FYI 2019 Grand Final - RFC Priority Groups/AFL Grand Final Ticketing

We are priority 1 and in 2017 got Q 57 this year we got M7.
Go figure it's like chook lotto.
Now the whole pulling of tickets reeks of fiasco.

Similar to you Tigers but opposite. Priority 1 and in 2017 I got M2 3 row from the front. Last night my account showed Q35 row Y.
Just looked at my account now and it's now disappeared. Don't know what's happening. I rang my credit card company yesterday and they confirmed ticketek debited the amount already.
 
Pretty sure that's standard practice for the GF.... this is the first year I've done them online and I'm thinking we have to collect them from an agency. You need to have the credit card used for purchase and photo ID.

Oh that’d be great. I’ll go into local Ticketek agent during the week. Thanks for info.

I guess, although seems like a bit of a rort to slug us 5 bucks for the ballot if there is almost zero chance of us getting a ticket.

Oh well, telly it is.
Given we are playing GWS there is always hope. If they don’t take up their full allocation they will be reallocated later in the week. I can’t see how they could take up all their tickets to be honest

I am in forward pocket PRE In Olympic stand, very close to the fence. Very happy
 
I think those who have received a ticket and whinging about their seat allocation need to just be grateful. There are going to be many many long- term die hard supporters that are going to miss out all together. Any anger should be placed squarely at the feet of corporate allocation. Club supporters should be first, not those with no interest in either club wanting nice champagne and 3 course meals. Plenty of home and away games for that. So please be grateful and don't rub it in for the many that will miss out.

AFL will reduce price and give away GWS jumpers to ensure there is sufficient plastic support for GWS.

I agree - GWS average 12,000 at home and I’m not sure how many of them will have gone into the ballot, bearing in mind it involves Inter-state travel and they’ve lost all their previous Prelim finals. The wording on the ballot email was:

Ticket allocations will take place on 21-22 September once Grand Finalists are confirmed.

So until midnight there’s still some hope (and a VFL Grand Final to enjoy)...

Maybe but it’s with ticketec now. GWS would have had to register for the ballot like we did. Unused tickets go back to the AFL as I understand it and you would expect those to be general public release
 
I’ve just seen a post on Facebook. Some one has spoken to Ticketek and the ticket that were allocated are yours. There was a glitch and we Should receive an email on Monday regarding collection

Yeah as Priority 3 this is what I’m hoping for. It says in the GF ticketing info that from 17-40K are for club members from competing clubs. If GWS can’t fulfill it’s numbers then we may be in with a shot.

If anyone wants to swap my 2 standing tickets for any level 4 seats (any row) , I’m in

I'm a sceptic on this. AFL have been dreaming for GWS or GC to make the GF. I'm sure if they had sinister plans AFL would have their backup plan in place. Apparently GWS have around 25k supporters and release is 17k or so. Joining GWS as a member was always an option earlier in the season :D

I don't think they would go to general public release. I think (and it should) go to those registered in the ballots that are missing out. I don't think there's been tickets available to the general public for decades, unless you count the giveaways in competitions or corporates.

You are justified to be a sceptic TL but until proven otherwise I will hope you are wrong
