Have given Ticketek $10 to put my membership number in a database these last two years and am about to give them another $5 without knowing whether I'll receive anything in return. Nice little gambling rort they have there.

That sems like a vaste overestimation. I reckon gold has almo0st no hope. If Platinum gets priotiy now.
Cant wait to get my platinum membership in a few years. Gold membership seems almost worthless.
Wishing I wouldve got a Rioli membership a couple of years ago.
I estimate Priority 1 at 10,000 and some of us have estimated priority 2 at 2,000. that leaves 5,000 tickets for approx 20,000-25,000 gold members. if you factor in a few thousand gold members already being priority 1, and take off 10% who won't register for the ballot, that leaves approx 15,000-20,000 priority 3 applicants for 5,000 tickets. that lies somewhere between a 1 in 3 chance and a 1 in 4 chance (25%-33%).
By my count if they tried to allocate to the maximum they've allowed for, that's 136,000 not approx 100,000. Gunna be a hell of a lot of short supply when push comes to shove.
Can guarantee that if Colonwood or Richmond, or even both make it the MCC reserve, AFL members, Medallion club will get their maximum approximate totaling 54,000 tickets then there'll be a mad scramble for tickets under AFL / Contractural for as many tickets as possible, allow maybe half at 16,000. Then it'll be a bun fight for the others to scrounge up whatever's leftover.
Smells like there'll be lucky to be 30,000 tickets for the two competing clubs to look after their corporate and member requirements.
So my son and I are gold members. Assuming we want to get at least one ticket( I went to the 2017 GF and he didnt so I would give him mine if I'm the only one to get it). Do you reckon we have more chance going into the ballot as singles rather than as a pair?
Nah - my advice is that for gold and platinum members you will have no chance, absolutely Buckley’s, nil, nyett, zero chance, so don’t bother even registering for them because

..................the more of you who don’t register increases my chance as a gold member to get a ticket.
Only guessing but seeing there's only a very low % of gold members going to get a ticket in the first place, and they'll be the last allocation of leftovers. There might b a slightly better chance of scoring a hit trying to get two seats rather than eight, I can't see the ticketing company having a system for splitting an eight seat order into four groups of two. Only difficulty then will be the fight over who's membership numbers got through n who's missing out.
After countless viewings of the 2017 GF, what has irked me more than anything has been the cameras panning the crowd and seeing ex-players like Rohan Smith and Scott West in the crowd.
What bloody right do they have to be there? No attachment what so ever to the competing clubs. And they are the ones you can see. There would be countless others not captured on camera.
I was lucky enough to be there. But thousands of other long suffering Tiger fans, who have shelled out thousands of dollars over the journey missed out so these types could be there.
It's bull dust. We have long known the GF ticket allocation is horribly flawed, but something needs to be done to right this wrong.
I know the GF was the pinnacle in 2017, but on reflection my most cherished memory of our 2017 finals campaign was the Prelim Final v GWS, where I got to watch my team with the maximum amount of like minded folks who have shared the highs and lows with me over the years.
They are the ones who deserve to be there on the last day of September. And they deserve better than having to scramble against each other for the scraps left over after the un-deserved get their slice.

No hassles, smooth operation entering for the ballot this morning. Paid the $20 for 4 entries, logged in at 8.10am, logged out 8.15.
Just registered for Richmond Priority 1 GF tickets for my 16yo son and me. We make it a 4 day weekend and drive to Melbourne on the Thursday, see the GF Parade on the Friday and go to the GF on the Saturday. 2017 was a great father and son bonding weekend, one that neither of us will forget. We get to hang out with his older brother who lives in Melbourne and seeing my two boys together having fun is a pleasure only other father's will understand.
Go Tigers, make the GF please, and then *smile* win it!

That was pretty easy and I am registered. Yay for that.
Idk but I have a deep distrust of Ticketek and when the boys do the business next week … I know I am going to have an anxious wait until the tix come through.
Good luck to everyone in the ballot.

its messed up Mopsy. The AFL are always gonna be feeding the corporate snouts in the trough, but you could get more competing supporters in with some easy reforms.
1000 tickets to non-competing clubs *smile* me. that's 16,000 people who shouldn't be there cause their team isnt good enough.
having said that, one of my boys saw 2017 on a WC ticket he bought for $750.
The MCC tickets (they have 30,000!) are $30 each!!! I dont get why The MCC dont priority allocate to their members who support the competing clubs?
very easy process. took a few minutes. hopefully its like this on monday morning.
maybe call the club for advice but my guess would be going into the ballot separately. However, it will also mean you can't sit together if you’re both successful. I had a mate who was sitting on his own in 2017, and while he has great memories like the rest of us, he wished he was with mates or family to enjoy it with.

How long did you guys have to wait before getting the confirmation email? I been waiting 20 mins and went back and tried to renter the details but it says “entitlement exhausted” so I guess I’m good to go. Screen shotted the Ticketek page just in case lol.
