I can only guess that there plenty of complaints about Cat 4/5 selling out quickly that they released some more from Level 3. I think in the past Level 3 was never in the premier category?Comment

Utilised the Telstra deal right on 2pm today. Very happy to get Category 2 tickets for $67!

North would have to be the porest drawing side in sydney. Even gold coast would hold more interest.Comment

Actually, this is good. Clearly Cat-5 is fully sold and the AFL must have instructed Ticketek to sell the Cat-1 north and south ends as Cat-5 to pick up the slack. While unfortunate for those who paid max price early this morning, it does ensure that those who can't justify (or can't afford) anything higher can still get a ticket. I bet they'll keep going in other areas with Cat-4 and so on. until we have a packed bottom end and empty upper tiers.
Positive news for future years. I sense a big shake up in pricing structure come next year.
Just like it is when there's a change in government, we are seeing some of the fall out from Demetriou's 'legacy'.Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sectorComment

That's a big generalisation Barry. Numbers will be down, yes, but I don't support such a loose comment. It's been a long time since North have been in a prelim. I have six friends from Adelaide flying up, all north supporters, but never those who would travel to Sydney in any other situation. We'll get a decent crowd, not perfect, but decent enough.Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sectorComment

We'll I think it is disgusting that you get there at 9.10am, membership in hand and get shafted because there are no $45 seats, no $72 seats and have to buy $102 seats and then cheap seats are available later in the day. it is absolute daylight robbery and I will never buy a ticket on day 1 for a game at ANZ stadium again. it disgusts me and I couldn't afford to really pay that price but desperately wanted to go.Comment

Just read this comment underneath an article re ANZ v SCG in SMH. Might be part of the reason Level 4 was hard to get?
"As a 15 year member and an attendee for much longer, I was unable to access the tickets I wanted this morning through Ticketek, due to system problems at their outlets. Despite being at the outlet at 8.15 am with only 2 others before me, I was finally served at 9.35 am and obtained less than optimum tickets in Category 1 at great expense, so don't tell me about more availability at ANZ. So much was blocked off for potential sale to AFL members tomorrow. I am a very unhappy customer indeed. Go Swans"

Hmm yes the ticketing system most definitely needs an overhaul, it's not just an ANZ issue but the AFL needs to seriously look at not just pricing, but how tickets are allocated. I don't think people would object to paying Category 1 for the premium seats, but it defeats the purpose if those premium seats aren't available for selection!!Comment
-
There's no one to direct our complaints to, this system has been in place for over a decade now and due to the oligopolistic nature of the ticket industry in Australia there is very little incentive for Ticketek to change.Comment

I am an AFL member and the email I received from the AFL stated that all AFL members regardless of club support could purchase tickets from 9am Monday. It was mentioned there was an allocated area and when I purchased tickets this morning there was an option to select AFL membership allocation. I decided to choose the swans allocation to make sure I was sitting with swans supporters. As a test my brother selected the AFL membership allocation and the tickets offered were in 105, which I assume is the North area as this is where Freo were sitting. So I don't think they were saving Level 4 for AFL Members.
But it does piss me off that they are now offering category 5 price for those good seats when myself and others paid the higher prices based on what was advertised. Obviously the AFL freaked out at there being so many tickets let and they didn't want to be embarrassed. It does show how out of touch the AFL are and that they learnt nothing from 2012.
I just hope for our boys that we can get a decent crowd and provide a hostile atmosphere for the opposition. I haven't come up for a game since the 2005 semi so I am looking forward to being apart of it.Comment

Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months.

1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.

If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.

b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
