I don't think you can all register together, unless you register in the Priority 2 time frame, however by doing so you forfeit the Gold ticket guarantee.

As pjcrows suggests, you'll likely need to separate the gold & silver registrations.
Bugger. I think you just answered my question. I'm gold but my kids are Priority 2 ticket holders. Hope they can look after themselves in the crowd... :D

With the great win last night, our registration date for GF tickets is next Wed 13th Sept!

View attachment 413105

I'm going in with 3 other mates. Im so excited/nervous!!

PS - I know it's a long shot, but have a 4th mate who is willing to purchase someone's Gold Ticket barcode (in the ridiculously rare chance someone isn't going to be able to utilise it)
Oi thats mine. :D

I am also in the Gold Ticket beg or borrow camp. Will pay the price of the 2 tickets plus a small renumeration for the trouble . This of course if the Gold Member cant attend for whatever reason :)

Pretty much.

Silver is priority 2, so no guarantee to get a ticket. Essentially there will be about 35,000 people clamouring for around 5,000 tickets, if that.

No GF tickets go on sale to the general public.

On the bright side, legislation is before the Victorian Parliament to reduce the corporate allocation and increase the member allocations. While it won't help us this year if it passes it'll probably mean more gold memberships available, which in turn would increase the priority 2 chances in the ballot.

So if I put in with a group of 7, all priority 1 members, and we elect to go for next best available seat not including standing room, does that mean we surrender our guaranteed ticket if we don't get drawn in the ballot until after the seats are gone?

Do we get to rule out any of the other categories, like say putting a line through category 1 for being too expensive?

Also, does anyone think there'll be a difference between signing up as a 7, or a 4 and a 3? My friend is worried that being in one block of 7 will increase the likelihood we get kicked to the back of a queue or out of a category because when we get drawn, there won't be a full block of 7 seats available.

And, will Ticketek choke and throw up an error because 5 of the barcodes are Adelaide Football Club Gold essential Crows, and the other two are the normal kind of Gold?

Ultimately the important thing is to get into the ground, regardless of where you sit for a GF right?

Sure, but I'm asking all the questions I have before Wednesday, so that I don't find out on Thursday I did something wrong, and came out with worse than I should have gotten by ticking a different box.
