They include the standing room which could total up to say 10k across both clubs which means only around 5k seats available to priority 2.

What a pity GWS couldn't make it.

I see.

What I don't understand is who the hell are the other 60,000 people who will get tickets to the grand final then, if only 40,000 are club member tickets?

    It's in the PDF file Steve (prices below Full/Concession)

    CATEGORY 1 $410 $349

    CATEGORY 2 $400 $340

    CATEGORY 3 $370 $315

    CATEGORY 4 $340 $289

    CATEGORY 5 $300 $255

    CATEGORY 6 $250 $213

    CATEGORY 7 $180 $153

    R'VIEW/STAND $150 $128

     

    am i right in thinking that you can't specify a preferred category in the ballot?

    i.e. if you wanted standing room you couldn't nominate and could end up with category 1

    Nope, it says to give yourself best chance in the ballot, you should select ALL categories and just deal with what you get.

    Approx:

    • 20,000 to MCC members,
    • 20,000 to AFL members,
    • 20,000 to AFL affliations and sponsors.

    Numbers to each group can vary.

    If anyone is a P2 (or better) member and not able to go to the GF, I would love to be able to use your code for a chance at a ticket. Please PM! Thank you.

    Still no email for gf registration for me. Come on dees!

    Poor form from the club.

    When I rang the club, the on hold message said the email was being sent at lunchtime. I got mine 2:48, hang in there.

    I got an email around 2.30 today about the ballot;  i am an interstate member category 3.

    It was pretty noisy and my voice was totally gone by quarter time. I wasted it all telling Nicholls what a total dick he is. 

    So apparently only 10,000 MFC members have priority 1 memberships (myself included!), and the club will get 20,000 tickets allocated, so priority 2 members have a decent chance of getting a seat.

    I would tell everyone to get an upgraded membership next year, but honestly, I don't want to be fighting it out with more people for a good GF ticket... so stay as you are ;)

    Thanks, do you know how many priority two members the club has? Im a priority 2 but my three kids are priority 3.

    Also, if each club has an allocation of 20k each who do the remaining 60k tickets go to? Surely a situation where more than half of the people attending do not support either team is not the ideal atmosphere.

    Would anyone know, if I’m a Redleg member and I am guaranteed a GF ticket should MFC participate, where roughly I’d be seated?

    Cheers

    Depends on how much your willing to pay for a ticket. 

    Im a Redleg member also and so is my Dad so we will both go along, I need another Redleg barcode though so I can get my son a ticket....

    Well I managed to get down to Melbourne for 3 games during the season. Having said that I missed the last two weeks. I’m more than happy to pay the $410, I’m hoping that would land me somewhere on level 2.

    Same. It's a whole lot of e-mails all going at once.

    I would think that if you are in Priority 1, you get drawn out of the ballot before priority 2/3 and therefore are more likely to get allocated better seats?

    I mean look I don't care where I sit, but surely if you've forked out money for a priority 1 membership, you won't end up in crappier seats than someone who got picked from priority 2 group?

    Yeah you're probably right, I guess it depends on which order they release the bays in. You'd assume priority 1 get ground/2nd level first and once that's exhausted they move to the upper levels.

    When we got seats to the GF in 2000 we were up the top of the old Ponsford Stand. No idea what the allocation was like then though, my dad organised all that as was still a teenager.

    I haven't read through all the fine print yet but my 9 year old Son is a Priority 2 and I'm a Priority 3 ?

    Hoping the fine print explains how I register to give us both a chance to go... Surely they don't expect him to go on his own? Although he would! Haha

    Far out, the process to acquire tickets seems ridiculously confusing. If we happen to make it I’m going to find a scalper.

    I'll be in the queue for a Priority 2 ticket and will be mightily effed off if some non-member barcode beggar gets a seat ahead of me.

    On ya bike (putting it very politely)

    My understanding is that if you group together members of various priorities, the chances drop down to that of the lowest priority. The system will be able to match barcode numbers with priority level.

    So, for two priority 1's and one priority 2 to attend together they will all go into a priority 2 category.

    Honestly, who the [censored] thought this would even be something we would discuss this late in the year? Grand final tickets? Get out of here!

    It's crazy! ? But as it's a real possibility we are forced to think ahead... I'm totally confused though... My 9yr old is a P2 while my 5yr old daughter and myself are P3 ?

    All I need is 1 adult + 1 concession for my son and I... But if I register myself with him then we both end up P3 ? 

    Do I bite the bullet and register his P2 separately and then myself and daughter P3? Then what if he gets a P2 and we miss out ? I'll beefarked if I'm sending him on his own ?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
