Well that's a package with add ons.

This is a $250 ticket somebody is trying to mark up to cover the cost of their annual membership. Gross.

I didn't say it's good but I'm a realist..

Package with add ons is just legalised scalping.

Those "packages" should be seats in the ballot going for the listed price. Instead, the AFL sells them for 4-10x face price. Joke

Each club does get 1000 tickets. So that's 18,000 packages. It's how they make money.

Now onto my latest ticketek hate fest. On the phone at 10 a.m. sharp for disability park/ yarra park.
At 10.01 they said all sold out. Basically impossible, so those parks were severely limited I'd say.
Anyway, does anyone park in Crown Casino? and then would be tram or taxi down Flinders?
Sorry to be a bother but trying to think of Plan B.

If it’s an AFL Membership (I don’t know if club members have access to either wing - but AFL Members have access to Shane Warne Stand wing), the face value for the ticket was $249.

Plus there is the risk you’ll be stopped and asked for ID that matches the name of the member that booked the ticket.

Would not advise.

I can attest that you need to be very very careful when buying AFL Members tickers as I was seconds from disaster at the 2009 Grand Final.

As we walked up the the gate I heard someone say "Can I please see you membership?" to the guy 3m in front of me. Thankfully I had read about the possibility of checks and was able to react quick enough to drag my mum off to the side while shitting myself.

Then I noticed that because we were there so bloody early, it was one guy checking the entire gate, so we just gave him a wide berth, walked in with no issue and thoroughly enjoyed the day

True but we all know the AFL is corrupt.

Doesn't mean the fans should follow suit.

If nobody paid their extortion they'd have to sell at face value.

From crown you'd need to get over to Flinders for a tram. It's a hike. Isn't there parking at tennis complex? Much closer.

Throwing different ideas out there and no idea how helpful (or not) they are:

• Is there parking available at Melbourne Park, the tennis precinct?
• I know there's parking at Fed Square, but not sure if that can be pre-booked. From there you should be able to get a train or tram

Thanks to you and Munich great minds think alike. They were asking for bookings as well, thought sold out but I'll go back and see if any left. Maybe just have to go to a Wilsons city car park and go from there.
Just thinking trying to get back will be horrendous with the chair, need a particular tram. Will be OK will find something.

Cheers for the heads up - I've been trying to monitor sale & purchase posts, and where it's clear anything is going beyond the 10% permitted increase on face value, action is being taken as per the stickied post

Those of us lucky enough to have tickets aren't kidding ourselves when it comes to understanding how much folks without tickets want to get their hands on some - but we don't want to see others taken advantage of, nor others potentially starting bidding war type situations

Thank you to all our board members for flagging potential concerns which we've turned been able to take action where required

Just want to give a big thanks to cats_09 (and other mods) who are busy during this ticket desperation/ scalping period! Thanks for all the helpful info they provide

According to survey results, about 60% of P2 members were successful in the ballot. Which is much higher than I would have expected.

Maybe BF post count is taken into consideration when giving out those tickets.

I went on the app at 10am and was able to get a pass. There were definitely very limited numbers. They were only selling passes for Gate 5, all other gates came up as sold out from the start.

In future years there doesn’t appear any point in including Priority 3 members in the ballot - particularly if membership volumes increase and allocations don’t.
