Dear Demonland

I am a long time reader of your works and an even longer MFC supporter. I have been to all 16 games in Melbourne this year and even went to Adelaide. I fly from Newcastle each time for the games. I would guess that would make me one of the most travelled supporters of the club.

This is my first post.

I have one ticket for sale - Ticketek messed up and gave me two seats on opposite sides of the ground when I requested two tickets and my wife doesn’t want to sit by herself.

It is in the Great Southern Stand Level 1 Bay M12 Row FF Seat 18

It is a Melbourne Member's purchase.

I will sell it at cost price $82.

I would also be interested in two seats together should anyone have something available of equivalent viewing (Level 2 preferred).

If that is so, then I will have two single seats available (the other is in the Olympic Stand, level 1 near the flank towards the back).

best wishes

Maybe it's just me, but I had a chuckle to myself that a bloke who has flown to 16 games this year, is at all concerned about an $82 ticket.

 

No disrespect intended mate. Hope you get your seats together.

Hi all, like all of us I had difficulty getting tickets. Luckily I was able to get 4 tickets but they are in 2 seperate parts of the ground so can't sit together with friends. Is anyone selling 2 or 4 tickets in the Olympic stand level 1 or 2? Please pm me would be happy to pay standard price.

I’m on level 4 - I’m just happy to be there... 

I’d be more than happy with level 4. Mate not so much, so you pay through the nose big deal haha.

afl members only had standing room and "level 4 back" remaining.

GA is similar but only single seats.

I'm predicting around 68k. Max 75k. 

92k for Richmond v Hawthorn.

We got nearly 55k in round one. 

I think you're underestimating the context. It's been 12 years since we've been seen in September and Geelong supporters turn up for finals.

My prediction is 85k and I'm hoping it's closer to 90k.

The joy of footy to a child. This is why those of us who can't make it to the game shared our barcodes.

Brings a tear to my eye watching this and takes me back

Will ultimately bank on GA and MCC.

Melbourne doesn't have many AFL Members. Geelong is midtier. Afl members pretty much sold out as is MCC with walkups on the day.

Melbourne has 45k members. Consider maybe 3000k are AFL Members with club support. 42K club members. Maybe 35k max will have taken up club allocation.

Also factor those scammy on seller sites that buy hundreds of tickets in bulk. For the GF they will move all tickets but you're looking at maybe 5k-10k that won't sell.

So maybe 80k, 82k max.

Thanks to all those who enquired.

I have been able to sell the spare ticket I had to the game next week. I appreciated the responses.

And to @faultydet, I wasn't overly "concerned about an $82 ticket" in financial terms, I just wanted, given all the Ticketek stuff ups this week, to make sure the ticket didn't go to waste and a Melbourne fan was deprived of the chance to get a good seat to see the Team. That was my main concern.

70 K tops for our game.

MCC will be full.

AFL members will be half empty on the top level as neither club has all that many support. Plus a lot of neutral AFL members of will choose to go to Rich v Hawks.

A lot of Geelong supporters who live in Geelong don’t turn up on Friday night.

Its the series ticket game (whatever that means) which might drag a few more through the gates

actually that can mean less attendances...

for example Brisbane and WCE are allocated a number of series tickets which includes the GF. Often these tickets are not used for the lead up games. They should be available for sale on the secondary sites if you hunt around.

Traditionally the series ticket game has been the bigger game but the AFL worked out that it can probably get more money by making the less popular game the series game. They would say that it allows more of the participating clubs' fans to attend but my cynical nature says otherwise.

Living 20km from KPark I know about 50 GFC members who attend every Cats home game (at KPark) where they have a reserved seat.

I do not know one who'll be attending Friday night.

It is complete BS if there are 25,000 spare seats and mfc members or fans miss out on  a ticket. Surely this could not happen?

the Afl members thing is a crock

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
