How will you get your finals tickets?

[The Coon Dog]

Just curious. I still like the tradition of lobbing somewhere early in the morning to queue up.

In 2006 it was the Werribbe Plaza newsagency & it was packed. I imagine it would be much the same this year as there are 6 Victorian teams in the finals. It's nice just chatting with other fans, some who barrack for your team & others who don't.

I think I'd be worried if I did it online that the system would crash. Has anyone experienced problems getting their finals tickets online?

[LostDoggy]

I was thinking of getting them at a ticketmaster close to work..

But if you have finals priority with your membership you can get it through the club.

So i will be just calling 1300GODOGS and getting them off an operator..

[Mantis]

Not sure for the first final. I will be on my way to QLD for a conference on Monday morning so I might have get someone to get them for me.

However there was word in the box on Friday night that we might have one for the first final which wouldn't be too bad at all.;)

[LostDoggy]

Not sure exactly how i'm getting my ticket, but I know i'll probably be making Dad pay for it! I'm such a lovely daughter.

Pretty sure he'll just get them online. Or I will, he can't work technology too well, haha.

[bornadog]

Does any one know whre the premium seating is located?

[G-Mo77]

Yeah I remember against Collingwood I had a bit of trouble getting them. I think it took a couple of hours to get into the system. As Alexxx said I'll be ringing 1300GODOGS while hitting refresh on my browser just in case.

[aker39]

Funny you mention this TCD. I actually went on to the ticketmaster website this morning to print off the list of their outlets.

In 2006, I went to the newsagent in Collins Place, got their about 6.00am, the guy gave out raffle ticket numbers, and you just had to make sure you were back at 8.30am to get your spot in the queue. It worked well, I went and got some breakfast, read all the stories in the papers about how Collingwod were going to pump us, and then went back to buy the tickets. But this newagency is no longer a ticketmaster outlet.

I buy all of my tickets during the H&A season online, but the ticketmaster online system seems to die in the arse when there is a big rush for tickets, and with 6 melbourne teams in the finals, and all tickets going on sale at the one time, that may happen again.

My other problem is I have to buy 13 tickets, so I have to do it in 2 transcations and hope that the tickets are close to each other.

Does any one have any suggestions as to where to buy tickets, where you won't have to be there at midnight to get a decent spot in the queue.

[LostDoggy]

Over the phone Aker! Where some (or most) the money goes to our club and not the AFL..

(Well, over the phone if your a member)

[aker39]

We bought premium seats in 2006 finals and they were on Level 2 of the Olympic stands.

Great seats

I have my doubts how that will work.

The club is not really seat up as a call centre, and I fear that the only thing I will get on the phone, are the beeps of an engaged signal.

[LostDoggy]

Haha ill keep that in mind

Internet refreshing while on hold sounds like the go

[The Underdog]

We bought premium seats in 2006 finals and they were on Level 2 of the Olympic stands.

Great seats

I also had premium seats for that in the Southern Stand behind the goals. They were great seats too, although all seats were great that day.

[aker39]

The best seats were all the empty ones in the last quarter.

[bornadog]

Olympic stand is fine, but behind the goals, for me sucks. My mate wants to get MCC passes, but I think I would have to make sure I get there early to get a decent seat.

In 2006 we were in the MCC area but up the back.......top tier, but then again.......... playing Collingwood in front of 84,284 fans, what do you expect.

[Twodogs]

Im an AFL member and we get seats at the first two weeks of the finals provided we stump up the booking fee. I think it's 6 bucks or something.

[The Coon Dog]

Im an AFL member

I thought you were a country member!

[BulldogBelle]

Received a letter in the mail about 2 weeks ago to fill out for the first 3 finals (if required).

Basically entered all barcodes on the form and faxed it back.

We recieve premium seating which will be express posted out at the begining of each week before game.

[The Pie Man]

I went online at 9am that Monday morning and the site froze/crashed - took me about half an hour to finally get the tickets, and I was thinking 'great, I'll be at the top of the Southern - so standing room for me' (I don't do the top deck of most stands)

To my surprise and delight, I still scored seats on the 50 in the Southern 5 rows back from the fence, and all amongst fellow hounds - my guess is it recognises the bar code as Dogs membership and seats you accordingly.

Needless to say, was a brilliant day

Hopefully all our finals are at the MCG - in which case I'll sit in the MCC.

[LostDoggy]

Ok just spoke to 1300 GO DOGS

Sorry to those who i advised i was getting them off there..you def. cant..You can get them from the Bulldogs shop though in Footscray.

Chick i spoke to said get them through ticketmaster and that you can buy 1 ticket per membership (which means i can get me and my mates to sit together)

Members tickets are on sale 9AM Monday morning, General Public Wednesday morning..

Looks like ill be lining up at the Athenaum Theatre near work.

Someone else will help me with the names but I think it was a politician who responded to one of his opponents comment of "I'm a country member" with "I remember"

Read it as "I'm a ****, remember"

[LostDoggy]

I'll be going for Prime Reserve, if i cant get that on level 1, at worst premium reserve will be the go..

[BulldogBelle]

Just had a phone call from the club.

They advised my wifes and 1 of kids tickets have been approved and will be express mailed out on monday.

Hopefully mine comes too.

Tried to ask what day the game would be played, they said either Friday or Sunday

[LostDoggy]

Yeah you def can do that TCD

[G-Mo77]

Which side will our cheer squad be on?

