Food & Drink prices at the Footy

[djhabib]

I'm guessing the smart ones go to the servo before the game?

Yes or load up before the game. We are lucky compared to other grounds.

$7.50 for 3 chicken wings $9 for hamburger a joke

u can get 4 wings for $2 at the local westfields food hall .

 

[belly]

Its a lot more than $1 markup.

I voted Yes..

Without sounding like a tight ass, but I paid $5 for the smallest bottle of sprite the other night at the game.
Imagine if I had kids etc to pay for.

You can't over charge for things like that when other shops and places sell them for hardly anything.

i cant remember the last time i actually ate at a game, unless i was in a corporate box.

beer prices are pretty good. $25, 4 beers. not bad at all. i not a huge fan of VB, but i still drink it. anyone that lines up for 45 minutes for food is dead set kidding and should have a look at themselves instead of blaming others.

 

[DruNkDazZ]

Haha, yeah, Hardly ever eat at the game, let alone probably the entire day. Liquid Meals all day long.

What's stopping you from taking your own food and non-alcoholic drinks in?

 

[belly]

Your not allowed to take anything in anymore, they take it from you when they bag search.

Really? I thought that was just for alcohol?

Nope the other week I watched security clear a mother's bag of snacks and juice boxes for her 3 littles ones she had with her..

i don't believe stuff like that is far.

Yes I agree with you on that.

 

[belly]

Nothing much you can do though.
The food is crap at the footy anyway.

Eat in the leagues before hand
Spend money in the club

Don't forget we own the ground so take profits from sales within the ground. I always grab a meal in the bistro or the chinese restaurant before going in to the ground. Better quality food and the prices are quite reasonable.

 

[belly]

Yeah good point!!

Just put it down your pants...

I think you will find that the catering is contracted out so sales don't equal profit.

Chinese in the club is the best in the shire, satay chicken and sizzling steak!

Either way, the contractors would be paying a fee to the club based on forecast revenue from sales of food. Money from food sales still gets back to the club.

It must depend which dude you get.

I took my little niece and nephew on Sunday and they brought with them lunch boxes featuring le snaks, cup cakes, sandwiches, fruit and juice boxes.
I opened the case for security, he peered right in, looked hungry, and waved us through without comment.

I've always taken food along for twenty years. The only thing I have been forced to return to my car with is my camera.... and I did think that was a bit silly.

I saw a guy getting breath tested outside the ground before the eels game, thought that was pretty funny!
