Each standing area is mixed. There will be eagles fans in your section. My tip is get in when gates open. Boring few hours but worth it. Make friends with the other die hards who go in first also and are next to you. Need them to save your spot when U go for drinks food toilet.I got a bloody ticket!
Through a Collingwood friend and now I have a standing room ticket
Obviously super stoked to be going, but would love to be with some other Eagles friends/fans. Does anyone know how easy it is to move between the two standing areas of different supporter base?

Hi All. Does anyone know about ID checking for an AFL Members tomorrow ?

As full AFL members I've never been ID checked or anyone in my family... so you'd be stiff to be picked out.
My brother once was asked to show his Membership Card at the Rich/GWS prelim last year and he's a Tigers AFL member wearing a Tigers scarf (I had all the cards on me and was already in... he simply pointed at me and said my brothers got the cards and was just let in).
I hear the guys doing random checks are wearing orange and usually hangout to the sides of the gate 7.
Hopefully you have the membership card as well as I believe they only ask for ID if you can't present the card.
I'd also enter the stadium as a neautral and keep an eagles merch under a jacket or in a bag as ther'e's only about 250 full AFL West Coast Members so too may Eagles going through the AFL members might be sus.
Good luck tomorrow.

Sure did (after much drama at the gate) - ticket came up cancelled when scanned! Managed to work it out and entered the G as the anthem played. Worth the drama!!

Did someone do a shifty on you or was the ticket alright in the end?
No-one sitting in your seat?
The light-towers are still decent viewing.
Huge shoutout to whatis for coming through with tickets.
After being desperately unlucky in the ballot I ended up being able to track down one ticket from a friend. Given that I was travelling with my cousin, who was himself unsuccessful in the ballot, one ticket wasn't going to cut it.
After connecting with him courtesy of this thread, whatis offered to exchange his tickets for my ticket so that we could make it to the game. He made no profit from this and for his troubles had to go through the ordeal of finding me in the GF parade crowd to make the exchange. He did this despite actually knowing people who were looking for tickets, because he recognised that we needed to be there and they simply wanted to witness the theatre of it all.
Totally transparent and entirely helpful.
When I embraced Phil Matera after the game, I hugged him for both of us. Onya mate.

This is the standing room photos taken in the 2018 Grand Final in case they are useful for your future consideration. Also some notes as follows:
1. The standing room is actually the walk way behind the reserved seats at the lowest level.
2. Photo taken at around 11:00am and not many people there yet. (have no idea when it is fully filled)
3. It is a common area (walkway) and hence anybody can get in without second check of ticket.
4. I share similar feeling to Spider Eater‘s comment on his viewing experience though i did not watch the game there. However, if you have a front standing position, it should be acceptable when you have no other choice.
Hope this information help the WCE fans to make the right choice in our potential 2019 B2B GF.
I would take standing room over not being at the ground.
Not really related but i just HAD to brag
The old boy and old girl are noteholders and next granny mums decided i get to go.
So now the team should be super motivated to go b2b
Please?
