Have already got mine and I'm absolutely pumped! Last game I went to at the Telstra Dome (Rd 3 v North), I ended up sitting next to the mother of one J. Lewis...a lovely lady! Hope this game is an absolute belting...

[#6 Mark Williams]

Did she just randomly go to you I'm J.Lewis' mother?

[suedehead]

Did she just randomly go to you I'm J.Lewis' mother?

No, i heard her talking about him as if he was her son to the person she was sitting with. I just asked her and it turned out that, yes she was! I tell you, we were not happy when Pratt went down right in front of us.

[fishbowl]

Do I need to give my barcode to ticketek/ticketmaster and pay the $3.50? Or can I just buy 3 seats on Level 3. I hate Level 1 or 2. I don't want to pay general admission and give THEM any money.

If you are a 16 game Hawks member, yes, if not you will have to pay the general admission price (plus booking fee).

Level 2 is by far the best, unfortunately, was all sold out:(

Some level 3 up close, or else you will be stuck in general admission near the back in impared views...

[Furn]

if im just gonna stand can i just swipe my card if ive got a 16 game membership ?

[Hawks1523]

Where do the blokes from M10 go at the TD?

[mighty_fighting]

Dohhhh.....and I thought I had a 16 game membership!!!

Went to book and looked properly ...only an 11game...sh&T Bug$er P**

Enjoy it fella's

[Mitchell Madness]

iv got the 11 gamer too, so il just sit in the general admision with mates...

[rdhopkins2]

Keep an eye on whether it is declared to be a fully ticketed event or not. If it is you won't just be able to scan a 16 game membership and go stand or sit wherever you want- you will need to reserve a seat!

Rocking up and scanning won't work!

[Hawks1523]

Anybody? :D

All Essendon home games at TD are ticketed

[Juza]

All Essendon home games at TD are ticketed


Right.

I went to book a seat in AFL reserve on AFL Membership stupid Tickettek site wouldn't bloody work kept saying it's not avaible/Not able to Purchase.
So I got dad to get me some Medillaion Seats. Right behinde the goals next to the Camera Man Above the Essendon Cherrsquad Row 1. Can't wait to watch Buddy

[Hodgies Heroes]

indeed you can... If your standing no point in booking a seat. IT is mainly for the fans who like to get the good seats. Save disapointment and book now

Anybody wanting to go must have a booked seat - Essendon home games at TD are fully ticketed. Even with a 16 game ticket book now or you wil not get in !!!

[Hawkmatic]

Where do the blokes from M10 go at the TD?

Aisle 36/37 standing.

[rdhopkins2]

Get your tix tomorrow (or online tonight). No doubt us having lost last week, the Dons will be more confident in knocking us over so they will get a few more to the game. Get your tix quick so we can have as many Hawks as possible cheering our boys on!

[justthedukes]

What? So our 16 game membership doesn't mean anything? We have to book or we wont get in?

Isn't there ussually an area for general admission. i.e Standing Room?

[rdhopkins2]

Use the barcode from 16 game memberships to book a seat. You pay the ticket book fee think its about $5. You CANNOT just scan in on the night!!

Blame the booking fee on Essendon!! No point blaming Hawthorn! ;)

[scout]

From the Hawthorn official site;


Round 11 Essendon v Hawthorn - Important notice for members

This game is a fully ticketed match – all Essendon home games at Telstra Dome are fully ticketed.

Therefore 16-game home and away members will not be able to scan their membership card to gain access to this game. These members will need to do the following:



Upgrade to a premium reserved seat on level 1 or level 2 (currently on sale)

Obtain a seat on level three for the cost of a ticketing fee (pre-booked) $3.40 for an adult and $1.20 for a junior – these go on sale two weeks prior to the game

Obtain a seat on level three for no cost on match day from the box office


Purchase tickets online from Ticketmaster.

For more information, please contact our membership team on 1300 042 957.

[rdhopkins2]

Obviously if your just going to rock up before the game and hope to book a seat for free allow lots of time. If you don't get this free seat it will cost you a fair bit more for a L1 or L2 seat.

L3 will most likely sell out quick but I could be wrong! Hate these sort of games at hte dome!

[pup23]

so does this mean level 3 is nearly sold out there surely would still be seats left on level 1 its still 6 days until the game.

also the AFL - surely they could have stepped in and moved it to the MCG - with 80,000+ members for the 2 clubs (plus the non paid up people) there is a minimum 30,000 missing out on waht should be a great game of footyis the bombers play like they did against the Crows every week

[Mitchell Madness]

Only single seats, no good if you are attending as a group.

