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"

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

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
