Hi All

Call me crazy and shoot me down if you will.I am a mad demons supporter but I live with 2 collingwood supporters(Husband and son) who are AFL silver members but Eddie changed the rules this year(he isn't doing a ballot for silver members,you have to upgrade to legends or no chance of a grand final ticket) and they have no chance of getting a ticket through their club.I need to get them out of the house on Grand final day or they will drive me nuts.I know this is a long shot but I promised my son if Collingwood got into the Grand final I would ask you guys and last night my worst fears were realised.If anyone knows of any tickets available or if you can direct me in the right direction that would be great.I am happy to pay above ticket price for 1 or 2 tickets

How much are you prepared to pay?? I know where to access GF tix but they have to come with a GF Brunch at Etihad Stadium thru an AFL wholesaler. Will be well over a grand a pop however! I can PM u details if required! As you`d expect, they are selling like hotcakes. People are coming from O/S to go to the game and price is not an issue for starved Pies. They`ll be gone soon!

 

yeah last night on the footy AFL events advertised a game day package for the small sum of $1350 each... but i'm sure their have been a few overnight robberies and they are now all been snapped up by filth supporters paying in cash.. :)

As harsh as JW sounded, I'm pretty sure they are right in saying that it would risk their AFL membership by giving someone else (a non-member) their barcode for tickets.

From what I understand, you purchase a ticket with the barcode, they (ticketek) type in the member number, then the member's name appears on the actual ticket. Then, when you try to get in to the football, they would check id to make sure the name matches. If it doesn't, you've lost your money, and the member probably loses their membership.

Unfortunately, the AFL have it set up as a corporate day, rather than 2 sides supporters going to watch their team play in the last game of the year.

Nb. Happy to be proved wrong as I'm not 100% sure how it works, and I have friends who have the barcodes but are non-members, and are wanting to buy tickets but don't want to risk losing their cash/their friends AFL membership.

Yeah, I just assumed that the AFL membership was transferrable.

If not, the request is totally unreasonable.

I probably won't go, but would never risk giving my MCC membership to someone else.

Not a chance. Even if they weren't a collingwood supporter!

Yes, true,,, but an AFL member could surely buy the tickets & hand them over to the person they were giving a helping hand to.

Nope. Membership is non transferable and I.d checks, although rare, do happen. The ticket itself, because purchased with the afl membership, is also non transferable. Too big of a risk for someone who has waited 8 or so years to become a full member.

Even if AFL Silver members were in the ballot there'd be no guarantee of a ticket, so it might have been worth investigating grand final options earlier. It's definitely something Dees fans should be thinking about in a couple of years.

As for using someone else's AFL membership, the AFL's mentioned they'll be more vigilant with ID checks etc.

It's not like your son needs to attend the function. If your reluctance is because of the cost, you might have to suck it up if you want tickets to the grand final.

That said, ticketing arrangements for the grand final suck.

PS. I wonder what the requests will be like on here when the Dees make the grand final :P

HI There

I do understand what you are saying about the AFL full membership,and you are probably right it may be to big a risk for some people and that is fair enough.I have tried all the footy clubs and they are all sold out so maybe it is just my hubby that will be lucky enough to go.But I still hold out hope that someone from a non competeing club may not want their tickets.Just to let you know my son is also a Demon member,hopefully in a few years he will be coming with me to a grand final to watch the Dees win.I agree,It will be very interesting to see the messages on here when the Dee's arrive in that Grand Final.I know if I could I would help someone out and I appreciate all the help and advise that was given by some Demonlanders

Its not possible in the MCC to "borrow" memberships anymore, as every member is photographed. I have no idea what AFL members go through.

Am still deciding whether i will go on saturday...it is special to be there live when the Filth lose.... :)

Wow,thats amazing that MCC use photo ID.AFL members don't have to do that yet but maybe it will be on it's way for them as well.Thanks for the explaination I'm all new to this but am learning very quickly.

Ah, OK, there you go.

Theyve had it like that for about 5-6 years now.

Maybe longer.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
