Tickets to historic Geelong v Collingwood game at Optus Stadium on sale today – WAtoday
The historic Geelong versus Collingwood match at Optus Stadium on Thursday night is the first major event to take place at the venue since Queen and Adam Lambert’s Rhapsody Tour in late February.
Under WAs social distancing restrictions, attendance at the stadium is capped at 50 per cent, or 30,000 people.
Optus Stadium chief executive Mike McKenna said Thursday’s game was a unique opportunity for West Australians to see two traditional Victorian rivals battle each other in the west.
We know that West Australians love to travel to Melbourne for a footy weekend to see games of AFL, he said.
With the unfortunate COVID-19 pandemic hitting Victoria hard, this is an opportunity for West Australians to come out to Optus Stadium after work on Thursday and watch a game involving two famous Victorian teams.
Tickets have been specially priced with a family of four able to see all of the action for just $60 and junior tickets available from just $15.
Fans are reminded not to attend the stadium if they are unwell or have flu-like symptoms.
All tickets will be mobile-based to minimise contact and crowds are discouraged from arriving last-minute to avoid queuing.
Patrons are also discouraged from bringing bags to limit the time spent waiting in the security line.
Round seven will be completed with Fremantle taking on West Coast at Optus Stadium on Sunday.
Round eight fixtures, released on Monday, will then see Collingwood take on West Coast the following Sunday and Geelong verse Fremantle the following Monday.
Those clubs will subsequently swap the following weekend for round nine, with Geelong meeting West Coast at the Eagles’ home ground and the Magpies playing the Dockers at the same venue, though that round is yet to be finalised.
