Sounds like there's been a change to that category that I'm not aware of.
I know we've lost some of the benefits we once had which sucks

Seriously torch, what does it matter?
If you are MRS member and been told you are priority one for registering what does it matter?
22 years a member and still only priority 3!!
One of the many challenges with having 100k+ members and there only being 17k tickets for each competing club.
Don't think there is a fairer way the club can do it...
-
The years criteria should change. Gold at 10 years is too low. Gold should be 20 years to 30 years and Platinum should be 30 years plus.
As someone who is on the verge of platinum it would be bad for me but its not right that someone who has only just done 10 years gets similar rights to someone who had been a consrcutive member for much longer.
-
Unfortunately, it’s always going to be the more you pay, the more you get. Each year the club resets. It needs more money to run. What happened last year doesn’t count. That’s reality. The club has to balance long term commitment to large cash input and if people don’t get much return for their higher level membership, why would they bother forking out the cash?

10 years is a long time. I've been a member since I could walk, only just ticked over to platinum this season. Is it fair that someone who has literally been a member their entire life misses out on a GF because they literally arn't old enough?
Think it's fine, personally. I still got a standing room ticket in '17 with my gold membership. They can never take that away from me :)
-
If anyone gets a spare ticket via the ballot and can't go can I be the first to get access.
Yeah, I'm not proud, just want to go once in my lifetime.

So you want to suddenly change something that's been in place for over 20 years? Why? Becasue the club has 100k+ members and is trying to manage something that's beyond their control.

i agree with ramps on this one? Its actually a fairer thing to do IMO
i wont ever cancel my afl membership for fear of missing out on my club ballot, which i suspect i will even at 17 years service.
anyway good luck to all.

10 years is too low for gold. Thats all. It should be hard to get gold or platinum. What ive advocated is
to my personal detriment but the club should reward the diehards who were there 20 years when we were crap and only had like 20,000 members.
-
Does anyone ( honestly) have an idea how many gold members we have?
Genuine question, I was just wondering.

Hey guys.
Just wanted to bump this thread, with all the others getting plenty of attention this morning.
If you're like me and in the ballot, remember to make sure you've got funds in the right accounts and ready to go for a potential debit. I think you'd need up to $500 per ticket potentially, so make sure you've got it covered.
:gotigers
-
Good luck everyone
-
Anyone had anything debited? I can’t remember what time they went through last year but I think it’s approaching that time soon.
-
Not yet but don't expect to as priority 3
-
Anyone had anything debited? I can’t remember what time they went through last year but I think it’s approaching that time soon.
Yes ours have been debited, we were priority 1 :clapping. Category 2 seats :thumbsup
Richmond ballot being done today because we played last night
Winner of today's game ballet will be done tomorrow
I remember in 2017, my credit card didn't get debited until after 7.30pm on the Sunday night
-
not yet and we are P1 :pray

Sorry I meant this time of day.
But good to know it’ll still be rolling until later on in the evening.
-
My account has been debited $381, which looks like a Category 3 seat.

What priority are you mate?
-
MRC Club - priority one, DTRF.
-
Just been debited money.
-
My brother just got docked $824 - he and my dad are MRC. Does that sound like cat2?
I sadly declined my MRC because I'd just found out we were expecting and I didn't want to spend the $$$ on myself, so my fingers are crossed for any of a P2 and P3.
-
Actually...
There are 3 transactions
$824 for 2x priority 1's
$185
And $155
So it sounds like our P2 and P3 all came through?
-
Did any priority 3 people get tix
-
I'm priority 3 and nothing has been debited yet, being an MCC member I'm very relieved we are playing GWS and hopefully some tickets will come back in the ballot with Cats and Pies out.
Can I assume with nothing debited that I missed out on tickets?
-
Got a text this morning saying it could be today or even tomorrow
-
Got a debit for 155 which means restricted view. Thought I would get better but at least it’s a seat
-

Think it means standing room mate.
I got debited for 2x that amount, for two priority 2 barcodes. I can only assume it’s Standing Room.
-
Yep it’s standing room
-
All done.
Great seats on the wing.
Eat Em Alive.

Yeah no text means you miss out as I have.
That's why I will never cancel my afl full membership, because relying on the club to look after its actual members is too much of an ask it seems.
-
surprised so people know there Aisle and Seat number already?
-
Just had a look at a FB page and apparently because GWS won those that were debited were refunded and their tickets have been re allocated. Anyone know of this happening?
-
All tickets pulled that were allocated.
Apart from that no one knows what's going on.
Again Ticketek stuffing up.
-
What? All tickets pulled and reallocated?
-
Sounds like allocated seat tickets might be reallocated
Hoping for a very hostile Richmond crowd
-
AFL members tickets sorted, Level 2A M19 :cheers
-
Ticketek won’t suppose to show seat details hence why it’s been pulled from order history, so allocated seats stay the same. Hope it’s not true though!
-
AFL members tickets sorted, Level 2A M19 :cheers
level 1 mate?
I got m15,
-
some peoples still showing showing ours not, Mine showed when I did the ballot in 2017. Someone else did ours this year.

