How will you get your finals tickets?

[The Coon Dog]

Just curious. I still like the tradition of lobbing somewhere early in the morning to queue up.

In 2006 it was the Werribbe Plaza newsagency & it was packed. I imagine it would be much the same this year as there are 6 Victorian teams in the finals. It's nice just chatting with other fans, some who barrack for your team & others who don't.

I think I'd be worried if I did it online that the system would crash. Has anyone experienced problems getting their finals tickets online?

I was thinking of getting them at a ticketmaster close to work..

But if you have finals priority with your membership you can get it through the club.

So i will be just calling 1300GODOGS and getting them off an operator..

Not sure for the first final. I will be on my way to QLD for a conference on Monday morning so I might have get someone to get them for me.

However there was word in the box on Friday night that we might have one for the first final which wouldn't be too bad at all.

Not sure exactly how i'm getting my ticket, but I know i'll probably be making Dad pay for it! I'm such a lovely daughter.

Pretty sure he'll just get them online. Or I will, he can't work technology too well, haha.

Yeah I remember against Collingwood I had a bit of trouble getting them. I think it took a couple of hours to get into the system. As Alexxx said I'll be ringing 1300GODOGS while hitting refresh on my browser just in case.

Re: How will you get your finals tickets?

Funny you mention this TCD. I actually went on to the ticketmaster website this morning to print off the list of their outlets.

In 2006, I went to the newsagent in Collins Place, got their about 6.00am, the guy gave out raffle ticket numbers, and you just had to make sure you were back at 8.30am to get your spot in the queue. It worked well, I went and got some breakfast, read all the stories in the papers about how Collingwod were going to pump us, and then went back to buy the tickets. But this newagency is no longer a ticketmaster outlet.

I buy all of my tickets during the H&A season online, but the ticketmaster online system seems to die in the arse when there is a big rush for tickets, and with 6 melbourne teams in the finals, and all tickets going on sale at the one time, that may happen again.

My other problem is I have to buy 13 tickets, so I have to do it in 2 transcations and hope that the tickets are close to each other.

Does any one have any suggestions as to where to buy tickets, where you won't have to be there at midnight to get a decent spot in the queue.

Over the phone Aker! Where some (or most) the money goes to our club and not the AFL..

(Well, over the phone if your a member)

We bought premium seats in 2006 finals and they were on Level 2 of the Olympic stands.

Great seats

I have my doubts how that will work.

The club is not really seat up as a call centre, and I fear that the only thing I will get on the phone, are the beeps of an engaged signal.

I also had premium seats for that in the Southern Stand behind the goals. They were great seats too, although all seats were great that day.

The best seats were all the empty ones in the last quarter.

Olympic stand is fine, but behind the goals, for me sucks. My mate wants to get MCC passes, but I think I would have to make sure I get there early to get a decent seat.

In 2006 we were in the MCC area but up the back.......top tier, but then again.......... playing Collingwood in front of 84,284 fans, what do you expect.

Im an AFL member and we get seats at the first two weeks of the finals provided we stump up the booking fee. I think it's 6 bucks or something.
