Easily got three tix Q49 12 rows in. I'll be taking a Geelong fan so hopefully he feels like being deep in enemy territory. Not fussed about level 4, usually sit in tridents so prefer being up high to ground level. 

Let's not forget MCC reserved seats and visitor passes sold out very quickly, I'm tipping the reserve will be at capacity, crowd should easily be 70,000 plus.

That game was Saturday afternoon in March on a good day. I will stay with 60 tops.

I'm guessing 70k max. 

They are fickle folk down the highway - They don't like traveling up the road for Friday night games - Last year they didn't turn out for Friday night finals vs Richmond and Sydney.

About 30,000 tickets were sold today to mfc/gfc members so about 5-10k to still be sold to general public.  And the MCC will probably be quite full. 

BUT, AFL members, Corporates and 'Finals Series Package' holders have rights to the rest of the G and I wouldn't be surprised if those areas are relatively empty.  

I can imagine there will be more Demon fans than Cats fans - a good thing really!

So you reckon 40 each from Cats and Dees Dr?

we only have 45 k total so we need nearly 90% to turn up.

I am struggling with that. 

Rich v Grelong got 95k last year first game of finals, I’m going to say 69k. I rekon there are a bunch of dees supporters who are not members who will come out of the woodwork. We got 37k to Melb v GWS and only about 1k of those were GWS fans. If we get similar numbers to the final, that only leaves 33k Geelong fans to rock up to hit 69k.

Now that I think of it I reckon we are more likely to see 70k+

Plus Geelong have 63k members. Add 63k to 44k =107k, if 70% turn up that’s over 70k

After you’ve done that maybe head past HMV and see if they have any positive outlook on life tapes you can play as you drift off to sleep at nights.

Very good Cards, very good.

82,000

I think just on 90k as the only time the Melbourne support in the MCC is ever challenged is when we play the cats. With all reserved seating sold out in there, and Melbourne not playing for 12 years, I think will bring a massive Melbourne support out. Too bad it's late at night for young families but that's how channel 7 want it and the AFL fall over backwards all for the $$$$$$$$$'s 

P.S. AFL. Just watch the crowds for Melbourne over the finals period and realize they have a massive support in the wings. Decades of poor results have not attracted them to matches - unfortunately.

A question.

If someone buys a ticket but falls over in the street on the way to the game breaks a leg and spends the night in hospital are they counted as attending? 

Just curious.

Interestingly for home and away games kids that can enter free do so without a ticket so aren’t counted in the attendance figures. Not sure if it’s the same for finals.

My 5yo has just wandered trough the gate 7 times this year without any form of ticket

waiting on the ticket site to buy my AFL members tickets.... as others have mentioned amazing that it does not give you a queuing time estimate.

Just encourages people to try and open multiple sessions which further overloads the system

I was in the queue for 5 minutes, by 9:01 I was in, 9:06 had my tickets. Right on the wing, level 1, undercover.

Either way they won't be able to use their ticket themselves. Are you planning something OD?

Got the tickets... tried for level 2A but nothing so down at ground level...

Be surprised if they get many more than 70k there ... will be interesting to see if the holders of the series tickets turn up.

Does anyone know how many guest passes per member they were allowing for sale in the AFL reserve

from afl.com:

"Since sales for the two MCG finals resumed, 40,000 tickets have been sold to Richmond and Hawthorn club members, while 25,000 tickets have been sold to Melbourne and Geelong members after sales resumed for that game later on Wednesday."

Suggests there are at least 15000 more members tickets available.

You have some 180k members scrambling for tickets vs around 100k for Melb v Geelong. Suspect that MCC and AFL members will be full.

10 day forecast for Friday week looking mediocre:

60% chance of showers with a maximum of 14 with winds of 24kph.

Thursday looking quite wet

 

Hoping the Thursday is a slogfest to tire out whomever we play week 2!

This is a real match so they can just count the turnstiles and won't have to pull out their patented "GWS attendance reckoning" technology

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
