    I think you may be right with a few KT, but they'll find themselves at the bottom of the pecking order again. They can't say we didn't tell them or encourage them to become an active poster and receive the benefits our community receives. Such is life.

So please become active for the sake of our community, and next GF to be prioritised.

        Define regular contributors? Some regular posters a few years ago suddenly popped up again out of the blue....

            I'm not too sure. Seeing what we were able to do as a community, perhaps for next time the mods can put something specific together about rewarding actual contributors first.

                  Oh yeah! In my defence it's been a big week preceded by a huge month and while I haven't exactly been doing it large (next flag I will actually relax long enough to celebrate and enjoy) there has been a fair bit to insert into the memory banks.

                  We pretty much kept out of it. Too many cooks and all that. You had it under control.

                  Mostly.

                    Re: Who needs a ticket to the Grand Final? Got a spare ticket to the Grand Final?

                    Hi all,

                    I thought I might get in early to see if anyone has access to Grand Final tickets (AFL, MCC members etc.) that they won't be using.

                    I have managed to convert my entire family to supporting the Dogs but my little sister still insists on having the Dogs as #2 behind the Crows. Should they make it she will be in the Priority 2 ballot (not having the Crows equivalent to Social Club), but facing long odds with only 4500 tickets in this ballot with roughly 50000 eligible members in this tier.

                    Obviously there is still a fair bit to play out, but should the Crows make it and she is unsuccessful I would love to be able to get my hands on a few tickets and take her. I would be super appreciative if anyone with access they are not using could help out.

                    Cheers,
                    TAC

                      Would the GF still get 90k+ if it was Adelaide v GWS?

                      If Richmond make it tickets will be hard to get
                      If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                        I think with so few tickets for club members they are always hard to get. Even GWS can fill their allocation easily with their membership totals. I think there aren't any options left to club members aside shelling out serious $$$ for a package, that's why I am holding out hope that someone might not be using their MCC or Afl members access, this is pretty much the only other way to get them.

                          Sydney didn't fill their allocation, no way GWS does.

                          2 interstate teams always has spare seats

                            My son inlaw is a mad Tigers fan and he's driving down this week from Darwin for the Prelim. Anyone with a spare I'd love to be able to give him a ticket to the GF if they get in.
                            The curse is dead.

                              Bump. Unsuccessful in the ballot (unsurprisingly) and hoping there might be someone with AFL barcode/MCC ticket access that they are not using. Would be eternally grateful.

                              Cheers.

                                Hey Twodogs, your inbox is full. Didn't have any luck, was that the barcode?
