Mod. Notice 2014 Grand Final ticketing buy/swap/sell thread - only for Hawthorn members and supporters

IMHO, if they're happy to upgrade, they should also be happy to downgrade, regardless of the difference in cost.

They are. I recall downgrading an Adult ticket to a Junior ticket and receiving the credited difference on my card.

They can do it, but won't unless it was their fault that you got the wrong type of ticket.

IF we beat Port Adelaide when exactly do we know if we are successful in obtaining a ticket for the Grand final? I'm Priority 1. Is it Sunday night they deduct money from your Bank account?

 

[Goodo73]

From past experience, I think they make the results available, both the successful and unsuccessful ballots, on the Sunday night. Will definitely know by Monday morning.

IIRC, there was discussion on BF last year over what tickets everyone had actually got. Some were saying they knew almost straight away, whereas others didn't know until midweek.

You guys I thought would be the best to ask.
The money gets debited without the member knowing where they are sitting? (Cat 1, Cat 2 etc)
Do you just jump on and see how much was taken and guess your seating?

Yeah pretty much!

Previous years the money has been deducted from the credit card/available balance on the Sunday!

Will be sometime during the day on Sunday - time can vary. Happened very quickly on the Sunday for me in 2012, 2013 took until late afternoon on the Saturday.

Usually can go into your account and i think in history it will show you seats what ever you do dont close screen it only shows you once so either screen shot it or write down if you want to know before you pick up the tickets not sure if it will show you seat numbers on sunday night but no harm in looking

Geez after stressing on Monday Morning and being offered crap seats (I wanted level N) for top dollar.. Lesson learn't for next year.

Yes it's what you know and who you know

It'd be a different story if we were playing Collingwood of course

But most of the time tickets to the first 3 weeks of the finals are pretty easy to come by!
