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 ?

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
