Ticket advice

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I need help.

This is the first time my membership allows me to see a Gabba match using my card. I think all I have to do is reserve a seat and maybe pay a booking fee or something.

Do I just ring Ticketek or whoever, quote my membership number and pay the difference or do I have to do it at the Gabba? I am buying other tickets for other people so wanted to get the seats together.

How does it work?

Assume it's still ticketmaster in Brisbane.

You can call them up quote your number, or alternatively use the net and do the same thing. You have an option to "add" tickets, which is where your non member friends are added.

Hope that helps

Thanks.

Ticketek is the best one apparently. Also I was supposed to have got a brochure and contacted the club 6 weeks ago. The Carlton allocation is sold out.

I can buy upper deck now or wait for the general reserved seats behind the goals to open up (half the price and more atmosphere near the cheer squad, and still licenced) 3 days before the game. It is risky but I may wait.

Hope the result is a little closer than what it was last time ODN.

Hey guys,

I have already booked my tickets for the Gabba match. One of my mates got a whole bunch of tickets with our Full AFL Memberships but apparantly the AFL have no ticketing rights or something up there, I don't know if this is correct or not but we ended up buying seats for 51$ each

Can anybody tell me what the differences between Full AFL Membership (Club Support: Carlton) and a Carlton FC Membership are concerning interstate games?

Its all very confusing isnt it? I have the long distance supporter package and on the back of my membership card it says that it admits to 5 home or away games. Does that entitle you to a free ticket or just ensures you get a seat? I got a letter from the club a month or so ago and to further confuse me it says "that all long distance 5, baby blue , squadron and captain Carlton members automatically recieve complimentary general admission entry to the game. However, you must hold a reserved seat for this game".

The cheer squad seating was sold out unfortunately so the missus and I will be sitting in sec 30-31. Only 1 more week to go!

Sorry ODN
I did mention to you to do this ages ago when we started talking about getting a Qldblues going. Certainly always get tickets thru the club well before. Too late now and I blame myself as I thought I had got the message through.
Just show is you band together with the rest of the mob at the game the wheel will turn better in future.
Why not use next week as a chance to pin point a few likely sorts who can start the members group up!

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

It's okay mate. I knew I had to do something sometimes but procrastinated on it. I don't mind paying, just thought I would sound out if I could still get a freebie.

Ticketek up here had no idea about reserved seats for Carlton members so I am not sure how the clubs expects you to reserve one first in order to get your ticket from them.

All too confusing for me.

My advice is always look at the fixture at the beginning of the year, touch base early with the club and hammer the crap out of them weekly until they finally tell you.
All members should be sent something in the mail as well but I never rely on the club to get that right all the time.
If you had a members group like ours they do all the running around for you and keep you in the loop as best we can!

This might be best served in the confessions thread but I am as laid back about these things as they come.

I plan almost nothing. My social life and my work are always fly by the seat of my pants arrangements. Nothing gets done until it absolutely has to be done or it will bite me.

That's why I laugh at BF posters who think I am so pedantic and anally retentive because I am so much the other way with the occasional bout of good intentions.

Yeah but being out of Melb nothing gets better than sitting with a big mob of Blues going nuts
