Hi all, in 2021 I was able to pre-purchase GF tickets (had to sell them cos, you know, Perth) well before we looked like getting in.  I just can’t recall how I was able to buy them - but I’m willing to take a punt again.  It was tied to my membership??

we also had 2 weeks from when we got in to when the game was played that year.  Depending on your membership level you just got an e-mail saying which level ticket you wanted.  i think there is a ballot too.

Sorry I can't help but I just wanted to say that I love your optimism. 

Wouldn't a Dees v Pies gf be fantastic with a flag finally won at the G.

Are you talking about adding a grand final guarantee to your membership? No way to "pre-purchase" through a membership. The only way that is possible is buying one of the AFL hospitality packages for the grand final (starts at about $1.2K)

There is the Grand Final Guarantee add-on that gives you the right to buy a ticket for the GF if your team makes it, but not sure if these are still available as I can't see them online anymore

Must have been the guarantee -

Depends on what type of membership you have.

Regular Melbourne members (excluding AFL members, MCC members and 3 game members) can add a GFG to their membership. It costs $295 but would likely have already been sold out. 

This is separate to Legends, Tridents, Redlegs and Demon Seats Plus members who already have the GFG in their membership

The only Grand Final guarantee seats left by round 1 was a few reserved seats. If you’re interested in getting one I’d contact the club. There seems to be a few left around us. The membership folks are super helpful, and have all the info in front of them - so can give you the best advice. If you are nice and explain what you want they’ll go out of their way to help. 

As an aside we sat in our regular reserved seats on the weekend, even though it was an away game. My mum is a chancer and tried on her old lady ‘oh hello dear, we usually sit here…’ routine, and the bloke on the gate fell for it and let us in!

As an enormously-superstitious person, seeing this thread just ruined my year.
