I think there will be a big crowd at our game against the Dees. I could only get very average tickets in the MCC members 2 hours after the bookings opened. Every Dees supporter of the last 50 years must be turning up

In people’s experience, what are the chances of getting a grand final ticket with a priority 2 ticket in the ballot?

Should be fine.

You might not get the best seats but you should get them. I got a ticket in 2016 using my 3 game membership. My head was against the back wall of the MCG, and couldn’t quite see the goal, but I was there.

Booking MCC seats gives you certainty, and you can avoid the stress of worrying about whether or not you will get in. However, it was still possible to get great seats on the ground level as a walk up. I got there early (10 min before the gates opened) and there was a big queue to get in but most people just wanted to get elevated seating. I sat front row, centre wing (M45) as a group of 3, but we could have taken seats anywhere we liked on the ground level (other than the pre-booked seats). We probably could have gotten reasonable seating in that area for the next couple of hours.

Thanks for that. And the chance with a priority 1 ticket? (Presumably better than priority 2)

I got seats with priority three. You’ll have no problem with priority 1 or 2

Priority 1 who register are guaranteed a ticket. Availability after that determines allocation, firstly in Priority 2 and then subsequently in Priority 3.

From Swans email:

“Ticketek using an automated system, will randomly allocate tickets to Priority Group One members who registered. Followed by Priority Two and then Priority Three members (subject to availability).”

Who’s got a clue on the way the draw works, in terms of which night we’re likely to play? Gotta fly down for it.

Helpful replies. Cheers RWO. Can member give their barcode for others to use/register during the finals or grand final if the member isn’t able to attend?

The convention is to give the higher ranked prelim final host the Friday night, the rationale being they “deserve” the extra day off

So it’s almost certainly going to be Saturday night for our game

Thanks. Assumed so, but worth checking.

Hopefully it’s Sat twilight.

The last prelim pre Covid was a Sat twilight. Theory being gives slightly more time to prepare for the granny.

So each competing club gets 17k GF tickets. Does the club advise how many Priority 1 and Priority 2 members we have?
