If anyone is interested in how many grand final tickets were allocated to where in 2017 (exact break downs):

https://preview.tinyurl.com/y7qzr92z

Several people yesterday were interested in the breakdown so I've extracted the summary showing 2017 Actual vs the AFL Standard Range:

 

Yesterday, I estimated:  20,000 MCC members, 20,000 AFL members, 20,000 'AFL Entitlements/Obligations'. These are generally much closer to the mark than the AFL published 'Range', the latter being to allow them to do what they like eg the AFL will never have just 5,000 for its 'Entitlements/Obligations' nor '0' for 18 AFL clubs. 

Needless to say there isn't a lot of equity in either the allocation nor that it is the Competing Club Members that actually pay full price to attend (even tho their club membership cost is not much less than other AFL/MCC members).  But, as they say in the classics:  Life wasn't meant to be fair!

Not sure if this has been covered yet...

Just received my Grand Final barcode int he mail today (Hong Kong).

I am Priority 3 for the ballot, however my father and sister are Priority 2.

The form says that if people want to sit together, you have to enter the ballot together.

 

Does this mean that people with different priority level cannot sit together, or can we put our barcodes on the same booking and let the computer sort it all out..?

If you apply together then everyone drops to priority 3.

Ouch!  Kiss of death!

I would not be popular at Christmas... might just apply solo.

We are in 511 row 3.  4 of us coming. At least we won’t be alone 

Good stuff - that makes at least 7 of us in 511! You’ll hear our roars and screams after every goal, and ”oooss” and “aaahss” after every Clarry pick up and handball. Throw in a bit of “Weeeeeeeeeeiiiiid” and I think you’ll know soon enough who the three nutters up the back are!

Just registered also.  As it has been way too long, does anyone know when you choose the category seating or is a case of random selection so you pay for category 1 seating even if you only want to pay for Category 3 seating

Just went online to Ticketek for Priority 1 rego. Very quick and easy. Selected option 1 as recommended but really hope I'm not in standing room or up in the roof of the G. Level N or M would be awesome or anywhere near the Cheer Squad.

Have to wait and see I guess 

Most importantly we gotta win!

Goo Deeeees!!!!

Interesting that we can't request what price category yet.  Is that randomised too?

Hi fellow Priority 1 members.

What option did you select for your GF ticket?

We should hopefully get a seat but seems a possibility to be standing if selected option 1.

Sure hope not as I can't stand al day (maybe swap with someone who likes to stand)

By the way what's it like in standing room? Do we have our own section or mixed with Cwood or Richmond bogans?

Priority 1 is guaranteed a seat.

The standing room election is there because it has to be there for priorities 2 and 3 and obviously the software is not sophisticated enough to remove that election for priority 1.

Hope we all get to enjoy it.

I suspect if one were a Tigers supporter it's priority 1 only to get a ticket.

Mentioned on the AFL podcast today that there will be 2,300 Demon supporters heading over from Melbourne.

If you think that doesn't sound like many, its the most ever.  Not even the Pies have ever had that many Vic fans travel West.

That's incredible! And I thought the Pies fans were quite loud there a few weeks back too!

Agreed, incredible that our fans outnumber the Pies that went over.

Re the noise on TV, Ch 7 put microphones near the cheer squad and opp fans so it sounds good for television. 

I reckon our players will have the MCG roar of the last few weeks echoing in their ears, even if our fans at the stadium get drowned out.

Yeah that's true there's always tricks like that used in coverage. Think I prefer the dead silence from stunning a crowd!

I'm in ROW 3 and will be wearing a jumper with number 18 on it. Make yourself known if you so wish. We will be getting rowdy and raising hell.
