Yep,
It only took about 1 1/2 hours to sell the remaining 14,000 tickets. We need a 50,000 stadium in perth, no doubts about it.
I am in row A block 121. Not the greatest seats but good enough,i wouldn't miss this game for the world!;)

I'm really sorry to hear this :(
there were mixed messages going around. I heard on 6PR that it was sold out. I gave up, but my husband persevered with his mobile phone.
He got through and got us 3 seats in row 323. He spoke to a computer, so I wont believe there wasn't a 'mix-up' until I physically see the tickets.
Looks like they allocated different tickets to different outlets etc?
I hope you do get some tickets, some how!

keep an eye out on ebay as well. I bet there's been quite a few people who have ended up 'doubling up' to make sure they got seats (eg. had more than one person calling and more than one of them get through). There's some Brisbane/Collingwood tickets there now, so I imagine some Dockers ones could show up.

Well at about 10:30am all tickets to the general public had sold out, according to ticketmaster7 on the net. There was some restricted viewing seats left for like 10 minutes then the rest of those sold out too

I think they had limited numbers on the net. We didn't get ours until after that message went up. I know others had the same thing happen.
If the worst comes to the worst it will be Sydney or Adelaide next week ;) surely they wont sell out Stadium Oz.

Havn't been a member since Drummy was lobbed on us. Won't get caught next year but. Not a lot of advantages being up here and only getting to one or two games a year.

I'm devastated. I was going to buy them Monday or Tuesday but my girlfirend wanted to go, so I waited. :(

I'm sooo sorry Docker Brat! it shows there's some really passionate supporters who are missing out...just a lucky phone call has us there.
I will be really ****ed if I am sitting next to people who don't even open their mouths the whole game, or yell out "Come on number 8!"

Tell them they have our seats!
Good Omen I was tossing up whether to go to this one or take the risk and go to the next one. God obviously wants me to go to Sydney or Adelaide. ;)

Great way of looking at it! how long would it take to drive? perhaps you could start Friday night, listen to the game on the radio, have a fun week in Sydney? :)

Those types will be there.. otherwise how else can it be a sell out. Spewin' :mad:
My girlfriend said she felt guilty and kept apologising, but I couldn't reply. :(
In hindsight, I could've said "get stuffed" and got my ticket anyway. Things we do for love.

The upside is, I'll have more money to put towards a trip if we play away. :)

Was thinking the same thing.
Good luck with finding the tickets, Ripper.

Yep, saw it. Great ad, wrong message. FFC should borrow it for next year's membership campaign.

No - they were either too slow in getting them or just missed out cause they aint members

GAWD I can't believe how thick you are, there are more members than tickets available.
Ask your fellow members who missed out on tickets.

More proof of your idiocy mantis.
For this weekend's game the Fremantle members had Monday and Tuesday to ring up and book tickets. Since the allocation to Essendon would have been very small and IIRC the Docker's membership is about 27-28,000 there would have been plenty of tickets to go around. If you're a member and you didn't get tickets its your own damn fault.
Then again I have a ticket and I'm an Eagles supporter & member because I'm going with a bunch of Docker supporting mates that I often go with to see Freo play. The _Dudd might want to burn my Eagles membership for that but he can get stuffed. If I had unlimited cash I'd be going to Adelaide for the weekend but you can't have everything...
