Scanning in Monday

iwantmeseats · Tue 05 May 2009 8:10pm

Im thinking of just turning up at least a hour early. But Im thinking it may be wise to buy a GA ticket to be sure. I really cant be bothered giving ticketmaster $5 for no good reason though. What do you think?

Animal Enclosure · Tue 05 May 2009 8:12pm

I tried to buy a GA ticket online & it wouldn't allow me (it said ticket type unavailable).

I assume that means that all GA tix have gone.

iwantmeseats · Tue 05 May 2009 8:24pm

Yeah whats up with that?

Im a 17 game member, why the hell should I have to buy a seat for $23.00 ??!

I just want my gaurenteed entry and Ill stand one level 1 FFS! There has to be a way!?

Animal Enclosure · Tue 05 May 2009 8:25pm

Me too mate.

I ended up getting a L2 ticket & will just stand up there. Hate giving $$$ to the filth too.

iwantmeseats · Tue 05 May 2009 8:26pm

So if 60000 people think that way you still think you should be able to get in. It is impossible to guareentee a seat unless you buy one. If you can come up with a way I would love to hear it. By the way it will only cosst about $6 I think.

I dont want a bloody seat I just want to get in with my 17 game membership. AFL seem to want to make this either very hard, or not possible at all on line.

I just booked 9 on line and didnt have a problem. I still dont understand what the AFL or anyone else can do to solve the problem that if more turn up than seats.

You do have to get a seat but it still shouldnt cost much. Get one on level 3 and stand on level one.

Gates will open at 5 if you want to scan in you probabley need to get there early. I remember a couple of years ago we played Richmond on the Sunday night with Anzac day the following day and it was a walk up and they got close to 50,000. With this being on a Monday night. it wont be sold out.

I got row V late late sunday night.

clarky I find buying before just saves the stress when the time is limited.

clarky449 · Post: # 734657Post **clarky449** » Tue 05 May 2009 9:41pm

Yeah i will buy much easier, he just needs the cheapest ticket, as he is in CS

lendog heaven · Tue 05 May 2009 9:53pm

isn't it great that the club gives us so much information about ticketing? it's every man woman & child for themselves - they bleat abt the stadium deal, we buy 17 game memberships so Ian Collins doesn't line his blue shite pockets with our hard earned and the club can't even be bothered giving out one smidgeon of info abt the filth (or doggies) arrangements- but if you want to get in the Saints lotto syndicate, plenty of communication - bleedin' disgrace.

it's usual conditions for an away game lendog, what sort of information do you wish they had published?
ticketing info was from saints site

just a warning - a couple of people have mentioned 17 game memberships- we do only have 16 this year-- 11 home and 5 away.

sainter35 · Post: # 734673Post **sainter35** » Tue 05 May 2009 10:13pm

The whole process is quite unclear.

I have a 16 game membership and will happy to stand on Level 1 like last week because I don't like it on Level 3.

I would prefer to scan my ticket on the night like the original poster rather than having to pay a handling fee to ticketmaster but for the sake of $5.50 or whatever it is I don't think it's worth waiting if there's a possibilty of the game selling out.

However there is no option for members to buy a general admission ticket online. When you put in your barcode it only allows you to buy a reserved seat.

I'll have to go to a ticketmaster agency tomorrow I think and let people know if you can still buy general admin tickets. If anybody else does the same thing before I get a chance, let us know on here.

iwantmeseats · Tue 05 May 2009 10:15pm

exactly! Pretty damn poor! Imj just going to ring them tomorrow.

Membership Tickets do not provide guaranteed entry.

It states on your plastic Membership ticket:

Entry subject to capacity

Guys and gals

I will ring ES tomorrow and get an update on ticket sales/estimated crowd etc etc

BUT if you are looking for a guideline as to which end saints fans / CS / MW will be on Level 1..aim for Aisle 23/24 or similar ..NOT..I repeat NOT Aisles 46/47 or 1/2..they are the Pies end

Richter · Post: # 734689Post **Richter** » Tue 05 May 2009 10:24pm

Well it's all a bit strange.

I called up ticketmaster and they told me that I can't reserve a seat with my AFL membership. That I have to scan in as usual and that there are no reserved seats on level 3.

Seems other people are getting other information.

Piss poor info dissemination IMO
