I tried yesterday morning to get tickets with just 3 members cards, and we couldn't get them. i then tried with just my own members card, and same thing - "none available"
basically our best bet now is to turn up at opening time, which as said before, is 2 hours before game time, and be the first one's in

individual seats for members appear available (approx $31 for level 1) but cant seem to book the extra ticket.

Appears that you can book 2 general admission tickets for about $23 each though you'd have to find a seat on the day

managed to book my tickets (member+non member) - looks as though they are releasing the tickets in batches, so if you cant get one just try 20mins later.

AFL Carlton support members can just scan their tickets for entry into the ground.

Would be better money at the G, even with the same attendance.

You were lucky, on Sunday it was announced that all reserved seating had been sold out. Maybe some have been returned.
You can prepurchase a general admission ticket to guarantee entry to the game. I have been advised by the AFL that they always hold over about 7,000 walk up/members on the day for level 3. the top level holds about 22,000 and they always make sure that a third of these are not presold.
This game should have been a fully ticketed game to avoid all this confusion.

Level 1 was available today. Sold-out today by lunch time. :lol:

Club is still trying to sell their share of medallion club seats though...

The Carlton Football Club has a limited amount of Medallion Club tickets on sale for only $60 which includes admission into the ground and a premium reserved seat on Level 2.

Caroline Wilson was just on radio and said that Carlton approached the AFL early last week about changing this game to the MCG. The AFL said it wouldnt be necessary.

Laughable really.

Uncharacteristic of the AFL to knock back more money. They could have made much more if it had been played at the G. Everyone would have been a winner.

Could you imagine the AFL saying the same thing to Collingwood? (They complain about playing any game at Etihad)
This is how stupid Demetriou and co are. Wouldn`t it make more sense to have more than just one super power club in Melbourne? How can other clubs ever compete with Coll` for exposure?

Ofcourse it wouldn't be necessary ... why would it matter to AFL/Collo & company if Carlton would get more $$$$ and a bigger crowd elsewhere ... they have us right where they want us :mad:

don't you guys get it yet ... the AFL made a deal with TD (Collo) when he got us there!!! for flower sake it's got very little to do with the AFL ... they wanted us out of PP (tick), TD (Collo/Fitzy & company) wanted us there (tick) = every one wins except you know WHO!!!
Doesn't hurt a bit!

Caro brought up that fact. She mentioned that Smorgan wanted to go to the MCG and because of Collo's conflict the AFL did the deal which involved paying some of Carlton's debt.
She mentioned that the deal is until 2014 and the club was losing money by being at Etihad. If the AFL buy out Etihad before this we may be able to get out of the deal.
I am not sure who gets to decide if it is a fully ticketed game, this game should have been fully ticketed.
End of story.

Looks like general admission tickets have been sold out too.
Only way to get in is with a membership ticket, (and there will be limits on how many can get in) .

Coming over for the game and just grabbed a couple of general admission tickets for a mate and myself.

I have never sat general admission before at Etihad. I thought all level 3 was general admission?

We will get there early. Where is the best general admission seats to get?

Wing would be ideal but is that out?

So while Carlton will be looking to break the Etihad crowd record I'll be watching some local wannabe thespians butchering Greased Lightening :cry:
