>>>My whole family were social club members in 1997 and didnt get a ticket
not sure why
i was a social club member but queued for days at the arts centre to get one in line with general club members with my non-social club mates
i then actually got rung on the tuesday by the club telling me they had a ticket at the club waiting for me if i wanted it as a result of my social club membership (which i obviously i couldn't accept as i already had one)

Indeed...as far as I am aware the SC allocation was not all used for SC Members...
I know of some football members who gained SC allocation after Sc members had had their fill as some smarties realised that no one at the Club was clipping the SC tickets (back then you had a SC ticket and Football Club Ticket)..and were just clipping the Football Club Ticket.
So FC members borrowed SC tickets to buy GF tickets. By then there were no queues and so people could just walk in and buy.

so basically those of us that have normal memberships (melb or interstate) just have to wait till tuesday morn and ring up ticketmaster to try and get one to the big dance?
and if the allocated social club memberships havent all gone its first in best dressed for everyone else thats a normal/interstate member?
just wanna make sure im covering all bases here and am prepared to do whatever i have to do to try and be there.

1. the above
2. corporate package and snub the suit and tie bollocks and just buy it for the seat
3. the 'weird man that hangs about outside whispering the T word'
4. watch it at wherever everyone else is that cant make it (laaaaaaaaast option)
so we can get 2 'said items' and one can go and get in the 'said place' trying the 'said item',
while i stay with 'said person' to make sure 'said items' are not phoney.
participant gets in....purchase another 'said item' and follow participant...
if participant doesnt get in....
get angry

classic!
The good old pre-barcode days!
I once got into a GF on an MCC members badge (pre swipe cards)....I was a teenager, non-member, and it was borrowed off someone....I showed the badge at a couple of gates and they said it was last year's and not valid (which was the case, news to me at the time as I wasn't aware of that!), third gate though I got in!!! Can't happen now with barcodes of course, was over 20 years ago!!!
