Just wondering if anyone has any clue how ticket sales are likely to be done next week given the Reduced capacity and an away game ?

 

an email went out today from either hq or ticketek or both...

afl member info:
 

On-sale 10am AEDT,
Tuesday, March 23

The following AFL members will have access from 10am AEDT:

  • AFL Gold Members with Competing Club of Support 
  • AFL Silver Members with Competing Club of Support

On-sale 11am AEDT,
Tuesday, March 23

The following AFL members will have access from 11am AEDT:

  • AFL Gold Members with Non-competing Club of Support 
  • AFL Silver Members with Non-competing Club of Support 
  • All AFL Bronze Members

 

 

That's only AFL Members. I'd say it's going to be difficult to get tickets if the reduced capacity is maintained - I think Hawks had about 3000 tickets for their "away" game members book.

 

Was so much better when we paid $10 at turnstile.  

I don’t even know what they call Colonial this year. It’s not on website and Mars Stadium is listed.

As a Docklands game I think it's Ticketmaster and not Ticketek also

It is ticketmaster. We will have to wait and see what the dictators do with crowd capacties. If they increase it to 75 % then you would stand a goood chance of getting a ticket if you get on early enough.  At this stage I will be going to the girls game at Casey then going home to abuse the T.V. watching the mens. My membership is only home games.

 

If they increase to 75% you’d have to be pretty stiff to miss out on a 40,000 capacity.

We’ve only once got 40,000 to a Saints v Dees game at Marvel and that was when we started the season 3-0 and were flying at the time.

2005?

Correct.

We were flying in the early part of 2005, but did lose to St Kilda that arvo after a last quarter fade out.

Yep. Bruce was phenomenal to start that season until that game.

Yeah but not haha funny

My tickets say enter at Gate 5B. The Marvel Stadium Map only shows a Gate 5. Where is Gate 5B at Marvel stadium? Am I being too pedantic?

Agreed, Radar. I longingly miss the days of being able to casually rock up to the MCG, confidently assured of being able to buy a ticket for $10 from one of the bored staff in the many available ticket-selling-boxes. Upon receipt of my ticket, the walk through the turnstile was a non-event (absent of today's security guards brandishing electronic metal-detector wands). The proceeding walk from there up the stairs (or not) to choose a spot to sit or stand to watch the game was (and still is) a moment to savour. To this day, at this moment, I always believe that Melbourne can win. Each week that is either a curse or affirms my faith in the MFC. I am confident that I am not solitary in holding this notion. But I digress...When I finally find a seat and revel in the grand greenery of the hallowed turf, I swim in the hubbub of the babbling crowd and I sigh with relief. I've made it. I get a beer, sit down in my seat and wait to enjoy watching my beloved Dees go into battle. This week, Radar, I'll be watching from the wing at Docklands.Colonial.Marvel. I miss the old days of just rocking up and going to the footy. An historical pastime now necessitating the effort of pre-booking tickets at $65 each (even as a MFC member) to see the Dees play this Saturday with a non MFC friend at Marvel Stadium. Traditionally we meet to attend this game and usually it is the only time we meet each year. I enjoy this day, but tend to enjoy the matches we share at the MCG more than those at Docklands.

expecting 25,000 for this week IMO

I think you might be on the money.

Last night’s crowd of just 51,000 emphasises that not all folks are ready to attend the footy yet.

Plus most MFC fans don’t attend Marvel.

That got me all nostalgic AC/DeeC, and reminded me of days gone by when walking up from Richmond station, I could hear the roar of the crowd watching the reserves game and I would walk quicker and quicker thinking I was missing something.

Gate 5 has been split down the middle as part of the covid segregation inside. Just go to gate 5 as normal and you'll see tones of signage indicating which side is A and B. I was able to see it from the train a couple weeks back

Thanks A.W, got in no probs!

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
