Unofficial Preview Changes & discussion Qualifying Final 2023 v Port @ The Gabba

[dlanod]

Anyone interested in doing a preview for our first final please PM me.

Edit: thanks mpal6 ! If anyone else is still interested I'll also take expressions of interest for our second final, whoever and whenever that might be.

What can trick people up is when entering multiple barcodes.
From memory enter the first barcode and press "enter" on your PC keyboard. Whatever is the equivalent on Laptop/mobile/.
That should take you to next line.
Enter another barcode and so on until all are entered.
Basically one barcode per line
A MAXIMUM of 6 barcodes per transaction

Thinking of you Gadzorks from previous years. Good luck as from memory you have more than 6 barcodes.

I've gone straight to stress hell.

Home final should be - do you want your normal seats? Yes or no, enter credit card details

 

[Section 5]

The email just sent from the lions say, you can purchase 3 tickets per membership and 10 tickets pertransaction.
So am I getting this right, I can purchase a further two tickets with my priority 1 membership.
That doesn't sound right , it's always been only 1 ticket per membership with your barcode?
but you've always been able to purchase other tickets if you had further barcodes and was restricted with the amount of tickets per transaction..

That is correct for week one. May change for week 2 & 3 i can't remember.
So yes, you can bring 2 guests.
Enter barcode and say select 3 adult/conc/jnr/ when prompted.

They do this with finals they don’t think will sell as well.

I remember distinctly in 2019 for example the Richmond QF was 1 tickets per membership, but the Giants SF a week later was basically a free for all as much as you want (got some extra tickets for friends).

The first game ...

Brisbane Lions 90 - 81 Port Adelaide

M.C.G. (VIC)
HGA:

+1.4 pts
Ins/Outs:

+0.0 pts



but it still has the GF wrong...

Brisbane Lions 76 - 77 Melbourne

M.C.G. (VIC)
Win likelihood: 48.2% - 51.8%

Mind you a game where we are kept to just 76 we probably are losing ...

Just got through.

Certain memberships didn't work in the email.

[dlanod]

I swear you used to be able to pay to get your regular seats in finals, am I misremembering?

I think it was possible back in the day but ceased well before our current run of finals appearances.

 

[LongLion]

Pardon the intrusion. Congratulations on securing the home final.

My partner is a Lions supporter with a 3 game membership and the September Member add on. She is under the impression this should give her priority 1 access, however her email from the club says Priority 2. Would anyone know if this is correct?

Thanks in advance

It may have something to do with the level of membership e.g I am a premium member and therefore priority 1. It then goes to prime and standard memberships at lower prices.

as the sub time to bring the Champ back

 

[Scubaveg]

Only one change being Linc McCarthy into the side for Lohmann.
Sub most likely Lyons.

We will field our best team again bar Ashcroft.
The coaches may think Gunston but it would be a huge gamble after his recent injury.

If they want Gunston involved in some way when ready being sub could be an option.

And Adams.

Prices a little hard to read

Week 1 Gabba	Adult	Concession	Junior	Family
Cat 1	$96	$72	$29	$192
Cat 2	$78	$59	$23	$156
Cat 3	$63	$47	$19	$70
Cat 4	$35	$25	$10	$70

Edit: A $6.50 handling fee per transaction

Who cares, pick the seat you want and pay for it. It’s finals.

I am assuming you need a barcode for every ticket you want to purchase through the one transaction?

Then you don’t need the words 3 tickets per membership. You only need 10 tickets per transaction. I read it as a member can buy 3 tickets.

Just checked that process out.
My barcode is listed with letters in front.
So Gadzorks do not use the letters just the 12-digit numbers.

Also have a look at my "Ticketmaster" link in post 96 page 4.
This sets out the process of how to actually get the tickets.
The Lions account FAQ's is very basic and no real information on what to do after you log into ticketmaster.

Write down all your barcodes and have then ready.
A copy and paste to say a word document will save time if you know how to do that.

 

[rye]

its pretty incredible ticketmaster has a system that barely functions at an extremely uncomplicated task and has the gall to charge the consumer a $6.50 transaction fee

 

[Scubaveg]

This is actually nuts. There’s how many members? Multiple that by three and some members could miss out.

It’s such a outrage how expensive tickets (regular season and finals) are these days, not just for our match but all of other finals matches as well like surely the AFL should consider discounted prices for the St. Kilda vs GWS match at the MCG (other two MCG clashes will be sold out in a heartbeat before public access) as I can only imagine the crowd being 40-50k at most, given the current climate we live in.

Not even two years ago when I watched Brisbane play Melbourne in that QF over my end at Adelaide Oval, it only costed myself $60 (1x Adult + 1x Student Concession) for two tickets combined in Cat 3 seating, albeit it’s a different stadium of course and Brisbane are the hosting in their own state compared to the neutral atmosphere that occurred due to COVID.

Regardless though of my little rant, hopefully Brisbane can get the chocolates over the Power next Saturday Night and set us up nicely to win our first premiership in 20 years

I think it’s September Members. That what we pay for.

The AFL are pretty cluey in regard to price structure and what numbers they can get in regard to prices charged.
It is not 3 but two extra tickets for each member.
A lot of friends and relatives just won't pay the money being charged for finals. Also, all the finals are on FTA TV.

Let's see how many tickets get to go on sale to the general public for the game.
If any get to go on sale, then the AFL have got it right.
If no public tickets available then they got it wrong.

September membership is only for the Grand Final.
It is basically a donation to the club unless we make the Grand Final.

 

[RU_]

This is the one matchup I was afraid of.

Ports midfield in my opinion will decimate ours. Hopefully the backs and the forwards can hold the fort.

Decimate?

Decimate?

If we don’t beat Port Adelaide at clearances, we will lose emphatically to them
