Beautiful weather for Day 2 at the MCG for #AUStriches vs Pakistan

They’ve now closed the bars and introduced some dystopian self-service bullshit where you tap your card to enter (no cash), take what you want and it’s automatically deducted from your account.

Can’t wait til AI says I’ve had enough to drink!

I watched from home.. a classic lazy day with the cricket. Pakistan played well. 1st session tomorrow is key. 🤙

And I’m guessing the food and drinks are still ridiculously over priced even though you have to serve yourself?

Adelaide Oval has been card only for a while and I think they are starting to roll out some self-serve tech as well.

Yep everything is ridiculously overpriced. $12 for a can of midstrength beer, $14 for a German hotdog, $13 for 2 chicken tenders and some chips.

Automatic ejection if you’re caught skolling a beer as always. My mate heard the security guards after they ejected Willy Wonka and a bunch of guys dressed as Oompah Loompahs ask his colleague “what does ‘skoll skoll skoll’ mean?” - they’ve got immigrants running all the security who don’t know what’s happening..

Closed food service at 4pm and the bars at 5pm despite self service - except for MCC of course because they’re special.

No more Bay 13 - they’ve dumped a massive CommBank platform in the stands now for hospitality which was empty all day.

Trying their hardest to screwup what is supposed to be one of the best sporting events on the calendar!

Tripped me right out.

Wow, same thing at airports you can see how they pull all of this stuff together with IOT, biometrics, digital identity, social credit score and IA... Almost time to head for the woods

Make bay 13 great again
