TD, it will keep saying that until you've paid for the seat. Just make sure your card is ready for 12pm, or call Ticketek to organise an alternative payment method.

​ ​ , I wanted to address the ticketing situation regarding the Grand Final ballot which took place yesterday. As a competing Club, we receive 17,000 tickets which is far from enough for our most loyal Members. We believe Members who contribute their hard earned should be rewarded with a fair opportunity to witness our team on the biggest stage. We have been working through the situation overnight and have some updates for you. Every single Priority One (P1) Member who registered for the Grand Final ballot will receive a ticket to the 2023 AFL Grand Final. There were 37 P1 Members who did not select the Standing Room option and, as such, missed out on tickets through the automated ballot – we will sort each of those 37 Members directly to ensure they have a seat. Anyone who is a P1 Member and were given a Standing Room ticket – that will be changed from Standing Room to an Allocated Seat. I want to be clear, Priority Two (P2) and Priority Three (P3) Members were not allocated tickets prior to P1, however, accessible requirement Members were fulfilled yesterday. We call on Ticketek to improve their system so that the moment funds are taken out of bank accounts, tickets are released to Members immediately. We have been informed that 700 Members whose credit cards either failed or had insufficient funds are not at risk of losing their allocation. They will be contacted by Ticketek and the Club this morning. We know Grand Finals are a case of high demand and limited availability which is why we call on the AFL to increase competing Club allocations from 17,000 to at least 20,000 tickets. We want to assure all Members that we are actively engaging with the AFL, MCC, Ticketek, and other stakeholders to push for changes and improve this system and access for our most dedicated Members. For other Members and supporters who unfortunately won’t be able to enter the MCG on Grand Final day, we encourage you to immerse yourself in the activity that will be happening around the Club. We will have two live sites in our precinct on Grand Final Day; the Make it Legendary Grand Final Live Site at the AIA Vitality Centre and another free Collingwood live site across the road at Grand Slam Oval. We have had to ticket the Live Site at our Club due to liquor licensing laws – this will be $4 for Members (plus Ticketek’s processing fee) and $20 for non-Members. This week is all about our Collingwood community and our connection with our Members and supporters and we look forward to embracing the week together. From here, we will keep you informed every step of the way, ensuring that you have the most accurate and up-to-date information. We thank all Members for their commitment to our Club and we remain committed to delivering for our most loyal supporters. Craig Kelly Chief Executive Officer Collingwood Football Club

Assuming what Craig has said in there is accurate, it does sound like it's all been dealt with well. I was a little disappointed to be category 5 at first but really, it's just great to get a ticket at all.

Just buy some cans and head to Yarra Park and drink. Great atmosphere around the ground on Grand Final Day and plenty of room and not over crowded like the pubs.

Dear Members,

I wanted to address the ticketing situation regarding the Grand Final ballot which took place yesterday.

As a competing Club, we receive 17,000 tickets which is far from enough for our most loyal Members.

We believe Members who contribute their hard earned should be rewarded with a fair opportunity to witness our team on the biggest stage.

All bars, pubs in Richmond wil be packed pre game… but all are mixed fans and no probs. If you don’t mind a 30 minute walk, try something in Fitzroy.

 

[Kes1984]

Any MCC members on here who missed out on the ballot like I did? What time would we realistically need to join the queue? I got ballot seats in 2018, so I’m just wondering if anyone can speak from the experience of having to queue in recent years.

surely a lot of tickets will be given back from all the Melbourne people who won't want to go now. When's the reserved seat tickets go back on sale? I helped Dad get a ticket that way last year after he missed the ballot.

Good to hear. If I was in your position I'd want a bit more assurance than that though. Could they explain why it didn't work on Saturday and why they're confident it will work today?

Not Sure but what I read and Seen I was not the only one that this Happened too

My mate goes every year lined up at 4am and gets first couple of rows. Once you grab the ticket you can leave and even go home if you want.

I'm glad they're not just rewarding the 37 members who chose to risk missing out on a ticket by selecting no standing room.

 

[Venommmm]

If this helps my mate who is a legends member got his tickets today.

He selected no standing and was p1 in the ballot

Got 6x cat 3 sq51

Good luck all hope you get your tickets

 

[10571z]

Do we have to pick up the tickets from Ticketek or is it all on mobile?

Those 37 members sure did make a lot of noise

Mobile. They'll be on your Ticket account now.

Damn, should have not paid attention and selected no standing and ended up with category 3 instead of my category 7.

 

[LoneRanger]

If no P2 were allocated before P1, and tickets are allocated on “next best available “, how can it be that some P2 and P3 got better seats than P1????

Honestly I feel sorry for the fans. The way this system was presented and run is farcical.

The loyalty system should be fair.

The cat 2 and 3’s getting level 2 and 1 while you have 15+ year legends members getting standing room.

They say they will fix the system and promises reviews but it’s been the same since implementation with the same issues.

Anyway may the best team win and good luck.

That would fall into Ticketek’s secret herbs and spices. Although if any of those P2 or P3 had accessibility requirements that would be an explanation for some of them.

Has anyone who was p2 or p3 given seats? I haven’t seen one here yet..

 

[coylez]

Please PM me if anyone has one ticket available to sell (asking for a Collingwood mate).

Thanks
