News Finals Ticketing Thread

[BraydenWCE]

Yes, in fact for finals they replace the behind posts with the goal posts at each end, so you score 1 point for kicking it though the middle, and 6 on either side. Also instead of wearing their normal guernseys, they play shirts vs skins.

I didn't think moderators were allowed to be this sarcastic. lol.

As a person who has never been to an AFL final, is there anything different about the experience? i.e. pre-game, post-game, half time etc.

They play paper rock scissors instead of tossing the coin, umpires forget their whistles and time keepers stretch time for an eternity.

 

[BraydenWCE]

One more question.. What does it mean if the tickets say "Row KK" or any double letter row for that matter.

Got home from a shitty day of work, try my luck on ticketmaster..... nek minute scored 3 tickets!!!

 

[Biggie]

I got tickets @ 12.02pm

I was pleased but it seems I didn't really have to rush at all!?

 

[Impunity!]

There's still restricted viewing tickets to be had

 

[wce_dyl]

Today tonight said there are 1000 tickets left, but ticketmaster ain't finding any for me. meh. I'm going to the pub anyway.

No SGIO chant at end of quarter. Nearly worth the extra price of admission.

What is with the deal of going in and asking for best available only to find that they hold back some of the better tickets?

Yeah, very annoying to get on at 9am and go through the stress of the slow, malfunctioning ticketmaster website to get my tickets only to have mates log on at lunchtime and get better seats.
What was the point of the ITW pre-sale? To get rid of the mediocre seats?

 

[The Dodger]

Seems like it. Release some average ones early so that by the time you log in and get some you are happy just to take what is there because you don't want to miss out, thinking that it is already down to those seats.

this shits me. people buying good tickets only to place it on ebay and pump the price.

shocked that there are tickets are still available.

 

[BraydenWCE]

Anyone know about seats in block 309. Good, Bad?

Great spot, definitely grab them if you still can!

Assuming that we win this week, is next weeks game vs Hawks/Pies likely to be on a Friday or Saturday night? Thinking about making the trip over.

I read somewhere that Demetriou confirmed that it'll be on the Saturday, either day or night. Most likely a night game, that's how it's been the last few years.

Friday will be a 5 day break for the winner of our game, no chance

Bought three tickets at ground Zero.

Section 111, row KK Restricted viewing @ $40 ea, not a member at all so can't complain. Seems ok, i think I've sat around that area before 5 rows back and the camera was in the way a little, But 10 rows back it shouldn't be a problem.

 

[Coaster2012]

Very surprised that there were tickets still available, anyone actually have an explanation for this? Were there a lot of north melbourne membership allocation, and since they aren't confident in a win they aren't bothering to make the trip? I couldn't believe my luck yesterday, but oh well, a few frothies and an eagles final. my weekend just went up a notch.

 

[WCE_phil]

Was wondering if a few of the guys on the board wanted to catch up for a few drinks after the game at a pub close to the ground.

 

[Mattman93]

Really weird that it took this long to sell out (actually is it even sold out yet?)

Hoping for a killer atmosphere like the Carlton semi, especially given crowds just tend to be quieter on Sunday afternoons than, say, Friday or Saturday nights.

 

[lynchmob]

I tried this morning and could still find restricted seats in Section 415, seems strange nonetheless

The crowd at the Carlton game were almost feral. I like it.

 

[BraydenWCE]

Just searched then and can still get tickets in block 342, which are good seats. Strange...
