What is the best way to find a ticket for non members / non ballot?

Will be there. Stuck in Sydney this morning due to Qantas so will miss VFL GF this afternoon

[I'm Not Bitter Anymore!]

I'm priority 2 but my son is priority 3 so hoping he gets a ticket otherwise I will buy him a package ticket can't miss this

I'll be flying in Wednesday morning. Booked flights last week, just in case. I've been promised tickets from a BF poster who had spares. Won't know where I'll be sitting until I leave on Monday I guess. As long as they aren't standing room. I don't think I could physically do that. I'm getting old and cranky(well, I've always been cranky). After 40 years of waiting, I just can't believe it. No matter what happens next Saturday the 40 years has been worth it.

I guess I'll have to change my sig next Sunday...

Lol I was thinking of you last night actually. Dogs on the cusp and the cubs favourites. Could be a big year!

Oh and if I get seats and yours are standing room I'll be happy to swap. I watched at a mates place last night but didn't sit down for 80% of the match

From years of experience of reading footy forums, talking to supporters of other teams and following media/social media I kept notes on the best way to snag a ticket to the Grand Final if you miss out on the ballot....

Before gameday:

- Find the cheapest ticket package around (currently around $990 at Etihad). Also ring around the non-competing clubs (especially the non-Victorian teams, Port are a good start) as they often have leftovers that they haven't sold and will sell them at a slight discount.

- Enter every competition for GF tickets there is - especially the ones that give them out on emotion - get your best "sob" story ready.

- Spend every day at the Foxtel Fan Experience at the MCG and other known scalper haunts (pubs around the G, Fed Square etc), but be prepared to pay $$$$$$$$$ to scalpers this year. With us in the GF the unofficial ticket prices will be outrageous.

- Avoid eBay, Gumtree and Facebook etc - full of scammers and selling them this way is illegal anyway so they may be confiscated by the law.

Grand Final Day

- Get to the MCG early. Hang around the radio OB areas in full Bulldog colours. They often give away tickets.

- Closer to the first bounce(and just after the game starts), hang around the entrances as I have heard of people being given spare tickets by Salvation Army volunteers, scalpers trying to offload unsold tickets, and corporates leaving giving their tickets to fans outside. I have a mate (Magpie member) who snagged a ticket the last way at the Collingwood v St Kilda GF replay - he missed the first bounce but got a ticket to a private box. Lucky for him if was a large box but he did get quite a few puzzled looks from other guests - no one questioned him though and he got through the game without being ejected.

They changed the gate number and 4 of us didn't hear it. Customer service very rude as well

This guy. This guy is going. Got a ticket.

I still can't believe it.

[bulldogtragic]

Corporate tickets sold out. Damn it.

[GVGjr]

Just on tickets for the GF. While I'm more than happy for WOOF members to help each other out to get tickets to the game, I'd hope that anyone selling tickets does it just for face value. If I can secure n extra ticket I will help our deserving members.

[Sedat]

I'm going. Not missing this for the world.

[strebla]

I am level two so I don't know where yet but I will be there so friggin excited.

Thanks G. I'm relying on the ballot. If you can I'd love it, and I'd be happy to make an extra contribution to the club on behalf of WOOF to the Women's Team, VFL Team & Bulldogs Backyard as a token of appreciation & gratitude to any woofer who can help.

[Happy Days]

Im also only in the ballot, so if anyone can be of any assistance please hit me up.