Level 3 has few seats in decent position still available, all others are imapred views....

[buddylove_23]

I already have tickets but i noticed there are heaps for sale on Ebay...

[Hawkmatic]

Another AFL draw blunder.

With out a doubt should be played at the MCG. Who's playing at the 'G that day?

Which part of level 3 are you looking at?

I just tried booking on Ticketmaster and was able to get 8+ tickets together.

[delirious1]

Sell it out to prove a point they shouldnt be putting hawthorn at the TD.

[Hawkmatic]

Sell it out to prove a point they shouldnt be putting hawthorn at the TD.

Fair enough playing us there against low crowd pulling clubs such as WB, Melbourne and the like, but against Essendon and last year Collingwood's just sheer folly.

[RustyHawk]

iv got the 11 gamer too, so il just sit in the general admision with mates...

There is NO General Admission.

Essendon games are all fully ticketed at Telstra Dome.

[Dixie Flatline]

It's an Essendon home game who have the deal with the Telstra Dome. It's hard to blame the AFL for this one.

[Mullarkey]

Hmmm, have the 16 game membership but Tickemaster wants to charge $23... All the tickets gone are they?

[Mitchell Madness]

Which part of level 3 are you looking at?

I just tried booking on Ticketmaster and was able to get 8+ tickets together.

Past experience for me at TD, if you are not within the first 10 rows of level 3, you find it hard to see anything, so the front 10 rows, all around.

[Jane Doe]

Well I went on the website this morning and I got 2 tickets on level 1 so I am not sure what the drama is.

[rdhopkins2]

Ticketmaster release bays in segments. The problem with this is you have idea whether it is the first, middle or last lot of bays they are selling....so all I can say is don't delay to make sure you get in. Certainly wouldn't advise rocking up on the day without a reserved seat hoping to chance your luck at the ticket box office without paying the booking fee!

[Mullarkey]

Well I went on the website this morning and I got 2 tickets on level 1 so I am not sure what the drama is.

Did you only pay the booking fee of $3.50 or whatever it is?

[Dixie Flatline]

The club may decide to refund members their booking fees, as they did with the Collingwood game last year. Keep your eyes peeled for any updates from the club.

[Henry Jr]

Hmmm, have the 16 game membership but Tickemaster wants to charge $23... All the tickets gone are they?

EDIT: Its now showing up as $3.50

This time, I entered the Membership Number. Click Continue.

DON't add anything under Step 1.

Choose what price seats you wish under Step 2.

Choose the way you want recieve the tickets in Step 3.

I then get the following:


Ticket Quantity Type Total ($)

1 M 3.40

3.40 Subtotal

0.00 Handling Charge

3.40 Total Charge


Hope that helps people out.

[Goldhawk]

I have a 16 game membership but they want to charge me $22.50 what happened to the $3.50 ?

[Boyler_Room]

Another AFL draw blunder.

With out a doubt should be played at the MCG. Who's playing at the 'G that day?

From AFL stakeholder's point of view it's definitely not.

The AFL has interest in getting as many games at TD as possible and only exists to make money for the stakeholders. No one knows who they are as they are a non listed company.

A game that will sell out the TD will NEVER, EVER be moved to the G. It's not going to happen.

[bungholes_premiers]

typical me left it too late - 7 afl members have to settle row R on level 3 ... effing crap dome

[Dixie Flatline]

Just been handed my Axcess One tickets courtesy of work. :p ;)

[kimbopen]

I went to book 3 seats (together) on Level 1 last Wednesday afternoon - and could only get individual seats.

We don't want to sit on Level 3, so we possibly aren't going to the game -we may up watching it on the telly instead.

EDIT: I looked at the Ticketmaster website around 30 minutes ago and did find some NON INDIVIDUAL seats on Level 1. Don't have my membership details with me, so can't book it tonight, but will give it another go in the morning.

They dont release many bays on level 1 until the week of the game.

I got 4 tickets together on level 1 this afternoon.

Just put an edit on my previous post - will have another crack in the morning as I don't have my membership details on me atm.

[hodge = gun]

so hang on, tell me if i rock up and scan my 16 game membership will i get in and be able to sit level 3? and also if we can how do we know what seats r reserved on level 3??? thanks in advance

[rdhopkins2]

No you can't just scan in. You need to reserve a seat whether it be L1, L2 or L3 you wish to sit on. If you want to stand you still need to reserve a seat.

[hodge = gun]

so ring ticketmaster? does it cost anything for the ticket? how come this wasnt the same at the kangas game? cheers matee

[deathevocation]

Got Row P level 3 tonight for 8 people. Wanted level one but there were too many tight arses in the group who didn't want to pay $40 or whatever it is. So it was either level one on my own or 15 rows back on level 3.

