I will be brining my young family to Melbourne for the weekend of 11/12 July, and wanted to treat them to the MCG experience with the mighty Dee’s; unfortunately this works out to be the Bombers game; and worse still it’s their home game. I now find myself in the loathsome situation where not only am I seen to be supporting this tainted cesspool of an organisation masquerading as a football club, but contributing towards their bottom dollar through the purchase of tickets. This on top of my vow to never ever be involved in a Melbourne game.

Still my number one priority is to my kids so I am trying to justify this unholy course of action, by convincing myself that I will not let evil triumph over good or in this case the Essendon Saga impact on my family’s enjoyment of AFL (life). Towards this end can anyone advise me how I go about getting tickets? I have tried to get them through ticktetek but all they have available is level 4 or limited seating behind the goals; surely this game is not a sellout. We were hoping to be somewhere on the wing while the boys were hoping to get close to the fence (is this the best spot to watch a game for 8-12 year olds). Any advice would be most appreciated.

Still, I feel so unclean.

Just buy tickets at the gate, unlikely to be many Essendon supporters there......plenty of seats id reckon...
