Anyone received email confirming barcodes/priority group?

No.

However having just logged into the Cats Membership portal (which is just Ticketmaster under the hood) the barcodes that appear for week 1 to 3 of the finals are the very same we had all year as part of our memberships, which is how it's always been through the years.

Not sure why there is conjecture online that the AFL generates new ones on the fly. A barcode exists for the duration of a season per member. In years past when everyone got plastic cards and lanyards these barcodes were only ever regenerated if someone reported a membership card lost or stolen.

Anyone who is is a Premiership member, Social Club, or that newer 1859 offering are P1. Outside of that all members are P2. Again been this way for year and years.

I haven't received the email yet. And I just logged into the Cats Membership portal and below the Membership Barcode/s heading for weeks 1-3 of finals, there are no barcodes at all (I'm a premiership member)

Just logged into my Geelong Membership Barcode section and the numbers for the Grand Final ballot are there, but I haven't got an email stating that as yet.

Likewise still no email hours later, however the very same barcodes I saw earlier today that we used all season now appear under a heading of Priority 2 ballot. My comments still stand, same barcode is used for the life of the season.

If you have no codes appearing at all I'd be calling the club this afternoon, just incase it's something they need to escalate to have fixed.

 

[woodyman]

mine has been updated correctly online too - suspect we may get the emails soon

Following info about and online I decided I check out what was under my membership info on the app and it's really easy to find the info. The following is the steps I took

• Open the Geelong Cats app
• Click on the 3 dots on the bottom right; ... More option
• Select the 'Member Rewards' option
• Log in with your details as requested
• Click the 3 horizontal line and select 'Membership Barcode'

From there they have the info laid out really nicely, starting with info on the ballot details. That's followed with

'Please see below got 2025 Membership Barcode/s for the 2025 Toyota AFL Grand Final Ballot:

Priority 1 Membership Barcode/s

Priority 2 Membership Barcode/s

Priority 3 Membership Barcode/s

Priority 1 Accessible Membership Barcode/s

Priority 2 Accessible Membership Barcode/s

Priority 3 Accessible Membership Barcode/s'



And then under one of the above headings is your barcode - makes it really easy to identify which category your membership falls under

There's also a link to the Ticketek website that you can click on tomorrow during the registration period

Just off the phone with the club, emails to be sent out 'soon'. They're just making sure it's all good to go.

Thanks, I followed your instructions on the app, but it still wasn't showing any barcodes for the grand final ballot either, at any priority code level.

I rang the club just now to make sure everything was ok, and the membership woman said the AFL was just doing their final check of the barcodes now, before making them all available. She kindly texted me through my barcode, but she said it should be available soon via email/online/app too.

 

[Tony Barber]

Sadly no.. I’m booked to do Jimmy Kimmel live in Brooklyn … so I’ll be in a hotel room at 1 am til 5am then off to work for 13 hours.. if we get that far of course..

2 more wins

Go Catters

A week in Brooklyn.
Lets hope for a Fallon cross over again

 

[CatAttack84]

For those keen to know, the email just arrived to me. It should include all relevant barcodes and also advise people of the group those codes belong to.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

We got the email yay

 

[Munich]

Lol why is everyone stressing.

It's your usual barcode.

Cause it’s usually different

The original membership ballot info contained this.

"At that time, members who are successful in obtaining a Grand Final ticket will automatically be charged for tickets via Ticketek without prior notification of the transaction. You must ensure you have enough funds on your nominated credit card to pay for all registered tickets as there will be no follow up if your credit card declines.

I can't seem to find any cards details on my Ticketek account. I thought I just added details when purchasing a ticket in the past.

So I'm a bit confused

Any ideas anyone?

Hasn't been for me

You add them tomorrow during the registration.

Just make sure there's enough funds the weekend of our prelim (if we win).

I think they re-try cards that decline but better to be safe than sorry.

 

[Kaatman]

Thanks Munich

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Hasn't been for me

I’m just going off with what the person said that usually registers us for ballot.

 

[Hamingja]

Maybe I have a bad memory but it appears the MCC are doing the ballot a week earlier this year than usual?

That makes it annoying with both Pies and Hawks still alive.

 

[Alex Matt]

MCC are always this week too.

 

[Alex Matt]

Has anyone here managed to snag a GF ticket with priority 3 membership? I’ve got Full MCC but the rest of the family are only P3 GFC members.

 

[Hamingja]

MCC are always this week too.

Could have sworn it was the next week last year as I was cheering on Port to beat Hawks to lessen the number of people who would go in the ballot

 

[Seeds]

If you are priority 1 are you guaranteed a ticket if you select no to standing zone?

Im perfectly fine with standing room but i have small kids who would not see with standing room.

That is not a description of easy steps.
