Normally the process is very smooth. Today I selected 'Melbourne allocation 1', thinking well yep, I am a H&A reserved seat member that makes sense (and it is our replacement game), and then

Yep. Being a 71 year old junior seems to be the only way I can get the reserved seat I've already paid for :) And 70 yr old Mrs B will be pleased she is attending with junior status

Does anyone know which bays are considered "dry/alcohol free zones"? My reserved seat ticket is unlocking seats in M5 or M34, I'm concerned these are alcohol free.   I sound like I have

Thanks daisycutter. 

What I would like to know is why hasn't the MFC sent out any messages to members that this is the case. This shoould have been done yesterday at the latest. Communicating with members is not one of the strong points about te MFC. Maybe the new president can put the shoe up some backsides and get the administrators to look after the members a bit better.

On Ticketek it says Club Members tickets go on sale today from 1pm. Can you book tickets today with a Melbourne home & away membership or are we strictly tomorrow?

It would help if the club let members know as it is a reciprical game. I think what you are talking about is hawthorn members only.

Tried to get MCC tickets yesterday.  Got to payment page and it said credit card blocked, contact supplier.....It isn't and it wasn't.  So can't buy tickets.

So head off to Ticketek sellers.  One in Exhibition st says their website.  Get there.  It's closed.  Off to Atheneum.  Fortunately open.  Told my problem is not uncommon, and they are only an agency, so nothing they can do.  No-one answers the phones at Ticketek.

Paid for ticket with same credit card......Ticket sent to phone digitally, straight away.  Then it prints out at the sellers terminal as well to the surprise of the agent. 

Friend who had bought our tickets last week got multiple messages during the game with repeats of the tickets we had bought and used to get into the ground.

Let's hope this covid restriction ends soon, so we don't have to keep interacting with these clowns.

According to the MFC Website it says:

Tickets will be available from 10am to 12pm AEST on Wednesday, April 14.

Agree that communication should have gone out today or whatever day it has usually gone out to reiterate the correct date.

I understand that tickets are available for members tomorrow and the club may very well put out the email later today or tomorrow morning as a reminder. However because people are now used to the Tuesday buying of tickets it would have been nice for an email and social media reminder that Members can get tickets on Wednesday for their replacement game.

I've mentioned this on the podcast but I believe that even once the COVID restrictions end there is a good chance the AFL & venue will want to keep this arrangement so they know exactly how many people will be rocking up and where they'll be sitting. It is a good form of control and helps them with staffing and catering requirements.

and it allows them to close off more of the ground thus reducing staff and cleaning costs.

The issue will be who pays them or the ticket company or will we all get the dreaded $5 admin fee

Yes reduction in cleaning would be a factor too.

They can start by cleaning the dried bird poo that has been smeared on my seat for close to a decade.

Just to confirm I just tried my barcode now (1:00pm - which usually is the premium home member ticket time) and got the following error.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) 10am for Melbourne Members Reciprocal Tickets

is the barcode they normally email the same each week?

This is a complete joke. We now have to qr code going into the ground so we should be able to use our normal MFC members ticket. Those buying tickets at the gate should supply id and that is entered into system when purchasing ticket. I don't care what any one thinks the pollies just want to have complete control over our lives.

I don't believe it's as nefarious as that. I think it will eventually go back to normal but I do believe that it won't be normal straight away even once we go back to 100%. 

Not a political opinion. I think we'd be seeing the same controls no matter who is in power.

Well done to the MCG for closing the top level of the southern  and ponsford stand last week (where most seats are under cover) despite it raining for most of the game.

Mentioned that to a mate as the rain started.

wow - nice perseverance

Clowns is a perfect way to describe them - their company is set up to supply tickets to events and they can't even do that?! pay some money and get a decent website and platform for the love of god!

Anzac eve promises to be a debacle

I am so greatful that both our 'blockbusters' this year are our home games.

It is a nightmare to get tickets to the ANZAC eve and Queens Birthday games at the best of times, let alone with restrictions and reduced capacity.

Lets hope that by finals time, we are back to 100% capacity.... *puts lid back on*

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
