cannot say for certain with MFC but I am reasonably sure that as a Richmond or Collingwood supporter the likelihood of being P3 and getting  a ticket would be absolutely zero.

Lotteries for non existent prizes were outlawed years ago.

PS: Around $10 per member and we wouldn't need to play in Darwin .. ah it's just a few cups of coffee

I'm with you on this DJ. There should be more transparency around the number of priority 2/3 tickets so priority three ticketholders can make an informed judgement on whether to invest $10 on the possibility of getting tickets. If I was a priority 3 Richmond supporter I don't think I'd even bother (if that priority category even existed, which I think it should not for a club with that many members).

    I understand that the corporates put a lot of dough into the AFL, but a maximum of 40,000 tickets (40% of total) to paid up members of both clubs is laughable, especially at the inflated prices.

    Also, with the entry fee to the ballot, I reckon Ticketek will make around $3/4 million - $1 million just from supporters of the two clubs that didn’t make it!

    FWIW I think the 40,000 figure is pretty fanciful. The only way I can see a club getting even 35,000 tickets is if the other club is GWS or Gold Coast. For us, who would be playing Richmond or Collingwood,  20,000 seems far more likely.

    is an elder statesman with a Seniors card able to use this ticket

    probably not. Is the elder statesman's membership a concession? Does he receive any welfare?

    It's been publicised elsewhere on Demonland that we have approx 10,000 Priority 1 Members. This leaves anywhere from 0 - 10,000 P2 and P3 tickets available.

    45,000 members approx total - 10,000 P1 ticket holders  = up to a 28% chance

    I understand you can enter P3, but only as a P3 with everyone else of that level.

    I am.p2 and also forgot to make it worse I remembered at like 5:15pm:( too I don't see red and blue home and away members In priority 3 so yeh think we are screwed, I don't think all p2 will even get tickets given we are only given 20,000 max and 10,000 go to p1... P3 basically no chance

    I guess there's always the chance not everyone will take up their tickets in the higher category for whatever reason. MCC / MFC dual members may already have been successful in the MCC ballot for instance.

    I fixed this issue by deleting the '0' at the start of my phone number on that same page but under contact details. I read about it a few weeks ago and it worked for me after I had that problem tonight!

    happened to me exactly the same for the semis and repeatedly, ended up going direct to agency

    i still have an ongoing dialog with ticketek who tried to fob it off onto some third party security service (unnamed). all i wanted was an assurance it was fixed which they couldn't give me. fortunately was ok for the ballot.

    All very painless really. Being Priority 3 it is no doubt a donation to Ticketek but exciting to be in the ballot nonetheless.

    I managed to get into the ballot at Cat 3

    Our children were Cat 2 im thinking because they had home and away memberships as part of our country member 5 game package.

    This meant that they could enter as children but would have no adults with them! So we all drop to cat 3.

    Im thinking if others have the same as me the guys without kids who are cat 2 will have a better chance!

    Do we seriously need to have 400×8 in our bank account if we win?

    Only if you want to go to the GF!  I don't know when they do the ballot or take the cash, so I don't know how soon after you will need to sell the kids and the missus to have the cash in your account at the pleasure of Ticketek.  Anyone know how soon after our game this is all done??

    Members who were successful in the ballot will have their credit card charged on either September 22 or September 23 (after winning the Preliminary Final). Please ensure that you have enough funds for all tickets on your nominated card. There will be no follow up on any rejected credit cards once the ballot has been run. If your credit card fails to process, your tickets will be reallocated to eligible member/s. If you need to change your credit card details prior to the ballot, you can do so up until 11am, Friday September 21 by contacting Ticketek on 132 849.

    Discussed last night. If 45000 public seats available, then for example Tigers get 30000 and Demons get 15000. That’s only 1/3rd of our members.   

    GF seats for the heart and soul supporter is really difficult unless you look to spend $1000+  on a membership. 

    I might do that next year so I can see us go back to back !!!!!

    Its an even split if the club has enough for their half

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
