Grand final tickets

Post by Raidersteve »

Can anyone explain the grand final ticket situation? Are ticket sales open to the public or do we have to wait until the teams are decided with members getting the tickets.

They’re on sale to the general public right now. Grand Final team bays being held back for the fans of the two teams.

I am looking at the moment. Going to be hard to get an number of large tickets ie 7 or 8 in good viewing. The gold tickets are not much better than the tickets allocated for the team members even platinum for any more than 4 or not great.
What are people doing waiting if we beat Melbourne or buying now to look to off load if we don’t.
At least like last year we play first before the Sydney team so may be able to pick up them on Friday.
I hear that the number available for members will be down this year so not sure of the chances of snagging a few at that time.

Just got a couple of cheapies today. Category 3 (same as last year) but I don't care - you still watch the same game for half the price, and I don't want to fork out a ton of money to watch the Storm play in the GF if they happen to beat us.

I'll hold out for supporter bay tickets, if and when we know...

Only the gas bill due in GF week this year, so less painful on the hip pocket! :lol:

Thought Souths were casually offside from the Moses penalty kick that hit the posts.

Still can't seem to get access to buy tickets. I get a message saying I need an access password to get into the tickets.

Eels 100% deserved to be scored against from that stupid scoopy thing Gutherson did in the goddamn in-goal, though. Just fricking ground it!

You just need to type in the number of tickets you want... ONE, TWO, THREE etc... in the password box.

Yeah this is my game plan. At least we’re on Friday night. Means we can get in before the Penrith / Souths fans know their outcome

My wife has decided she will stay home with the kids this year if we make it to the grand final.

Are there any members who are planning on getting tickets in the supporters bay who might be able to hook me up with a ticket if we get through this week? I didn't manage to get a membership this year and if I end up going by myself I would prefer to be in the Raiders Supports bay and suspect I will struggle to get tickets in there without membership.

This isn't going to be like last year. Assume the capacity is reduced and the team from the other half of the draw actually has fans, unlike the Roosters.

I think you are right I suspect there won't be many tickets if any after members purchase their tickets.

The thing about internet pills is they don't differentate between casual and commited fans. Roosters recent success and publicity would see them have a stack of fair weather friends. How many are prepared to buy a ticket and go see them play is a different story. Teams like Panthers and Raiders would have a higher % of dedicated fans where it's part of their DNA.

My theory is that the best chance for non members would be to buy straight after the game on Friday night if we win or before Friday. I feel like there won't be any in the supporters bay after members buy their tickets.

Generally (and I get that there are a lot of things different this year), the supporters bays are not sold until Monday of Grand final week.

Pretty sure they suspend ticket sales just before the first game so that doesn't happen

They didn’t do it last year. I got mine straight after I found out we were in the GF

Yeah I understand this. My plan would be to buy tickets to whatever I can get Friday night because I'm unlikely to be able to get a ticket into the supporters bay which would be my preference if I end up having to go by myself. Without the membership I just wasn't able to get this year I just don't see it happening with a take whatever I can get Friday night.
