  this note is on every general admission ticket issued.
  I have an 11 game general admission ticket and it says that on it aswell.
  Have got into every game so far.

    That's because they're scared to turn away Port fans in case you burn the stadium down!!!

Does the person born overseas have to be with you at the game? i.e. my wife and i are both born overseas.soi can get 4 and she can get 4. But i would prefer to go with 7 of my mates, all 7 born in Aus

I can't seem to get one, while the actual ticketmaster website will allow me to log in the AFL ticketmaster portal will not.

Decided to check ticketmaster website itself for the game, interestingly on clicking on an MCG match I was redirected to ticketek.

Quite a nice offer imho. We are from India and obviously don't follow much footy as you can imagine. Having free tickets so that I can take my 5 year old for a fun evening sounds great and might get him to like the sport and more integrated into the culture

[Deactivated] on 09/07/2014 - 21:03

Got four tickets to Sydney Vs Hawks at MCG…. but couple of things don't sound right?

1) All MCG tickets are sold through ticketek, not ticketmaster (http://www.mcg.org.au/Events/Tickets.aspx)
2) Why is the entry based on capacity, rather than issued tickets.

Is it really legit?

- JohnHowardsEyebrows on 09/07/2014 - 21:48
  
  +2
  
  The AFL itself runs its ticketing through Ticketmaster, so that would be why they're not coming out of Ticketek.
  The reason it doesn't guarantee entry, is that they don't want to turn away genuine fans because 60,000 tickets have been snapped up by Ozbargainers in Brisbane, just because it was free.

  You don't need a Chinese passport. Even if they did check your birthplace, they'd accept an Aussie passport with a foreign birth country.

  Perhaps they are trying to "pander" to a different and new demographic, to increase the following of the game.

Hi Guys,

I would love to watch a game, Could you guys please suggest a good competitive game to go for in Melbourne.

  Carlton v Kangas at Etihad on the Friday 18th should be a good contest. GO BLUES!!!
  Hawks v Swans @ the MCG Sat 26th will be a cracker regardless. Even despite all the recent whinging from Hawks fans about injuries… and now suspensions!
  And even Pies v Crows Sunday 27th should be a relatively good game! If you don't mind watching shows like that new Bogun Hunter!

What is the likelihood we'll get rejected at the gate for a big match such as Hawks v Swans?
- Snoop on 10/07/2014 - 08:20
  
  If you've got a ticket, you've got a ticket!!!
  There will only be X amount of tickets available using this code!!!
  - JohnHowardsEyebrows on 10/07/2014 - 09:02
    
    Says subject to capacity. Potential is there, but not likely. The crowd there would unlikely exceed 60k without the freebies. How man Ozbargainers would turn up? It's one thing to hoard shit that you pick up from a store/have delivered to your home, it's quite another to go to a sporting event in the cold winter night.
    - Snoop on 10/07/2014 - 09:13
      
      Ticket is a ticket. Like I said, they only release X amount, so it CAN NOT possibly be oversold!!! See glam77's comment here… And likewise my membership card states Entry subject to capacity, which is why we must purchase a paper ticket for guaranteed entry to big matches!
    - glam77 on 10/07/2014 - 09:36
      
      You can be turned away at Adelaide Oval.
      Before every big match at Adelaide Oval they actually warn general admission ticket holders (like myself) to get there early enough to avoid missing out.
      I did hear the figures somewhere previously… something like 3500, or 5500 general admission entries allowed.
      The issue arises because they sell 3 game memberships so they have no idea if 2000 or 20 of these ticket holders will turn up, as you do not have to nominate the game.
      But Port vs Melbourne…. you will get in.
      Other grounds I'm not sure of the how they allocate the tix.
    - Snoop on 10/07/2014 - 09:58
      
      @glam77:
      Do you have an actual GA paper ticket or just a GA Membership card?
      Not sure about Adelaide, but I know in Melbourne once you have a paper ticket (not Membership), you're guaranteed entry. Which is what pisses me off about having a just GA Membership at times. Being a Carlton supporter, (normally) a few of our games are potential sell outs and you must buy a seat to guarantee your entry! You have to use your membership number upon purchase, but it still costs anywhere from $9 upwards depending on the seating category + booking fees!!!
    - glam77 on 10/07/2014 - 11:14
      
      @Snoop:
      They haven't introduced that into Adelaide yet, but as soon as some fans get 'locked out' of a game guaranteed they'll bring it in. The only game we have to nominate or get another ticket for is the showdown.
    - Food on 10/07/2014 - 13:42
      
      @Snoop:
      I believe that is due to the A/B/C category pricing?
      You can upgrade your GA ticket to a daily Silver seat for $5 I think for Port games.
    - Snoop on 10/07/2014 - 14:27
      
      @Food:
      We'll see how long they hang on to this idea for? Not sure whether it's the different game categories/seating categories or their appauling match scheduling, but attendances are pretty fn ordinary this year!!! 40,000 at the recent Carlton Collingwood game… Being a Sunday night, even I didn't attend!!!
    - Food on 10/07/2014 - 17:52
      
      @Snoop: I think they're dropping it. The only good attendances are in Adelaide!

  This promotion is to celebrate the multiculturalism in AFL. There have been many great players who were born overseas but helped the AFL grow. That's not racist, that's acknowledging the fact that those who migrated to this country helped the game grow as well.

The idea of affirmative action is to even the TILTED playing field. Of course that means that whoever is the subject of the affirmative action will appear to be getting a leg up. That situation will/should last until not only is there on the surface a change, but that fundamental change is now entrenched. We are still far from that position. The fact people here dont quite grasp the idea of affirmative action is testament to that.

The issue an observant person sees is not that someone is helping them, you should see that the help is needed and what that says about our society.

These free tickets just featured on the AFL footy show. They said there are (a lot) of free tickets available to overseas passport holders or taking people who haven't been to the footy before.
So don't worry about the passport showing guys!

  Hi food. Jobe Watson actually said that tickets are available also to Australian Passport holders that take people that haven't been to the footy before. Not sure what he exactly meant by that, but you may be right… this is a freebie for everyone and passport may not be required.
