Ticketek are now saying that is NOT how they ran the ballot!!
They say they randomly selected people and then randomly allocated seats (not next best available) and that is why some P1 got standing whilst P2 got reserved seats.
Unbelievable. It’s now clear they ran the ballot incorrectly.
Any P1 with standing (not me) should be outraged.

They need to Re-Do the Ballot Then

 

[TradeDraft]

They're also trying to blame the AFL & the club for their own error too.

IF anyone at AFL had a Mind there Contract should be Ripped Up

IF anyone at AFL had a Mind there Contract should be Ripped Up

Perhaps they will after the season has ended

Nothing in that statement guarantees that p1 were to be drawn first. Just that it's a guaranteed ticket. If they used a probability based algorithm it would just mean that towards the end all the remaining tickets would go to unlucky p1 entries. It's still a guaranteed ticket and the conditions states all members could get standing only.

The contract is with the ground,nothing the afl can do about it.

 

[Everybody Panic]

They use the word 'random' a lot in their info sheets.

That kind of sums it up doesn't it?

Unfortunately.

How do you do a ballot without using random draws?

 

[gerryg400]

Perhaps it will be processed over night, Dave. Or all will become clearer once you've had a chance to speak to your bank in the morning.

Does one really need to wait til Monday to ring the bank? Aren’t they contactable 24/7? Mine claims to be.

That's kind of the point I'm making... it's all there in the info provided. I always thought it was a lucky dip.

I don't know. It's up to Dave when he feels comfortable calling or perhaps going into his bank in person.

Best to do that. Try not to worry about it anymore tonight if you can

 

[BEEG]

Best thing I ever did getting a AFL membership 15 years ago.

Lots of confusion all round.

The only people that should be outraged are those that have done everything correctly and missed out on a ticket.

 

[yeee_haaaa!!!!!]

This year’s ballot is exactly as it was in 2018, and in 2011, and in 2010. I’m P1 and nowhere in anything I’ve received does it state that I am guaranteed any level of seat, nor that P1 members get allocated a better category of seat etc. P1 is guaranteed a ticket, as long as you choose to accept standing room if offered. It very clearly states that if you select the no standing room option, then you run the risk of missing out. I’ve never been allocated a category 1 seat, and this year is no different with what looks like a category 3 coming out. I know for a fact that in 2018 priority 2 Members received category 1 seats in the ballot while I got category 7 as priority 1. That’s the way the cookie crumbles. Wherever i’m sitting I’m there. We also need to bear in mind that there will be a lot of lions supporters leaving by early in the last quarter, so feel free to make your way down to their seats

Not it should not be like that.

Why even bothering being a Legends Member then?

The Companies are Mates so nothing will happen

Wrong. It literally says P1 are allocated their tickets AND THEN it’s goes to P2 for what is left and then P3 if there’s anything after that.

The par at the bottom tells you all you need to know. It’s been botched.

I know a guy this referred to, now he has 2 standing room tickets. Apparently it’s 47 legends missed out. Hopefully they can find a spot for all of them, at least in the ground.

it definitely needs rewording. I almost made the same mistake as quite frankly, standing for the whole game, and fighting to see as a 5foot 6 59 year old woman, would be a nightmare. Thankfully, I chicken out and went any ticket. Fortunately got good seats.

lets go Pies xx

Yes, but the seating/standing allocation is still random.

Yeah you would think it’s like a raffle, first drawn gets best, and so on down, random people, not seats. That’s the way I read it.
