GRAND FINAL TICKETS

[cruiser]

After ten minutes of constantly trying to get through to Ticketek from 1pm today (Football Family member) I am now the excited owner of two tickets in section 18, row L (I was told section 17 was not available). Am very happy with that - down the Mariners end, not looking into the sun, just enough elevation and on the aisle so I can get out easily for beer and the loo 

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!

I shudder to think how shit we'd have been treated if Sydney ended up qualifying this Sunday........ do you think we'd have been able to get any at all, or would they just have been released in one big frenzy on Monday??

FFA = Football F*ckup's Australia, Farcical Football Australia, Frank's Funding Account

Etc. and so forth.

You think the A-League's a f*ckup?  You think having a Central Coast team playing in it is a f*ckup?  You think that Australia qualifying for the last World Cup was a f*ckup? 

I am gobsmacked by all the whinging and complaining by so many people on here about tickets for the GF.  I can assure you all that compared to any other big sporting event, the prices are very reasonable (eg AFL GF tix are around $200 each!!). I had very little trouble getting tix today and in an area where I wanted to sit. I am really looking forward to the game and have NOTHING to complain about other than the astonishing amount of whinging in this thread

You obviously haven't read the complaints properly because you haven't even mentioned one of them. Maybe you should go back and have a read before being so "gobsmacked".

Do you work for the FFA by the way?

. cruiser you stated that you had no trouble - this is certainly not the case for many others, i think the whinging and complaining is justified

. and members who should have had the pick of the seats have been the ones to suffer the most

. not too concerned about the cost but others are concerned about the relativity - not only compared to regular season tickets but for other codes you get 'more' for your money in terms of lower grade finals, or other 'entertainment'

Any updates on the old ol' PAX numbers?

 

[Blackadder]

10242 for the Pax

As for Bay 26, just to the left of Bay 23 as you come down the stairs.
(Row R seat 21, Bay 26), think seat 2 is the bay 23 end IIRC  ???

that's tix just bought by members and (for the last 2hrs) football family members.

and that is now screwing over the away fans... nice one FFA.

 

[Blackadder]

Hey if it is the Bogans on the end of the screwing, well done FFA 
Seriously, there are allocations of tickets that aren't released yet that will be released once the away team is known.

Indeed, not a bad amount of sales thus far

 

[poetryintheblood]

I think you'll find it includes the Corporates already reserved, CGT members, and the 300 Marinators.  If not - it aint too bad at all.

 

[BiggusMickus]

Wooo Hooo!
Looks like the Knob Jockeys at FFA & Ticketek finally got their act together. Following the advice of Min in Bay 6, I rang Ticketek and asked if I could change my seats to the Wes-side and they obliged! Now in Bay 15, out of the sun, and closer to the dulset tones of the Marinators.

As well as the actual hassles and inconvenience that people have had and will have by it being played at SFS and the FFA commercial model - I believe that the goodwill built up through those big ticket items is being pissed up on the wall or frittered away (if that seems more apt) by these ongoing niggly and quite stupid small acts and omissions. Goodwill can be spent very quickly if not replenished.

That's a lame attempt to dismiss my post. Do you think that I'd be buying Cat B tickets if I worked for the FFA?

and that is now screwing over the away fans... nice one FFA.

What evidence do you have of that? My understanding is that tickets have been put aside for away fans.

And that's a lame attempt to sidestep the fact that you have dismissed all the valid complaints in this thread and you happen to be spouting the same bullshit the FFA is about value compared to AFL and NRL.

Away fans are being screwed over because, whilst they may have some tickets put aside for them, they will more than likely be in shit parts of the ground (as with the Mariners member allocation) and all the good seats could be gone before they even know they are playing.

Try to keep up with the conversation please.

I could not get my tickets until Thursday afternoon due to prior commitments. I got 4 tickets in Bay 15 about 1pm. Looking at this thread I am glad i did not get in earlier. What's with only holding 10000 tickets for Members. 4 tickets per membership is upwards of 12000 seats.

 

[mariners4ever]

i got my parents tickets for bay 24 down in chatswood and they didnt even ask for our membership number WTF !!!!!!!!

Same with me at the same location - seven tickets with no membership number.

That's after she opened up at 9.20am! "Sorry for the inconvenience" Blah!

yeh it pretty bad service to have it opened at 9:20 and NOT 9:00!!!!

so you must of been the first in line i was the standing behind you with my parents.
