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

 

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 :lol:

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

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

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 !!

3AW is tweeting lines started to form at ticketek outlets from this morning for the Rich v Coll game.

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!

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!

In the letter it lists 7 types for guaranteed tickets LH. 

• Chairman’s Club

• Foundation Heroes

• Legends Members

• Trident Members

• Redlegs Members 

• Demon Seat Plus Members 

• Grand Final Guarantee 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.

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.

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

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
    Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
