Much like this weeks game, our round three match against the Hawks and their large supporter base is not going to be fully ticketed.
Ticketmassacre is selling reserved seats on level one and three as of today.
Between 9:30 and 10:03, I hit redial 173 times today (yep, I kept count), just to get through to Ticketmassacre, then sat on hold for 22 minutes. Surely it should be easier to buy tickets for 11 family members?
If these games were fully ticketed, the extended Nosebleed clan would have payed around $85 a match (rough guess) to ensure all 17 of us entry and a seat up in our usual 3rd class tier.
Instead, we're out well over $500 and counting, with some family members deciding they can't afford the expense, and will roll the dice on getting in. So 8 of our family members wont be sitting together at what's promoted as "The Family Game", assuming they get in.
My big question though, where does the money for these one off reserved seats for casual members go? The club? The Stadium? The AFL?
I'm pretty sure the decision to make games fully ticketed is a Stadium/AFL one. If the money flow to the club, that's one thing. If the money flows to the stadium, well, lets do something about it.
Anyway, if you want to guarantee yourself a seat for April 11, brace yourself, head over Ticketmassacre, and bend over.

Another money grab from Ticketmaster, Collins . If they keep this up defeats the purpose of purchasing an 18 game membership
Anyway, I find the view good, the noise fine & no overhang. Don't know if you can request seats around there, but as I said - no one seems to use them. GOOD LUCK!!
