in other words- if you don't have a reserved seat- they cannot guarentee you a seat..
...I don't think that there are any reserved seats (as in paid pre-for the season) Saints Members for away games are there?
This is a Pies game...
Though perhaps it was left off reserved seat holders tickets.....even though it should be there for the extra 5 games.
my comment was just in relation to the note on your membership ( depending on capacity) saintsRrising- the reason you have it but Saints Debi doesn't-
the posts in this thread have been about both general admission and reserved seating.

You would be right (as usual!) saintbrat.
My family are indeed reserved seat holders and have been for quite a few years now, so I must be remembering seeing it on our cards quite a few years back.

Now I've gone online again and paid $11 for a reserved seat on the wing level 3 row A. Nice.
But if I hadn't been persistent then who knows.... you turn up on the night and in fact you can't get in... or have to sit up in the nose bleed section?
So obvious this should have been an all ticket game.
Idiots.
Exactly the same for me Richter, I got Row C, been looking since Sat.
Also emailed AFL and got told the same thing.
This game has been a stuff up for mine.
Do you guys buy tickets other than footy tickets?
All venues only release limited tickets to test the market. First in is not best dressed.
I have often got better tickets for concerts and footy by not taking the supposed best available. Best available is the best available that has been released. They often withhold the best seats unlil later, to ensure sales keep moving.
Get to heaps of other events, concerts, stage shows, special events, never seen anything as disorganised and blatant as this.
Have a Saints reserved seat and an AFL membership so don't usually go through all this, but was too slow to get AFL member tickets on the day released, real eye opener.
Don't know how long you've been an AFL member, but you should know that the Filth have the greatest number of AFL members, and the AFL members allocation for their games disappear quick smart. AFL members seating for May were available from 1 April (they go on sale on the 1st of the month before the game is played).
There will still be plenty of seats available on Monday night.
15 years and yes I do know that Pies games sell out quickly.
But so do the AFL, so they should have sold level 3 seating for this game to AFL members so members don't miss out.
That's all, IMO the AFL stuffed this up, and Ticketmaster/Dome make the problem worse by their ticketing release policy.
I am so used to a reserve seat now, that I can't turn up without one, like my pub meal pre game too much

I am an AFL member and have a seat on level 3 and it cost $5 so you can get a ticket now so I am not sure what you have done.
