A Reminder ​

​

All posters are reminded of legislation in place protecting tickets from scalping, any reselling of tickets must not be advertised for more than 10% over their face value.​

​

BigFooty does not warrant any sales of tickets to matches & events, all members buying and selling do so at their own risk.​

​

Please reach out to Pies board moderators in the first instance prior to posting any threads advertising the sale of finals tickets on the Pies team board.​

Threads advertising ticket sales will be deleted.​

Guys from your experiences, what kind of $ would you expect to pay for resale tickets during GF week? Any recommended sites?

I haven't used this site, but have seen it mentioned during the finals :

What about Support Worker has own Membership thru Club?

Is there’s also priority 1 (legends etc)? If so you’ll need both barcodes to sit together. If their a lower priority you’d have to forfeit your guaranteed seat to sit together.

Best place to find your barcode is on the mymagpies account. Link - https://am.ticketmaster.com/collingwood/invoice

Every time we have to do this I'm reminded what a rort it is that fans have to pay $6 when they don't know whether their team will make it, or if they'll be successful in the ballot.

I’d happily pay $6 for the other weeks of the finals if it avoided the hassle of a poorly designed system

I think they wait until the games are completed on the weekend. So probably Monday 18/9 morning.

Did that but only can use 1 Seat to but in Ballot

 

[TradeDraft]

Trying to get Ballots for Both of us but only 1 Barcode say can get a Ticket

 

[South of the Yarra]

All registered, now bring it on.

I think you can do two tickets but you drop out of the higher level ballot ticket and have to wait for time frame for the lesser ticket then submit both barcodes then.

What’s the feeling in the room with regard to non refundable $6 ballot charge if your team doesn’t make the GF?

All jokes aside like doesn’t matter we’ll make it. Imagine the coin Ticketek make on the two teams that don’t get in.

Ticketek is a scam, the ACCC should do something. $6 to register for what? $8 "BOOKING FEES" to print your ticket at home. What exactly are they doing for the money? Providing about as much admin as a big footy poll, but we all just smile and wear it cause we have no other choice.

Agreed.

I thought I would buy tickets at the G on Saturday to save myself that fee. But no, they charge it even at the ground.

 

[Jen2310]

In the end, I chose best avail, no standing room. And I'll hope for the best.
Hopefully if we make it, I get a ticket. Surely being priority 1 its meant to be guaranteed.

I chose option 1 because it said :

Tickets will be allocated via ballot on a next available basis, and therefore members can receive a Category 1-7 Reserved Seat, Restricted View Seat or Standing Room ticket. If you select option 2 and all reserved seat tickets have been allocated when your registration is next to be processed, you will not be issued a GF ticket.

* And under Priority 1 it says :

At the time of registration, members can elect not to receive Standing Room tickets, however if all members in your group are able to stand for the duration of the day, we strongly recommend all members select Option 1 - 'I will accept the best available ticket - including Standing Room' at the time of registering to retain guaranteed (P1) access to a GF ticket.

I understand your situation is different because your mum is unable to stand all day..so fingers crossed, but not sure it is * guaranteed.

Ticketmaster is worse. Now you can't even get 'Print at Home' tickets. Electronic only.

Too bad for me who travels light to games as don't take my phone nor money as it is card only for all transactions at games.

I did the same. You’d think as priority one it will be okay, especially as it’ll most likely be against Brisbane (interstate club)

I called the club this morning with a similar question. The helpful staff member said that as P1 we are guaranteed a seated ticket whether we click seated only or seated/standing when we register.
