Posted

Hey guys,

Well its been around 16 years supporting the club i love and finally i think i am going to get to go to the Queens Birthday clash this year! This is the first time i am going to the MCG and to watch the Dees in Melbourne!

Along with my girlfriend, brother and my mate that i have converted to the Dees!

Pretty excited!

Have a few questions-

1. We are all members, interstate members and we get 5 free games in Melbourne. So do we just bring our membership cards and rock up on the day or do we have to book seats? We really want to sit with other Dee supporters! haha

2. Anything you can suggest us do on our stay? We are looking at 3 or 2 nights.

Thanks guys!

Just rock up on the day with the cards and you'll be fine, you get a general admin seat.

There will be planty of Dees supporters to sit with.

Visit:

Southbank

Fed Square (Even do the march to the G prior to the game from Fed square with hundreds/thousands of other Dees)

Rug up. :)

 

Yep, make sure you do the 'March to the G'. A 'tradition' started by Melbourne and now copied by others! (See the MelbourneFC for full details.)

Just be aware that because we are playing Collingfilth, the canteens tend to sell a lot of 'easily chewable' food due to the lack of teeth in their supporters mouths!

Queens Birthday is the one match of our season where all the members areas are heaving, so given you only have access to General Admission seats and you'll want 4 together, I would turn up quite early, no later than 12.30pm, so you can try and get the best seats possible. The GA areas go from the Punt Rd end 50m arc > behind the Punt Rd end goals on Levels 1 and 4. May be enquire with the club if GA members can access any type of reserved seating for a fee.

Unless you can access a reserved seat I would skip the Walk to the 'G as you'd then be risking your vantage point for the big game.

As for suggestions as to what to do, it really depends on the type of people you are. Young or old? Party or wine and dine? Art gallerys or pubs? Shopping or exploring? It's a long weekend so there will be plenty to do no matter what your tastes.

Thanks guys!

How much are reserved tickets on the second level or whatever?

Would love to partake in the walk to the G to soak up the atmosphere.

Ticketing

Make your selections on the right - looks like there are "club member upgrades" under the reserved seating section.

I'm another who is going to his first QB bash!

Booked my flight from Sydney and hotel in the city two days ago... can't wait! Last saw them in Shanghai, but it's been a few seasons since I have had the chance to see them play here in Sydney.

 

I'm actually surprised some on here aren't getting angry at you mousey for not coming to more games..

Haha i'm not having a go at you, but have a look at the pathetic crowd thread and if mother's day wasn't a fair excuse i'm not sure living interstate is either!!

On a proper note though, I hope you enjoy it QB is fantastic and i'm there every year. We lifted last year, I'd love that same effort this time around!

Great to hear you making it to your first QB clash. It will be a day to remember, they are so full of atmosphere. If you get reserve tickets DO NOT get ponsford/city end seats. The woods sit there

thanks guys!

So what end seats do people suggest?

Also this is my first visit to the G let a lone the QB.

I think it's about $20 for a guest pass into the redlegs area Mousey, Punt rd end. Access to the Hassett room which has players not playing that day speak at half time and retired players usually in attendance on QB.

Make sure you attend the post match function as well, good chance to chat with players and other supporters.

Great option - but order the passes early (via the club) as they will sell out early.

Is that $20 on top of the usual members free admission, or on top of a paid reserved ticket?

$18 on top of both.

It provides seating in designated guest bays P10 – P12 (they provide a good view) so you could try your luck there, or opt for a reserved seat as well / instead.

Guest Passes

As FD stated, it gives you access to the Hassett Room.

The whole area will be filth free.

"Premium Members (Legends, Trident and Redlegs) can purchase up to 10 guest passes per match for family and friends to sit in designated guest bays P10 – P12 for Melbourne home games at the MCG."

Not much good for him as he is not a Premium Member.

Unless a premium member reading here would like to do mousey a favour and book on his behalf?

Good point daisycutter.

FWIW I've never been asked for my membership details but PM me if you need to Mousey.

Hey Mousey - same boat!! 25 year supporter from WA...

Have always "celebrated" the East Coast holiday as it always coincides with me bday! (Best Evers - karaoke Friday, GunsNRoses Sunday, Demons win Monday = 2008?)

1st evers QB Match, following bday karaoke Melbourne styles!

Is it really the case that if you do Walk To The G you're likely to miss out on good seats? Is the way to go the upgraded reserved seating?

Whereabouts is the HalfTime Deez Members/ Hasset room? Is that also where the post-game function is?

Cheers!

No, I don't think so.

It depends how fussy you are about seating (and how many seats you/your group need/s).

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
