Finals Talk 2025

[Section 5]

The Lions have not oversold priority 1 tickets.

The article link post 221 mentions this.

Also, your confirmation email states:
"Priority 1 Member Allocation - There are sufficient tickets to cover all members in this group who register. Should Brisbane Lions play, you will be allocated a ticket (subject to payment being approved and ticket preference selected at time of registration).

I updated my Ticketek visa details this morning before the ballot.
Everything seemed to go through, I'm in the ballot. Considering my first given name on my Lions membership is a shortened version as to the one on my bank visa account and what you said.
I just checked with the Lions membership and was told the Grand final tickets are all done through Ticketek.
As I said ticketek have the correct details ,so hopefully I'm all good.
Let's just say the letter n was involved, you's can figure it out

Good job Nick

In the 2023 GF, we had fewer attending and looking at the priorities and where people got it pretty clearly went:

• P1 filled up the first few tiers, with a handful in each held over.
• P2 got whatever was left of the top tiers and then largely filled up the next tiers.
• P3 got the bottom tiers including standing room.

It looked like the ballot retains a certain number of each tier for the lower priority lists but it's definitely a much smaller quota and broadly speaking it filled from top down.

I was P1 and got friggin first row in front of standing room last year. Still worth it to see the win obviously. Had grouse seats the year before 4 rows back from the fence right behind Bailey when he kicked those two incredible goals.

Must have swapped with me, had the row in front of standing room behind the goals in 2023 and second row from the fence in the forward pocket last year.

Swings and roundabouts. Those seats should not be regarded as top tier with the max price allocated to them though.

Shirley it's not possible?

Shirley it's not possible?

If we win this weekend, and Lachie can train all through next week then he is a strong chance to get selected. if he wins another premiership medal and has 4 months recovery while the calf he further injured by playing through the pain in the GF, he will have no regrets!

P1 and had the row in front of Collingwood standing room in 2023 - still bear the scars of that. Had row c last year next to the cheer squad which turned out pretty good!

Picked up a couple of great last-minute tickets for Cats vs Hawks tonight. Heading in to scout the oppo for Fages.

Let's get a cam on you like they did for Marcus Ashcroft last saturday night.

Shirley actually looking half decent in that vision.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Shirley actually looking half decent in that vision.

and his quad injury has had another 3 weeks so should be fully recovered
Still, calves are bloody iffy - a final is so intense; you can never quite replicate that on the training track.
Will be a gamble either way if we're in the granny and he says he's good to go.

Pain isn't the issue though its the fact it could go literally at any moment. I thought he looked a bit underdone against the cats in all honesty, if we make it and he plays he'll played just over half a game in about 8 weeks.

I haven't changed my mind, no way Lachie can play in the GF if we make it, too big a risk he'd do his calf again in an early high intensity effort.

He is also likely to be holding back a little re his explosiveness as it is only natural he would be protective of it, even if it's only subconsciously.

 

[Section 5]

Scott arguing against the rules when it suits him.
Stewart may have been okay to play in 2 weeks' time, but it could also be 3 weeks plus.
I am sure the club would run out the "players welfare is always our concern"
If there was a break between the PF and GF and Geelong lost the GF with Stewart playing, he would probably be against the week off.
It is also an extra week for some injury to happen at training or at home.
It is what it is and if they change the rules in future so be it.

Sorry if this has been answered already. But where is the card on file that they will automatically take the funds from for the GF ticket?
Im looking through Ticketek and I cant find anywhere that mentions a card on file.
I used my card to pay the $6 fee. Will it use that card?

I unfortunately couldn't go last year. I went in 2023 but cant really remember the process from back then.

It's the card you paid the $6 fee on. If you need to change that, you'll need to contact the club.

I didn’t enter a card, can’t remember doing it previously either
Think it’s the card they took the booking fee from.

 

[trikster]

If I signed up for the ballot but can’t actually go this year is there a way to withdraw from the ballot so it goes to another fan or will I have to just onsell it at cost price.

I'm happy to buy it if you are unable to go ..... anyone got a suitable begging gif they can include for me please please pretty please.
