Barcodes? Do we have to buy tickets on line?

@WalkingCivilWar which end is DA?

I hope they allocate Melbourne seating away from Collingwood seating. I rather not die at this game.

Will be sent tomorrow. Yes online. Have your barcodes ready and be logged in.

Is it limited to one ticket per membership?

You’d think so vs the pies

Someone said recently on here that it's equal allocation numbers for each club. If so, could be several per membership, like last year

No chance. We have 67K members and the Pies have 101K. 
 

No tickets will make it to general public.

Is it based upon membership numbers per club or is it equally divided up per club?

Equal allocations, but since we’ve both got more than 50K members, it’s unlikely we’ll get the opportunity for plus ones.

How early is too early to book flights to the prelim and/or GF 😎

No idea but it’s two Melbourne based clubs so members won’t be able to get multiple tickets. Last year we played Swans / Lions so both interstate clubs. 

[Jaded No More 68,975]

Watch them release all tickets at the same time for all games and have the site crash immediately. If we get equal allocation they should do a staggered release to avoid this level of angst.

There is no chance in hell this will all go smoothly.

Just need those sweet sweet tickets and away from black and white bin dippers 

[Jibroni 5,035]

Can guarantee Ticketek will go into Meltdown at 10.05 with the demand for Tickets.

[Lucifers Hero 40,509]

While Ticketek nominally assign Bays for the two clubs I don't think it is sophisticated enough to ensure the numbers are 50/50.  My impression last year was first in, best dressed.

Regarding the Ticketek 'premium' member option the computer didn't always deliver premium seats nor priority access.  The seat allocation seemed to be on price category rather than membership status.  Anyone could choose the highest priced tickets. 

Generally, the computer seemed to allocate tickets (by price category) in a Bay until it was full then allocated tickets in the next available Bay.  Sometimes there were Bays with fans from both clubs but you don't know this until you get to the game.

Once the MCC, AFL and other group's seats are considered the allocation for club members will be relatively small.

Hopefully the tickets for Carlton/Sydney go on sale on the Wednesday to avoid a total meltdown.   The other games' tickets will be sold by Ticketmaster.

@Fear the beard will probably know more.

Pray.

Honestly, nothing else you can do other than queue and hope.

AFL members tix go on sale at midday and it is going to be a ****show with all games on sale at once. If the site doesn't crash it will be a miracle.

Thankfully it’s staggered this year. Collingwood v. Melbourne on sale at 12 on the Tuesday, Carlton v. Sydney and St. Kilda v. GWS on sale at 12 on the Wednesday. 

[Matty 33]

Does anyone have any idea how to get the barcode if you don’t receive the email? Is it on the ticketek account?

I haven’t received emails from the club since prior to 2018

Why on earth are we in the Ponsford. Collingwood sit in M33 all year for home and away games and have made the Ponsford theirs. It is technically their home game (I understand it is meant to be neutral) and we prefer to be at Punt Road end? Surely this makes no sense.
