Ticketing for this week at Geelong

Featured Replies

I have just realised that the Geelong game is considered by the club to be "intrestate" and as such my 17 game membership does not give me entry. Given that most away games at the G I go with an MCC member I was counting on the Geelong game and Etihad games to get value from my membership. Another joke from the MFC. Looks like I'll go back to 11 games next year.

 

Its not the MFC's fault. Geelong only give the general public a few hundred seats for home games at Skilled. Nothing the MFC or any other club can do about it!

And they are expensive. $53 for a seat, less (20 or 30) for standing room. And the seats are in the pocket, where it is very hard to see the other side of the ground from. With standing room, you have to get there very early to get a reasonable spot.

I'm happy to stand and realise that enrty is subject to capacity in GA. I have used an away membership at KP in the past and just got in early. Last game I went to there was when we drew (2006), I was able to prebook at Ticketmaster as an away member and just pay a booking fee.

I do realise this was 5 years ago and as I get older things were always much better back in the day.

And ask yourself why does the membership card say "& 6 Vic away games" when the only Victorian ground which isn't MCG or Etihad is Geelong where you don't get in.

Every year I write this on the members survey. Say 6 MCG/Etihad away games - because there's nothing to gain in putting Vic other than saving a few characters and annoying people who are on 17 game memberships for the first time.

Discovered this myself 2 years ago. Didn't go last year because I couldn't get a ticket. Pointed out in an earlier thread tickets could be obtained from the club through the Interstate tickets link.

I have my tickets - in the pocket - but will be there, come what may.

    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.
