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!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
