One of the reasons for allowing 4 tickets per barcode and extend PF tickets to AFL silver members was to get more GWS or non-Pies attending.
Non Pies more likely to barrack against Collingwood.
Plus the AFL is always concerned about how it looks on TV.
Hence why they always alternate bays b/w supporter groups, rather than one end Pies and one end Dees (as an example). Apparently the mix looks better on TV.

Hey Guys
Probably a stupid question but is there any way of knowing for sure when you buy tickets on Facebook Marketplace that they are not selling to me and someone else or I send them money and they they don’t send me the tickets? I am coming over from Perth with my son and really want to go to the game….

These are just suggestions. By no means am I suggesting you go ahead with the purchase. All care No responsibility.sourav04 wrote:Hey Guys

The seller needs to assure you that they are legitimate.
I sold some tickets to a family in WA a few years back. They barracked for Fremantle. I did my best to assure them that I was legitimate and vice-a-versa. Took a modest deposit for the tickets. I met them at the parade and made the exchange. Sold at cost price.
Check their Facebook profile. Do they have any other presence on the internet? Linkedin? Share phone numbers so you can text.
If you cannot make a connection - then opt out.
If possible have someone in Melbourne meet them on your behalf.
If you are exchanging via Ticketek transfer maybe pay for the Junior ticket... have it transferred then purchase the next.
You are managing risk.

MCC sold out.
The very last of the remaining single seats top deck only on sale thursday only between 9am-12noon.
Then its a case of chancing it with the walk up seats and que since 7am like the crack of dawn lets say.
has anyone cued up ala Wimbledon style and camped overnight in the MCC for like 12 or more hours.
I think the very first ones will start cueing around 8amish.

When i say 'REAL' fans, I'm referring to people who barrack & cheer for Collingwood. As opposed to the corporates and non invested +1's that attend the grand final as a social event.David wrote:Not sure if I count as a "real" fan, but as a non-member I just assumed from the outset that I wouldn't get to attend any finals this year. Seems to have turned out that way!

The 4x tickets per membership was ludicrous and essentially enabled the general public to access the member pre-sale, all they needed was to know a Collingwood member. Of course the paid up members are the ones who have paid the price for this massive stuff up.
We are legends members and sit in the Ponsford every week for home and away games, we have never missed a game. By the time the Ticketek lottery let me in to purchase tickets it was after 10.20am and I couldn’t access any seats on level 1 in the Ponsford, including the legends bays. All we could get was level 4.
How the club allowed this to happen is nothing short of a disgrace. All we wanted was somewhere on level 1 in the Ponsford. Very angry
