UPDATED
ok, we all dont like to get too far ahead but plenty of Q's have been asked about packages
so if peeps find some links to help out those who are stuck and cant get a ticket then we can post here

so far the club KNOWS that 10,100 SC members took the opp to reg for their GF ticket
as of yet when i rang them half hr ago they are not sure how many Sept Sainters registered for left over GF tickets (who did this between 4 and 11pm yesterday after SC members who did it between 8am and 3or4pm)

yesterday they siad that they know that there are AROUND 1,100 Sept Sainters, but as stated above are unsure on how many registered

the guy (who was very helpful and had no prob speaking to me twice in two days) said they should know deff numbers today
if you ring the 1300 number, then choose option 1, and then choose option 2...you will get thru to speak to them in membership dept.

so packages:

So, these mobs are LEGALLY allowed to turn into scalpers (sanctioned by the AFL) just because people are willing to pay up to $2,000 for a poached egg !!

thats correct eastern

steph · Post: # 816889Post **steph** » Thu 10 Sep 2009 1:11pm

the port one is sounding VERY enticing..

i've never really sold/bought anything online before so if i were to buy the package today and we don't end up making it into the GF..... is ebay my best bet to then re-sell these tickets? and its totally legal to sell them for the same amount??

matrix · Post: # 816893Post **matrix** » Thu 10 Sep 2009 1:16pm

yes
the essendon ones are on ebay
there is nothing wrong with you putting it on ebay for what you paid for it
steph
i would 100% be ringing Port today and getting that package if i was needing a ticket option to the GF....if worst come to worst (lets be logical) then you could easily 'pass it on'
i would say that getting rid of a PAIR would be easier than getting rid of a single (ie: couples wanting seats together), but honestly couldnt see a prob in 'passing' on a single....

the longer its left the less chances become

Good work Matrix. I don't want to put the moz on us by getting ahead of myself. I did that in 05 and learnt a lesson....

However if we were to be knocked out next week,are you able to sell these packages legally for cost price? Also they likely hood of being able to sell them on GF week? I don't want to be stuck with an $800 ticket to watch stinkscray

matrix · Post: # 816927Post **matrix** » Thu 10 Sep 2009 2:08pm

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/ ... 62,00.html

there is nothing illegal about selling the package at cost price if you cannot use it

"POLICE say they are powerless to stop scalpers at this year's AFL Grand Final."
Melbourne police division chief Supt Stephen Leane said new legislation introduced to curb scalpers did not enable officers to charge them, only to detain them.

And with their hands full maintaining order in and around the MCG, officers were unlikely to seek out scalpers, police sources said.

"The Grand Final is the only AFL game that falls under this ticketing scheme," Supt Leane said.

"As such, the Secretary to the Department of Planning and Community Development can charge unauthorised people for selling tickets.

"Police can investigate these incidents . . . (but) do not have the power to charge offenders."

Where are scalpers getting the tickets from in the first place?

Members with barcodes who would rather pocket $1000 and watch the game on TV?

also look at it this way
say the (shudder) worst happens.
and its two other teams

there is prob as many if not MORE people in this boat (imagine crows fans, how many memebrs?..s*** loads!)
the bigger the club membership that makes it the more people are going to want a ticket
i honestly couldnt see people having trouble passing on the package/ticket for what they paid for it...and there is nothing wrong or illegal in doing this

of course its a gamble...and much popcorn is required to munch on while making this important decision.
for me?
id be on that port package and ringing them 24/7
i have not see one that cheap and will be bloody amazed if there is many left

also
keep ya eye out in the papers, friends of opp teams
some people would have already snapped up packages, then their team doesnt make it and they need to do the pass on thing
hopefully as many of us can get there when our boys get there

I'm waiting for a call back too

Does anyone know if you are told where the seat will be? I dont know that i want to be paying $750 for a ticket where I'm up in the top corner next to the screen where half the ground is cut off...

Joffa 5 · Post: # 817001Post **Joffa 5** » Thu 10 Sep 2009 4:00pm

They wouldn't have the tickets yet, just an allocation. I wonder if they could be standing room?

steph · Post: # 817002Post **steph** » Thu 10 Sep 2009 4:01pm

You'd think that by paying such a high amount of a ticket we'd get something decent but then again u never know..

Seeing as it sounds like only standard is left....I'm worried about committing the money and then getting rubbish seats....

Cro · Post: # 817003Post **Cro** » Thu 10 Sep 2009 4:05pm

Most places should know what blocks they will be getting theirs in.. atleast a few places I've looked/enquired with, knew what block I would get.
