Looks like I'll be exhausting all other options this year!
Last year got lucky with MCC ticket.
Anyone else have to find a different avenue last year? what did you do?

I'm a category 3. Can someone give me the odds of getting a ticket in the ballot.  5%???

Some friends of mine were able to get 2 tickets together with their Cat 3. They ended up sitting in the back row of level 4 for the GF.


Not ideal, but a seat is a seat at the GF.

Interesting. I was in the ballot as a priority 2 with 2 tickets as well and missed out. You sure they were priority 3?

That is exactly what  my son and I did, although we were Cat 2. Got two tickets together in the very back row of the 4th level of the stand at the punt road end.

I think that this year they have added an extra category.

If you have a P1 category ticket, can you sign up someone else that isn’t P1?

I am a MRC but a friend is gold member.

Can i get one for him if I use the barcode?

No

You try and register together YOU drop back to category 3. You forfiet your category 1

This is clearly explained in the letters the club sent out to all members

i think its wrong how you cant get 2 tickets if you have 2 memberships. I have an afl and club and should be able to get 2 and if i am successful either way can sell it back on the ticketek resellers website

If anyone has a leftover Gold barcode they don't need and are happy to donate it to a good cause, please PM me.  It's probably not worth the time of registering but you never know!

Haven't had too much trouble. Managed to registered my 1x P1 and 2x P3 within 5 mins or so.

Don't like my P3 changes of getting tickets two years in a row though. Really should have taken up the MR memberships :(

I was same as WP but was done within a couple of minutes. Did people opt into standing room or not? Last year, I remember that if you didn’t click the standing room option then you might lose your option of getting a ticket or was I mistaken?
