Hi Daisy

I think I have it worked out.

One option was an upgrade was $0 when I added it to a child 

It is a shame I have bought my ticket but cannot see how this system is workable.

Happy that others seem to have no problem but it's like trying to booking finals tickets for me.

good for you

it's certainly a confusing interface that easily leads one down the wrong path.

i lost 2 hours i'll never recover

let us know if you got your $0 tickets (by now you will probably end up on top level ponsford)

p.s. with multiple barcodes just select only 1 for each barcode

I am going to that part. It shows the $0 options. You select them and they ask for payment. It's exactly the way JTR describes except for the end result!

Does it actually require you to make a payment, or just click the payment icon? You are making a payment of $0, so there is no issue with selecting this.

Yep, same. It wasn't hard. I really don't understand what all the confusion is about.

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 it told me I owe $207 (5 tickets). So I tried again under general admin, and all went smoothly, until it died and said 'something went wrong with your payment' (which was $0?!). It took 3 tries for it to work today, whereas normally I am in and out in 2 minutes.

Anyway, my beef is that there is absolutely no reason to be allocated seats on level 4 behind the goals for a game that will barely attract 40,000 people. 

I don't think I'll bother going to away games this year, although I pay an arm and a leg to get free entry to them. I prefer to watch on  TV than be stuck up in the heavens behind the goals.

This is a joke. Some one txt me their seat and it came up with the seat I had previously booked ??????? Then shared it so got tickitek mesage but you can't do anything with the message and my original txt from tickitek disappeared from my phone ??????.

I need a very strong drink.


Just heard on radio there is a chance of going 100% capacity by Anzac Eve, all depending on trialling some new format this weekend with the ticketing agencies. Health Department to make a call as early as next Monday possibly.

Worse than trying to get finals tickets in 2018, for a round 5 game that with be under 50% capacity. What a debacle

i tried that too, but no luck. i've just wasted over an hour going backwards and forwards

what a [censored] joke

anyone got through to club re this?

I got through to someone at the club daisy and he assured me scanning junior tickets won’t be a problem as the MCG staff are well aware and understanding of the ticketing problems encountered by supporters.

Yep no joy for me today, tried to purchase GA with my recriprical game entitlement with 2 juniors and want to charge $90, should be 10 bucks. Will try again tonight

the new system isn't rocket science and is being trialed for a couple of games this weekend.

All it is that if you buy five tickets you have to put in contact details for all five and not just yourself as the buyer


My mate was buying tix as a non-member just now.  selected a seat on ground level on the wing - $60 each! I dont think we can expect many people to be at this game

he then selected general reserve and got seats behind the goal for $27. it said only one seat per purchase but he bought two and it let him

Strange all round

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

yes, i'm aware of using junior tickets (1-5 yo). i used it round one so grandkids could sit with me on lvl2

didn't help me though for this away game as reserved means nothing, everything is "reserved general admission"

yes but having a reserved seat doesn't work for "compensation away game". it's all "melbourne allocation"/ "reserverd general admission",

Thanks, sounds simple enough D_J.....will supporters get their reserved seats back if it eventuates?

Oh sorry...I was sure I didn’t select the 1-5 option. There’s not one of us under 5 so I thought it could be an issue.

Agree. Not our normal seats but reserved in the Melbourne allocation. Still have to be a jnr to avoid paying again.

my guess is no as they want to maintain control of which parts of the ground are opened.

As MFC crowds are in the main around 30-40k I foresee a lot of closed levels for the year.

Hope I'm wrong

i didn't have to (after trying numerous wrong options for 1hr45min)

finally got 3 seats in "melbourne allocated 1", "reserved general admittance" (all other options ended up costing $$s)

Any idea why they closed every level 4 area aside from the MCC on one of Melbourne's wettest days of 2021 so far, last Sunday?

Finally got level 4 ponsford. I'm a reserved seat member usually level 10 rows back. Might dust of the old binoculars

They have free oxygen bottles under the seats up there BM.

They open up L4 if there is more demand for seats than there are seats available on L1.

There wasn't, unfortunately.

As L4 tickets are available this week, I assume it'll be a bigger crowd than vs Cats

Other than the "only one seats per purchase" and buying two, everything else is normal.

The L1 tickets on the wing are $60, which is what they are for that particular area (bays M8 to M15)

The tickets your friend got for $27 are general admission, which is also normal for any GA seating section.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
