Tickets for Next Week

[WALL-e]

Which end of the ground is the Crows cheer squad?

 

[DirrtyBee]

Bar the bays directly behind the goals (M3 for Adelaide, of which a fair chunk would be set aside for the cheer squad) .

Hope that is correct! Whoop!

Which end of the ground is the Crows cheer squad?

I think it would depend on who we're playing. If its Collingwood they'll definitely be down the Punt Rd end, but if its St.Kilda I'm not sure.

 

[DirrtyBee]

The people on the phones woyld know right?

Which end of the ground is the Crows cheer squad?

City end for opposition cheers squads, Ive only ever sat at the other end twice once in 2003 for a game against Hawthorn and in 2002 SF against Melbourne.

You'd think I'd know, but I never book tickets, usually a rock up event and sit amongst the enemy.

 

[Gets!]

Dont think I will make the trip over.

Would rather save some coin if we progress further, if we don't progress, well then I will be glad I didnt go over.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Basically, avoid the Ponsford stand at any cost, anywhere else should be relatively safe.

Bring on Monday.

Why do we want to avoid the Ponsford stand?

 

[Permanence]

does anyone know if you can buy more then 1 ticket per membership?

Story is I need 7 tickets, and have 6 memberships. Would rather all sit together rather then two groups.

Nope one ticket per membership.

Anyone know if they will be checking membership cards at the gate next Sat @ the G?

(From the Crows email)

[FONT=&quot]NOTE:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Members will need to present their appropriate membership cards and concession cards (where applicable) at point of purchase and collection[/FONT]

Reading a thread last week re: AAMI - the above wouldn't apply if you printed them at home.

thoughts?

 

[MarksGirl-kbcrowgirl]

If you are picking your tickets up at the MCG box office, they WILL check your tickets. I have done that before and for each ticket bought you needed a Membership card as well.

If you can print it at home, i doubt you will need it, but I wouldn't be risking it. I'd take it JIC!!

The Collingwood cheersquad are always (when its a home game) at the Ponsford stand end so the crows cheersquad will be up the other end! M3 or whatever it is up there!

 

[McLeodMagic]

So it's one ticket per membership? Doesn't it say in the email you just gotta quote GOCROWS or do you actually need the barcode number of the memberships?

Might have to wait till Wednesday then if that's the case.

 

[DirrtyBee]

We can pick up tickets at Ticketek outlets in Adelaide right?

I have 1 spare membership if anybody needs a barcode.

 

[lincsPJ]

Why do we want to avoid the Ponsford stand?

im assuming hes referring to the fact that the pies supporters usually dominate the bays at that end.

the first balcony in the ponsford though is absolute prime. i've sat there a couple times before and would do so again.

Spot on. I've sat in level 2 of the Ponsford for previous MCG games I've attended post-redevelopment and they are fantastic seats. However, the thought of being surrounded by 20 000+ Collingwood supporters and the Collingwood cheer squad in that stand (and the associated health risks) will see me looking to sit either sitting in the Olympic or Great Southern Stand.

Hopefully the Ticketek website lets you select the level you want to sit on.

This is from the Ticketek website:

Collingwood and Adelaide members have a limit of one ticket per membership and eight tickets per transaction.
Adelaide members will be required to present their membership card in conjunction with their reserved seat ticket at the MCG on match day.

 

[DirrtyBee]

So they will have to check every ticket to check whether tickets were bought on Mon-Tues? What difference does it make on the day.

 

[McLeodMagic]

This is from the Ticketek website:

I don't get why it says this in the email:

If you are purchasing tickets online, you will need to enter the password GOCROWS in the field designated for club member barcodes.

So you just need to put in GOCROWS for each ticket you buy or GOCROWS plus the barcode number for each?

Thanks cap

Anyway I've confirmed an insane road trip next weekend. Leaving Saturday morning, go to game, drive back to Horsham, stay o/night in Horsham, then drive home Sunday.

For those looking for cheap accommodation, Quickbeds has some hostels for under $100, whilst Hotel Formulae 1 (Accor's el-cheapo chain) is about $105 on the Saturday night.

agreed brucetiki, I can recommend hotel forumae1 in elizabeth street cbd melboure, stayed there before & there again sat night. $119 for four is cheap, clean, secure & convenient. Without the convenience of a kitchenette, or even a fridge or kettle, but suitable if you just need a bed for 6-8 hours.

Yeah I was considering them, and if I didn't want to be back for the SANFL QF on Sunday (hence we're driving back to Horsham after the game), probably would have stayed there. Just one question - is it shared or private bathroom facilities?

 

[brucetiki]

Thanks for the heads up CG. I wonder why the MCG/Ticketek are so pedantic about this? Maybe it was our thread last week that's caused this
