Round 1 Ticketing

[JV7 2,354]

Anyone had any issues with trying to purchase tickets for round 1 ? Just tried to book some on level 3 through ticketmaster but it says there is nothing matching my search... Just wondering if anyone else has had problems

We may have to meet up for a Somalian Chicken and a fair trade latte in Flemington.

They sold beer in the area back when Phar Lap was racing.

I'll be waiting for the G. I hate Etihad and won't go there again.

Both the Saints and we have about 35K members, all of whom are filled with hope and expectation

. The capacity is 50K minus the Medallion club.

Level 3 might be for walk ups, but there sure won't be many available and the queues will be catastrophic ( as usual at Etihad). 

We have bought reserved seats, but not many available at all.

AFL member here (Melbourne club support, but also a Melbourne reserved seat member), so will just go through the gates. No waiting in line for me (besides security check)

I'd rather fish n chips in Moorabin Biff. 

Goes well with beer and taunting Saints supporters

[DubDee 26,117]

Surely we are not expecting 50K plus are we? Thought I could just rock up

ps. Faaaark I hate Etihad.

I've reserved seats in the tiny area allocated for AFL Members on level 1 centre wing. It's bemusig that the stadium owned by the AFL has worse facilities for AFL Members than the MCG does.

The ground is just an absolute farce, i'm not a tall person at all (170ish cms), but struggle for leg room with the chairs in front at etihad, never have this issue at the G

I purchased tickets last week with no issues online via Ticketmaster (clicked the link that was part of the Melbourne fc email that came out a week Ish ago)! Hopefully you get them as que's will be crap like normal!

As MCC members we get to purchase tickets on level 2 (at a great cost) only to be stuck behind the goals. When asking for bay 35 (middle) we are told "best available". Yeah right. They treat you like theatre patrons. So our group refuse to go and spend a cent there. I shall be going though to see the Dee's but in the Crown box.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

As a rough guide, the two sides pulled in 31K in the season opener of 2014 (Roos' first game in charge) so you'd think they'll get another 5-7K on top of that.

Went on to ticketmaster and booked two seats on the wing lower level for $20 plus fee each.  Seems as if there are seats available if you want them.

I'm not willing to take the chance of getting a seat in the top level, on the day with my 18 game membership.

Are you an AFL member? My understanding is the wing on the interchange side is AFL member reserve and the wing on the opposite side is stkilda members reserve

Do you have to book those seats (AFL reserve) or do you just show your AFL membership card. If I recall the seating was closer to the fifty metre line than the wing but I could very well be wrong

Not an AFL member but a MFC member, seats are on opposite side to the interchange, level 1 aisle 5 seats H 18 and 19, is that supposed to be for the saints members? Hope I'm not sitting amongst Saints supporters, unless we are miles in front that is.

There is a Melbourne (called Away) supporters area on the wing Level 1 Aisle 6 which had a few seats left this morning.

Go through the AFL website click on buy tickets and get a club member up grade go for level 3 front row....I got front row level 3 right on the wing above the medallion club.

It looks like an all melbourne members.."away team" only area. This is the go at $20. I think t will be packed and if you are going to walk up get there two hours before the bounce.....yes ....just to get in holding a reserved seat allow at least an hour before.........!

[demon_fanatic 4]

Hey guys don't ticketmaster sell general admin for round 1?? was wanting to do that save queing at those bloody windows for ages before the game...??

[Call Me What You Will 751]

Yes you can. I got General Admission through Ticketmaster exactly for that reason.

Are you serious, I have tickets to the game in the away members area level 1 and you reckon it's going to take an hour to get through the gate? I've printed off my tickets, so is that still an hour?