[rdhopkins2]

Ring Ticketmaster or use their website! Sooner is better than later I would suggest!

[GAMBLER]

Just got my tix on level 1.

No probs :thumbsu:

[Mitchell Madness]

Just got my tix on level 1.

No probs :thumbsu:

well ticketmaster are pricks thene. when i went in they said there were none available on level 2, only singles on level 1

[phreeze77]

depends where you ask to sit , if you ask for the wing then they will be scarce .. behind the goals and pockets should be a few areas with groups of seats available.

Personally I went for lvl 3 about the 50 metre line 8 rows back. Not sure of them hopefully they are goodish views.

[deathevocation]

Turns out my group got Aisle 1 Row T seats on level one last night.

I have a bad feeling it's near the Essendon cheer squad.

[Mullarkey]

Hmmm, have the 16 game membership but Tickemaster wants to charge $23... All the tickets gone are they?

Just an update on my issue, I was selecting Best Available option rather than choosing a level. Got my tickets after figuring this out last night.

[jeffo]

Hey Guys,

Don't go to TD often. Bought tix this morning in aisle 9 level 3, can anyone tell me if they are ok? Hopefully not impaired view next to the scoreboard... :confused:

[kimbopen]

Mate,

I just wandered over to Telstra Dome from work to purchase a couple of tickets for the game, and the only aisles that I could get 2 seats together were in aisles 48, 1 & 2.

All, sadly, are near the Essendon cheer squad.

I purchased seats in Aisle 1, row M. Think we're just to the left of them as you face the ground. If you were in Aisle 48, I think you'd be right behind them.

[beez]

Went on ticketmaster just then, and was able to get tix on level 1. But, as an AFL member, I find it ridiculous having to pay $23 for a seat when if the game was at the G, I'd simply be able to rock up, scan my card and get pretty good seats.


Grrrrrr

[rdhopkins2]

TM site having troubles tonight. Once again, when the site is is back up can I suggest you get in fast so that we can fill the stands with brown and gold! Go Hawks!

[RustyHawk]

Hey Guys,

Aisle 9 is good, near the wing. Wing area aisle 12-13.

Essendon take the Southern end - rows 45-03.

Hawk Cheersquad will be aisle 25-26 area - level 1

[RustyHawk]

Nice knowing you Kimbo.. you've been a brave Hawk person...your right in the middle of Indian country... good luck.

[Mitchell Madness]

Nice knowing you Kimbo.. you've been a brave Hawk person...your right in the middle of Indian country... good luck.

you think that is bad? try sitting amongst the opponent's cheer squad in BOTH FINALS last year.

Now that is scary (suprisingly the roos one was moreso!

[hawkette14]

I bought our tickets 2 weeks ago and even with Hawthorn Membership barcodes they have given us Level 1, Aisle 44, Row Q!

Wouldn't they try and consolidate the different sides Members?

[Ari]

Agree with your frustrations guys. It's preety crappy, as an Essendon supporter who stands, that we have to put up with this crap every week. I stand at games and still have to either line up or pay a booking fee for that privilege. I daresay it will likely be very Essendon inside the dome on Saturday night so good luck to the Hawks who get tickets!

[Mervyn Beasley]

Got myself some tix today.
11 rows back behind the goals for standard price.
Not crazy about the spot but anyways, when I questioned how much the next most expensive seats were and discovered they were about 10 bucks more. I thought stuff it I'll get em, assuming they were on level 1. But no they were just a few rows forward of the cheap ones!!
As far as I knew there were 3 different prices for the 3 different levels at the dome, but no, there are now 4 diff prices at the Dome, or at least, 4 diff prices at the dome for the bigger crowds and/or ess games.
Crap seats - 22 clams.
Bit better than crap seats - 32-33 clams.
Good seats - 42+ clams
Best seats - 52+ clams.

Freakin outrage.

[philhawk]

What's the estimated crowd looking at being, Rusty?

[Not a Wellman]

I hate td it's a pile of crap. Every bloody week either the train stops inbetween stations for at least half an hour, or they make u get off and get on another train just to go one extra station. Or twice i have had to walk/run to get their from flinders.

The ticketing system is disgraceful when you get the chance to go down and book they haven't released them yet or if your a day late they don't have any left on level one. AFL members this is for.

You guys should count yourselves lucky you don't have to put up with it every bloody week like we have to.

[Ari]

What's the estimated crowd looking at being, Rusty?

Will be a sellout. Come about 6.30pm I'd be surprised if you could still buy a single standing room ticket.

