Looks like Round 1 is a sell out

Re: Looks like Round 1 is a sell out

Times like these are when im stoked to have a reserved seat when we get home games against teams like Collingwood, StKilda, Essendon @ Etihad as its a pain if you have to organise tickets!

Renewing when I'm in Melbourne is part of a tradition of signing up in person which dates to 1977.

No worries, choconmientay. You didn't know my traditions. I have a hell of a lot more of them!

Do you pass on any traditions to your next ... next ... next generations ? If you do, it would be nice to documented it somehow

Re: Looks like Round 1 is a sell out

I'm a little confused. So those with 11 or 16 game (no seat) memberships aren't entitled to a general admission ticket (say on level 3) at a small booking fee cost? Or did you have to pay $30 for a reserved seat? And is that the full price or an 'upgrade'?

That's exactly right. I spent half an hour on hold to Ticketmaster to learn that fantastic news. I'm going to turn up early with the family and then grab passouts. That is unless I can pick up some tickets before then, through a club release. I just hope that the game doesn't sell out before gameday.

You shouldn't have to pay anything extra if you have a general admission membership to sit on level 3. Regardless if it's fully ticketed or not.

If it is fully ticketed you have to pay a booking fee of about $3.

A word of warning to anyone with concession tickets/hoping to sneak in on a child's ticket.

The ticket machines at Etihad have changed, so that big screens above the gates flash different colours depending on the ticket type. If it is a concession or child ticket, a security guard will ask to check your concession card/ID. They only check children if it looks dubious.

I wasn't expecting this on Saturday night, luckily had my student ID with me.

Yes and i believe they also have machines on level 2, so you can't sneak your friends into the reserved seat areas anymore

Did they ask you to show ID

Re: Looks like Round 1 is a sell out

Just spoke to a lady at ticketmaster & she said it isn't a fully ticketed match, she said my 11 game GA membership would get me into the game no worries. She told me that i didn't need to get an allocated seat, unless i was buying a reserved seat, which they're sold out of. She said i can enter with my membership & sit anywhere in Level 3.

Sure did. I didn't have a bag so I was just strolling straight through, then he stopped me and asked me to show my concession card.

Anywhere on level 3 except the front 11 or so rows, and you'd want to get there pretty early to get in 'no worries'. Because GA memberships only allow entry subject to capacity, so if it sells out/fills up, you won't be able to get in.
