    If you missed a GF ticket what would you do?

    Say for example your computer crashed, or Ticketek's did, or you had a major electricity blackout or you slept in all day Thursday or some such nonsense like that that meant you missed out on registering for a guaranteed Grand Final ticket.

    We then defeat St.Kilda & you don't have a ticket!!!

    How far would you go to get one? Is there anything you wouldn't do?

    I'd pay for one of those $1500+ packages and enjoy the day in style.

        Watch at a pub in Richmond and run to the G if we won the game (or earlier if we were comfortably winning) and try and celebrate in the ground.

        That's if they open the gates for entry once the game's over still

          Would be prepared to pay 300% mark up on ebay. It's been a long time after all.
          But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

              2009 AFL Premium GF ticket: $245

              Being at the ground to see the Bulldogs play in the 2009 GF: Priceless.

              Beg. Steal. Sell. Fight. Lie. Whatever it takes. I'm getting a ticket.

                I'm setting 3 alarms for Thursday so I don't forget to register. Will pay whatever ticket price to go to see the Dogs in a Grand Final. Unlike the preliminary final - am not going, saving my money for the GF if we make it. WHAT A RIP OFF.

                  Suz, I know the prelim finals are expensive, but if you can afford it, even just the standard seat ($76), then I really think you should try and get there Friday night. I actually think we will get as much joy out of making the Gf, as actually winning it. We have never seen a winning prelim.

                  If you can get there, get there. It could be the start of an amzing week.

                      it will never happen, that is me miss out on a GF ticket. I will pay any price to be there. I would not bat for the other side to get a ticket!

                        At this stage, Dad and I will be battling for a ticket if we make it - but there is a number of avenues we'll be trying if it happens - eg. Corporate packages (brekkie function and ticket), couple of players I know, some people that work in football. No stone will be left un-turned.

                            I'd try everything.

                            I'd be in the ballot for a Priority 2 members. If I don't get lucky there I'll try and get tickets from one of my mums colleagues who can get us tickets. If that doesn't work I'll try ebay. If ebay doesn't work out I'll try and find one of those expensive packages. If that doesn't work I'll try and sneak in or get a job as a record boy.
