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!

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
