Looks like Round 1 is a sell out

[gohardorgohome]

Hey everyone...

Is it just me or is round one a sell out already.....Its terrible that so many doggies members will miss out on Johnnos 350th against the the inbred twin heads....

I'm a social club member that doesnt get a seat because I go to the footy with lots of different people......I cant get a ticket when I try to book almost two weeks out of the game...

It should have been at the MCG....

I have a family ticket that will not be in use, the wife wants a holiday!

Yes I know it is very poor taste!

Well part of getting married was she now supports the dogs. I have offered these to my brother but he has not yet committed, we sit at the players race level one 2 rows from the front.

Let me know if you have no luck as we could perhaps work something out.

GA tickets don't go on sale until Friday 12 March. I reckon there's a fair chance they might sell out real quick then.

I'm pretty sure members can buy their tickets (need to supply barcode) now online.

Aker 39 will know, spoke to him today after he'd been on the phone to the boffins at Ticketmaster HQ.

Re: Looks like Round 1 is a sell out

So I've got to buy a ticket on top of my membership to get in?

Yeah I just tried to get a single ticket with my membership and it's coming up with nothing.

Re: Looks like Round 1 is a sell out

I don't understand this at all. So far we only have 25,000 members and it is our home game, so how could there possibly be no tickets left for Bulldogs members trying to get them?

Shouldn't EVERY member have access to a seat and then the rest get sold off for the general public/Collingwood members?

Re: Looks like Round 1 is a sell out

Ticketmaster have been stuffing things up all week, so it's probably just another mistake to add to the list..

Re: Looks like Round 1 is a sell out

As far as i know this is a non ticketed game, meaning members cant get reserve seats on lv three you just have to rock up on the day early untill the ground is full. They may have sold out of the lvl 1 and 2 seats and as these are the only way to upgrade a non ticketed member, untill the day you wont be able to get a reserve ticket.

General Admission tickets go on sale on Friday 12 March.

Total agreement I'm like a previous poster a social club member with G/A . I pay enough already to watch the footy be buggered if I'm going to shell out more coin

What a joke.
How many perspective members will we lose, when told at the marquee that if they purchase membership the still can't get into the ground.

Re: Looks like Round 1 is a sell out

This is what confuses me. How can the club sell me a membership and then tell me that I can't get into the ground? I had no idea the set up was now like this. I still don't understand what the General Admission tickets being sold on Friday means. The Ticketmaster site said that reserved seats would be sold Tuesday starting at 9am and I was online exactly at 9am your time and nothing came up. What exactly will the General Admission ticket get me if I am able to purchase one on Friday? Wouldn't that be the same as the allotment for the game on my Bulldogs membership? If I would have known it was going to be impossible to see the Round 1 game, I wouldn't have bothered to fly out for it.

Re: Looks like Round 1 is a sell out

Only the reserved seats on levels 1 and 2 are sold out.

Level 3 reserved seating (rows A to G) and general admission (rows H and up) goes on sale at 9am on Friday 12th. If you have a WB membership without a reserved seat you do not need to also purchase a GA ticket. I would recommend that members without reserved seating buy a seat on Friday, as it guarantees entry. Otherwise entry is subject to capacity.

Re: Looks like Round 1 is a sell out

Thanks for that Flamethrower. I just replied to your post about the seating on BF. So if I can't get in online to get a reserved seat on L3 on Friday, then my Bulldogs membership will get me into the ground? I'd just have to get there early to get a seat? That makes more sense. It sure was easier being a Bulldogs member when only 9000 or so showed up for a match. I just had a look at the stats and my last year living in Melbourne(1999) we only had 15000 show up to two matches at Princes Park. Damn. I'm beginning to talk like my late father about how things were much better in "the old days".
