There isn’t a bad seat at the SCG. Even so called restricted view isn’t restricted

Am I the only one who is completely shocked that our club couldn't fill a measly 14k member allocation for a home prelim?Yes, that is the case as below.
I heard on some podcast today that generally the home club gets more tickets allocated as they have earnt that 'advantage' of a larger crowd.
So not sure why this wasn't the case for us. Just the usual AFL love for the Swans I guess.
The SCG holds 48,000 fans, so only 28,0000 tickets are available for club members. The 50-50 split means Collingwood members have been allocated 14,000 tickets, but that could increase should Swans members not take up their entire portion.

Any wonder they gave Collingwood the same allocation.
Pathetic effort

So potentially less than 30% of the ground will be Swans fans.
I assume a lot of SCG ticket holders will be pro-Swans, plus all the tickets issues for Swans players friends and families which will help, but jeezuz!
Would be interested on the allocation of those other 20,000 seats!
Can everyone here lucky enough to be going make and take a cardboard megaphone please:

My understanding was the pies members would get 10,000 tickets and if swans members did not sell fully that would only go up to 13,000. Seems a bit excessive to be fair. Basically a quarter of the ground.
I will try to make the noise of 5 people to make up for it!! Very lucky and happy I have tickets, cannot wait!!

I don’t believe for a second we didn’t use 14k. I’ve been fielding calls all day from Sydney and Melbourne Bloods alike.

I dare say the only reason we wouldn't have used our full allocation is because people were stuck in the ticket queue and the ticket window passed before they could secure a ticket. Too many people saying they missed out from the members period to suggest we didn't buy up the full allocation.

Was an absolute nightmare trying to get a ticket (i failed). Also have plenty of mates who wanted to go with a bigger group of friends and so decided to try wait since members could only get one ticket. Anyone know of a good pub to go watch at?

Hi all,
I’ve put down three barcodes for the ballot. Unfortunately, now one in my group won’t be able to make it.
I don’t want to muck around with calling Ticketek and changing my entry now, in the small off-chance they muck it up and take all of my ballot entries out.
So in the chance I get 3 grand final tickets I will have a spare. If anyone is keen for the spare ticket (if I get it) please PM me and I will sell it for face value.

My friend just informed me that nobody he knows was able to get tickets to the game. Now that involves a lot of people. Including many from Rainbow Swans. Has anybody here managed to get tickets?
There are three seperate groups of friends that have not had any success getting tickets. They all started applying when the ticket sales opened. The other thing is a few here and on ROW are saying they were only allowed one ticket per barcode.
I wonder if Pies fans had trouble getting tickets or were only allowed one ticket per barcode?

I got in twice. First time I got timed out due to selecting the wrong payment method, then logged back in around 11am and got in with 10 mins. You 100% had to not refresh - just wait in the queue. Some people said they had better luck via mobile but I was on a laptop.
Everyone was restricted to 1 ticket per barcode.
What I have heard is SCG members had all sorts of problems as they lost about half their usually access. If they were SCG members then maybe that was it?
So let me get this straight, our home game so AFL goes and purchases 15k tickets for Pies members so they can attend. So we basically remove our right to have a home final then and deserving of one? Nearly 1 in 3 fans will be Pies based on that. Would we ever have 1 in 3 at the G for Swannies? 
Big clubs seem to dictate finals ticketing.

No. That’s not right. There is always equal allocation between club members in finals.So let me get this straight, our home game so AFL goes and purchases 15k tickets for Pies members so they can attend.

On the contrary, I didn't know anyone that missed out.
We got a total of 24 tickets in groups, between our big group. Then I had a group chat going with about 8 others who all got tickets. Only one I knew of that didn't get one was in the general public sale.

There is no "queue" - it's random. All that matters is volume of devices (i.e. the more separate 'entries' you have the more likely you are to get in)
