Just read the letter the eagles have sent out to members announcing that gf tickets are all by ballot.
05 we had to line up outside subi after the prelim. It wasn't the best way of doing things.
06 we were able to phone up and book. First in first served. Seemed to work pretty well.
Now we have to pay $5 before the prelim for each seat we want, and we don't get anything back if we don't make it or your ballot isn't succesful. Just seems like another money grab from the AFL / WCE.
Throws up more problems... Before if you got a ticket you really, really wanted to go and pretty much wouldn't have wasted your time if you were not going to go. Now even if you don't want to go you can easily apply for the ballot. If you get a ticket "PROFIT", scalp it off to anyone, while a member who is dying to go will miss out.
Pretty much think its a crap system, will be letting the club know im not too happy about it.
