Last time all I could get was standing. (Gold AFL Collingwood member)
This time M22 after a seven minute wait.

And $8.30 transaction fee to send an SMS with the ticket ?? Ripoff.
speaking of rip off - the ballot, $6 to register x 200,000 people is $1,200,000! handy little earner !

Looks like it’s sold out.

If anyone is looking for tickets check out https://marketplace.ticketek.com.au as new tickets come up all the time. And prices are quite reasonable considering it’s a reseller site. But at least it’s scam free as it links to ticketek.

Had some luck with this for the Melbourne game where we got crap tickets. So bought one and sold the one we didn’t want.

Did anyone get a seat.

Saw MCC is sold out already.

They do have some walk up seating on level 2 but have to get there early in que to get them.

I feel they will release the remaining seats on wednesday today was the first batch.

I am going into the dining ballot tomorrow at 9am so i hope im successfull.

Legends member. Opted for the legends priority.

Ended up in the nosebleeds of the Southern.

This system is a farce.

Agree.

Looking back at 2019 when we played GWS in the PF, it was 2 tickets per barcode.

It was a stressful morning for me just to get 2 tickets.

It look so long to get in and when I went to choose section that were not available. It would say not available.

The system is a joke!

I ended up in the Great Southern Stand Q4.

It's a lottery. I logged in at 10:30. Got in within 10 mins.
I got level 1 Ponsford, next to cheer squad.

I think the AFL were worried that the game might not sell out. With 100,000 members that was never going to happen.

I did an experiment after taking note of what many people said who got tickets for the Qualifying.
10.08am. My mobile phone Ticketek app opened up the get tickets window. Got two cat 1 Legends tickets.
10.17qm. My iPad Ticketek app opened up the get tickets window and I got one cat 2 ticket.
10.25am. My desktop pc browser opened up the get tickets window and I got two cat 3 tickets.

This fits in with the feedback from here, Extreme B&W and Big Footy. The fastest method is phone app and the slowest is browser. The browser page order takes longer as it requires extra payment security steps and if you don’t have your credit card details cached from previous purchases on your desktop or laptop you are at risk of the final steps causing a crash and log off.

The ability to purchase 4 tickets per barcode is ludicrous and needs to be removed next year. Too many non members have the same access to tickets as committed financial members which is both frustrating and disrespectful.

Usually my iPhone or iPad is quickest, yesterday my desktop was, I got in in 7 min, great seats, it was quick, by the time I’d finished, let out a yell, it was maybe 11 min past, my phone, iPad and laptop were still scrolling.

It’s chook lotto at its worst.

agree it’s disgraceful.

If the AFL had an integrity at all, reserved seat holders would be given 24 hours to pay for their usual seat, for all finals at the ground, even corresponding seats for teams that don’t have the MCG as home ground. Ifits not paid for then release them. Why should someone who is lucky enough to get through before me but has not attended games or paid for that seat all season, have a better seat than me?

Where is the loyalty?

It’s a total and disgraceful farce that stresses me out every single time. I fricken hate it!
