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.

Wooooo Hooooooo I got tickets!!!! A huge thanks to Lucifer's Hero who gave me advice on how best to wrangle Ticketek!

For future reference for anyone who finds themselves without tickets, I went and spoke with the people at Ticketek who told me that the 'corporate seats' that don't get picked up start getting sold back to the public from the Thursday/Friday and that they go quickly. Talk about right place/right time.

Go Dee's! ?❤️

Absolutely rapt for you and your family, Sparkle!  It would have been tragic to miss the game having gone to see them play all year.

Enjoy the game!

Totally agree with this. Throwing the club 70 bucks or whatever it costs to become a 3 game member these days is not supporting the club. It's on par with having a magazine subscription. Supporting the club is going to games and cheering on the team. Clearly there are people overseas and interstate who follow the club, but I don't see why the regular attendees should miss out when it matters most.

Its the way of life mate you'll have to get used it. Richmond have 100k supporters and maybe get 20k tickets to a GF. Fact is if you want a guaranteed finals ticket you have to pay for a higher class of membership. A regular membership won't do it.

 

We need to register for Grand Final tickets.  WOW!

Received letters in the mail this morning from the club with information regarding Grand Final ticketing. It’s an AFL directive, the club is obliged to send out the info when 6 clubs remain and not a case of bathwater slurping. 

Forms are enclosed about guaranteed ticketing and ballots. Anyone else receive letters?

Anyone else with a guaranteed ticket not got a letter yet? Starting to get a bit nervous.

I haven't got a letter.  Don't worry about it.  Go onto the MFC site here for the info:

You need to register Wednesday morning at Ticketek.

I didn’t receive a letter, only my wife and kids. I rang the club and they told me the letters get sent out to members that don’t have a phone number or email linked to their membership account. They are just making sure all members are notified.

Members with an email or phone number linked to their account will receive the info by email.

Have to Skip the west. Cannot get across.  

Planning big day with friends here in Richmond. 

Heard a rumour airlines have jacked up prices to 2k from Melbourne to Perth. 

Hope not.

Anyone bought a150$ ticket standing room / rear view for a grand final? 

The standing room on the olympic wing is primo veiwing - how do they tell you where to stand?

The bays are printed on the ticket just like the  seating bays.

Thanks Fifty-5.  Very helpful.

 

 

On a different note, there is a comment in the link that says:   Based on their priority group, members are allocated a window during which they can register for the ballot via Ticketek.  But it also says Members wishing to sit together must register their group in one transaction using the one credit card. 

Does anyone know how/when to register if friends with different membership categories (which will have different priority groups) want to sit together?

Edit:  I just notice in that link there is a detailed guide on what to do/costs etc https://s.afl.com.au/staticfile/AFL Tenant/Melbourne/PDF/Grand Final Ballot Guide.pdf

I think it answers my earlier question - If people want to sit with friends in different priority groups they need to register together in the priority group of the lowest ranked member

Some one correct me if I am wrong.

I only have 2 adult memberships, (the kids don't get to go, too far, too hard) and as I have not registered for any guarantee of finals tickets  does that mean I am in Priority group 3 ?   How busy will the club be on Monday answering these questions from all of us !     ....help....

Go DEMONS

only if it is a home and away membership... normal memberships ie home games only are in category 3.

Incorrect. Mines only a home membership and I'm in 2. Its a reserved seat though.  Pretty sure full season home membera are catergory 2

reserved seats is what gets you into category 2... "Demon Seat Members"

Just now, Diamond_Jim said:

Priority 2 - Demon Seat Members,  Red and Blue Home and Home and Away members, MFC/MCC Premium Members and 20+ years Premium Members. So based on that the reserved seat and Indeed home or away Membership is irrelevant 

I surprised there is no package deal for the Perth game on the MFC website....Maybe they didn't have as much faith as us supporters that we were going to get this far. If anyone knows of a package deal can you post here please?

 

Can AFL members with Melbourne club support enter the ballot to sit with other Melbourne members?

Spoke to Richmond mates. They reckon it’s impossible for normal members to get tickets.  Missed out last year. 

Though they had 90000 members and we have 45000 so some better chance. 

Being a Demon reserved seat member (19 years) and 37 year member gets me Priority 2??

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
