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 I'll give you my views however I haven't been for awhile so it may be out of date info.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

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
