    Vs Geelong round 23

    Any other Vic Members get the email reagrding this game? Am I reading it right? Its going to cost me an extra $50 to get a reserved seat? What the hell am I paying my membership for?

    I have been down to Kardinia park the last 3 years, twice in the Gary Ablett terrace and once in the Doug Wade stand, could have sworn the most my friends and have payed is $20-$25!!!

    I refuse to STAND in the G.A. area, it is an absolute @@@@hole, and if it rains.....well you have absolutely no chance of cover. Looks like no drive for me down the highway this year.

    To people in the swans office reading this......you MUST do better than this, this is a RIP OFF in my opinion. Its got to the stage where these games agaimst Geelong must be looked at being played at Etihad from now on.

    I didn't se the email. Probably cleaned out before I noticed it.

    That's pretty poor if it has doubled.
    It's bad enough to have to travel that far without paying that much for a seat, given we've already paid for game access.

    I've never been there, and if this is the case, I never will go.

    It's bad enough that Essendon force us to pay for a seat in advance.

    I was thinking of coming down for that game. What is this Essendon thing you speak of?

    Love going there personally, although it'd be nice to win down there. Just stand, great atmosphere.

    Essendon games at Etihad are fully ticketed Triple B so you can't just scan and walk in as you normally would.

    Not to mention you end up sitting with Essendon Supporters.

    I will be MIA for this game, so won't be a problem this year.

    I'm OK to get to Kardinia Park early and stand but am I reading this right? I have to pay to see the Bombers game despite being a Vic Gold member?

    What kind of pricing are we looking at for the Bombers game?

    I'm pretty sure you need to book a seat and with that a booking fee woud apply (obviously not the General Admission ticket price but the $4 or $5 booking fee).

    I was thinking $10-$15. But you could be right.
    It's been a few years since we have played them there.
