I know it's a tad early, but can anyone confirm the AFL silver club support window being 9 to 12? The afl members site has it listed as 11 to 1.

$81 for lower.. A lot of coin to spend most of the day looking at a screen.

Good atmosphere but awful venue to watch footy..

 

[woodyman]

If anyone has a spare GFC membership code they wont be using this week please pm me. Thanks.

 

[JohnZ]

If anyone has a spare AFL membership code, I'd love to hear from you. Thought the guesting rights would be 6 like v Hawthorn, but they're 4 and I'm in a pickle with the MIL.

 

[Shell]

Yeah I got a question.

Will the ****ing ticketek website withstand the onslaught that will come tomorrow at 9am.

AFL members are Wednesday 9am, I feel blessed.

edit: No, no they won't. The tiger army is out and about, Cats fans, the benefit you have is there'll be about 35k seats set aside for you, and hopefully it won't clunk out on you.

I've had 100% success rate getting the cheap level one tickets.

I remember ppl on here having a nightmare of a time getting prelim tix last year... I had mine within a few mins.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow..

 

[Shell]

If i do miss out on those tho, I think back up will be $58 front of the GSS.

 

[Shell]

I honestly do not understand that pricing structure. You got pink on Level 1 and you got pink at the BACK and middle of up the top.

The srs ****.

 

[Zuta]

Is there an option to buy standing room? All I see is Cat 7.

It's only pink around one of the cheer squads - so the question is, do they not like the Geelong or Richmond cheer squads?

 

[kickazz]

I'm assuming it's one ticket per GFC membership?

 

[JohnZ]

I'm assuming it's one ticket per GFC membership?

From memory, if you had at least one cats ticket, you could buy more during the presale. Worth a shot.

Geelong cheer squad will be in the Ponsford stand.

Certainly was the case, but this will be a high demand game.

 

[Tkoajd]

Can someone help me with info. I'm an afl member and my kids are Geelong members. Im trying to work out what's the best option to all purchase seats together. Any advice would be good.

AFL members can buy 2 guest passes Level 4 Rows A to T or 4 guest passes Level 4 Rows U and further back. Tickets go on sale Wednesday 9am. Junior guest passes are $15 or $22 depending on where you sit. (I'm assuming you only have one membership).

I know this is an odd ask, but if you have less then 4 guests going with you, and you plan on buying tickets at 9am, could I borrow (pm) your barcode number after you've bought your tickets. I'm one guest pass short, thought I was going to be allowed 6 like last year, but this year it's 4.

edit: Also, any other questions feel free to ask me.

They haven't learnt from previous years selling Guest Passes to the only MCG Final in week 1.
