Ok.. this may sound incredulous. But Ive never actaully been to the Dome.. why would I bother.. I normally get to about 5-6 games a year.. I have MFC membership.. I go to the G like all true devils !! Alas my wayward daughter defected some years back to the Saints. A sort of annual outing to this game has now seen me needing to go to the dome.

My daughter is only 12 ( bit with a typical girls big mouth!! ) Id like some help please. What are good places most likely general admission Id guess ) to sit. Is best method via ticket master or lob up??

thanks in advance. . as i sheepishly slink away ..lol

( just curious..am I alone in not going to the dome ? )

Welcome to the darklands BB

No need to feel sad about not being invited to the 2020 summit anymore. Purchase any food or drink items, look at the change you got from a $50.00 and you'll realise you're in the year 2020 already.

If not booking prior to the game then I recommend you get there quite early otherwise you have to queue up for quite some time and may miss the first quarter - not joking!

Level 2 seats are pretty good and if your an MCC member you get a discount...otherwise their a bit on the expensive side.

BB, the Dome is a great place to watch a game of footy. I'll give you my views however I haven't been for awhile so it may be out of date info.

Generally the 1st balcony level is the best for viewing, although I believe you need reserved seating for that area. The cheapie seats are in the top level, but I'm not sure what they're like. The ground level is also pretty good to see the game as well.

Will this week be fully ticketed or is it a walk up? I know that usually there's some seats in the cheersquad area for Gen admission, but this might be a case for calling up ticketmaster to confirm.

Lots of funny guys around here!

But my fellow Dee's sister let me advise you to pre book on line, print the tickets and walk on in without a queue.

Unfortunately you will be Level 3 unless you pay big dollars but the view is fine. However first come first served to grab your seat.

Best to use public transport as underground car park is $25 although there is a couple of local car parks.

I will be there with friend so that is at least 4 of us.

But be careful with this - I spent half an hour outside the gate before Daniher's last game because my ticket apparently wasn't printed out clear enough and they were trying to work out if it was real! :wacko:

Just tried to buy tickets online using membership barcode number (17 game MFC membership), was able to find tickets in all of the 'premium' areas (level 2 and 1) but unable to find 'Gen Admin' tickets which are theoretically free...

I hope that this is because we are still 5 days away from the game and they don't release the Gen Admin tickets online till closer to the date.

You can buy General Admin tickets on line already!

I don't know how the free bit with 17 membership works- maybe ring Ticketmaster( leave lots of time to sit and wait!) and ask for advice and then get back online once you have the details.

The top (3rd) level general admission is a hell of a lot closer to the action than it is at the 'G. You can see everything easily and really don't feel disconnected from the action at all IMO.

That's right. You can get walk-up access to level three.

If you're an AFL member you can reserve a seat on level 1 for the cost of the booking fee alone ($5.50). I think it's the same for a 16-game MFC membership.

Ticketmaster sells the tickets, so you might want to check out their website.

Yeah, make sure you get in early and cling to your seats like a hyena with half a zebra.

The general seats are fine, but there are some pretty unpleasant corners which are obstructed, cold, and dominated by concrete monoliths.

But the chicken strips are alright, I mean, whadda'ya expect for a lousy $39.95 and sauce extra?

Gen admin already sold out, next cheapest is $17 with a 16 game MFC membership. What a crock.

Does that mean I can't buy a GA ticket at the gate?

Just rang Ticketmaster and there are plenty of general admin tickets available according to the person I spoke to.

So I'm not sure where you got your information from? :unsure:

Have you ever sat on the third level at the dome? It's a mile closer to the ground than it is at the 'G.

But none available to MFC members to pre-book...

Seeing yesterdays piddly crowd I now realise I would've been fine to just swipe my card on the way in on the day, but since I was going in with non-members I wanted to save them the hassle of lining up for tickets (which is a nightmare at TD).

So I called Ticketmaster on Wednesday, quoted my barcode number and said I wanted myself and 3 others to get seats in the cheapest section ($22.40 for adults, which should be free for 17 game MFC members). Was put on hold for 5 minutes, then told that those tickets had sold out, so if i wanted to prepurchase (and print myself to avoid queues) I had to upgrade to the next cheapest tickets and fork over $17 myself. Why do I bother with a membership if this is how I get treated?

And absolute disgrace, made it all the more painful knowing I'd paid to see such a pitiful display of football. I would complain to the MFC but I know it will come to nothing so will just have to suck it up.

I thought that was the positive about being at the darklands yesterday...not actually being able see the game for the first 3 quarters was a good thing

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
