Jenny- 'One in-all in' 'One out-all out'

[Triple B]

Hi Jenny,

Can we please get a definitive answer to the 'One in-all in - One out-all out' thing on the GF tickets for groups, as written in the letter. What exactly does it mean???

We discussed this last year, but not sure if it was clarified because we didn't actually get to the stage where we needed to register.

Here's my scenario. There are 5 of us who sit together for all the games and we would like to sit together for the big dance. So we register as a group of five. So if 1 of us has our number pulled, on a 'one-in all-in' basis, that would suggest we are all in. Yes? So where does the 'One out-all out' come into it. If 4 of our numbers are selected but 1 is not, we are all out? Which of course conflicts directly with the one in all in. If that's the case, we need to make a decision to split into a 3 and 2, to give the best opportunity to not miss out.

As my Vietnamese corner store guy would say 'It makes me very confusion!!'

I know it's not a Swans run thing, but I'd imagine the club is in a better position to get this question properly answered by either Ticketek or the AFL than Joe Average.

Thx.

PS. I love finals time, but seriously I reckon I age years every September when the ticket scramble comes around...

Hi Triple B,

I'll pass this on to our Ticketing guru, and will come back to you with a definitive answer.

Thanks!

Hi Triple B,

Your question was forwarded to the AFL, and we have received the below response:

"Members who register as a group are considered one transaction and the ticket/seating allocations are done based on transactions.
The only reason a group would be out (as in, not receive seats) is if they weren?t selected until near the end of the allocation and there is not a group of seats together large enough to accommodate them.
For example, in this case they require 5 seats, however if we only have a group of 4, a group of 3 and two groups of two left to allocate. They will be out because there are not five seats together".

I hope that clears it up for you?

That clears it up fine.

Thx Jenny, you are wonderful...

Not always the best option, but to increase your chances, might be an option to do a group of 3, and a group of 2.
At least you'd have less chance of the All-out option.

We've done this with theatre/concert tickets, where it is hard to get 5 together,

Good thinking Scott, that was my immediate reaction too. Thanks for the clarification, Jenny. Now all we have to do is WIN!

[Triple B]

Nah, think I'll stick with the 5. I reckon you'd be extremely unlucky to miss out on 5 where you may have got the 2 and the 3. Chances almost zero.
