Grand Final non-football thread (inc tickets)

[Section 5]

Q34 Row O

Not the section or row that i was expecting going on their map.
Overall, pretty happy it ended up behind the goals.
At least my old eyes can see one very important area of our game.

All excited now seeing the seating now finalized.

 

[LongLion]

M34 Ponsford end behind the point posts Row S. Other end same position last year

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

SQ11, Row H for me.

Same Row Z.
Your shout 1st

 

[GabbaGirl]

Q52 row L - Level 4 front, bet ya row M is Level 4 mid at $50 less a ticket

Nope we are row O supposedly Level 4 “front”. Oh well, they sound like good seats and we’re closer than we were last year.

 

[candiceanthea]

Level 1 goal concession?

Yes you are right! I misread. I am M34, row D behind the goals.

 

[rbcf]

Can anyone confirm which end of the ground the Lions cheersquad will be?

 

[M Malice]

Heard this morning there was over 20k who registered for the ballot this year

Would all of those been September members?

 

[RoyBoy17]

Nice you're a few rows in front of me. I think these are good seats.

Yeh very good seats!

 

[JasRulz63]

Q55 row HH. Not too far from the top . No complaints, just glad to get a ticket!

 

[Zacs_Magic_Tooth]

I got tickets but have a few gripes with the approach. Marketing P2 to non-members at the end of H&A seems wrong to the people who paid up at the start now that it isn’t a guarantee. Allowing Ticketek to accept $6 from P3 members knowing they have no chance but not informing members of that is just criminal

No. Anecdotally plenty of P2 tickets issued.

Fair to be grumpy with late season memberships, but P2 was never guaranteed. Only P1 (September membership) is “guaranteed”, and it costs an extra $100 on top of your membership fee.

 

[Section 5]

N3 - looking at the view on the MCG site, I guess that's Level 2?

Looks like you hit the jackpot there my very very best friend that is completely okay with swapping seats
The only N3 that comes up for me is Row D

You can be a P2 September Member depending on membership type. $75 per membership.

If anyone is selling a standing ticket (after two) please let me know! I got mine in the ballot but after a couple for my partner and best mate.

That is very close to where we were sitting Saturday evening(we were front row), fantastic seats.

Fair enough, but this is then an upgrade into P2 ticket access from P3.
P2 is included in a lot of season memberships categories - more than the club’s GF ticket allocation.

…but again, i empathise with your frustration if the club is offering discounted late season memberships with P2 access.

 

[JasRulz63]

Needing a sanity check on this. Taking an 8 month old to the Grand Final. Crazy right?

I don’t disagree with anything you raise, I just don’t like the lack of transparency

it wouldn’t be my choice - but i flew to Europe and back multiple times with infants so sometimes these things are unavoidable!
Invest in some baby headphones if you have to do it, be prepared to get a pass-out of the ground if it gets too much… but you know your baby!

Gutted; based off what was debited, thought we were level 2 only to wind up with bloody level 1 section 34 Ponsford end.

I hate nothing more than being level 1 and even worse behind the goals. Facking Ticketek.

Anyone know of corporate seats available; would happily pay thousands than sit in these seats.

There was a Collingwood supporter offer 7x$2000 packages on here somewhere.

 

[Caiphus]

Q29 row N - in front of the scoreboard. Level 4 directly above the ground level seats where I was last year. Is it completely roofless there or does the screen have shading above it?

What is your section and row ? or are you standing

Great seats looking down the ground. That was my seats on Saturday.
