The stadium quotes the "saleable number" as 30,000. I have this feeling the crowd will come in at 29,000 on the day, there will be empty blocks visible and we'll all think "wtf".Quote:

Football Family allocation officially exhausted.
1pm public sales confirmed - good luck guys!
Tickets available on ticketmaster-resale: 400$ each - who would have thought...
Yeah look there is no perfect 'system'.
If you only let members buy 1 ticket each instead of looking after friends and family you run the risk of a bunch of scalpers/outsiders getting those anyway.
At least these will go to 'football folk'.
It's also the consequence of 'home' grand finals. Demand is always gonna outstrip supply for us, but do you really wanna go to Olympic stadium in order to give everyone a chance at a ticket?
It is what it is*.
* mind, I'm not going so lack of tix doesn't bother me personally.
I know first hand of people who has never been to a Jets game before - and they didn't even know what competition it is - but they knew a member and they soooooo want to be at the grand final with all the family (including little kids that will probably fall asleep before half time).Quote:

If it was 1 ticket per member then the same thing would have happened on a larger scale when 20k tickets go on sale open slather at once. Scalpers would be making a killing. I'd personally rather the members get the say in who gets tickets via this method than pot luck (and not be able to sit with friends/family as well).
I understand frustration for those who are big fans and haven't been able to get tickets. But members (and its not exactly an exclusive club, they are absolutely dirt cheap and great value) at the end of the day should get the benefit.
I wonder how many if any members have not been able to get tickets? I hope the club may be able to do something for people in that case.
I get your point, but 10 tix per transaction is nonsense. Designed for scalpers.Quote:

I agree totally that 10 tix was way over the top and IMO 4-5 would have been adequate.
The point being , Apart from the member card and scarf and cap priority purchases to the final is also another. The point being, Be a member.
Will put on my flame suit now.
Members shouldve known about the 10am Sunday pre sale and made arrangementsQuote:

And to be fair 9000 members only bought 11500 seats in presale last week. Not overboard.
I bought 8 tix yesterday for myself and 7 other members.

Whatever, I'm just dirty cause I can't find a ticket for myself :D
Ready for the 1pm war in 3 minutes!!!

There are no tickets left. It's sold out.
If you want to go, find the $500 scalper tickets.
yeah a mate was trying to hook up with a victory member to get his code. not sure if it worked.Quote:

I could not even get that far. Both with my MFN and general saleQuote:

We sold "over" 20,000 in the member pre-sale. They didnt say how many, only OVER 20,000.
My guess would be less than 5,000 tickets left for sale this morning for the 10am Football Family sale and less than 1,000 for General Public sale.
The 1,000 General Public tickets, mostly purchased by bots for re-sale/scalping.
should i risk viagogo or ticketmaster resale?
Ticketmaster resale is legit, isn't it? They take a cut of the resale, so can't imagine they would dodgy it. **** viagogo though.Quote:

Hope it's a great game and a cracking crowd and ill be pissed if I can spot a single spare seat.
ten tickets was frankly ridiculous and should never have gone ahead
I hate these people. Leave the GF for actual soccer people and members who go to games all seasonQuote:

Would be funny.
Council putting on a live site apparently.
Knowing them it should be organised by about mid June.
Bet it will be family friendly and alcohol free and Big Dog will send them home right on fulltime.Quote:

Ticketmaster has all the interest in allowing this though: if they get a share in the resale, they can pretend it's sold out and then slowly release tickets if need so.
Something is only 'worth' what someone is willing to pay for it.
