Absolutely shattered. Missed out on MCC tix and I joined queue at 11:40 as one DL member recommended doing. Tried to then get 3 tix using MFC membership but couldn't get them as I kept getting the message that that amount was not available. I even tried general admission when it opened-nope. I guess I'll be watching on from home

Don't give up Sparkle!  I just checked Ticketek website and they have seats.

Also, I was able to get extra tickets for last weeks game a few days beforehand.  I think the AFL mysteriously finds more tickets to release.  I would try Ticketek every few hours/days.

And if that fails kindhearted DLers have made spare tickets available in this thread.  See @Wells 11post above.

Goodluck.

Thank you so much Watts2Hogan and Lucifer's Hero. I have checked Ticketek but the seats available are right up the top on level 4. I really appreciate the advice to keep checking back-it gives me a little ray of hope. Last week I was openly crying in the stands when we won...I guess this week it will be happening from home❤️?

Just tried best available, came up with Q54 row P which is a pretty good view. Only 14 rows back, you'll be surprised when you exit the vomitory how near you are to the front. We were row N last Friday, a few bays around. That said, aim for the Olympic Stand. The very back row is PP to put it in perspective.

W2H, thank you so much for your advice. Our cheer squad is at the Punt Rd end?? I can get category 2 tickets but they're down in section M33 but I'm certain that's were the Hawthorn Cheer Squad will be. As I will be with my Mum, daughter and myself, I don't feel confident sitting deep in enemy territory. At this point, I am just praying something miraculously becomes available on Ticketek as per Lucifer's Hero's suggestion.

Anyone ever been in P2? (seats 2-3).

Ticketek allocate tickets Bays to members for the teams eg I have tickets in the Pontsford stand bay N31.  So there will be demon bays at the opposite end to our cheer squad.  A scan of the last few pages of this thread will indicate where those bays are.  I've noticed others on DL are reporting tickets in Ponsford stand Bays, so you may still me among friends.  Last week I sat in a predominately Cats stand but there were a few demons around me so it wasn't too bad.

Curious if any MCC / MFC members are going to pay for a reserved seat with there MFC membership? I am not sure weather to spend $75 bucks to reserve a seat or wait in line for a couple of hours.

I did it. We got good tickets.

In contrast, last week we waited 2 hours in the MCC queue and while the seats were great, it is an INSANE system. I do not understand why the MCC continues with this ‘dark ages’ approach!

Thanks for that information Lucifer's Hero, you have been so helpful-I really appreciate it. From what I can see there are also some tickets available in M31 and M32. Which is just below you. I'll have a scan through the last few pages and see if anyone has seats there. I think what happened was as soon as those MCC reserved seats sold out, everyone (me included) tried to use their MFC barcodes to get seating and you couldn't get seats together.  I couldn't even get 2 seats together for my daughter and myself. I had followed everyone getting their seats on here this morning and had been so pleased for them. Can't believe I find myself in this situation.

Oh no that means I'll be in a Hawthorn bay... Promised my cousin I'd sit with him and he bought the tickets with his membership

To be fair, there are seats available - you're just not keen on them. I'd go to the game, even if the tickets were not ideal. You can always watch the game on TV later if you feel like a closer look.

That's a fair call Rogue. Just a passionate Dee's supporter (with fairly poor eye sight), as I am sure you are too. Disappointed but you never know I might take up one of those high seats bc the atmosphere was bloody fantastic last week and I wouldn't want to miss out on it. Hope you got your tickets and enjoy the game.

M57 which is in the Olympic stand R and B. That is a long way from M9. I think I will be standing up the back watching, the fourth row is like looking through the players legs. My old eyes need to be a higher  elavation.

Yeah I waited in line last week for around an hour, got a good seat also but it’s such an old school system and it’s some what uncomfortable. I felt like I was at the Big Day Out but for old people, a little bit scary seeing old people pushing in the queue

The front rows are very hit and miss. When the play is near, you can see and hear a lot more, but when it is up the other end, it is like a bunch of flies fighting over a dust speck. Swings and roundabouts I guess ...

I am with a group in M56 about half way up. We shall keep an eye out for you, old dee. 

Bitters said he just purchased a very fetching red 'n blue frock for the night from the Romsey Christian Brothers op shop, so he should be easy to spot. That along with the ring of vacant seats around him.

This is basically where i watched every home and away game from and i think its a good spot. In fact i actually prefer level 4 over level 1, as you get a good view of the whole ground. So anyone holding out because these are the only seats left, i would recommend just giving these a go. The feeling of outnumbering the hawks fans like we did to the cats will make it worth it.

Head along, mate - if we win, the atmosphere will be electric. You can always record the game to watch later, like I said, but the only place you'll get the atmosphere will be at the 'G with 90K+ other footy fans. If you're struggling with seeing the finer details then there's always the AFL.com.au audio streams (or a radio, if you're old school) to give you a hand with who's got the footy.

Another useful tool if you want to get a virtual view from your seat: http://hospitalityafl.io-media.com/web/index.html

Hope it helps people still deciding.

There is only one certain thing on Friday night Mr. Shadow and that is I will not be sitting in row E.

Standing up the back of the bottom deck is where I will be, you can put the house on it.

It's a shame that Ticketek* doesn't release standing room tickets until virtually all tickets are allocated, because there'd be plenty of people who would be happy with 'row e' and you would have been just as happy with a standing room ticket. Just another problem with the ticket sales process.

*Ditto for Ticketmaster

Lets not get confused here Rogue I would be far happier sitting down. I just don't like that close to the fence. Last week I had M it was good. But this week given the choice between E and standing then standing wins. I don't stand by choice but by necessarity.

Thanks M_9 but I prefer the Olympic stand. Have great night.
