In 2016 I went to the Grand Final. My team was playing for the first time in the GF since I’d been alive but I wasn’t a member, basically impossible for general public to get a ticket. I saw a ticket advertised for sale at like 1pm on the day on a fan group on Facebook. It was about 20% more than the cost price. In hindsight, most people probably thought it was a fake but it was a physical ticket and paying in person outside the MCG, I thought that seemed safe. Got to my seat around midway through the first quarter, so missed all the pre-game stuff. But then my team won and it was just such an incredible atmosphere and great day. I won’t forget it.
that sounds awesome