Yep looks like we have the same which is Cat 5, how bad do you think the seats are?
-
Cat 5 will be fine. Honestly no worries at all.
-
Looks like ballot luck wasn't on my side as a gold member. Hopefully GWS don't use their allocation and I get a pleasant surprise by midday tomorrow.
-
Cat 5 will be fine. Honestly no worries at all.
A mate just sent me a screen shot of the category maps and cat 5 is right up the top level 3 :'(
-
Gee some people are hard to please. In 2017 my tickets were QF, meaning top of the Great Southern stand restricted viewing. My son and I went and I wouldn’t swap the memories for anything.
If you get a ticket no matter how, be grateful for it cause a lot of people won’t.
-
Absolutely right. Id love to go but financially cant afford to and with dialysis treatment and tendonitis in my right ankle Ive decided to watch from home.
-
4 years ago if I was told Richmond would play in a GF but I could only listen to it on the radio, I'd say sure.
Just stuffing happy to be the club we are today. What a great group
Go Tiges

I suppose that was a swipe at me? :thumbsdown
Whilst I'm physically capable of getting to the top we have a ticket holder that won't be able to due to a disability so that's why I think it sucks as they most likely will miss out after having paid for priority 1 access for over a decade.
No need for the cheap shot

I don't think it was just directed at you EemA. There has been alot of complaints by a number of posters unhappy with what they've got.
Just on your friend Couldn't you register them for a special seat?. I thought you could for people with disability?
But people need to understand we have 100k + members, the AFL only allocate 17k tickets to each of the competing clubs. People are going to be disappointed, it cannot be avoided. Our club is doing the best they can with how the ballot works.

Cheryl Critchley (journo & Tiger supporter) was on Ch 7 news tonight saying that if GWS doesn't fill its quota then those left over tickets should go to Richmond members.

Thank you WP
It wasn’t a cheap shot at anyone. Forget the 100,000 members we have, there would be a hell of a lot more people out there supporting the Tigers who would love a ticket but will not get one. My point simply was that if you are lucky enough to get one, be grateful for it.
FWIW, I think I have seen the Tigers ‘live’ about 15 times in my life. To put that into perspective, I am less than 5 years off getting the guarantee for a GF ticket. The last game I have been to was the 2017 GF. That ticket was more precious to me than just about anything in the world. After that game, I was happy but also felt a bit empty because I realised that I had fulfilled a dream, the top of my bucket list and that a lot of people, included many I knew, would never get to see the Tigers win a flag ‘live’ despite it being their dream too.
So this time I didn’t go in the ballot. I felt I should let someone else have a go. I sincerely hope that a lot of people who didn’t get to go in 2017 get a ticket this time.

Tigers fans hope to pounce on unwanted GWS AFL grand final tickets
Rachel Wells, Carolyn Webb
The Age
22 September 2019
AFL Fans Association vice president and Richmond member Cheryl Critchley was among thousands of Richmond members who were allocated tickets on Saturday - only to have any history of their seat allocation disappear shortly after.
The tickets reappeared in their account history hours later. Ms Critchley said it was an "anxious" time for fans.
Ticketek did not respond to questions from The Age.
All Richmond and GWS members who registered in their clubs' ballot will know by Monday if they have got tickets to Saturday's grand final, with each club allocated 17,000 tickets for their members.
However, Richmond supporters are hoping GWS's 30,109 members will not take up their allocation of tickets and they can be transferred to Tigers members. Richmond has 103,358 members.
AFL Fans Association president Gerry Eeman said the fact that tens of thousands of die-hard and paid-up Richmond members would miss out on grand final tickets highlighted the need for the AFL to allocate more tickets to competing club members.
"The Tigers and Giants have a combined 133,467 members who will share just 34,000 tickets – just a one in four chance of securing one," he said.
“Thousands of tickets each year get allocated to non-competing clubs which in turn funnel many of these tickets into expensive packages. Simply put, the allocation to non-competing clubs must be scrapped. It’s an insult to members of the competing clubs who miss out each year."
On Sunday afternoon, the AFL confirmed that any of the 17,000 tickets not taken up by GWS members would be offered to Richmond members.
GWS spokesman Leigh Meyrick said the club would not know until Monday how many of its 17,000 tickets had been allocated in the ballot.
In 2016, 200 standing tickets not used by Sydney Swans members were transferred to Bulldogs members, who got to witness their team win the premiership.
Meanwhile, tickets for gold AFL members who support competing clubs went on sale at 11am on Sunday. No tickets were made available to AFL silver members.
Dan Bryan, 40, of Hobart, said he had booked flights and accommodation for himself and his brother-in-law Andy Connor, from Friday to Sunday but has no tickets to the game.
He is "hoping that a miracle will happen and I can get to the MCG on grand final day’’.
Christine Maynard, 44, of Richmond, said she and her son Kai, 11, ‘‘sit out in the rain every week’’ to watch Richmond play, however while she is eligible for the club ticket ballot as a gold member (a member for 10 years plus), Kai isn’t eligible because he is silver member.
She has been taking her son to Richmond games since he was a week and a half old. It was not fair that ‘‘people who don’t even follow Richmond and don’t go to games’’ can go to the Grand Final, for example corporate people and AFL members.
Ms Maynard said she bought tickets to the 2017 grand final for $1500, which the original buyer bought for $200.
Ali Yesilyurt, 49, of Roxburgh Park, would dearly like tickets for himself and his fellow Richmond fanatic son Salih, 25.
Yesilyurt is a Richmond member, but his younger son, Bilal, 20, has autism and can’t handle crowds, so this year the only game Ali went to was Friday night’s preliminary final against Geelong.
He has been unsuccessful in ballots for grand final tickets and has been scouring social media and asking friends for spare tickets.
"If tickets did come our way we’d be over the moon, we’d be thrilled to bits," said Ali, who has never watched Richmond live at a grand final.
Salih said he grew up watching Richmond often lose and in 2017 he and his dad watched them win the grand final on TV at a cousin’s house in Glenroy.
‘‘It would mean the world’’ to be at the MCG on Saturday. ‘‘Ever since I’ve followed footy from the early 2000s, my team has been not that good, the laughing stock," Salih said.
"Now that we’re a good team, it feels unreal. And I don’t know when this opportunity might come again."
Tens of thousands of footy fans are set to descend on Melbourne during grand final week.
More than 70 extra train and tram services will be added to the regular timetable to help Tigers and Giants fans enjoy the grand final and Friday's grand final parade.
From Wednesday until Saturday, the free tram zone will also be extended to include Route 70 stops at Melbourne Arena and route 48 and 75 stops at Jolimont station. Additional route 70 and 75 trams will also be put on.
Meanwhile, Swan Street will be closed to traffic between Punt Road and Church Street from 4.30pm on Saturday to help cope with an expected influx of Tigers fans.
Route 70 trams will be diverted down Bridge Road, between Russell Street and Riversdale Junction.

