Ditto message on AFL site and social media. 

Unbelievable.

Recommend monitoring Twitter of AFL, Ticketek and all clubs (including Hawks, Swans, GWS and Tigers who knows who will be quickest to update). Ticketek has shut down purchases for the time being. As soon as they say when, try to be ready with barcodes typed in word or notepad on a seperate lines so you just have to copy, paste all at once. Cross everything and pray.

Good luck to all.

Both clubs have confirmed there are still plenty of tickets for both clubs available and that the ticatek site will be back up soon.

The first link takes me to a 5 second countdown and refresh. The second link takes me to a 15 second countdown and refresh!

 

Well, it WAS working, albeit briefly.

Sorry   :(

Now MCC presale tickets also suspended.

 

What a balls up.

 

Also a quick tip for you - I was online first thing, got to the payment stage and it then said the page had expired and hadn't processed. I went to get the tickets again and it told me my allocation per barcode had been used. Then checked my order history and the tickets were there, as well as payment taken out of the credit card so if  you get a similar message to me, check before going through the process again so you don't end up buying two lots, which I almost did!

Friggin hell  Been trying all morning. So stressful Been looking forward to this for so long. Id rather the old days when you had to queue.


WA Optus Oval ticketing is with Ticketmaster and they don't seem to have had any problems.

Is it the venue, i.e. the MCG that is with Ticketek?

Once again Thanks Gil you are a bloody marvel

Yeh, right, Gil's responsible for Ticketek stuff up.


So I'm going to ask something really stupid.... Why do Members have to pay for tickets? Is this just for the finals? Sorry, but I've never been to Melbourne to watch live before.

This ticketek stuff up has continually occurred come finals time. The fact he hasn't held them accountable is a failure in his duty as CEO of the AFL.

is the ticketing agreement with the venue or the competition? If it was with the AFL then why is the methcoast collingwood game done through ticketmaster? Should the MCG be being blamed?

He gives them the contract every year and every year the same things happen. Ticketek are the same every year. These people are selling the AFL tickets to fans the performance is terrible every year. In the end the buck stops with the AFL It is their product being trashed.

Just a thought but does that then not stop with the chief of the AFL.

Each venue has its own ticketing agent.  That said, it is not good enough for the AFL not to demand improvements. These companies make an absolute fortune from selling AFL tickets. If the AFL were serious they could sell their own tickets and cut out the middle man.

 

I know tickets aren’t sold out but everytime I get that notification I die a little inside. 

Who knew making finals would be this stressful. Bring back talking draft picks in August!

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
