Would you pay $1300.00 plus to see a saints GF

[mordi]

Don't forget to network, i.e. ask everyone you have ever met, anyone who owes a favour , etc etc .

In 1997 as a member I missed out, but our CEO's assistant knew I was after a ticket , she gave me (yes gave me for free) his two tickets he didnt want.

They were Collingwood Breakfast package tix, half fwd in Olympic Stand -pity we lost.

So, start calling in favours , ringing long lost relatives , make promises you cant keep, whatever it takes.

I'm about to pay a minimum of $1300.00 for a GF ticket. This is the cheapest you can get a ticket for without being some sort of member. They can go as high as 3k depending on the package you buy.

Just wondering how much other Saints supporters would be willing to pay that don’t have access to GF tickets through their membership entitlement.

I'd probably pay the extra $200 and go to the saints function- that way alteas you will be attending with Saints- and meeting saints at the function.

Lol just so everyone knows if we do make it and a member here is a social club member and can't go, I can do them the favour of taking their place.



Also I would pay the $1300 in a heart beat to see the saints in a grandfinal, I just can't help think if they don't make it it's 1300 down the drain.


I do know a couple of AFL members but they will probably attend if the saints make it (Hawthorn fans).

I just wished my MCC membership had come through.

I'm about to pay a minimum of $1300.00 for a GF ticket.

Why not? At least you will probably get a good seat. The football club/social club members will be on level one, in the pocket staring at the back of a point post.

In 1997 we got the very worst seats in the 'G.

When I delivered a couple of tickets to Saints members at the pub a couple who drank there informed me they'd had their tickets for two weeks. On the wing. They'd won them by buying two-minute-noodles. It was going to be the blokes first (and as far as I know the only) footy match.

If companies want to by advertising then give 'em signage - not GF tickets.

I was still at Moorabbin when they shut the football club member queue and it was a disgrace to see so many people (some who we'd seen at the ground for years) miss out.

Just dropped $1050 each for 2 GF tickets thru the Swans today.
Comes with a crappy Braekfast, with some b grade comic, and a washed up singer.
Cheapest package on the market

[asiu]

[StSteven]

I'd hate to be stuck with a $1000+ ticket if GF turns out to be Pies v Crows!!!!!!

I would wait...............

[bobmurray]

$200.00 would be my limit.......but

Having joined the Social Club in order to get my Reserved seat on level 2 at Etihad i may now reap the benefit...

A Grand Final ticket...if we make it.....

might just have been worth it in the end.....

[matrix]

YES

i was ready to do this last year
id banked on it costing me around 1200
f*** it
overtime for a month and its all paid
never again tho
social club 4 life now

[saint75]

There is NO way I would miss out on a GF if we made it. If I had to beg borrow and steal I would find the money. There are some things in this life you just don't wanna miss and the Saints in the Grand Final (and winning it) is one of them.

[Bernard Shakey]

plugger66, you must be on something illegal to suggest that 22,000 Saints members will be at the granny, when we make it.

11,500 Social club member qualify.

You are suggesting that 10,500 AFL and MCC full members are also St Kilda Footboll Club members.

Who's you dealer?

[Saint Bev]

At least you are guaranteed a ticket, but go to the Saints function at least, thats if there are any tickets left.

[HSVKing]

If it were a last resort, I would pay as much as was required.

Would not miss us playing a Grand Final EVER!

[jonesy]

If we won it,and I wasn't there it would be horrifying,worst nightmare come true. I honestly think it would be more shattering,than if I went and we lost.

If we make it I'll be exhausting all avenues up until 2.30 on the day...if I still don't have one,I'll hold up the ground staff with a shot gun til they let me in.

[bigcarl]

i'll pay top dollar for a ticket but not a cent until i know we're in it.

[aussierules0k]

[Ralphy]

ill be watching it from the comfort of home.... highly intoxicated, heading out the night we win with my footy guernsy on to celebrate

[pluggernaut]

living in perth, i've got the cash ready to book the flight over there for the grand final. given that it's going to cost me between $700 -$1000 just to get there, i'm not doing anything until i know we're in it.
the problem then is - how hard is it going to be to get a ticket to the GF ? ( am an interstate member, but i'm pretty sure that doesn't mean much when it comes to tickets)

[The Saintsational Man]

yep, upgraded my membership when we were 5-0.
quite glad i did now!

Gotta love the bandwagon.....

JK

If we play the Pies in the Granny, that means 11,500 Pies members will be there.....i think.....

Everyone hates the filth, so the MCG fits 100,000.....100,000-11,500 = 88,500 left over.....

That means on that day, we'll have 88,500 St Kilda supporters!!!

packages as quoted above will be one of three options

win a ticket another and the third is now illegal. or find a freind whose wife doesn't wish to go.

[ralphsmith]

$1300!!!

That's ridiculous.

..counting chickens..

Not sure..but has I have been a SC member for about 3 decades I have already paid a lot more that $1300....
