Crowd Size and Gate Entry

cps · Post: # 891129Post **cps** » Sat 13 Mar 2010 2:17pm

I was wondering what the expected crowd size is for tonight?

Also, will all entry gates be working?

Just trying to figure out what time to get to the ground.

Guessing, around 35,000

Also, will all entry gates be working?

A lot of storm damage around Gates 1 & 2, so maybe not

Just trying to figure out what time to get to the ground.

Better to get there early as lots of walk-ups = long queues

I heard gates 1 and 3 open But would love confirmation
NOTHING on AFL.com.au or on Etihadstadium.com.au

although it appears Mr Collins says they had lots of "hale and ice" last weekend.

Buy online. Print off the ticket and then you don't have to worry about the queues.
We are aiming to get there about 6.30 but already have our tickets.

Gates open at 5pm.

Level 3 - General Admission
$29.75 Adult
$19.25 Concession
$6.30 Junior between 7 - 17 yrs
Junior under 7 Free
$59.50 Family 2 Adults and up to 4 Juniors
AFL Members are entitled to free admission into General Admission areas.

(The base adult admission price to H&A games is $20. NAB Challenge games (for the losers) are $10-15 with membership allowing entry. So tonight's match has a 50% premium.)

perfectionist · Sat 13 Mar 2010 3:06pm

Nope. I guess we'll find out when we roll up.

Dogs in their first GF in 40 years. I'd be disappointed if there weren't 45,000.

Yep. 7.10 start

saintspremiers · Sat 13 Mar 2010 4:34pm

yep, went to Jihad.com website and updated gate entry info, also nothing heard on the media (who never care as they get in for free at priority gates always!).

Typical Collo....the clown just waits for a fiasco and basically couldn't give a stuff.

Anyway, I'll be watching it in telly.

usually a 7.10 game would finish around 9.40, so im guessing 9.25-30

Cheers Dools. I dont think I could count how many Sat night games I've been to, yet I still have absolutely no idea what time they finish lol.

Gates 3 to 9 are open, including the one closest to the Bourke Street Bridge, but not those leading to Livewire and the restaurants. Crowd might get to 42,381.

Ok I cheated. But where were the Saints fans? I reckon 35,000 were Dogs fans. We might need Lara to do an advertisement.
