I bought reserved seats on level 1 for $20 a pop, which is $5 cheaper than GA, via the link the club sent out a week or so ago (the email with a picture of Bernie). Great deal.

Can you confirm on the tickets that the price includes entry? Same seats are $50 otherwise.

suspect that price was for a home and away membership i.e. an upgrade

Ks dont bother me, parking problematic, trains "Iffy" ground shizen, heartless, souless place, ticketing "Iffy"

Nup stay home and watch on Foxtel

Trains iffy? It's right next to Southern Cross station where literally every train in the state runs through. Ticketing can be a pain but if your a member with away game rights or you just buy ahead of time it's a cinch. I can understand not being able to make every game (hell I don't) but to choose not to go based solely on Docklands as the venue is ridiculous as far as I'm concerned

I was embarrassed and ashamed of our club when not even 9,000 supporters bothered to show up for the Melbourne V GWS game at Etihad in 2015. 

That was ridiculous but to be fair it was a dead rubber on father's Day. Still you wouldn't expect a worse crowd than the under 18 nationals

Not sure I agree with your last line Dr. 

I seldom go to the dome of death for that exact reason.

It is a venue that has a negative effect on decision making.

And just to rub salt into the wounds this week the surface will be crap.

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?

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

Looks like it's all sold out now

Dammit I loath that stadium. Was there last night for Adele. Thanks to the poor design it took 1 hour to walk from gate 7 to the train station. Total joke.

thanks mate. I chose the $15 ones! as I usually stand anyway it works for me

Bargain!

Thanks fellas! I got a reserved level 1 ticket for $15. 

As it will get me into the ground, I will sit on the wing, level 3 where I like to watch. 

Come on Lander's, for that price catch the train to Southern Cross and support the boys!

I assume so. I have the tickets. I'm a member but its not a home game so i can't scan my card on entry. But you don't need to be a member to get the tickets. I  didn't need to enter my membership bar-code to get the ticket as i died for the doggies JLT game (but the link came from an email out to dees members)

Must say it seems a bit light price wise binman

the link below is to the AFL seat pricing for this game and it shows the lowest price being general admission at $25

http://www.afl.com.au/tickets/seat-pricing-guide

perhaps email the club... I would hate for you to rock up and miss out or spend an hour in the queue and miss our 10 goal to nil match winning first quarter !!

I also purchased the $15 tickets & it gives your reserved seating so it will get you into the ground as normal. To others asking, it is no membership upgrade just a special "away team" area. $15 gets you a reserved seat level 1 near the goals, presumably next to the demon cheer squad

That area shows tickets at $51 but perhaps they sell some cheapies to surround the cheer squad thus acting as a buffer to opposing supporters... makes sense

PS I just did some more clicking and sure enough just behind the goals at one end there are seats at $18-$51. I see that when you click around on areas up on level 3 in the away section it is showing seats from $11.

Plus of course the most expensive printing fee ever of $8 !!!! (When is the ACCC going to have a go at these guys)

Your loss, you'll miss a famous win on Saturday

[DeeSpencer 26,082]

Would've loved a $20 wing ticket but I'll call a $15 cheersquad ticket a win. Thanks guys. 

Who's going to sell me a $2 raffle ticket for first goal kicker?

I think you're right, we will win and it will be a famous victory, one that will set us up for the rest of the year.  Mind you, if we've got a big contingent of Dees supporters there, it will make it that much more satisfying.

Thanks d_j but  I have the tickets and they have entry barcodes and allocated seat numbers (dead centre wing). So all good. Won't even have to queue. Straight in. And if I don't like my seats I'll go to where I normally sit in level 3.

It's a terrible stadium. Half our fanbase is made up of MCC members. Why should they fork out for a ticket to a home game at an away stadium? I think Melbourne members turning away from Etihad is completely justified. It is not our home ground.

I agree praha.

As I said earlier it is democracy at work.

I'm an MCC member and MFC member. 

I hated that we played a home game at Etihad the last couple of years. We don't have one there this year though!

I'd rather play Geelong there, as we do this year than travel down to Kardinia  

Be a real supporter, get there and help even up the numbers of a big Saints crowd. Especially with the $15 tickets.
