and they said theres 'around' 1100 sept saints to me last week

ok, at least we are getting a rough idea of roundabout numbers

Selhurst Saint · Thu 17 Sep 2009 5:37pm

Ok.

93% registered meaning that 10,695 are being sought by Social Club

85% of 11,500 seats = 9,775

Therfeore 920 standing room tickets will be allocated to SC Members.

This represents an 8.6% chance of getting a standing room ticket.

So basically around 10,750 SC members registered and there is 9775 seats so around 1000 people standing

Upto $245 each so 245 times by 8 = $1960, if there not enough money their they will try again on sunday or monday and if not again, you lose your tickets.

Thanks for that, I will be able to cover it, I'm loaded.

So we will not know how much they are until the time of purchase ?

well they take the payment either on the saturday or the monday when we win friday
so you should be able to see thru the credit card statement how much has come out and then work out what ticket u got.

thats what im guessing anyway

No, I am pretty sure you just have to produce the credit card you quoted when ordering the ticket(s) as proof of id only. I believe the deductions would be automatic once the allocation is finalised

Thanks Fid...I suppose I should be more worried getting into the GF first but I used to be a Boy Scout

So are the successful apps numbers still on the website tomorrow at 9am?

Or is that now deferred till after the ring-a-round?

ausfatcat · Post: # 822225Post **ausfatcat** » Thu 17 Sep 2009 7:13pm

I think so enrico, for the sept saints anyway.

Enrico_Misso · Thu 17 Sep 2009 7:20pm

It all seems very vague.

11,500 was the MINIMUM.
Last year the competing clubs got 13,500.

When do we know how many extra tickets we get?
What happens to tickets rejected due to insufficient funds.
What happens to tickets declined by SC members who don't want to stand?

Are there going to be multiple rounds of offerings?

Why doesn't the club keep us in the loop?
They must realise people are stressed about it !

ausfatcat · Post: # 822236Post **ausfatcat** » Thu 17 Sep 2009 7:24pm

Monday or Tuesday Enrico. Was stated on some offical form somewhere.

matrix · Post: # 822237Post **matrix** » Thu 17 Sep 2009 7:25pm

"following the allocation of grand final tickets, any rejected credit cards will be followed up the day after the prelim. this will be either saturday 19 or sunday 20 september. Any payments that have not cleared by 5pm (EST) on the designated follow up day will be cancelled. These tickets will be reallocated to the st kilda's members' pool of tickets.
It is advied that credit card limits and funds availability is checked prior to registration.

Grand Final tickets will be available for collection from 12pm monday 21st september from all ticketek outlets.
Alternatively, the ticketek box office at the MCG (gate 3) will also be available on grand final day for ticket collections from 8am.
Tickets MUST be collected by the credit card holder who has paid for the tickets who will be required to sign before collection. You will also be required to present the credit card used for the booking and ID MUST be presented.

In the event that st kilda is a participant and social club members do not utilise the total amount of tickets in the allocation made available to st kilda members, the remaining tickets will be available to eligible September Saint Members..."

I donâ€™t know about a lot of supporters but I can now tell you that about 15% of our 11,500 allocation is standing room. I can also tell you that over 93% of our Social Club registered which is the highest the AFL have ever had in a Priority 1 group and well above the AFL average.

As the radomisation does not occur until we get in we wont know who actually has been given a seat or not until the weekend.

Cheers,

Ben Hall
General Manager - Fan Development
St Kilda Football Club

So Ben Hall is indicating members get
1,725 standing room,
9,775 seats
But some of those seats may be restricted view seats.
The club has another 1,000 seats for "club use".

My seat is Level 4, Q45, row Q in the MCC reserve.
I was lucky in the MCC ballot.
Well over $10,000 in annual subscriptions paying off.

The MCC reserve is 22,000 seats 1,500 standing.
They stumped up the hundreds of millions to construct the MCG not the AFL.

Demetriou had around 76,500 tickets at his discretion.
He has deigned to allocate 23,000 of those to competing clubs for their members.
I wish you luck.

The Fireman · Thu 17 Sep 2009 7:38pm

I went social club to retain my seat on the 2nd level...lucky decision

benengel14 · Post: # 822285Post **benengel14** » Thu 17 Sep 2009 8:04pm

Why is this even necessary when people we're given the option of whether or not accept standing room last week?

I mean surely the decision of whether you would be willing to miss out on a ticket - could have been made last Wednesday?

Seems like the club is going above and beyond here....

Eactly the club is making it even more clear and doing the right thing here, last week they didn't even know how many were standing and how many were sitting.

PAGING USER:PWOIT TO THREAD
