Mega Thread Finals Ticketing Thread: Keep it here and please read the OP

[Samurai Hawk]

I'd lose my membership

yep that too mate, would hate to see that happen !

 

[TurboBreuster]

I am mad Hawk supporter and am lucky enough to be going on Saturday. If I didn't get a ticket to the game I would head to the ground at around midday with a wanted tickets sign and try my luck. Even if you have no intention of paying more than $300 or whatever the face value is there's always a chance. For eg. I don't know if it's happened the last few years but in 2008 I heard a story of a scalper giving away a heap of tickets around Richmond station. Another option is trying to give drunk corporate package patrons $200-300 for their pass. Those sh!tfaced neutrals won't care about going to the game once 2pm comes around. If everything fails than you'll be in a perfect position to head to the Punt Road or Fed Square big screens to watch the game.

Hi guys.

I'm after 1 standing room ticket for a mate to attend the game with me.
PM me with any offers.

 

[randall boner]

what proof do you need to get in concession......how likely to be stopped at gate and checked?

 

[WWSD]

Go to mcg.org.au and click on 'Virtual Tour' at the top of the page. Then go to Seating layout.

Thank you very much IBB&G and MightyHawks23.

My first ever Grand Final! Can't come quick enough!

I know about the Fed Square, but what's at the Punt Road thanks

I was in the USA when the ballot came out, Kennedy member so a seat was mine.... If only my girlfriend (who was at home) had not F***ed up the ballot...

Anyone who feels sorry for me that has a spare please hook me up via PM

Ok, being a GF virgin I was hoping someone can ease my mind
I am only a country member so had bugger all hope of a ticket but have been given one by a mate who is an afl member to get into m20, starting to panic that I might asked for a card or something
These tickets are gifted , no money changed hands, ( I have two tickets- sorry guys bringing another mate)
All above board as this fella purchased then for other reasons just can't go
What's the chances something goes wrong, what should I look out for ?

 

[chrissmith23]

I'm in a similar situation. Are there Hawthorn members who were assigned seats in M17 to M27? If so maybe it's enough to show our Hawthorn member id?

If you get asked they will want to see an AFL membership card and id to prove it is yours.

 

[HAWKS HEROES]

So, does anyone know if there will indeed be a secondary Hawthorn Ballot tomorrow? Someone suggested there would be a couple of pages back

a friend reckons ticketek rang them to say they have a ticket if they wanted it maybe they rang those that had missed out in the ballot with what was left in the swans re draw??

[HAWKS HEROES]

People should be nice enough to let the little ones stand in front of the fence, not stuck behind it with the adults. We let the kids do it at the 2008 Grand Final

my friend is very short and they let her stand in front of the fence i reckon they maybe kind hearted for kids

 

[TurboBreuster]

I know about the Fed Square, but what's at the Punt Road thanks

Sorry mate.. I was thinking of previous years and forgot about the face lift that is taking place there.

 

[aus16]

hey guys, dont hate a swans fan for coming on here, but maybe this could be fun for you guys, im willing to not wear any swans gear to the final (maybe even a little hawthorn gear if you can offer me a good price) if someone here is willing to sell me a ticket, thanks

 

[offtherails9]

Looking for 4 tickets sitting or standing. Please PM.

 

[pejamas]

Just after some advice from MCC members what to look out for when entering the game to prevent an id check. Ive been to the MCC area many times with guest passes but this time using a friends card (as the ticket doesn't let you in) I want to take any precaution i can (massive risk for him, but some mates do what it takes for fans to see their team in the GF) Ill be wearing a suit to attract less attention to myself (I have 2 full sleeves) and that alone stands out. Any tips?

I can't speak from experience as an AFL member but I highly doubt they'll be asking everyone for ID on the way through the gates. If you're that worried about it, just pick a time when it looks like there are plenty of people going though the gate and make yourself look like you belong there.

 

[blue harvest]

What's the chances of getting asked you reckon ?

You can see the staff either outside the gate where people are queuing or next to the turnstile further in. Just need to take a look and avoid the queue/turnstile where they are checking. It's possible for them to only check a small percentage of the 20,000+ entering the members reserve.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

I'm going to try and get ID checked...just to let some poor buggers through

Me and the missus will do that and hold them up for about 25 mins

 

[Glacier]

Thanks all
Just being jittery I suppose, have used the brother in laws ticket last week and didn't think anything of it
For some reason I've had the wind put up me!!
The mate who is with me is not a member at all, but I reckon there would be thousands in the same situation on the day
Thanks again and may the best team ( us ) win !!

You my friend, just won the game.

 

[Flukey!]

I am an AFL member and am sitting in N22 on Saturday.
If you only have the ticket, and not the membership, there may still be a way.
Is there a barcode on the tickets you have?
