you have to use "reserved ga". it's right at bottom of list (after you select "melbourne allocation 1"

Thanks Dais...sorted now appreciate it!

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 a problem, I swear I just want to enjoy a couple of beers with some mates.

Good thing level 4 of the ponsford stand is open or I would have given it a miss

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

And I am taking oxygen as well, haven’t been at such altitudes for years.

if you add a $0 junior ticket for every adult ticket you're getting, it should go through.

It should clearly state this when you book if it is a dry area. So if you see nothing you’ll be fine.

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.

And how about they turn on the lights before three quarter time!!

[Diamond_Jim 12,642]

Thought I'd get a ticket for Sunday.

AFL member

guess what... offered the same and opnly section that I was offered on Tuesday

Level 1 open last bay near the Ponsford stand

Question for AFL members, but for next week...

My friend is an AFL member and he wants to come to our game next week vs Richmond.

I have a home game GA membership.

How would I get us seats together?  Take his barcode and then enter that along with mine, when my allocation is available? So 5pm Tuesday?

Or would I have to wait for public release time the following day?

if you enter both at same time it works on lowest common multiple, so you would have to wait till his allocation time

i had this same issue round 1

sorry, just saw he is AFL member, so I don't really know. the above was for club member with free guest tickets (e.g. digital member)

assuming you mean for a home game (e.g. next week)

yes, if you enter them at same time. if you have reserved tickets it will seat you as though you didn't, so you would get a lesser seat, say on level 1 general reserve.

hint: process 2 guest tickets as junior 1-5 upgrade no charge. Worked for me and they can sit with you in a better reserved seat area such as level 2 wing northern or southern

Maybe it'd be the same as what you said but just in reverse. He is AFL, I am club with home game GA.

I'm lowest denominator, so wait till my allocation time? 

I'll try next week and see what happens  ?

Last time i got a nose bleed there was almost 30 years ago.  1981 Semi Final, Collingwood vs Fitzroy.  I cannot recall why or how i got there.   The G and the bar at the Hilton were basically my second home lol.

Must have been a freebie.  I recall seeing the players running around like ants, not feeling that connected to the atmosphere in any way even though there was a huge crowd, suffering from vertigo on occasions and not being happy with the outcome.

The days when i had 20/20 vision!

Ring AFL membership but I don't think you can sit together as you both( I dont  think ) can sit in each other's area unless the barcode is able to be included in your  booking ( Also Check Membership at MFC) before ticket times are upon you.

I’m level 4,652 in the Ponsford as well.  Will have to dig out the binoculars. 

Maybe if we all sit near enough together and yell out what we would otherwise have posted on DLand, we can get to watch the game instead of burying our heads in our phones. 

[Diamond_Jim 12,642]

Thought I might head into Docklands and use my AFL membership to watch Dogs v Suns but according to Ticketmaster no AFL tickets left !!!

Usually you just scan in and sit on level 4 general admission.

Lots of tickets for $25 but my AFL membership is supposed to provide free entry into all Melbourne games.

Not happy..... as usual ?

Could not agree more RN too high for me.
