Grand final tickets

[inwhiterooms]

Hey guys, i understand i'm definitely jumping the gun a week early but say if we were fortunate enough to knock the dogs over friday night is it possible for a non GFC/AFL member to get tickets? Is there a limited number of tickets which are allocated to the general public or are they all for members?

Your options are official packages and scalpers.

Is that seriously my only option?

It's nigh on impossible for a member to get a ticket - let alone a non-member.

Scalper/corporate package is your only option, yes.

What are these packages you speak of? What sort of price would these be fetching?

Yes, just ask the MEMBERS that missed out on the ballot last year and probably will again this year (should be make it)

Centre Square over $1000

Membership is the best way to get one. Unless you wanna fork out in excess of $1000 for a ticket.

I figured it'd be nigh impossible. Just wanted to ask you guys to make sure. Thanks for the replies. Go cats!

At least a lot of you would only have to fork out for the over priced tickets, living in or near Melbourne. I'd have to do that, then fork out to travel 1000km and then for accommodation. Can't see how I could make the GF for under a grand, and that sucks balls coz I can just not afford that.

The travel agent in Moorabool Street opposite Market Square is advertising grand final packages. Didn't read the entire thing, but the package included two nights in a swank hotel in Melbourne, plus tickets to the game itself, and a list of about 5 or 6 other things (grand final breakfast might have been another one). I noticed the cost of the package was somewhere in the vicinty of $2,300 though.

That is bordering on a language other than English.

He has the internet and resembles some english, give him that. Least his IQ is higher than the average bulldog supporter.

Minimum for a package is $1,200 - http://www.atfs.com.au/afl.html

Plenty of leads on Google, but this is the cheapest I found when looking last week.

Centre Square is 2k

I made the mistake last year of not renewing my membership and having to go through the drama of pasting a request on e-bay and opening myself up to scalpers offers. Lucky for me i got walked through the pass out gate by a scalper into G.A for $150 Best money i have EVER spent
I was fielding offers of between $600 for a lone seat on level 3 up to the package deal for $2000 the night before the big dance.
This year i made sure i signed up and now we wait for the ballot draw. Hope to G. Ablett snr that i get a tix this year or it's off to e-bay again......

its called a spelling mistake much like your birth, and the fact you live in south australia

Haha, that is gold. I'm curious, how does that work?

Cheers

He saw the ad i put on e-bay looking for a ticket; rang me explaining he had a G.A tix avail for sale. He met me outside of the ground 2 hrs b4 the start with 2 tix and 2 passouts ( i guessing he "borrowed one off a mate") He walks me back in, all the time holding said passes but doesn't give the passouts back to the attendant (some deal going on with the attendant possibly??) I give him $150 and the deal is done. I could've done a runner i s'pose but hey i was just happy to be inside. He could have done this a few times a guess. Read in the paper next day that someone got caught in a ticket scam at the GF. Maybe it was him? Either way he's richer, i'm at the game and the AFL who doesn't allocate us enough tickets anyway, loses.

No, they are a card.

Last year I managed to purchase a ticket through one of the official ticket resellers (official scalpers that is..).

I went outside to checkout the vibe out there, and collected my passout on the way out. I saw some unhappy / sad / hopeless looking people looking for tickets, so I decided to give them my passout.

On the way back into the ground, I presented the gate official with my ticket, expecting to be let back in no problems even without the passout. Unfortunately they don't actually let you back in unless you have a ticket and the passout. They know whether you have been inside already due to the barcoding / scanning technology that is used at the ground.

Much pleading later I was granted access back into the ground, and after that I've decided not to be so generous again in future. So much for doing a good deed to help someone out.
