News 2017 Finals ticketing info and questions

[Shell]

Id just like to thank Qantas for putting up LA Melb tix by 80% for the GF weekend on their normal amount.

No reason for me to buy anything yet but **** you airlines.

GO Catters

Any cruises going LA > Australia?

 

[Shell]

I don't think so.

And someone feel free to correct me, but i don't think anyone in cat 3 will end up getting a ticket realistically. The ballot usually runs out in cat 2

Once upon a time Melb 3 members werent even allowed to register for the ballot!

Dunno why the hell they changed it..

 

[Shell]

MCG is lax on Concession. Had many mates with beards scan through on child tickets. You can also take the ticket to the counter and pay to upgrade to an adult ticket. They have no issues taking your money to do so. Don't stress, your kids barcode will get your mate into the gf.

edit: obviously pending on geelong getting into the gf, and you winning the ballot

I agree with this- but be very careful. I got pulled up at the Eagles? prelim for having a concession ticket. Did the best ever Oscar performance of my life, "looking" for me ID, and said it was in a different bag at home, and he let me thru.

Have stuck to adult tickets since

Just curious are you sitting in section 131? The only reason I ask is I've never been to Adelaide Oval and am in section 131 which based on the map appears to be next to a player's race and wasn't sure if it was Geelong's or the Crows. Am also hoping that bay is filled with Geelong supporters...

Going on the last game between the two, the cats used the rooms in the sw pocket. River torrens end under the electronic score board.

Isn't that when you start yelling out the name of an imaginary child or parent and pretend they took your adult ticket?

Hey I could pass for a concession- note i did not have a child's ticket.

Also another tip re. wrong tickets. Scope out the ticket dude or dudette at the gate- do some profiling.

"uptight looking bitch on gate" = do not go thru. "easy going guy on gate" = go thru.

concession is easy to get away with these days because they are more worried about security.

wait for a crowd, don't go when they have time to look.

Naah mate.
Only been to AO once. Booked accommodation and tickets and the then Crows coach tragically lost his life.
I have not arranged any thing through work. I am on 2 weeks holiday from Grand Final Friday break onwards.

Fair enough. We could go watch it at either LOTI, Commo or Barwon Club?

 

[Shell]

They're on the inside of the gate- above your head, facing the attendant.

And it tells them If a concession has scanned through?

Yup. Colour coded too I believe.

I think it's like the train station gates in Melbourne where adults are just normal, but concession tickets have a yellow/orange light flash when those tickets are scanned

I'm just worried if it is a risk I'm willing to take
