Accommodation booked for Friday night....

Now just waiting for the ticket window :) 

 

 

Flights booked from Brissie. First final live for me since prelim at VFL park (old Vic boy) when Jimmy gave that penalty. Book tickets for me, Sons and Grand Sons on Tuesday then accomodation. Had to ensure flights first. Go Dees. 

 

Hey guy. How does purchasing finals tickets work? I live interstate and not a member, can i still buy a ticket? Or do members get all the tickets.

General public tix avail from 2pm on Tuesday. Good luck!

 

Thankfully tickets are on sale tomorrow so we can have a full day to get one’s bearings. 

Does anyone recommend travelling down to the local ticketek stand or is online the better option?

Would be very surprised if there is a problem getting tickets for the first two rounds ( assuming we make the second game).

A prelim against Richmond  could be a  challenge especially if the other is being played interstate (not sure if that can mathematically occur anyway).

The usual problem is that the tickets are released in blocks so it can be pot luck as to whether you hit the start of the block release ( near the front) or the end (near the back). The concept of best available is a moveable feast.

At the recent world cup they recategorised level 3 tickets as level 1 (twice the price) just for the knock out series. Nothing like nosebleed for $400 !!

Do you think tix will be available? Or members will sell it out?

Agreed, only issue for me is I need to get 7 tickets in total. Thinking it might be a bit of a task online with having to enter individual barcodes for 7 members.

 

So just to confirm:

As an AFL Member with club support, I am buying tickets on the WEDNESDAY, not the Tuesday in "contending clubs" allocation?

I just called the Ticketek in Hampton (Bayside) and they will be selling finals tickets.  He said they give out 'queue' tickets for people who arrive early and ticket sales start at 9.00. 

This might differ from agency to agency so you may like to call your local.  List of agencies:  https://premier.ticketek.com.au/content/outlets/agencies_vic.aspx

praha... if you do that you will be charged full price for the tickets according to the AFL ticketing brochure:

"If purchasing within this allocation, remember your ticket will be in the public areas and charged at the full Club Membership rates."

Normal AFL membership sales commence Wednesday at 9am ..

Wasn't there meant to be an email for members yesterday with a barcode???? 

I dont seem to have got this either? Was there an email?

 

I haven't got this 'email' either, but for anyone who hasn't seen this yet, members will get exclusive access to tickets Tuesday 9am-1pm.

So pumped for this! I'll be there! (I need to buy tickets, but this should be a fairly ok task for the first couple of finals).

Tuesday at 9am Praha.

If you were just a general AFL member it would be Wednesday, but given you are club support you get priority access (i'm in the same boat).

Finally, paying for priority finals tickets with my membership has paid off!

I just spoke to Ticketek Greensborough outlet and asked them how early they recommend getting there. Was told there are people camping out since this morning in the car park for tickets.

Just read this it sounds like the "barcode" is the barcode on your membership card. Can anyone confirm this?

 


I just called the AFL membership line and they said as an AFL club support member you can get tickets on either day. Tuesday is for club members (which as AFL club support we qualify for) and we would sit with other Melbourne members (but pay a bit more), If booking on Wednesday seats would only be in the AFL reserve but a little cheaper.

Fellow Demon Supporters. Have booked flights for myself, 2 Sons and Twin Grand Sons. Coming down from Brisbane. Ex Vic boy however haven't been to the G since late 80's. Before I buy tickets tomorrow what do you think is best position Cat 3 or 4. Your assistance in advance is appreciated. Also any half decent accomodation close to the G ? Thanks again.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
