TICKETING: Rd 10 vs Adelaide

[Demonland 70,258]

Anyone know how we get tickets for the Adelaide game? 

Is there a Melbourne member allocation?

[Diamond_Jim 12,357]

don't think there will be too many Adelaide supporters attending but a lot of the seating is presold.

Not sure if Adelaide members can transfer their seat for the day but if so there would be no problem.

There will also be an allocation for the competing club which I doubt in this environment will be too full.

Good luck if you go along... it's a magical ground

It's one of 2 remaining main stadiums that I need to tick off the list.

I’ve booked flights and will do accom tonight, the bloke I’m going with is a Crow gold member (he gets a stupid gold hat and scarf and all, which he threw into the bin after we beat them in Adelaide last time) and his last message to me was:

“So GA tickets on sale Wednesday, I can buy from Tuesday as a member but only 1 ticket. 
A best option could be get you a 3 game membership which we go halves in ($50 each) and then we can purchase tickets together on Tuesday and not risk missing out.”

I really don’t want to buy an Adelaide membership! 

Oh and it’s an awesome stadium! The old man took me when I was maybe 17 to see Aust vs West Indies and I went again to the Dees game in ‘18, beautiful place to watch sport. The hill is just awesome.

We're also trying to get tickets. Asked the MFC for some assistance as part of our player sponsorship, but they don't have any details as fresh as this morning.

Just spoke to a staff member at Adelaide Oval, and she didn't even have any ticketing info available. Encouraged us to get onto the Ticketek website at 11.30am AEST on Tuesday 18 May to see what we can get.

The Ticketek website doesn't seem to indicate there is a member preference period, but I can see up the thread that this seems to be the case?

Complete overrreaction from CARDS 13 and yourself about buying crows membership.

From Cards13  advice it's going to cost him only $50 ( remember he is probably spending $500 to go to Adelaide already) going  halves with his Crow  supporter friend who has use of the ticket for another 2 games!! 
 

You are not really buying a Crows membership you are using a down payment of $50 on that for entry and seating as well. ( Presumably  that's correct) 
 

Any seat in that stadium is fine ( have been in the Bradman  Stand for Test cricket and for $50 you tick off another venue you watched the Might Dees win at.

Demon land yes your entry is not as smooth and more costly but it does tick off a box off your stadiums list !!

And the ignominy of purchasing a Crows ticket.!!! 

Crows  are down to about 28/30,000 crowd although many seats are reserved and presold. Which reduces the choice somewhat.

Please Enjoy  both of you and I have a feeling this game is one we are going to be tuned in for as a warm up prep for the Bulldogs  game.

Before Covid I preferred the Recipricol rights MCC ticket entry for $40 at the G and let my friend who uses my ticket at  the G for another family member and stood in the Outer in the Great Southern  Stand half forward flank near where Tommy  kicked his boundary goal yesterday. ( Otherwise known to Pies fans as the Dom Sheed pocket!!).

The atmosphere in the MCC members now this year almost has  me looking to do that on QB when I come from interstate for that "blockbuster" Even though I have the $0 ticket option and a seat at the G! 

Go Dees

Tickets are always filthy expensive to crows games.  It is a supply vs demand issue.  Most of the seats are reserved seat for their members.  Port matches are always cheaper ( but more feral ) :.)

More feral that the Crows ? That takes some believing.

We just get tickets to stand on the hill, cheapest “seats” in town!

Does anyone know the deal for Dees members getting a ticket to the game in Adelaide? Nothing on the club site or ticketek.

I was going over and tried to find out 2 weeks ago so I could make bookings

The word was that there are so few seats available almost impossible to snare  one

Black market it is then.

[Superunknown 4,058]

Interesting article in Domainfax about how all the difficulties around ticketing and the Kayo offer/Kayo in general is keeping people away.

As an interstate member I looked at the Carlton game, followed the instructions in the email to a letter and wasn't able to get a ticket.

I'd have thought you want to make it as easy as possible. Of course, ticketmaster's horrible system doesn't help.

What is this black market you speak of?

[Diamond_Jim 12,357]

strange the Age article didn't mention the continued closure of level 4 at the MCG

TBH I doubt the AFL is concerened about crowds at all this year. It's all about maintaining revenues (memberships) and covering stadium costs.

That's a great pity given our good year is unlikely to deliver the immediate revenue hot to the club that such a performance would usually deliver.

Crows supporters selling tickets... not very black as it would be no more than cost if not below.

Anyone know what time General Admin can get tickets through Ticketek?

11:30am was the time that Adelaide Members could get tickets. My barcode didn't work (obviously) but I could not select any bays to get General Admin so does anybody know when and/or if tickets are available to the public?

Poor form that there is nothing from the Dees in regards to this. I tried getting the information from the club but no one knew anything.

and they wonder why attendances are down?

This is what comes from reducing club staff and outsourcing your ticketing.

I suppose we should be thnakful that we're not paying the usual admin and ticket printing charge !!

Midday tomorrow apparently... ffs it is ridiculous, travelling members should get access at the same time!

Niall, Wilson and Gleeson are onto it. It's all too hard.

Vaccine hesitancy probably not helping.

Absolute joke. I wonder how many tickets are left at that point.
