Have you actually read what all the questions are being asked in this thread? People want to know when, how and what they have to do to get their GF tickets. Great that you have planned way ahead. no everybody has, not everybody can, not everybody fully understands.Well that's not strictly true because Richo made it quite clear to members in his email last week (that I quoted above) that 'preliminary discussions on AFL Grand Final member ticket allocations are happening and you should rest assured that there will be enough tickets available for eligible members of the competing Clubs to satisfy demand.'
So while the exact priority categories and timing will not be released until after this weekend, Richo is telling us that we ca REST ASSURED there WILL be enough tickets available for eligible members. And that eligibility was signalled in the Grand Final ticket 'guarantees' offered with 1870/Black Diamond and Platinum memberships sold this year, again as I outlined earlier.
No. I think what people want to know atm is, based on their season ticket category, whether they should go ahead and make flight and accommodation bookings on a speculative basis for the Grand Final weekend before either the Grand Final teams OR the ticket allocation parameters have been formally announced.
And Richo's email addresses that specific point where he says:
Travel and accommodation should be your focus at this point.
To spell it out. Those with Grand Final ticket guarantees as part of their season tickets (1870/Black Diamond and Platinum) should be reassured by Richo's email that, barring a covid lockdown, they WILL be able to secure a GF ticket if Port makes the Grand Final and so they should be thinking about what travel and accommodation options (and prices) they now face compared to what they might face next week when the GF teams are decided.
As someone with a Black Diamond season pass I did exactly what I did last year and booked fully refundable flights and accommodation as soon as we won our first final in the hope that we actually make it to the Grand Final.
And when it comes to the AFL, assuming is a dangerous thing.
