Chances of a GF Ticket

[LostDoggy]

I hold an 11 game membership but have no social club membership. So I'm assuming I will be a Priority 2 member when registering for GF tickets if we win this week. Does the registering process work by a first in best dressed system? For example, if we win the first final against the Cats on the registration date priority 1 members can register in the morning until 2pm and then priority 2 members can register from 3pm onward. What do you guys think my chances would be? Does the club give away its premium seats first, then prime etc..? So that means if anything is left once they get to priority 2 members, you'd think that there'd be only standing tickets available?

So if we made the GF and I didn't get tickets through the club what would be my other options? eBay?

Can't you still upgrade your membership to Social Club for $145 to guarantee a GF ticket? Aker39, you'd know the answer.

That's nearly $300 to pay without even knowing we have made it though. It's quite a bit of money to pay for me on top of the tickets for the GF.

l would be calling the club tomorrow and getting a Social Club membership if you still can.

Without one you will have Buckley's at getting GF ticket.

Re: Chances of a GF Ticket

If priority 2 members have no chance why do they give us an opportunity to register?

I'll probably call the club tomorrow and see if social club memberships are still available.

Re: Chances of a GF Ticket

So I've been doing some reading of how this will work. People who are priority 1 members will go in a ballot system to determine the order of the tickets. So I'm guessing those who are chosen first will get premium seats etc... For priority 2 members the ballot system determines who will be successful to obtain a GF ticket and then the order of the tickets. By reading the FAQ section it also says that to guarantee GF tickets you must have upgraded to social club membership by the 30th of June. So I'm assuming if I upgraded now I'm guaranteed nothing and would be wasting money.

This below is from the FAQ section of the dogs site.

Unless our guaranteed access ticket quota is exhausted, there will only be a limited number of tickets available to members who have not upgraded to a Full or Premiership member package.

The likely scenario is that 18,000 members will be trying to get access to less than 1,000 tickets.

Too late now.

It's not like people haven't had plenty of warning.
