News Finals Ticketing Thread

[Mancey]

got block 125, row v, put in the option for best available and ended up with platinum seats for 85 a piece
Still, look like good seats and something different from my usual 3 tier stand seats.
Hope everyone who wanted tickets has been able to get some.

Pretty much the whole ground is Platinum. There was some gold, but they were like 8 bucks cheaper for worse seats, why bother.

Cop it in the arse and enjoy yourself is my motto

[Coledinho]

I somehow ended up with gold despite not wanting them. FML

Anyone know where I can get some binoculars btw? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated? Was thinking BCF or something?

I usually sit in block 135, which means when it's sunny, you leave with singed retinas but I got block 150 for this match so should be good. $85

 

[JohnW]

Any idea on if a confirmation email will be sent when using phone system?
Cant see any charge on the CC yet.
Did get a confirmation number though.
Any one else used the phone system before?

What time does the sun start coming in/staying strong

Do you have a decent view or what?

I sit one row back from the fence so when the ball goes past the center, or far on the members wing, you can't see a great deal and have to depend on the screens a bit. If you're further back from the fence you would see a lot more.

Re: the sun, I'm used to the 2:40 starts, its in your face from the start and it doesn't usually go beneath the western stand until the last quarter. If its overcast, it's no problem but if it's really clear it can really suck. Make sure you have a hat and good sunnies or it's unbearable.

Got tickets in block 149. Considering the tickets are platinum and just about the whole ground is platinum, I would have liked to get a bit further around on the wing. They're premium seats during the home and away season so should be good.

 

[W.C. Fry]

Any advice please, as to the trick to getting blocks 100-107.
Choosing Best Avalaible, I am only being repeatedly offered block 110.
I am using NMFC membership barcodes mind you, maybe they are trying to segregate us!? :/

Block 110 is where the North Melbourne players race will be. For finals they place opposition supporters around the race so no feral eagles supporters abuse Tom Hawkins or whoever else might be getting carried off the ground.

 

[75Cardies]

Am noteholder got block 321 originally was 151 but in case it rained didn't want to sit there and prefer watching higher up.

Subiaco has no business charging platinum for anything. Disgrace of a ground.

all worked fine however no sign of tickets emailed any time soon 3 hours after the event (despite express ticket option checked)

 

[Mancey]

I doubt anyone will get their tickets until all the allocations have been sorted out (ITW etc)

Patience grasshoppers. If you have a confirmation email you are sweet

 

[J_M_J]

Block 119!

Good, good. I had city end tix for the away derby and experienced that dreaded sun first hand. Do not want!

 

[Spuddage]

Leave some tickets for us in the wings members!

 

[mick06]

how does it work? do they split the member tickets 50/50 so we sell all ours and north sells 16 of theirs and then the rest of their allocation is made available to public, or is there just a members pool and first in best dressed for each club?

That's taking the piss surely, I mean, that would assume every NM member purchases a ticket and flies over!

[royalsfan]

No problems getting tickets - although we didn't like the first allocation and so had to do thru the whole buysiness of entering 7 X 12 digit barcodes again. In Block 135 as we wanted to be near the Eagles race as we usually sit at Subi end of the ground. Sun may be a worry though after reading some of the comments on here. Whatever, will just have to wear sunscreen, sunnies and a hat. All good.

Well I haven't heard of anyone missing out on tickets yet if they're a member. So I'm assuming first in best dressed etc

Do you have a horse float for transportation?

 

[Mancey]

Can she come to lunch with us?

Does the vic serve oats?

 

[The Dodger]

Wow who would've thought that they could release tickets for standing room only in the pisser and still class it as Platinum?
Subiaco you are a shrewd place of business.

 

[Impunity!]

WTF? Sooz is not a horse. Never has been.

Its the afls doing. They are responsible for all finals ticketing.

Tiny ground + captive audience + boom town = arse reaming
