Resource Finals Ticketing & Barcodes Thread (SWANS-ONLY)

[caesar88]

This will be the place for any ticket and barcode requests folks may have.

MOD NOTICE - PLEASE POST ALL TICKETING AND BARCODE REQUESTS IN THIS THREAD - SWANS SUPPORTERS ONLY.

Will provide links and access to ticketing and member barcode information once more info about each of our finals is released.

To keep things in order, there are a few groundrules for requesting barcodes or tickets, as decided by the mods:

1. You must have been a member of the Bigfooty forums for at least 2 years.
2. You must have made at least 500 posts - some within the past 6 months, including a history of posting on the Swans board.

This is to ensure that users who actually contribute to our online community of Swans fans are looked after and given first opportunity over those who only post when there are barcodes or tickets up for grabs.

If you do NOT meet the above criteria, any request posts you make in this thread will be deleted.

If you DO meet the above criteria, post your requests in here. Any member who has spare tickets or barcodes and is willing to share can DM/Start a conversation with whoever they choose from this thread. It is up to those individuals to decide who they wish to communicate and share their tickets/barcodes with.

This post will be updated to list:

Members in need of a ticket/barcode:
mattpolo8 for any finals
dopesayo for GF
Jimbo OZ 3 tickets for GF
sr20 1 ticket for GF
Arwib 1 (preferably 2) tickets for GF

I honestly thought you could add Premiership Club to all memberships and was a bit surprised that you can't add it to the 5 game. That doesn't make sense to me.

Nope you've never been able to add it to 5 game Sydney based memberships or below (Red 3). I sort of get it - but as I said earlier, I think in some circumstances it is a bit unfair to not be able to do so.

On another note - I've seen reports of fans in the category I've got (Level 4 'Front') being as far back as Row Z in some sections. 26 rows back but still at the 'front' - your having an absolute laugh AFL, at the fans great expense.

Unsuccessful P2 here. Shattered sums it up.

If there is a single ticket floating around shout out before I cancel my interstate flights.

 

[Gazatron]

We got our seats in Q35 front. Sitting in similar seats for 2005 and 2012 so I take that as a good sign!

2014, 2016 and 2022 we were on level 1

 

[MF]

Yep - definitely needs an escort!

Maybe we'll arrange that for after the game

There are so many reasons why getting to 11 games is in the too hard basket and 5 games is more reasonable - living a fair distance away, elderly, sickness, work, very young family etc. Personally, I think it's a bit tough.

Haha

Q7. Feeling very fortunate as P2 seems to have been a very 50/50 proposition this year.

 

[Day_night_honourer]

Anyone else in Q9-1. We're in row W.

Yep, family & I in row J

There was someone offering 4 x $1850 package tickets in this thread.
Actually wasn't too bad value really imo - inc GF brekky, boat cruise to MCG and Level 4 tix to game.

Other option is to put a 'wanted' sale on Gumtree & eBay. Enter at own risk though! I did this for 2005 & 2006 GFs and came through unscathed luckily, thanks to some awesome MCG members who saw my ad. They even met us at gates on the day to make sure my wife and I got through ok!

Would probably have been AFL members you bought from, not MCG members, which isn't really a thing, unless you are referencing MCC members, which would be extremely rare for someone to let someone share their MCC card with their photo on it, and if caught lose a membership which takes 30 years to get.

I have bought on the second hand market in AFL members for 2012, 2014 and 2016 and yes there is some risk as I believe they do spot check on entry occasionally as it is meant to be the AFL member in attendance only. But you just enter when it's really busy through the gates.

 

[Bandicoot]

That seems moronic. Either you should be successful for your entire ballot or none. What's the point in giving people one ticket out of a pair?

I can only assume that one of the barcodes was entered incorrectly.

How to get a grand final ticket, and why there’s no public sale

The Swans and Lions have battled long and hard for their places in the AFL grand final on Saturday, finding a ticket to the big game can be almost as exhausting. Here is how fans get access to tickets.

Hi guys, a mate of mine has 3x M8 Level 1 standing room tickets. Pm for details.

Can't recall if they they were AFL or MCC members, but they (him and his mate) both lent us their cards with photo ID on them in case and we mailed back later when we got back to Cairns. So grateful as without their help may not have been there for the historic victory.

Stoked to be going to my first ever GF

Only other time I've been to the MCG is the QF against Melbourne in 22

Food is good there

Enjoy it mate!!

Tickets successfully acquired! Level 4 front of Q6. Appears to be the opposite end to our cheer squad.

Yea wow that is trusting! Did you also have a physical ticket, or was it swipe in with card? MCC is card only, no ticket. AFL members is ticket entry, card inspection only on request by the attendants.

Ahh, must have been AFL members then! Had physical tix and card. I vaguely recall they were Hawks members. Lucky it wasn't post-2012

Similar to where I sat for 2012. Surprisingly good spot to watch from.

I can only assume that one of the barcodes was entered incorrectly.

I don't think so as that would have been flagged at the time of registration. It automatically works out if a barcode is adult/junior/concession etc when you register so it would have come up as an incorrect barcode.

 

[The Tilt]

Similar. Q7, row D. Not to complain as I'm grateful to be going etc, but I was hoping for level 1 given the high price.

Potentially open to trading for something on L1 (incl. standing room) later in the week.

Premiership club was 100% worth getting in the end on top of an interstate membership, like a few others have done as well. Should we go all the way it wouldn't be surprising next year if it'd become more expensive/exclusive.

M32 for myself, the bay next to the cheer squad. A nice upgrade from the Q3 seats two years ago.

Next bay for me M33 good enough

 

[GoTheSwannies]

We need to get Bonz a security escort to the ground. He's our lucky omen

Forget Mills, I don't think you'll get many BFers disagreeing with the suggestion for Bonz to lift the cup.

Or at the very least do the coin toss.

 

[swans1983]

Got two standing tickets. Always had seated in the past. Any tips on for the standing tickets? Assume we need to arrive when the gates open?
