Well that was easy. They say priority 1 is definately a ticket. Hope so.

Just registered also.  As it has been way too long, does anyone know when you choose the category seating or is a case of random selection so you pay for category 1 seating even if you only want to pay for Category 3 seating

I understand it is a ballot process, from best available downward

I know this is a long shot, but if anyone has access to a Priority 2 barcode they are not planning on using (and is feeling extra generous), please private message me. I'm a Priority 2 member but am looking for a way to get a family member to the game with me (they're a long-suffering supporter who isn't a member because they live overseas).

Promise I'm not a scalper! ?

plus 3 cups of coffee for the privilege of printing your own ticket on your own printer, old chap. yes, all small change but then multiply that small change by a very large number it's  big gravy 

and i'd call a consumer choice of 1 a monopoly

You know the saying about arguing with a fool, dc....

Just have to take what your'e allocated from Cat 1 down, and charged accordingly


After numerous phone calls since last Friday  trying to sort out my son's barcode after it was discovered that they had applied both of our GF Guarantees to my membership only, I have finally managed to get us registered. 

Why they (at the club) wouldn't have noticed the error in the first place is beyond me, as being limited to one ticket per member, any club membership can only have a single GF Guarantee attached... I only noticed it because the letter my son received in the post stated that based on his membership, he was a priority 2 member (I didn't even receive a posted letter for mine).

After all of that, they owe me a win on Saturday ?

It's random allocation so ensure you have the funds available for all categories

Did mine on the 'phone.  In a queue for less than 5 minutes.  Quick and easy!

Now for the more difficult part on Saturday arvo.  

 

 

Priority one booked in! 

You don't get a choice of ticket, just get allocated anything and have to pay it (max is $410). All very foreign to me!

Jokes on them, I would pay $1,000 to watch the Dees on GF day.

Anyone else just gazing at their screen in disbelief after registering? Wow, one win away from the big dance. 


Official notification of success in the ballot is Monday Sept 24. 

If we win credit cards of successful ticket recipients will be charged on Sat night or Sunday.  So rather than wait till Monday check your credit cards on-line for early advice.

Come on, Demons!!

Can you please update your username to 'Maybe this year' until we know otherwise.

We need everyone pulling in the same direction.

TIA.


Alright, I have more P2 barcodes than I have the need for tickets, BUT of course I want to maximise my chances to get tickets.  How easy (and legal) is it to on sell any tickets I might be lucky enough to get?

perfectly legal if you are not profiteering

and you'd have no problem doing it thru demonland and ensuring it goes to a demon

I have two P3 barcodes of my Dad's and a mate. Is it worth entering them in the ballot this arvo or is too much of a long shot?

I'm P1 and have registered.

I live in Perth and am wondering if anyone knows about airline pricing. If we were to win on Saturday and assuming that many west coast fans would then cancel their flights would that mean that flights to Melbourne for the GF plummet in price?

i have not bought a flight as yet so am curious.

Hey mate, they're as dear as poison. Most WCE fans started buying airfares mid season when they were 10/0 and for that reason plus the usual September airfare rort, the prices are pretty extreme for Perth/Melbourne legs..

I conveniently planned a business trip to NSW 4 weeks ago and fly from Sydney into Melbourne on the Thursday night ready for the GF parade if we make it. My return ticket Perth was nearly $700 alone on the Sunday evening (if we make it) which was the cheapest available and there was stuff-all seats then.

Suggest if you're going to make the call, you might need to look at Perth to Bris/Syd/Adel etc and then onto Melbs.

Cheers

 


I have a P2 barcode.  My 27yr old son has a P3 barcode.  Both of us are long standing members, his is a 3 game membership because of other sport commitments in winter.  We would love to apply together but, given the numbers, I doubt there's much chance of success if we both opt for P3.

As with other appeals above, I would hugely appreciate any offer of the use of a P2 barcode that anyone is not planning to use.  Absolutely no intention to on-sell. That's unthinkable.  All evidence of any code sent to me will be destroyed afterwards.

Please PM me today if you are feeling generous and able to help.

Go Dees.

Thanks McQueen. I might as well wait until Sunday now and book after we win.

I just wonder if Eagles fans can on sell their flights or is that not possible?

To my knowledge, tickets are non-transferable between people due to security regulations etc. 

You can travel under another persons name (their ticket) illegally of course but the risk of fines and other restrictions could be a bit exy. 

Priority One - that was easy. Good luck to the rest of you. Here's hoping we get there.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
