First I think the game runs at a loss these days so not sure there would be a financial incentive to do it.

Maybe 3 game series could be played elsewhere given crowd numbers may shrink per game. A Game 3 match up would be similar to a one off you'd think so TSA would be needed and no income to be made there for BSA.

A lot of Leagues now do Series for GFs. QBL and BigV run series while SEABL and Waratah still have single GF games.

Firstly, you could not play all 3 games at the Arena. I'm pretty sure BSA already run the current one game format at the Arena at a loss so to then absorb the possibility of three games wouldn't be financially viable.

Secondly, you would have to move it to a home and away format for the above financial reason. Currently there are not many venues if any that could cope with the crowd that attended the Arena. We saw the crush of spectators at Hillcrest during the finals.

Until there is better stadia I think the reality is PL is stuck in the current format.

income vs cost. BSA would have lost money

Then maybe utilise Wayville for game 3 with the added stands that they have brought in for Australian Championships.

Car parking goes to arena not to bsa
ticketmaster get their cut of tickets.
canteens etc to arena or sixers
cost of hiring venue, paying for security
they wouldn't be bringing home much money.

don't think for a minute that the $25 you paid for car parking and entry went to BSA.

Keep it a one, gives the underdogs a great chance, in this case west. Just like NCAA best team on night takes home the bikkies, makes more excitement. Top team gets the advantage of better route to final.
As for losing money this is why state needs to sort out a proper centre, so majority of $25 goes to scouts and Ticketmaster, disgraceful.
Pity wayville couldn't hold more fans, could have men and women on separate nights to even out crowd, canteen etc doesn't go to forestville and heaps of free parking.

This is off topic but going to wine region recently with "cellar doors" everywhere yet none were actually cellars... lol.

Well then seeing as they run at a loss to subsidise the game so it isnt too expensive for the average fan and family maybe they should kick up the price to $30 a ticket so they make money.

Because no one would complain about that.

Ticketmaster and TSA arent charities, they are in the business of making money. They arent flexible with their rental or contractual arrangements. The scoreboard for example is a seperate fee if you want to use it.

Maybe a few people need to grasp the concept of commercial realities.

To utilise the stats on the scoreboard is an extra cost.

Ricey money was made. By the private consortium which now run the venue.

Only Adult tickets were $15. For those that had to pay. And there was not close to 4,000 there.

How come reserves have all the courts on Tuesday night with literally dozens of spectators, how come that is infinitely more of a loss.
Why not pre-sell tickets at clubs involved then have volunteers sell at game. Have one line for each team and whoever gets the most fans gets the biggest cut.
Don't know how to solve car park but it's a shame stadium couldn't help out on one of biggest nights of year by doing discount.
