Finals Tickets

[Lord Travis 10,728]

I just needed to get one MCC visitor ticket. Just one. Couldn’t even manage that. Now my dads not gonna get to go and will likely be dead by this time next year.

I’m seriously gutted by this and will be contacting the club to see if there’s anything they can do.

So..... members still can't get tickets.... it keeps telling me the same thing. No seating left

We have won on every stadium (except Geelong) we played on this year so I don't fear any arena.  But how good to see the red and blue at the G in September. 

'Home' takes on revived meaning for us, doesn't it?

We have some scores to settle, with Geelong the largest score, of all, this year.

Saw on 'Talking Footy' last night that if poor old Maxy (forgiven, of course) had kicked that last goal in the game against the Catty Puts and Tuohy had missed that exorbitant free kick winning goal in the the last minute of the second Catty Puts match, we would now be in second spot on the ladder - the problem is that on both occasions, the umpires deliberately kept a losing-terribly Geelong in the game from the second qtr to the last, so there was effectively no way of keeping them bleeding badly as we scored heavily against the odds fabricated by the Green Snot Brethren on the AFL's behalf.

So, playing the Cats next in an elimination final will be more than overdue justice, it will be poetry in motion as we take the game by 50 points and Dangerfield is hospitalised for recovery across the summer break.

Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) today announced that Ticketek Australia will continue as the ticketing services partner of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), following the outcome of a competitive tender process.

The renewed partnership will ensure patrons continue to receive world’s best practice in ticketing technology and service when accessing tickets for events at the MCG through Australia’s most advanced multi-channel event ticketing and digital marketing company.

Under the new agreement, Ticketek and its parent company, TEG, will seek to attract a number of new major events to the MCG, along with a commitment to ensure increases to ticket transaction fees and charges will remain within annual CPI growth.

The MCG is Australia’s largest and most successful stadium.  Hosting AFL, international and BBL cricket, rugby league, soccer, concerts and other major functions, it is attended annually by more than 3.5 million fans.

MCC CEO Stuart Fox said Ticketek’s reappointment as the MCG ticketing partner was a big win for members and fans of all codes who play at the venue.

"The MCG is a world-class stadium and we continue to look at ways of enhancing the fan experience at the MCG,” said Mr Fox.

"As the leading ticketing partner to the sports and live entertainment industry in Australia, we’re delighted that Ticketek will continue to provide its ticketing services at the MCG and we look forward to working with them to bring some new and exciting events to the stadium."

TEG CEO Geoff Jones said the extension of the partnership was a proud moment in Ticketek’s four-decade history.

"The MCG is a national treasure in Australian sport and entertainment,” said Jones.

"We are honored and delighted to have a continuing role in the delivery of great events at this world-renowned venue in partnership with the MCC."

I seriously lol'd at that.

[Supermercado 2,797]

Staggered to discover that putting all the games on sale at once has ended in a debacle.

[Docs Demons 1,790]

This shambles is pathetic. Just trust you all finally get tickets like I finally managed.

Coming down from Brisbane the Friday morning with Sons and 12 year old Twin Grand Sons. Hit Tulla 12.30pm. Bit early however have not been back in Melbourne for 20 odd years so looking for a place where the Demon faithful have a drink/feed before the game. All suggestions will be appreciated.

Yeah right

[RalphiusMaximus 6,046]

I don't know if it helps, but i had success with their mobile site. Never got past the queue on my pc though. I do plan on writing to whoever it is that keeps inflicting these muppets on us to strongly urge them to take their business elsewhere.

same with optus and the world cup.

the problem isn't so much the organizations. it's the vendors who assure they can handle the traffic and strain. there would be financial clauses but unfortunately this doesn't help the average punter.

[3Dee 1,153]

There are no tickets currently available for sale (*except MCC) **EDIT MCC SOLD OUT**

There are still members tickets and GA tickets available.

We are currently waiting on an announcement from AFL / Ticketek at when these tickets will be available to purchase.

Yes you can login but you won't be able to add to cart (hence the red text message).

These are the facts.

Edited August 28, 2018 by 3Dee
mcc sold out

[Jaded No More 68,903]

Now is says members tickets no longer on sale when you go to buy the tickets. 

[Maybe next year 170]

Now the site says club member tickets are no longer on sale - really?

[homsar 431]

I tried pasting and refreshing the direct link to the tickets from the MCC site rather than waiting in queue. Paste and refresh around 100 times and I got through.

[The Chief 697]

Tried using the email link via PC for about 2 hours and got nothing, but then got tickets by using the link from the MFC app on my phone
