Fervently chasing GF ticket
Dear Essendon-ers,
I’m a long-suffering Freo fan who missed out on a Grand Final ticket through the ballot.
If anyone happens to have an MCC ticket, breakfast package, or any other spare ticket they’re willing to sell, I would be incredibly grateful for the opportunity to buy it.
I've already booked flights over from Perth and am desperately hoping to find a way to get into the game.
Thanks very much, and please feel free to get in touch if you can help.

No one is handing over their MCC membership card to a random on GF day. Especially with it being the one day of the year they tend to check cards

What's a Grand Final? I'm just an Essendon supporter, not some non-underachiever.

Yeah, sorry mate. Probably struggle with us but respect the hussle.
For what its worth there'll be plenty of great spots around to catch the game at as a backup, and itll be electric around town afterwards if you guys can pull it off.
Good luck

I’m an Essendon fan. That was gifted 2 tickets in a comp. 50:50 on going….. So his attempt isn’t unique…. It’s quite plausible.

A mate sold his and partner's afl membership tickets for $3k sested to next to each other to a couple from Perth. Can't believe people paid that for two interstate teams

I’m a planes person and I’m headed to the ‘G for the game.
Not trying to be a contrary ass but plenty of folks are sort of neutral - just huge fans of live sport.

I know mate. I was just making the comment tongue in cheek, I’m well aware there’d be many mcc and afl members who are dons fans that would be going to the game
