Apologies if this has been asked earlier in this thread, does anyone know if you decrease your chances of a ticket if you have more than one ticket in the ballot? I am uncertain if it randomly picks the first barcode listed and then if selected, any other barcodes that are linked to that in the registration are also successful. Alternatively does it look for how many tickets are in the booking and then your chances are reduced because you need a block of seats not just a single seat. 

I believe the mcc ballot for mcc members just looks for the first barcode and if that gets selected all linked tickets get seats. 

Just not sure with this mfc ballot. 

Does not seem to be published anywhere. The only reference to chances relates to standing vs non standing. 

Many help much appreciated.

Alright, I have more P2 barcodes than I have the need for tickets, BUT of course I want to maximise my chances to get tickets.  How easy (and legal) is it to on sell any tickets I might be lucky enough to get?

I'm a lowly P3 yet a 15 year member. A couple of years living in Shanghai recently meant no need for a higher level of membership. I'd be happy to buy the extra ticket off you should I miss out and you get the extra.

If you have an adult P2 bar code you are not using would you be willing to give to me (for reasons i dated previously on this thread)?

Quick question

A "concession" ticket - Understand juniors fall into this category but is an elder statesman with a Seniors card able to use this ticket??

In the P2 Ballot. $5.00 to ticketek either way ?

Now we wait...

wonder how many P3 people will go in the ballot .... there should be a little warning about your chances.

Of course it's not just the ballot chances etc... if your team doesn't make it (50% of applicants) you've done your dough.

People still play the lotteries. A $5 gamble is nothing in the scheme of things, especially if we win this week.

anyone got a rough percentage chance of getting a ticket in the P2 ballot

AFL has released their ticket allocation 

https://s.afl.com.au/staticfile/AFL Tenant/AFL/Files/2018-AFL-GRAND-FINAL-TICKET-SCHEME-FINAL.pdf

16,000 - 40,000 tickets set aside for competing clubs.Presuming a 50:50 split between us (if we make it) and either Richmond or Collingwood, that is 8,000 to 20,000 each

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

Tell that to my mate who's a single parent with 3 kids and all P3.

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 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!

until a couple of years back it was around 75% that allocation

From April 2017:

"In a major step for club members and supporters, the AFL has today advised the 18 AFL clubs that an extra 4,000 tickets for the Toyota AFL Grand Final will be made available to members of the two competing clubs.

The number of tickets available for purchase through event/corporate packages will fall by 4,000 to allow the revised match-day allocation numbers. The allocation of Grand Final tickets to MCC members, AFL/Medallion Club members and non-competing AFL clubs will remain unchanged.

Members of the two clubs who reach the Toyota AFL Grand Final will have access to 34,000 tickets, or 17,000 tickets per club."

So this might seem like a silly question that's probably been answered already, but I grabbed my P1 ticket earlier and now I want to put two barcodes into the P3 ballot but an concerned it will drag my P1 ticket to P3 level chances... Even though this will be been done in separate transactions..   Make sense?

I did it with a P1 and P2 in the respective times indicated.  I received different order numbers and separate emails straight after each transaction about 4 hours apart.  Based on that, I don't foresee problems with order contamination from one to the other.

As an aside: I'd be keen to know the breakdown of our 45k members i.e. numbers of P1, P2 , P3 members for instance. Also, I'm surprised one of the papers hasn't used FOI legislation to publish a m/ship breakdown for each club.

No worries, cheers anyway but I've ended up getting someone else with an account to do it.

The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
