Western Bulldogs V Essendon - 1st Elimination Final 2021

[bornadog]

All of this seems set for a month long hub that allows teams to fly to WA for prelims/grand final without having to spend time in quarantine when they get there. Need to spend at least 14 days outside Vic to be allowed to enter WA without going through quarantine, so by heading to Tassie on Thursday, it means they can fly to WA on the Thursday of Week 3 of the finals if needed.

Yeah that is what is going to happen

[jeemak]

So if it's only members who got tickets that would mean the crowd is going to be a fifty fifty split, outside of corporate packages?

Reckon there's probably a lot of after market activity in the wings.

Reading this and then reading the quote from Bains below, not sure we have are in the right head space to handle the above?

Haven't all clubs experienced this?

It’s been a difficult season for our group with several games impacted by extended time on the road and multiple periods of hard isolation, including in the lead-up to last week’s Round 23 game. Our priority is to ensure our players face minimal disruption, so they can prepare for this final in the best way possible.

Was it an even distribution of members or just all members at once?

I doubt very much dogs had half so suggest it's a large Dons member contingent.

It was all members at once. I’ve been hearing a lot of Essendon members in Melb with either family or friends here were giving them their barcodes so they wouldn’t have to chance the general public sale. However, Essendon would certainly have more Tassie members than the dogs. I’m still expecting the crowd to be 80% Essendon supporters.

I get that it might be all members at once, but surely each team gets an allocation, then that gets exhausted or doesn't and a decision is made on how to split the remaining member ticket allocation that wasn't exhausted.

Additionally, I reckon there's likely to be identification checks at the gate:

It just gets worse and worse F me. Just gotta find a way to win and get the hell out of there.

10 tickets per membership is pretty much a free for all.

[bulldogtragic]

10 tickets per membership is pretty much a free for all.

So Dog God’s years of buying up 2,000 memberships are going to finally pay off. This week is starting to turn around for us now.

[jeemak]

10 tickets per membership is pretty much a free for all.

But is it any different than previous years/ finals, and does it mean that there's no set allocation per club? Again, this is just what I thought was my understanding, that each club gets an allocation that is equal and members are able to purchase up to ten barcodes/ tickets until that allocation is exhausted.

Is this not the case?

I think you're right, it was 8 for the 2019 elimination final v GWS.

I don't think they hold an equal amount per team though, they probably can't considering all Dons fans may buy 10 and all Dogs fans may buy 1 for eg... it's just first in best dressed during that period.

So I'm not right.......

And if I'm not, then that's completely stupid. Because if there's more members from one club than the other, but both have plenty to cover the allocation and all call at once then the club with the most members naturally gets more tickets. Which is silly.

[DOG GOD]

The members presale was 2pm to 4pm
General public 5pm.
I was surprised there was a 10 ticket allocation with only 10,000 capped crowd.
