Game-Day tickets - ticketing questions

[Dark Beanie]

Got an extra blanket out for tonight plus the extra warm socks and thermals...

Do any of you take your own tucker to the footy. ? My sis in law, Doggies member, takes pies rapt in foil , still warm, , and six hot dogs in a thermos of hot water, plus buns and sauce, plus a pre cut Boston bun , yeh, shes pretty well prepared, saves fair bit of coin too.

When you think about it, games aren't played at meal times (except maybe night games) so just eat before the game.

I'm kicking back in front of the heater, chicken wings and lamb cutlets for dinner, few beers and a few glasses of red and 2m to walk to have a smoke.

I’m down on the Ninch with the pooch, 2 TV sets on, side by side.
One for the COLL game, the other Penrith.

2 games, same night, virtually the same time slot, fk me!

So we just tried to download our tickets and we dont have any! we didnt receive any notification that we had to get them from ticketek and the game is sold out!! i guess we are watching at home.

Hi All, a frustrated country member who only gets to go to a couple of games a year we pay for 10 games so we can watch our Pies play but whenever we get the chance to go we can never use our general admission as we always have to upgrade because apparently it is sold out! The funny thing is when we go to the game there is always plenty of empty seats. Even the Tigers game next week there is no good seats left so we have to pay extra even to sit high up the back on level 4. Last week we paid extra to sit in the 2nd last row on level 4.
No more for us we won't bother next year!

It's not sold out unless it's fully ticketed.

In most cases, the Ticketek allocation is exhausted but seats remain for GA.

yep whole thing is a rort to force people onto ticketek and cough up more coin

But the issue is, if you have a GA season ticket, you can't just rock up and scan your ticket and get in.

And then you see all these empty seats....

Really hope this gets looked at next year. Its a rort ...

So if I turn up on Sunday I can just use my members general admission and get a seat?

[KenHock]

I just tried using my barcode numbers and you can't just get a general admission seat you have to pay to pick a seat? I can't find where I can just use my barcodes and walk in?

[aus50ford]

Out of curiosity ...
I checked ticketek just before the game, looking for a general admission ticket - nothing available ???
So this 100,000 seat stadium was sold out ???
Or do they just allow the 72,000 that was there a seat to put their feet up on

That's the issue. You can't just scan your barcode and walk in. Its ridiculous

I have a reserved seat but rarely go to games.

This arvo I got a text to ask if I wanted to transfer my seat to a friend or family member to help fill up the G.

I checked on the Collingwood App, it's legit. I can transfer my seat for the night to someone, I just need their first and last names and email address. I assume then they get an email with the ticket.

The seat us in the Ponsford, level 1, Bay 31 row FF.

First person who sends me their details can have it, for free. I'm not going so if someone else wants to, great.
