With the tigs one win away from the unthinkable, how long until the whinging start when supporters realised that their three game and/or pet membership doesn't entitle them to a guaranteed GF ticket.

Is the GF going to be played at Simonds Stadium?
The club promised me mine does.With the tigs one win away from the unthinkable, how long until the whinging start when supporters realised that their three game and/or pet membership doesn't entitle them to a guaranteed GF ticket.
At least we have reason to do so, you post bait to stay relevant over the off-seasonGeelong fans will be whinging in this thread to no doubt

A crows member at work got asked by the club if he wanted to upgrade to gold a couple of weeks ago.....gets him in if they make the GF (obviously still has to buy the ticket)
Told him he is nuts if he doesn't
He did
I'm presuming it had something to do with the afl saying a few weeks ago that there will be more tickets for members this year??

No. The club/AFL making more money. Theoretically Adelaide could sell as many gauranteed grand finals tickets as their total GF allocation. 15k or something like that.A crows member at work got asked by the club if he wanted to upgrade to gold a couple of weeks ago.....gets him in if they make the GF (obviously still has to buy the ticket)

Pet membership should guarantee entry, another farce from the corrupt AFL.
Pertinent thread. Got some questions to those that have had their teams in the grand final before:
If the second is common it seems to me particularly outrageous. Just say 60k of our members, 40k of Adelaide's, 20k of Sydney's and 5k of GWS' register (no offence meant Cats or Eagle - just quoted for example). That's $625,000 spent just for registering! With 3 interstate teams!
- As Tiger members we're being asked to register this week for GF tickets. Is this usual for the final four clubs (would have been next week if we had to play a semi final), or are the Tigers just full of hubris?
- Apparently we have to pay a non-refundable $5 fee to register (whether we get tickets or not). Again, is this standard?
http://www.afl.com.au/tickets/grandfinal/eligibilityRichmond and Geelong on Friday got 95000. Thus the stadium didn't fill entirely. Everyone who theoretically wanted to go could. Even a tourist from Russia could've gone.
Now come GF Day those same people will not have access. Why? Who is going on GF Day that didn't go Friday. There is the problem with the allocation.
http://www.afl.com.au/tickets/grandfinal/eligibility
Total 100,000 (approx)
- Competing Club Members 16,000 - 35,000
- AFL Clubs (18) 0 - 10,000
- MCC Reserve 16,000 - 26,000
- AFL Members 13,000 - 23,000
- AFL/Medallion Club Members 3,000 - 5,000
- AFL Entitlements/Contractual Obligation 5,000 - 30,000
- Competing Clubs 0 - 5,000
The biggest one for me is section 6. That's where I'm guessing all the corporates get allocated their tickets.
It's illegal to sell grand final tickets via eBay etc....I'm unlikely to get a ticket via the Richmond members ballet, would paying a shitload on ebay be the only other way to get a GF ticket if we made it?
Hope that also make it illegal for
"Official onsellers" as well
Supporters should be aware it is illegal for a 2016 AFL Grand Final ticket to be sold, or offered or advertised for resale, for a premium on its own or as part of a package unless the seller is authorised in writing by the AFL.
The 2016 AFL Grand Final has been declared an event under the ticketing provisions (Part 9) of the Major Sporting Events Act 2009 to provide more transparent ticketing arrangements and fairer access for supporters to major events.
Breaching this Act by on-selling, distributing, or offering or advertising for resale, tickets without AFL authorisation can result in heavy fines in excess of $4660 for an individual and $46,600 for a company.
This is from last year, but it will be the same this year:
