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

OH [censored]!

Due to family commitments this arvo the ballot registration completely slipped my mind.

Can I put my P2 barcode into the P3 ballot or am I properly screwed...

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!

30 minutes on hold with Ticketec now... I know my chances are slim, but they're 0% at this rate...

Yeah I just went on and got through immediately. You might need to try a different device 

40 minute international call later... and I'm in!

That’s what I mean R & BB - 40,000 tix between the 2 clubs!

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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