[The Bulldogs Bite]

TCD, I plan to get mine from the Werribee Plaza. Estimate on getting there around 8, is that alright? Or isn't it opened until the plaza is?

I was going to do that, but with supporters of Geel, Coll etc there as well I have decided to go to the Whitten Oval.

At the Plaza you queue up at the Rabbit Photo entrance, then at about 8am the doors open where you stay in the queue but move to the newsagents.

I did that last time & it just took forever & I got there early too.

[G-Mo77]

The Hawks CS usually take up residence at the Punt Rd end for MCG matches during this season.

Thanks CD. Hopefully I can get near ours.

[LostDoggy]

Level 2 N9 Seats 17 - 18 done in 5 mins I was wrapped

[G-Mo77]

Yeah it was pretty easy this year!

M28 Row A

[The Underdog]

I'm in the disappointing position of having to wait until Wednesday to get my tix as my partner barracks for Hawthorn and isn't a member, so if we want to sit together I have to wait. Dammit.

[G-Mo77]

Well tell your partner to stay home then :)

[The Pie Man]

Section N3, Level behind the goals in GSS - took 20 mintes and 3 site crashes but I got there - spew it's behind the goals, but Level 2 is good all round the ground.

[The Underdog]

Well tell your partner to stay home then :)

She offered, but I knew ok was the wrong answer

[LostDoggy]

I was on the phone got through straight away got engaged a couple of times but as soon as it rang I got someone. The guy I got went to confirm the tickets for me "so we have two tickets to the geelong vs st kilda game"

Reply "sorry mate wrong game I do hae taste you know"

He took it well had a laugh and fixed it all up.

[cinder]

I've got my tickets (went downstairs to Ticketmaster) - well, they are in the queue to be printed ...
Yay!

[LostDoggy]

Got Mine!

After lining up at the Athenaium Theatre for an hour, 50 people in front of me, 50 people behind me..

Im sitting M15 Row FF

[aker39]

I had a very difficult task of having to by 16 tickets, so had to do it in 2 transactions.

After rejecting numerous seats that were allocated to me, including 8 in the southern stand and 8 in the Olympic stand, I finally ended up with all 16 seats in Bay M15, about 6 rows apart.

[Topdog]

Haha Awesome what seats do you have Superfan? i have 3,4,5 for me, my cousin and my mate.

I think theres gunna have to be a meet up, so many w00fers within a section or row of each other.

[LostDoggy]

N 54 row F. Took me an hour because the site kept crashing and continually gave me stabdard seating despite the fact that I asked for premium seating.

[LostDoggy]

I have today off work so went to Highpoint. Got there about 9.50 and it took over an hour.

We're M1, almost directly behind the goals. I hope thats our cheer squad end.

[LostDoggy]

Haha Awesome what seats do you have Superfan? i have 3,4,5 for me, my cousin and my mate.

We have 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Early apologies to whoever sits in seat 5 as they'll be sitting next to my father-in-law!

[The Bulldogs Bite]

M56 Row EE.

Glad they're under cover in case of rain, but after standing in line for over two hours, I would of hoped for something a little more around the 50m arch/wing. Personally not a fan of being too close to the goals.

Either way, will be a cracking game.

[Topdog]

We have 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Early apologies to whoever sits in seat 5 as they'll be sitting next to my father-in-law!

If you have spare time next monday (or the monday after), its worth the 1 hour waiting around to get them that moment and not having to chase around :)

[LostDoggy]

My nana lined up for us on Monday morning...took her 3 hours and she has a walker, so the people behind and ahead of her said for her to go to the side and sit down and then go back to the line when they got to the front..so that was nice, but we had no idea it would take so long. We got seats in section M28, row MM.

I'm an AFL member and those tickets were available from 9am today. I went to a ticketmaster office at 10.30am and the best they could give me was top level, row S! :(

I can't wait for the game and am pumped I'm even going but I thought there'd be better tickets available at that stage.

Good signs Alexxx

Well today I scored a corporate box ticket. Have a mate at Emirates (Geelong supporter) with 2 tickets, full spread in the restaurant beforehand, guest speaker, snacks and alcohol all night with our own waitress, free. Only problem is I have to blow off my family who arranged tickets for me first thing on Monday morning and I have to wear a suit which I bought when I was 90kg (over 100kg now). Family should understand. Never done this before has anyone else? Should be an interesting and different experience. I'm assuming I will be the only Dog in the box so to speak, two Age writers, two Emirates and two others.

I haveat Telstra Dome one night. The foods good but the other people are plastic and pretentious and the atmoshpere is not condusive to watching football.

The only thing I liked about it was I was able to see the countdown clock in the coaches box but halfway through the second quarter Rocket thumped the desk and everything fell off. When they replaced it all I couldnt see the clock any more. I 'went to the toilet' at half time and went and stood with my mates on L1 for the rest of the game.

[LostDoggy]

I went to a Doggies/Hawks game in a box last year..

Twodogs is right, its not the greatest atmosphere and if your a passionate supporter u'll find yourself sitting up front watching the game most the time while everyone else is standing around drinking/eating/chatting..

So if your looking for a fun time - sure. But if your looking to follow the game closely its not the best option..

But free is FREE. And we know Free is the best word in the world.

(This doesnt mean i didnt get drunk and enjoy myself - and dogs won) :)
