They include the standing room which could total up to say 10k across both clubs which means only around 5k seats available to priority 2.

What a pity GWS couldn't make it.

I see.

What I don't understand is who the hell are the other 60,000 people who will get tickets to the grand final then, if only 40,000 are club member tickets?

    It's in the PDF file Steve (prices below Full/Concession)

    CATEGORY 1 $410 $349

    CATEGORY 2 $400 $340

    CATEGORY 3 $370 $315

    CATEGORY 4 $340 $289

    CATEGORY 5 $300 $255

    CATEGORY 6 $250 $213

    CATEGORY 7 $180 $153

    R'VIEW/STAND $150 $128

     

    am i right in thinking that you can't specify a preferred category in the ballot?

    i.e. if you wanted standing room you couldn't nominate and could end up with category 1

    Nope, it says to give yourself best chance in the ballot, you should select ALL categories and just deal with what you get.

    Approx:

    • 20,000 to MCC members,
    • 20,000 to AFL members,
    • 20,000 to AFL affliations and sponsors.

    Numbers to each group can vary.

    If anyone is a P2 (or better) member and not able to go to the GF, I would love to be able to use your code for a chance at a ticket. Please PM! Thank you.

    Still no email for gf registration for me. Come on dees!

    Poor form from the club.

    When I rang the club, the on hold message said the email was being sent at lunchtime. I got mine 2:48, hang in there.

    I got an email around 2.30 today about the ballot;  i am an interstate member category 3.

    It was pretty noisy and my voice was totally gone by quarter time. I wasted it all telling Nicholls what a total dick he is. 

    So apparently only 10,000 MFC members have priority 1 memberships (myself included!), and the club will get 20,000 tickets allocated, so priority 2 members have a decent chance of getting a seat.

    I would tell everyone to get an upgraded membership next year, but honestly, I don't want to be fighting it out with more people for a good GF ticket... so stay as you are ;)

    Thanks, do you know how many priority two members the club has? Im a priority 2 but my three kids are priority 3.

    Also, if each club has an allocation of 20k each who do the remaining 60k tickets go to? Surely a situation where more than half of the people attending do not support either team is not the ideal atmosphere.

    Would anyone know, if I’m a Redleg member and I am guaranteed a GF ticket should MFC participate, where roughly I’d be seated?

    Cheers

    Depends on how much your willing to pay for a ticket. 

    Im a Redleg member also and so is my Dad so we will both go along, I need another Redleg barcode though so I can get my son a ticket....

    Well I managed to get down to Melbourne for 3 games during the season. Having said that I missed the last two weeks. I’m more than happy to pay the $410, I’m hoping that would land me somewhere on level 2.

    Same. It's a whole lot of e-mails all going at once.

    I would think that if you are in Priority 1, you get drawn out of the ballot before priority 2/3 and therefore are more likely to get allocated better seats?

    I mean look I don't care where I sit, but surely if you've forked out money for a priority 1 membership, you won't end up in crappier seats than someone who got picked from priority 2 group?

    Yeah you're probably right, I guess it depends on which order they release the bays in. You'd assume priority 1 get ground/2nd level first and once that's exhausted they move to the upper levels.

    When we got seats to the GF in 2000 we were up the top of the old Ponsford Stand. No idea what the allocation was like then though, my dad organised all that as was still a teenager.

    I haven't read through all the fine print yet but my 9 year old Son is a Priority 2 and I'm a Priority 3 ?

    Hoping the fine print explains how I register to give us both a chance to go... Surely they don't expect him to go on his own? Although he would! Haha

    Far out, the process to acquire tickets seems ridiculously confusing. If we happen to make it I’m going to find a scalper.

    Either that or scalp a finder ?

    I'll be in the queue for a Priority 2 ticket and will be mightily effed off if some non-member barcode beggar gets a seat ahead of me.

    On ya bike (putting it very politely)

    My understanding is that if you group together members of various priorities, the chances drop down to that of the lowest priority. The system will be able to match barcode numbers with priority level.

    So, for two priority 1's and one priority 2 to attend together they will all go into a priority 2 category.

    Honestly, who the [censored] thought this would even be something we would discuss this late in the year? Grand final tickets? Get out of here!

    It's crazy! ? But as it's a real possibility we are forced to think ahead... I'm totally confused though... My 9yr old is a P2 while my 5yr old daughter and myself are P3 ?

    All I need is 1 adult + 1 concession for my son and I... But if I register myself with him then we both end up P3 ? 

    Do I bite the bullet and register his P2 separately and then myself and daughter P3? Then what if he gets a P2 and we miss out ? I'll beefarked if I'm sending him on his own ?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