Will probably be about 49k.

why wouldnt you get off the train at southern Cross?

[danzan22]

I managed to get 5 tickets on the 2nd level 2 days ago, ticketmaster sound like there doing some dodgy business if the op could only get level 3 2 days before me.

[RustyHawk]

I managed to get 5 tickets on the 2nd level 2 days ago, ticketmaster sound like there doing some dodgy business if the op could only get level 3 2 days before me.

Not necessarily.

Sounds like you got part of a Functions Department allocation that hasnt been taken up.

Delaware North Corp = Telstra Dome caterers would need to know how many dinners for each of the function rooms so they get the required food stuffs in by tomorrow (Friday). If Essendon only sell say 200 seats in a function room that seats 300 those remaining 100 seats are sent over to TM for sale.

[Legendary_No.19]

Section L3 32, row S,

Are these seats any good??

[Mitchell Madness]

Section L3 32, row S,

Are these seats any good??

boardering poor seating mate, however, since you have level 3 you do have the luxury hopefully of moving up a little... just dont take mine, front row on level 3

[RustyHawk]

Section L3 32, row S,

Are these seats any good??

Well.... lets see.... if you take a hankerchef you should be fine... they dont call it the "nose bleed" section for nothing!!

However on a brighter note your near the middle of the ground, city side facing the TV cameras and the Medallion Club.

[Legendary_No.19]

mmm hopefully ill be able to move up few rows doubt ppl will notice :P

[Not a Wellman]

why wouldnt you get off the train at southern Cross?

It hasn't let me. Twice this year they have had disturbances and haven't been able to get people to southern cross, don't be suprised if ya don't get there on time because of the disturbances. Wouldn't have this problem ever if we played at the G like you blokes.

[HFC082]

Just got my tickets. AFL member and ive got prime back row seats on level 3 ;)

yay

[kimbopen]

I can't understand why they limit the release of seating - why don't they make EVERY available seat in the joint for sale on the same day?

It would make for much happier punters.

[ricta]

Went to purchase the tickets today, expecting a fair amount available. Seats together ar eonly available on level 3, all others are sold, or single seats....

If your going with mates, get them now!

were able to get seats together on level 2 this morning, on the wing :thumbsu:

[Mitchell Madness]

Dodgey dealings at the TD i swear! unless they release more at different times:( oh well, im sitting front row on level 3, so it isnt too bad.

[HFC082]

didnt see that there kimbo.

you are 100% spot on! only thing i can think is the home team being dodgey.

They arent going to offer up too many medalion seats due to the price, and the other level 2 seats are just as good. they probably indicate to the TD that they need them to be reserved... in other words, save these seats til later on, less chance of the other teams filthy mungas from getting them - bit farfetched, still possible:P

[Mervyn Beasley]

I was having a friendly chat to the lady at ticketmaster and she reckons they never know whats going on. Diff seats get released at different times and are different prices for different games.

Apart from the fact that I hate Ess and Collingwood I almost feel sorry for them given the crap thay have got to go thru to go and see their teasm play.

Please note I only said almost!!!!

[Psycosis]

i personally hate the T.D, how stupid are the AFL to play us againist the bombers there:mad:

[Hawks1523]

Is it possible to rock up and get a general admission, and go to aisle 36 with the M10 blokes. Or do I need Level 1 premium general admission whatever it is? Or is rocking up to buy a ticket tonight pointless? :eek:

[Hawks1523]

Anyone? :D

[Mitchell Madness]

Anyone? :D

if standing, you need a general admin ticket. Dont rely on buying them tonight, go into a ticketmaster dealer near you and get them first.

[Hawks1523]

Best get off my ass and get to ticketmaster then! :thumbsu:

[deathevocation]

Was right behind the Essendon cheersquad. They have a third rate "grog squad" in the standing area which produced the worst chants I've ever heard at a football game. Embarrassing.

They are useless supporters all round

Some guy near half time yells out "Ryder has Buddy's measure"

When he has kicked 7.1....

[RustyHawk]

The game was a sell out.

The only seats left where limited view seats and standing room tickets subject to availability.

Of the missing 6,000 most where Essendon supporters who have pre booked seats that decided going away for the long weekend was better than watching Essendon getting thrashed by the hated Hawthorn.

At one stage about 1/4 to 7 the call went over the radio to tell the spruikers the best gate to gain entry was Gate 1. The Gate 1 team leader then gets on the radio and says you've got to be kidding he says.. my queque runs 100m past the barriers... the control room replies... that therefore makes yours the shortest of all the lines! Must have been alotta people out there.
