    what other options are shown as available? are there any $0 options? are you a reserved seat member?

    you can also just try again, with ticketek this often throws up different options only minutes later

    Maybe you have to book during members time between 1399 tues and 0900 wednwsday. If general reserves I think after 1700 tues.

    i don't think so - that time frame you referenced is just exclusive (before next category). can still book after that time.

    just went in to look at the AFL availability.... very limited and dotted around the ground

    If you believe the ticket selling site it must be nearly a sellout which of course it isn't

    For example level 4 southern stand ... not available ?

    i'd be very pleased if we get over 40k

    the ticketing system is just too hard for the average fan and we won't get the train-up crowd from sleepy hollow at that 3.20pm timeslot

    Club gave me a guarantee this wouldn't happen this time. Ticketec stuffed up our crowd for the first game and they are doubling down again.

    The User Interface for the Ticketec system is lousey for the purposes (free club tickets) and can a bit of trial and error to generate a "sale" for the free tickets... be patient, re-read the club email, and keep trying... there is a way that works.

    See you at the game, it's gonna be a cracker!!!

    Go Demons

    i've had reasonable "luck". i'm a home game member with reserved seat (wing near mcc lvl1 open air). Both times I've got level 2 wing (South and North) for $0 which is an improvement for me.

    Happy to try for anyone if you pm me your club emailed barcode (i'm trustworthy....lol)

    Have been trying to get a wheelchair seat for a Tridents member who is severley disabled i.e already has ticket 2nd level on the wing in that area.

    Application to Ticketek...no response for 2 1/2 days....finally they send one ( just one, he needs a companion seat as well)  located bottom deck of Ponsford in GA!!  In first game of season they didn't even reply to the request!

    Fortunately called the club, who arranged a wheelchair seat in the Tridents area.  Fantastic effort by the Membership team, who have to cover for Ticketeks failures....again.

    but you would have looked at it as a user without a barcode presumably

    this means you would only see those seats available for non-members, which would be a subset

    i'd also guess this choice might increase closer to the game as ticketek do play funny buggers

    I had trouble at first, then realised that I hadn’t clicked “General Admission” after I went back and read the email. ? 
     

    Also, if entering multiple barcodes, how are you entering them? That might cause an issue? I used 2 barcodes but entered the 2nd one under the first one on a seperate line, not consecutively.

    I went to a Ticketek agency attached to our local Newsagency 10 mins before the time. He found tickets ( I am a MFC reserved seat member) almost alongside where we were  originally assigned. Very happy!

    full AFL member with MFC support and used barcode so no they just like to save money by not opening the upper sections.

    I had forgotten to log on! after several attempts I realised that the issue was with the operator (namely me) ...anywhoo, all ticketed now and will not make that mistake again.

    It's not you. Their 'keep me logged in checkbox' is broken. It's likely just adding to the confusion. I've been thinking of writing up somewhat of a guide for what I do because I'm fairly tech savvy and find it pretty painful. God knows how the technologically illiterate are supposed to do it.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