8 was the limit in a group, you could only register 8 barcodes
And we got category 2 seats, level P in GSS
In 2017 and now 2019 I haven't heard of anyone getting category 1 seats

This.
I do not know of one single group who has done better than cat 4.

Corporates get the good seats people.
-
Corporates should get good seats
Take Toyota as example .. they get a heap of seats and they get distributed around the dealer network
With the amount of money Toyota invests to be the major sponsor, they should get a bucketload of seats .. it’s big business and the way it is
Without corporate dollars there wouldn’t be a competition
-
But it goes both ways right? Without fans and members you have a rubbish spectacle of a sport. Whenever the media does feel good stories of fans having their dreams realised watching their team in the GF, they’ Getting sound bites from patient bulldogs fans (2016) or the tiger army in 2017. They’re not interviewing a board member of Toyota or AAMI how much they love football

I have 4 premiership circle seats and a high level coterie membership. I used the premiership circle seats to get 4 tickets so I could go with my family. I ended up getting category 1 through that method.....

All I did was register at 0800.01. Not sure if that helped....

Same, I just think it’s completely random unless your coterie helps

Footy fans angry as bought Grand Final seats 'disappear' online
Lucy Mae Beers
23 Sep 2019
AFL fans are demanding answers after details of their purchased Grand Final tickets disappeared from their online accounts.
Richmond Tigers fans took to social media over the weekend, claiming their allocations are not showing up in their Ticketek order history.
As the payments have already been processed, many are wondering if they will still have seats at Saturday's clash between the Tigers and GWS Giants at the MCG.
The tickets are the member ballot tickets as some supporters are guaranteed a Grand Final ticket as part of their club membership deal if their team make it.
On Saturday, thousands of Richmond fans received confirmation of their seats from Ticketek, but a few hours later the transaction records disappeared from their accounts.
"Is it possible you have stuffed it up again? I had seats now I don’t. You’ve taken my money," one angry fan tweeted.
Another said: "I had tickets allocated yesterday and they are now not in my history anymore if I don’t have the original seats I was allocated I will be filthy angry!"
Ticketek have responded, saying the ballots are still being processed and fans can check if they were successful from 9am on Monday.
"Payment was processed over the weekend but allocation is being released tomorrow, please check back then," Ticketek tweeted in response to a concerned fan.
"The ballot information from your AFL club, credit card charges may appear on the 21st or 22nd of September.
"Members will be able to see if they were successful or unsuccessful on the Ticketek website from Monday 23 September."

No idea.
Just got another text saying the tickets are on sale now even though it's now 15 minutes past noon.
-
Tickets are still available, just got 2 more tickets via ticketek for 7,8,9 year members which started at 2pm
Too easy.....

Kinda sucks that Platinum members who got allocated SR in the initial tiger ballot now get trumped by gold members who receive higher category in the resale.
Anyway.

What cat tickets?
Wondering if I should be disappointed my P2 and P3 memberships yielded a Cat 7 + standing room.
Could have put them back in today maybe for something better? :(

Cat 4's according to pmac.
My feelings exactly.

A lot of people probably would have done better today.
They should have had a larger tiger allocation in the ballot but I guess it would have been hard to predict how many GWS tickets would be snapped up.

Relax...my cousin in Mount Druitt and his de facto already snagged both GWS tickets ... :shh
