Same, at first it went funky on me, but then I got through.
Now we wait.... first win the Prelim, then hopefully strike gold with the ballot.

Irrespective I'll be at Punt Road worst case!

yup need to check out training times, is it on the website?

 

[Tigers123]

I received a confirmation email immediately and I'm P2. A few others have said they ha entirely though, and RFC official has said it's not a huge concern but has recommended contacting the club

Nevermind, went to a different email to the login to the Ticketek account (used dads). Thanks for the help mate

That was only for the person who had had the free withdrawn from their card. In individual cases, check your junk folder, if it's not there, email membership@richmondfc.com.au so they can check it with Ticketek please.

So im assuming considering it is a random ballot that it won't matter what time I enter the ballot between 5-9pm?
Not that I think I will have much chance of scoring a ticket being priority 3

 

[RFC_Official]

Know anything about this RFC_Official Walshawk ?

Sorry, I haven't been able to get a definitive answer on this. From those who have commented it seems you can. I can't see it having an impact on your P2 registration that is already in.

Because I load myself up with full strength beer at the bar before I get to my seat, topping up at each break!

Works a treat

TIVVVVVAAAAAA!

Correct, time has no bearing, as long as it's lodged by 9pm.

 

[Walshawk]

So I'm an MCC restricted member (have been since I was 18, I'm now 31). Can't access the GF ballot that was as I'm not a FULL MCC member.

So every year I take out the MCC Tiger membership as I want to still support my team & club, and I'm considered GOLD status due to consecutive years of membership.

However when I went to book I realised there's no barcode on my membership card, rang the club, have been told that I'm not eligible to buy finals tickets with my membership via ticketek, thus ruling out my chances of getting a GF ticked

Only hope is on the day MCC being opened up last minute to RESTRICTED MCC or I'm going to have to find scalper/drop a bomb on a corporate package.

Ah well

Sounds like you have a different membership structure to most other clubs. The only thing I ever look at when deciding what level of membership to get is access to GF tickets. Gold, Silver, Kennedy, Legend, does not matter where you sit or what they call it. Neither of our clubs really needs our money. It is all about GF tickets.
BTW, your P1 will sell out next year in 24 hours (like the Doggies did), so be quick. Since 2008, we have had a waiting list. Get in early. Buy now if the club will let you.

And then at 3/4 time i like to walk around and join the grog sqaud with a drink in hand... its great for finals aswell just walk in no trying to get a ticket online at 9am

 

[scarecrow2k1]

TIVVVVVAAAAAA!

This explains why Greg Tivendale always heads to the North board and cops a thread ban

For future, get the $90 RFC/MCC membership. Gets you a reserved seat in 3121 seating for our Etihad home game and also access to their pre match function, then gives you a barcode and finals access too.

I'm restricted and have this membership too

im with you mate, but if you don't put ya name down you definitely have no chance. apparently it doesn't matter what time you put your number in but as you said its probably going to be a donation to ticketek "handling fees" from us mate

 

[Slipps]

MCC has nothing to do with RFC

Well you do join your mcc and rfc memberships together i just picked the wrong one without knowing...

 

[Ned_Flanders]

they are not really "joined" though, you are paying one for partial recognition with the other

 

[BC9_]

Well it is marketed as a "dual" membership... it's just unlucky and perhaps unfair that the MCC do not make it clear enough that there's no GF ballot access with this "dual" MCC RFC Membership. The MCC want to maximise such sales. I'd be pissed off if I used such a membership option for 5-10+ years and still didn't get RFC Club access...

 

[rfc4eva]

Does anyone know how the allocation works? Do P1 get category 1 and then work there way down each category until category 7?

I get that, and double checking what you get is important.

 

[BC9_]

Absolutely

I was close to getting this dual membership but decided against it, and kept my Richmond membership entirely separate so there are clear $$$$ going to the RFC and not a single cent more than is necessary to the MCC.

 

[Maroo]

No. It's random.

P1 definitely get allocated first, but it doesn't automatically give them the best seats.

 

[Cotcho]

This thread feels like the biggest jynx ever lol

 

[Richo is God]

Am I correct in what I have heard that clubs are limited to selling 15k GF guarantees, so if each club gets 17k assuming every P1 person takes up a ticket (which they won't) it leaves 2,000 for P2/3 ???

There are 17-21k tickets allocated depending on opposition so p.2 members could have anywhere from 5-9k tickets.

It's a shame we can't play GWS otherwise chances of p2 getting a ticket would nearly double

 

[mcuzzy]

Longest day of my life but finally have two tickets in the ballot

 

[Punt rd end]

Well that was painless, hopefully a miracle happens and I get a single ticket if we make it

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

good luck to you all in the ballot should we make the big 1

 

[mcuzzy]

If I have no luck in the ballot, I don't intend on giving up.

What are the alternatives after that? Just scalpers?
