Hmm golds that don't have them yet, that's really strange. And going to be tough to chase up. I'd get started early because it could take a bit of work to clear up. Tweet and email everyone everywhere when you start chasing it up if ticketek act like they don't know what or how, hit up people like Robbo as he usually makes a big deal about stuff like that. Feeling for you at the moment, hopefully there's some reason.

Also I can't believe that bronze members could enter the ballot at the same level of chance as silver members who have 11 game memberships. I mean, come on.
 
Hi:- here's a plea. My mum is a silver member since 92 and got a standing room ticket in the ballot. She's just finishing chemo this Thursday and can't spend the whole game standing. Is anyone prepared to swap a seat for a standing room (inc payment for diff?)

Is everyone's tickets showing up in their ticketek account? I've just run the numbers on my cc a
What bank are you with?

ANZ, turns out it's all good, I called them to enquire about the transactions that make up the difference between available credit and balance and the ticketek authorisation is on the account. I would have thought that the ticket would be showing in my ticketek account, but at least the charge has gone through, so it's just a matter of waiting.

Actually, scratch that, needs to fly, which is impossible

Ticket no's show up tomorrow apparently
 
IMO the amount tickets you want would make a huge difference, the whole system is automated and would be like a massive jigsaw puzzle trying to allocate seats to everyone, the smaller the allocation you're wanting the easier you are to slot in somewhere.

Judging from social media heaps of silver members who balloted for a single ticket got lucky, so I definitely think it makes a difference.
Maybe for silver, not gold. I only wanted 2, got cat 5, have seen people get cat 1 2 or 3 only wanting 1 or 2. Same with bigger orders.

It's random.

Yep agreed, I think that will be rectified next year.
Anyone that's an 11 game member onward deserves a chance but 3 game members don't.

And that's coming from a 3 game member myself. I found a friends 11 game membership to upgrade (at my cost) the day before they sold out.
Then I give my bronze ballot barcodes to a random and they came up with standing...
Doesn't seem right!

Any chance I can take it off hands? I'll pay significantly...

Excellent

Yeah comparing the available balance vs outstanding balance is the key.

Even if the transaction doesn't appear yet, there is an initial hold of funds which immediately comes out of your available balance.
 
Any early guesses as to the crowd split. 17k tix each to crows and Richmond members. Of the remaining 65k I wonder how many crows fans we can pack in? MCC will largely be Richmond.
I'll be in the MCC (perks of entire family being Victorian)... my experience has been a lonely one there in the past. Might be 10% crows, 60% Richmond, and the rest members who entered the ballot (a lot of people make a real tradition of it even if they're not club supporters of the teams on the day). Some of them might just cheer for the Crows though. 2012 prelim I was on my absolute lonesome and that'll be the case this time too. It's a strange feeling and terrible if we lose. I'll be on Level 4 relatively close to the front, Centre wing (just above the TV/radio guys I think, and next to the TV camera :) ) so pretty pleased with that. It'll be my second gf but the first one was that Hawthorn thrashing a couple of years ago and that was over before half time - I'll be in for the whole grand final experience this time.

Ring the club, put it out on social media, say of course you'd be willing to pay the difference in ticket. You never know your luck.
 
Not looking good sadly for my priority 2 ballot barcodes I put in:(.

Seriously tempted to just drive to Melbourne and see how I go with scalpers on the day.

If it were me I'd seriously consider it without tickets. Even if you don't get in they say it's still a good experience.

Yeah at worst I just watch it in Fed Square or somewhere nearby. I have another die-hard Crow fan mate over there I can watch it with if we don't get in which would be fun.

Although it would be awesome to be back in time should we win for the presentation back here!


This is what my brother and I are doing..

I've never done that kind of thing but it's probably our best bet!

If you can not exchange tickets. A secondary strategy would be to use a wheelchair?

If she has just finished chemo, it wouldn't be unrealistic for her to be needing that anyway and if she used that on the day, I strongly believe a MCG Staff member will look after you/her and get you a very good viewing point. The MCG look after people with a disability/illness extremely well.

That's a very good point, try contacting MCG first surely something can be done.
