GRAND FINAL TICKETS

[serious14]

They really need to word it something other than "MARINERS SUPPORTER BAY" otherwise I think we will just have the same problem as in Newcastle... everyone pile into 1 bay! Families can choose from the whole stadium so hopefully they use their brains this time.

The Marinators Club are trying to organise something to this won't happen.

Any clue as to when we'll have confirmation of such??

Anyone else feel the tickets are a bit pricey at $50? Were they this much for the first grand final? I dont remember...

Yours is taken off the HAL site, which show those three bays as Marinators. Ticketek show those 3 bays designated to Mariners Supporters.
So football family supporters would purchase through the HAL site ? and should be prompted that where the Marinators Bays are.

I don't know mate! I didn't know Ticketek was now showing anything.

In the end, other than those who buy through the Marinators club, everyone will be buying through Ticketek so I suspect it will be a stuff up again but with at least a small core of a few hundred able to stand.

Definately.
Is there any way of contacting CCM and asking to put in their press release on tickets that Standing/Singing supporters head for Bay 23 Tickets. I might sound a bit precious about this but it would be for the sake of both families and Marinators (which there will be alot) who arent members of the Marinators club but still wish to join in the support.
It will help stop another f#$k up i.e EAS.

We will be announcing just that very soon Kevrenor, details of a 'block' of a few hundred available to Marinators Club members first come first served (2 per member) at the back of bay 23.

We'll certainly be letting everyone who buys them know that it will be 'standing and singing' with those tix!

Definitely pretty expensive. But if they are going to move the game to earn more money, they may as well rip us off.

Let's work on the $50 price as a guide.
BT: 20,000 x 50 = $1mil
SFS: 45,000 x 50 = $2.25mil

With the more expensive tickets, but with discounts for family and concession, you're looking at approx $1.25mil.

 

[brett]

There aren't 1500+ Singing and Standing supporters so the three bays is redundant anyway. They should call Bay23 the Marinators bay, and the rest of that end the Mariners Supporters Bays. Would they ever think to ask US about these things?

If you aren't in the Marinators Club, get Bay23 or get the back in the bays next to it IF you stand and sing.

. minimal cat c & minimal cat b would mean cat c behind the goals are going to be in high demand for anybody on a budget

. as per the marinators allocation i would suggest those intending to stand buy as far back as possible

. also as i mentioned in the other thread, be mindful of the orientation of the ticketek may posted by kevrenor above

Ticketek Map of SFS definitely says bays 22, 23 and 26 as Marinators Supporters Bay. However, it says Mariners Supporters when referring to the prices.

has anyone else noticed that there is only 1 family bay and it is on the away supporters side of the bay!?!?! how stupid is that?!?! why not have 1 at each end!?!?!?

 

[adz]

I predict another shit-fight.

 

[nutmeg]

i just can't believe how expensive they are. i think the price will stop a lot of famillies coming

normally the non alco bays are 8 & 18 (at least for SFC games) - but then they move the Cat A tix 1 bay across on each side and do the same to Cat B and you end up with the Family bay being in the corner. Just happens that they made it that corner...

Just hope its the Roar - they don't have fans that sing anyway so ther will be no swearing from that end

hi all,

kevrenor: with the my football thing, how do you purchase the tickets at a ticketek outlet? Do you just quote the number that you have been given once you sign up?

sorry i didn't p.m, but I thought other might want to know

Yeah, so I gathered further up the thread.

BTW, I'm getting heat in another place that is a bit more insider for daring to suggest that FFA have no idea! They can't say they weren't told by me and others two weeks ago!

1. You get a MFN  (my football number) allocated
2. When you are buying in the My Football period they would require the number
