Resource 2023 Finals Ticketing Thread

[RussellEbertHandball]

Given we have won 14 games and will be playing final, and 1 more win will ensure we get 1 final and 3 more wins I reckon means 2 more wins. Club is sending out an email to all members this arvo so might as well have this as the official ticketing thread.

Most people no longer have a plastic pass with the barcode so the club has given us the heads email what you barcode is to keep somewhere safe for when you have to use it for finals ticket.

Finals Ticketing
For any finals Weeks 1-3 where Port Adelaide is a competing team, Members will require their membership barcodes to purchase tickets. As it can be quite a busy time, we thought we would confirm your barcode details, so you are ready when the time comes!

How are priority groups determined?​

For AFL Finals weeks 1 to 3, there are no priority groups. All game access members have priority for weeks 1-3 finals. This includes Western Stand, Reserved Seat and General Admission members.

Priority Groups are only used for Grand Final ticketing. Members pay additional to receive this benefit (Club 1870, Black Diamond, Platinum and Gold).

How are the seating allocations determined?​

The AFL is responsible for the overall ticketing arrangements for the Finals Series including pricing, on-sales and ticketing allocations.

The overall venue capacity is divided into the following categories:

• Club Members (home team)
• Club Members (away team)
• Stadium Members
• Corporate
• Club internal allocations
• AFL Members

Price freeze on all entry-level tickets to 2023 Toyota AFL Finals Series

Except each year it feels like there are less and less entry level tickets, with the actual price rise being more seats shifting into higher categories.

I thought in past years that Black Diamond, Platinum and Gold members had a priority over Silver, 3-game and GA members for finals ticketing?

I could be getting confused with the Covid year ticketing where all the home games were subject to barcodes and ticket limits, but it feels a bit weird to me that a Black Diamond or Platinum member gets the same ticket priority as someone who paid $1 for the last two home games.

It won't really matter this week because we aren't going to have that many travelling fans, but still, is this a change from prior years?

The AFL tend not to give a shit about clubs having priority groups in weeks 1 to 3 and only allow for GF priority by the clubs. They tend to just have a members window, then open it up to the public a few hours later. Covid changed that for a couple of years and because we weren't involved in 2022 people didn't check out those procedures.

In 2020 had 3 groups/windows, 1) all members who pledged 100% of membership 2) members who pledged 50%-75% and 3) everyone else.

Resource - 2020 Finals Ticketing thread

Thought we should have a thread given we will be playing 2 finals at home and the club reads this board so ask questions in here and maybe the club will respond directly or I can collate the questions and fire them off to the club. 2014 it was open slather at 9am to buy tickets, 2017 they had...

2021 there was 3 windows 1) higher categories members 2) general admin members 3) general public

But that was only because there were still covid restrictions on ground capacity.

How are priority groups determined?

For AFL Finals weeks 1 to 3, there are normally no priority groups. All game access members have priority for weeks 1-3 finals. This includes Western Stand, Reserved Seat and General Admission members.

Due to the reduced capacity of the stadium in 2021, the AFL provided the Club with the option to have up to two (2) Priority Groups.

Priority Groups are normally only used for Grand Final ticketing. Members pay additional to receive this benefit (Club 1870, Black Diamond, Platinum and Gold).

I don't intend to travel for this game, so DM me if you need a member barcode. Port supporters only.

So who's been able to get tickets this morning? REH and I will be in section 420.

 

[Cheesey Mac]

Bay 218 for me and a few others. It was surprisingly painless this morning with Ticketmaster.

I think 219 and 218 have been designated Port Adelaide bays.

Based on this morning's double act with Chewy316 and not realising the front row of the top tier at the Gabba starts with row AA and not row A, looks like Port bays are 422 and 420 top tier of southern stand and Brisbane bays are 421, 423 and 419 early on in the process, and then as Brisbane demand increases the even bays in that top tier of the southern stand will switch over to be for Brisbane supporters.

The whole AA at the front rather than A makes it so confusing. I had a brief look up in the Cat 1 section and was getting FF, which to my mind implied I was right up the very back, so gave them back and looked at Cat 2 in the lower seating bowl.

I tend to prefer it in the lower seating bowl anyway, if you're heckling a player they're more likely to hear it.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Gabba is sold out.

So is the other QF between Collingwood and Melbourne. Tickets for the 2 EFs went on sale today.

 

[MrChow]

Explain to me how the rows work at the Gabba? We are section 215 - which is the lowest section up on the fence. We r Row A - are we at the front or back, or what is this Gabba Row AA business??

You'll be on the lower level in the front row. The bottom level rows start at A from the front and the upper levels start at AA, BB, CC, etc.

 

[ElectricG]

Anyone still after a ticket? I bought a member pre-sale ticket but then got gifted another by a friend. Looking to sell it on for the same as what I paid. Section 219 where I believe it is mostly Port fans (if this sweetens the deal)

So who's been able to get tickets this morning? REH and I will be in section 420.

Didn’t see this thread till today. I bloody hope 421 isn’t Brions supporters as myself, the child bride and 2 squids have tickets in there.

Is there someone who isn't able to go or has a spare willing to give me their barcode? I only have 2 tickets and I'd like to take all my kids along if possible. Would very much appreciate it.

 

[ibd77]

I cant wait for Ticketek to automatically allocate the worst seat in the stadium when I log on in a few moments.
