Best way to secure Grand Final tickets? (currently not a member)

[NetworkNerd]

If they hold it at GMHBA no club members will be able to attend

Well Geelong has about 70k members. I spoke to the membership over the phone and they said about 30k are priority 3. So 40k members split between priority 1 and 2

20k, Its 40k between both teams I'm pretty sure, otherwise the math doesn't add up

Considering whether it’s worth purchasing a membership ($160) this late for the sole purpose of getting a GF ticket should my team compete.

Any help/experience appreciated!

Thank you

Regardless, it looks as though Geelong AFL memberships are no longer on sale. Just AFLW.

I'm sorry, you've left your run way too late.

As a Geelong fan, you can usually buy a Guaranteed Grand Final access ticket sometime in June/July if the side looks the goods. That's what I've done for the last ten years. It's cost me a fair bit of coin to go to just one Grand Final that I would have been able to buy GA tickets to anyway...

Your best bet imo is to pony up to an AFL Member with Gold status of a competing club and hope theyr either don't use their barcode or have another ticket to use. Yes it's a risk if they check ID but it's very small.

AFL Gold members with competing club support are pretty much guaranteed access.

Just be aware, thanks

Hey guys,
I've never been to a Grand Final before and also never had a membership. I understand it is very hard to secure a ticket without being one. Is it possible to become a member this late and get at least Priority 2 access to buy GF tickets?

I know there is a public reserve sale, but from my understanding it is very unlikely to secure a ticket this way and also most likely to get quite an average seat...

What other options do I have?
Buy off a scalper?
Can you queue up outside a ticketing agency and purchase tickets in person?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Ring up the interstate clubs not participating in the week of the game and see if they have any remaining allocation to sell. In the past ive got some tickets on the cheap this way.

I managed to get one of the $1300 AFL packages in 2016. It helped that one team was interstate. I believe they normally sell out weeks before but I got mine just after the PF siren.

Got me dinner the night before at a function, some trinkets and an average seat.

Glad we won.

In hindsight I would have gone the Marvel package. Similar price but a breakfast instead of dinner the night before, which I wasn't in the mood for.

PS. I'm normally an AFL gold member but suspended my membership that year as I was working overseas. FML.

Self insurance.
Put aside some money (say $100-200) each year so that when that lucky day comes around that your team is in the Grand Final that you have the lump sum available to pay the AFL's extortionate price for a ticket package.
Just to be on the safe side you should start twenty years ago...

 

[W.C. Fry]

Just out of curiosity, what kind of seats do you get for those packages?

We got standing room at back of M50 for the 2015 GF. Got in early to get the front step. Seats directly in front of us were those AFL packages. The guy in front of us wasn't happy Probably a $2k difference for the seat and a breakfast.

Electronic tickets.
Then secure your mobile in your inside jacket pocket.

If you must print them to satisfy your paper fetish, place them next to the mobile in your inside jacket pocket.

Back your team as early as you can to make the GF.. $100 investment will go long way to cover ticket cost

I put an ad in the paper in 2005. Ended up getting 100+ phone calls across 2 or 3 days, but managed to get a ticket

When Hawthorn aren’t playing I buy a NM GF breakfast package. Prices jumped quite a bit this year.
