Side question for MCC people

Featured Replies

Posted

Do you think I need to pre-purchase vistors passes for this saturday night Cats v Hawks? or just rock up on the night? obviously as a melb supporter this issue doesn't come up much!

MCC site says expected crowd of 80,000.

The only reason I ask is because of annoying non-commital people who are deciding on the day if they are going.

cheers

 

Pre-purchase wouldn't you.

Good question it's been so long since I've been to a game that I've needed to by a visitor pass for and to be concerned about.

If in doubt either call the MCC or tweet them.

As a side note I went to the Rich v StK game and the members reserved had a completely different feel about it. Much less wine sales much more hot chips sales. Much less scarves a lot more kids in weird track suits and otherwise unattractive people. I'd like to congratulate Melbourne supporters on not just being better than everyone but also appearing much more hygienic.

Check the Category Game - If it's an 'A' Game which is my guess they will only offer a very small amount of guest passes and about one per member

I think only Anzac Day and Queens Birthday are category A games - this one is a category B.

If you're referring to guest passes that get you in to the MCC reserve as whole, then you could comfortably buy them on the night at the gate. I've been to the last few Hawks/Cats games at the G with Hawthorn mates and have never needed to pre-purchase their guest passes. Balcony or long room passes on the other hand you would definitely need to pre-book for this size game, and I can see on the MCC site that they have already been fully allocated.

Hope that helps.

You should be right I reckon cob, very rarely can you not get tickets at the gate.. I will be buying them at the gate.

If people can't decide until the day that's their problem.. They can miss out..

thanks all, you have generally confirmed my original thoughts

catfishpig: the philosophy of 'that's your problem' is usually heavily unsuccessful when applied to those of the female variety. Such a strategy often results in the severe busting of balls.

 

Rock up on the night! I have never pre-bought tickets for the"G" and you can always get in, even for Grand Final Day. Worst case, you might have to sit up in the gods or wear a jacket and tie and watch it from the Members Bar!

Simple - give them the "I need to know now, as I need to pre-purchase the tickets cos they'll sell out."

Don't give them the option of waiting and getting them on the night.

Then you have the answer you need.

  • 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.
