Re: GRAND FINAL TICKET BALLOT THURSDAY 15 SEPTEMBER - Geelong finals ticket information and enquirie

Does anyone know how many seats will be available to Geelong members from the ballot?

I saw this: http://mm.afl.com.au/portals/0/2011...y of returns allocations onsellers_310711.pdf

1. Competing Club Members 16000 – 35000
2. AFL Clubs (17) 5000 - 17000
3. MCC Reserve 16000 – 26000
4. AFL Members 13000 – 23000
5. AFL/Medallion Club Members 4500 – 5000
6. AFL Entitlements/Contractual Obligations 5000 – 25000
7. Competing Clubs 0 – 5000​

Total 100,000 (approx)


Just wondering why there would be such a discrepancy in the allocation of seats to club members. Is it weighted in terms of total membership? For example, saying Collingwood has twice as many members as us (not really, but stay with me), I assume that means all of the 35k will be allocated, but would it be on a 2-1 basis (11,666 to Geelong; 23,333 to Collingwood)? Or is it 17.5k for each club?

Re: GRAND FINAL TICKET BALLOT THURSDAY 15 SEPTEMBER - Geelong finals ticket information and enquirie

I think I remember reading a few years ago there is some correlation between size of membership base. But that may be done on eligible grand final ticket members rather than all members (ie. I assume a lot of Collingwood's members are not eligible to purchase a grand final ticket through their membership).

Those ranges above are very vague, here is how the allocation ended up last year:

Category ACTUAL Range
1 Competing Club members 24,742 16,000 – 26,000
2 AFL Clubs (16 x 1000) 16,000 16,000
3 MCC Reserve 25,271 16,000 - 26,000
4 AFL Members 15,261 13,000 - 23,000
5 AFL/Medallion Club 5,000 4,500-5,000
6 AFL Entitlements/Contractual Obligations 13,232 5,000 - 15,000
7 Competing Clubs 100 0 - 2500
TOTAL 99,606

How do we know if we're priority 1 or 2?

Re: GRAND FINAL TICKET BALLOT THURSDAY 15 SEPTEMBER - Geelong finals ticket information and enquirie

Priority 1: Full Social Club, Premiership Member or Legends member
Priority 2: the rest

 

[thecatattack]

So I'm guessing an 11 home game member is priority 2?

Correct. You can enter from midday.

You might want to make sure the club has your correct contact details for future things.

The weird this is I've received plenty of correspondence from them in the past. Including this year.

Importantly my priority registration went through without a hitch
