Spoke to Richmond mates. They reckon it’s impossible for normal members to get tickets.  Missed out last year. 

Though they had 90000 members and we have 45000 so some better chance. 

Being a Demon reserved seat member (19 years) and 37 year member gets me Priority 2??

Unfortunately. Yes

[Elegt 872]

would anyone not going to the game on Saturday be able to do a solid one for me and either share a barcode number or maybe purchase tickets for me tomorrow which may be a more secure option

Who is willing to fork out some money to buy up our seat allocation in Perth even if we don't go? The noise of affirmation may be less affirmative if there's only 30k of them there and the stadium is half empty

Thatd be hilarious if there was an empty bay in the pocket

So have to enter ballot Wednesday and if we lose on Saturday they will still charge us $5 what an absolute rort

Anyone having trouble registering for the grand final? It keeps sending me to Collingbog and Richmond game

[Demon Rising 4]

Hi 

I luckily took our a GF guarantee with my reserved seat in M50 this year so I guess I'm priority 1 for Wednesday registration. 

I have a sore hip at times so don't want to be giving standing room so I'm going to select option 2 I think.

Will this jepodize the chances of ground level of level 2 seats.

Q level is also way too high past the first few rows (had a look last Friday).

Can anyone advise the best option if you know 

Thanks

[Males 578]

I think registration for us is available on Wednesday 19th?

Edit: AFL site says that Semi Final 1 winners can register Wednesday 19th. Semi Final 2 winners on Thursday 20th

Does anyone have a list of the categories and ticket prices for the prelim or where one can find them? TIA

yep.. priority 2

The maximum per club allocation is 20k per club (increased from 10k a few years back). IF they allocate the maximum I would expect the allocation to be exhausted in the priority 2 category but that is just a guess.

As you say a lot better chance than Tiger members many of whom will have upgraded their memberships in hope of snaring  a ticket.

The other thing that irks me is that not that long ago you could just walk into the ground at the end of the game if not before.

I had always planned to jump a train at 3/4 time if we were in with a chance and see the end. Can't do that anymore !!

I can confirm this in our area Dee Zephyr. Just came back from watching a film and there was around 20+ ppl with their camping gear lined up outside Ticketek.

We almost missed out on tickets last week so moving forward, I think (work permitting) that I would probably line up too & use my phone on the day to see if I could get seats whilst in the line. Last week I got a red robot on my phone, I never want to see that robot again! LOL!

I'd select best available. Someone will buy it off you if you dont want it (me)

Anyone have any idea how many GF-Guarantee/Entitlement type memberships the club has?

FWIW, I had assumed a GF-G is for a seat not just an entry ticket...I might be in for a shock!

• Legends Members

• Trident Members

Thanks DZ...I was curious as to roughly how many GF tickets from mfc allocation are set aside for them.

I'm interested in the answer too LH. I'm QLD-based but always buy the full home membership so I assume that would put me in Priority Category 2. Definitely be interested in finding out what kind of odds we'd have of jagging a ticket. Hate even considering it before winning a prelim. Feels like we'll jinx it but I guess this is the system in place. So anyone have any clue what percent chance Priority Cat 2 members will have? Cheers in advance.

[Nasher 33,617]

The way I read it was the P2s would start being issued once all the P1s are exhausted, so it would depend on how many members of those P1 memberships there are. I tried to see if I could find any info on that, but couldn’t.

My membership (aka annual donation to the club) affords me P3 in the ballot, so I assume I’m boned, but might as well throw my hat in the ring anyway for the sake of $5. We’ve got 40k members and there will be 20k or so seats allocated, so you never know your luck.

[praha 11,240]

I'm a Full AFL Member so given contending clubs have their own designated time ahead of neutral AFL Members (as opposed to finals, which are a free for all), and no two teams' full AFL membership numbers combined fill the Reserve, I'd say I'm in a pretty good position should we make it.

i'd think a fair few of those 40+k would be priority 3, plus a number of the remaining wouldn't be going for a variety of reasons, so priority 1 and 2 members might have a pretty good chance. The risky ones might be those who have specified a largish block of seats, given that it's all or nothing. A good strategy might be to split largish blocks into smaller blocks........just thinking out aloud 

next year will be much harder with more members in total plus more members being prepared to pay the GF guarantee given our prospects are now so rosy

[Demon Rising 4]

Wise members will have previously put their passion into a GF guarantee on their membership and be priority 1 already!×
