So I have had a look at the AFL's page re: ticketing options for gather round. If club members of a team playing at Adelaide Oval, you could buy a multi day pass. If you are a club member of a team playing at Norwood or Mt Barker, * you! Maybe we might have a ticket for you to see your team if you are lucky but be ****ed if we are giving you priority to see other games as well. Go hunt a ticket with the rest of the plebs tomorrow.

To describe this system as anything but a s**t show would be generous. Doesn't do much for equality either considering its mainly big Melbourne teams and the Adelaide teams getting the Adelaide Oval games.
And why would you expect anything else?

Agreed. We booked flights and accomodation ages ago to make a weekend of it but have almost no access to the Adelaide Oval games because we've been pushed to the sticks to play. I'll pop onto Ticketek today to try my luck but I'm not holding much hope. I don't understand how teams playing at Adelaide Oval on Sunday should have any greater access to the Thursday-Saturday games than all the teams playing at Norwood or Mt Barker.
 
I got a GA ticket in the public sale Eagles game, Gather Round). The member code wasn't displaying for me, so I called up member services but got punted out of the queue for a callback after a while. Then missed the callback because of work. So just paid for it. Ah well, at least I got a ticket.
 
Not sure if this is the correct thread or ok so apologies and mods can remove if not. Just wondering if anyone has a spare gather round barcode number they are not using. I used my membership to get mine and need one for the partner, the general public is exhausted, hoping the swans allocation still have some.
Cheers

Got in to the GA release quicker than I got in for ours yesterday. Got a three day AO pass. Will use what I use and if I miss a game or two because I have better offers so be it.

Yes - the GA wait time was much quicker. We also got a 4 day pass which we will use when we want. A little annoyed that we didn’t get the discount as members that all other clubs already playing at AO did. First world problems I suppose.
 
The above stories are depressing. This game with two big Clubs should not be at a country ground. No doubt the Eagles allocation has sold out as well. That there are two classes of club member - those playing at AO and those not with the latter being treated very poorly - makes me angry.

Where is our Club? Dead bloody silent because they are not allowed to criticise the AFL.
 
After my incredible success last year of selecting last years top 5 draft picks.

Where's the 2024 trading and drafting thread?

Yep. Have to agree. We were close to the last Board to get cracking in 2023.

Ticky009 opposition was implacable, iconic and lol, damn lol funny.

Yeah. This year's isn't kicking off for a while yet. And for the record, it was an overall mod decision mate. As are all the mod calls on here.

I for one would watch the Mods reality show. What it lacks in drama it will make up for in high comedy and honest character assessment.
Instead of Big Brother, we could have Big Bedford's voice booming through the share house speakers when he doesn't like the topic, or believes someone is hogging screen time.

Allow us pleb posters to send in "rewards", like replacing all food with a weeks supply of bread, butter, cheese and ham, and a sandwich grill.

Sweet Caroline plays at 30min intervals.

Everything from kitchen and bathroom supplies, to the bunk beds, are kept way up high. Motion sensors when someone is trying to reach them have me booming "We need more talls".

The same motion sensors kick off The King's catchphrase every time someone goes to the loo.

Instead of intruders, someone just lets a pig loose periodically.

If you're voted out in the 1st round, it doesn't count.

Jewelsbon wins this hands down as everyone votes themselves off at the first rendition of Sweet Caroline.

I still think taking Disco Stu with Pick 5 was a mistake.
Yeah, but if we went with Serong, we mightn't have ended up with Troy McClure, whom you may remember from such picks as 39 in the 2019 AFL draft.

And we ended up getting Flanders as well, he was highly rated at the time.

Seeing Disco Stu sauntering down the wing with dead fish in his boots was a sight to see

It is a devastating midfield group

Flanders is Ripped af.

Duffman is your one-way running explosive midfielder.
