Quite rude! I can't go and neither could another so we gave them to a BF member. Never did the thought enter our minds to make a profit off the tickets. Poor form, but not unsurprising really.

These people have accessed legitimate membership barcodes to purchase the tickets.Are they the Eagles mob who buy our memberships 'cos theirs is closed plus some of our own who would rather turn a profit than go to the game??
Humans eh;who'd trust'em!

You'd think they could just update the membership attached to your barcode. Buy your tickets and take your card or give your card to whoever is going to use your membership for the day. It would hurt those who genuinely try to help another fan out by passing on a barcode but at least it'd make it a bit harder to outright scalp tickets.

Because it's one of the perks of it. I do think it should be AFL Club allocations first, meaning you'd have to be a Freo or Swans fan to get them at the same time as general Dockers member. But how many Full AFL Members can be bothered scalping tickets? The only thing they do is unfairly attend the GF.

Cancelled
I thought anti scalping laws made it illegal to sell a ticket for anything other than face value.
Yep, that's right. It's not actually illegal to scalp tickets (other than the GF), but it is against the conditions of sale. The event promoter can cancel the ticket.
Only the GF.

There were at least 20-30 people queing at the Murdoch Uni Ticketmaster when I grabbed lunch there about 20 minutes ago. Thankfully they had provided seats for the people, but the line looked long enough for me to want to risk the website instead to try and grab a couple of tickets.
I'm never lining up again!
Got down to the ticket outlet at 6.20am, about 15-20 people in front of me (mostly grey nomad varieties) and by the time all the diddering old nannas had finished complaining about not being able to get their own seats, fumbling around paying in 5, 10 and 20c pieces and generally just holding up everybody the best I got was seats in 145(city end/near point post/railway side) Crap seats but at least I'm there..
I'm gutted. Gave my membership to a friend so we could go together. They couldn't get through the computer system, so now I won't be going.
i know aye, people are just trying to blatantly rip footy fans off. Prices are astronomical on Ebay as well.

Clems Knee - scroll up about ten posts and it could be a match made in heaven
Try purchasing when general public get access at 2pm. Hopefully there will be a few left over for you guys
Public allocation of all remaining tickets on sale in 30mins. - your best shot.
There will be good seats leftover from Sydney allocation at 2pm.
Or a "smash and grab" from the gumtree scalper who'll meet you in the CBD.
I'll take them!!!!!
just tried to buy one ticket at any price and was told its unavailable. sold out then?
