I can't see why some clubs can charge $35 for a finals game and others $60 (plus $6.60 booking fee). As I said in another post, this is what kept crowds away from Brisbane. I know this for a fact because the seat I purchased was in a season ticket holder section where the option was not taken to attend the finals games. There should be no change in prices between the regular season and post season as fans should be given equal opportunity to attend all the games. The fact that it is finals games will attract more people so they make the extra money that way. Who would doubt that if Adelaide had made playoffs and had a home game, we would get over 7000 if the ticket prices remained constant? We got close to these numbers in regular season games after Hodge arrived and the team was showing huge improvements. An interesting point is that in the after game interviews, Joey Wright thanked the fans for their support and commented on how pleased he was that the numbers had increased this past season over previous seasons. Where were they?
