 17 :wink: !!


NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

$20 is good for 3 games. The problem is that normal home and away games are to cheap. Maybe if we put them up $20 would sound great value.

There is a matter of $450 and at least a 5 year waiting list to get into the GF.

The waiting list is much larger these days...8-10 year wait

Yep, they have just issued all Silver members with their position in the line. It's hard to make a guess, but it looks like 8 years is the minimum wait.

Do you pay much less per year as a Silver member and what are the disadvantages apart from the GF?
