how do we get MFC supporters to the Geelong game

[Longsufferingnomore 1,637]

How can the Club encourage suporters to the Geelong game at Skilled Stadium. A couple of years ago the Club put on a Melbourne train to Geelong. Should we also encourage the Club to somehow make tickets available in a certain area for Melbourne supporters. (I'm not sure that is feasible). Geelong gets such a bias from umpires because of the numbers of supporters. Any ideas?

I don't think we can get too many seats anyway. They're all pretty much reserved for Geelong members.

[scarlett 247]

tell the supporters that we're actually facing richmond there?

This isn't the Club's game to promote. They have absolutely no way of reserving seats for MFC supporters to encourage them to attend.

I have just purchased 2 tickets for the Ron Hovey Room behind the glass.

Unfortunately there is no upgrade on MFC membership tickets so the price per ticket is quite high.

I am really keen and looking forward to seeing how the boys play against Geelong and how they match up

Ticketing at Geelong is a case of first in first serve and trying to get the best seating that you can I am afraid!!

A couple of years ago I got seats amongst the Geelong Members once, my mate (from Geelong) wanted me there to bag me out all day.

We won by a kick after the siren.

One of the great days of my life.

By car, Bus or Train is a good start..

I was in the cattle pen in the south east forward pocket that day - $50 for a carp seat - but it was worth every cent to hear the cow cockies howl at the end.

Well I'll be there with a bunch of Geelong supporting mates... hopefully we can do it again, but I won't hold my breath.

A mate of mine emailed me saying for $26 you can get a reserved seat behind the goals. Tickets now selling. Get in quick as they will be snapped up fast I think.

I looked at all reserved seats and the cheapest I could get was $55...opted for the $26 GA option instead

I like going to Geelong to watch the Dees. I love Geelong, and I can at least handle their supporters. I don't feel anywhere near as intimidated as I have at AAMI or Subiaco.

Probably won't go this year though.

You're not very good at the internet. Just booked reserved seats behind goals for $28 each (inc. handling fee).

last year we had to stand amongst 99.99% Catters. Previous years we got seats through the geelong DEMON suppoter group but there are only 100 seats allocated...very poor IMO. Train from Southern Cross only 1hr...better than going by car.

[ucanchoose 1,816]

there is no way on God's Green Earth you could get me to that place again. Not until they get rid of that God awful terrace at one end

As others have said, tickets for the general public are pretty limited, and those that are available are typically pretty pricey.

Gen admission means standing, unless you get there exceptionally early (ie. when the gates open, or not long after).

if i get tickets then me and the family are deff going

I went last year. It's a freezing dump of a stadium packed full of morons. I won't be going back.

Would not bother. Likely to be smashed too after coming back from the Darwin heat and Humidity. We are likely to be flat as.

I have home & away membership & tried to get seats on net today. They wanted $97.00 for 2. It wouldn't let me enter the bar codes on my season tickets.

That's why Geelong clean up at every game down there-it stinks. Every cent goes to them. Lucky Bastards.

If you settle for non-membership reserved seating you'll get them for $28 each.

Shift it to the MCG.

But seriously I was going to go, but my mate (Cats fan) who was organising everything now can't make it.

Had a great day on the terrace there in 2005! Robbo was great!

You couldn't figure out how to enter the barcodes, or you entered the barcodes and they weren't accepted?

If it's the former, you need to ensure you select the right event when you click 'find tickets'.

If it's the latter, are you sure they cover this match? I'm pretty sure the '16-game membership' includes our 14 games at the 'G and the two matches at Etihad.
