Guys, I managed to get a ticket through a mate's little cousin who is a tiger member. The only thing is, it's a concession ticket...

Will I have any problems getting in do you think? I'm hoping they won't really be checking for concession at the turnstiles.

Any info on this would be appreciated.

Cheers.

You'll be right I think. My old man is concession and I checked once when he scanned in from the other side of the gate and nothing special showed up (I wanted to see in case someone else ever had to use his membership).

Join me in being nervous though. I've got my in laws AFL reserve. They've given me their AFL membership cards too just in case I get checked but my anxiety won't stop until my bum is in my seat.

I've gone as a concession a few times when I was a student and it was hit and miss. On reflection it was maybe only the quieter games they checked? But don't trust me on that. Can you swap your ticket with anyone to get in the gate who is a concession then just swap back?

dont show ID if they ask and you will be fine. I am an afl member and i still was pulled up last year for the first time (mainly because i ran in just before the game started and there were not many people around gate 6)

best advice is to mingle in with the crowd and avoid any dude wearing an afl coat (last year they were wearing red)

if there are issues you have gate 7

good luck pal u should be fine

 :cheers cheers. Sounds like the other advice I've been given. Can I still use gate 7 if the ticket says gate 6?

yes im about 95% sure you can as the stooges are always yelling at the crowd lining up to go to gate 7
