Registration day for grand final

[estibador]

and now non members might have an idea why paid members were upset about them securing barcodes

You keep complaining about people who didn't buy a membership being desperate to go, but why didn't you just buy the $30 upgrade if you're so desperate to go? It's pretty much the same thing.

no it's not mate...have been a Quay club member for 19 yrs. We had spare numbers and last thing I would do is be a traitor to the people I sit next to week in week out, because I can make a few bucks out of it.

 

[Taylor]

That's depressing. Oh well. Serves me right for only being a regular member.

Let's see how it turns out. I'll either get one and pay the fortune for flights and a room or I'll watch it at home.

I'm just saying, you were arguing earlier that people should have been willing to fork out for memberships if they wanted a ticket, but you can just as easily say people like you should have been willing to fork out for an upgrade if they wanted a ticket. It's essentially the same argument.

I hope everyone on here gets a ticket though, there should be a priority category for people who are so obsessed we log on to a footy forum every day.

 

[Purple Jesus]

It's $30, and hardly a surprise. There were still available even up to a few months ago to get.

 

[Alfonz]

Looks like it's a 50-50 chance for priority two ballot

58.98% chance to be almost exact.

I wonder how your chances go when you guy in groups, fitting 4 might be harder than 1 or 2.

I think that is likely (or do I just think that because I want it to be true!)

 

[Taylor]

I think that is likely (or do I just think that because I want it to be true!)

I hope so too. It said that each entry, regardless of the number of codes, counts as one ballot entry. I guess it's possible that the first five drawn are 5x1000 code conglomerates and everyone else is stuffed.

Certainly you would expect towards the end of the allocations this would be the case. All depends where/when you are drawn out.

Each entry was a max of 8 tickets.

Spotto.

Of all people, you should have forked out.

Best of luck to all on the ticket thing.

 

[Paracleet]

I reckon the upshot would be is that if you're in the ballot with a single barcode you a very unlikley to miss out, since when they come to filling blocks out at the end there will be single seats, any higher number and you could miss out.
Basically we just have to hope that by random chance a large number the ballot tickets not drawn are for those gunning for 4 to 8 seats since that would leave more for the rest of us. Unless you happen to be one of those people I suppose.

they did suggest on their facebook that you break up larger groups for that reason, but then what would happen if half your group got tickets the the others didn't? it's all roulette in the end

 

[Purple_Passion]

As a side note: Ticketek pocketed $93,940.00 from Freo fans registering there barcodes yesterday, that's a nice little profit, considering they did nothing.

You have 2 adults and 2 kids right? I would've done 2 entries with an adult + concession, then at least one half of you could go.

I don't like to deal in hypotheticals but if that happened, just take the child who has given greater effort in their support this year.

 

[FyfesBoot]

at least we have flights and accommodation

Aren't they mine now?
