If we didn't register as a September Saint...

steph · Post: # 816295Post **steph** » Wed 09 Sep 2009 3:54pm

is it too late to register for any kind of GF ticket?

I am not social club, just a standard 16 game member.... is there anywhere that I can register for any type of unclaimed tickets, and if so where/when? or am I too late?

Apologies if this has been asked already.

If you have no luck Steph, this is the cheapest GF package that I have seen- through Port Adelaide at $800 per ticket.

No. it is not toom late to register. you use your membership barcode after 4pm , and register that way on ticketmaster

No. It is too late. According to this thread this morning,
http://www.saintsational.com/forum/view ... hp?t=56235

it is now too late to register as a September Saint. Apparently what is happening from 4pm to 11pm , is those who did register can now go to Ticketmaster and pay $3.50 to register to go into a ballot for any unused Social Club Members tickets.

Other than that, it's one of the expensive packages offered by clubs, including St Kilda.

Very unlikely I would think.

Social Club members were registering their interest in a GF ticket this morning.

Here is the allocation:

1.Competing Club Members 16000 â€“ 26000

2.AFL Clubs (16 x 1000) =16000

3.MCC Reserve 16000 â€“ 26000

4.AFL Members 13000 â€“ 23000

5.AFL/Medallion Club Members 4500 â€“ 5000

6.AFL Entitlements/Contractual Obligations 5000 â€“ 15000

7.Competing Clubs 0 â€“ 2500

Total 100,000 (approx)

I dont meant to be rude steph...but do you get the emails and letters the club sent to all members about the "september saint" offer and GF Tix in general?

I have to say the Club have been pretty good at keeping everyone in the loop via website, emails and post.

As for AOK's question..no..tyhere are NO walk up seats or over the counter sales...as per this line from the website

YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO REGISTER BY TELEPHONE OR INTERNET - there will be no over the counter sales of Grand Final tickets.

Much as its all very nostalgic to line up for tix, its gone the way of lace up boots and standing in puddles of urine at the toilet at Moorabbin

I'm in no way having a go at the club, I have received letters, I just find the ticketing allocation quite complex, having to register in order to then register again, when SC members can register, when non-social club members register etc etc.... thought it'd be easier to ask on here to just get a straight answer.

I'm still a bit confused then . What will happen then if someone who is NOT a September Saint member (a member who registered by August 31), contacts Ticketmaster anyway? I would have thought that it should come up as an invalid barcode. Perhaps someone who tries can let us know.

Bad luck. But don't give up yet. Some tickets just might materialise, like they did for AFL members after they were"sold out" for last Sunday's match. And, sometimes things happen and people can't go. So watch the board - or take a ticket in the Lotto, win that, and shout us all to the GF!

will still be tough- as untill someone - doesn't renew'- the best you will do is the waiting list- Social club will be full whilst current members renew

interesting that you got " ticket expired" I wonder if it's date or number of uses or season sensitive- Home and away season is finished so card is now-" invalid"

it said "retired", not "expired"..

i did try and use it prior to 4pm when i didn't realise that was just for SC members....not sure if that makes a difference.

I got the "retired" message after 4pm.....prior to 4pm it said "invalid". Either way, ticket's no good to me now having not registered as a September Saint.

'retired' or 'expired' similiar in this case - means it's no longer valid ... or usable by that system.
