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

Same here. MFC member. Tried a few times, tried ringing the club.... said theyd ring back... that was Wed morning.

 

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 ?

 

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.

the ticketing system is just too hard for the average fan 

It's really not.

IF ITS SO GOOD WHY CANT WE CHOOSE WHERE WE SIT

 


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.

I cannot download the tickets from my lap top but can on my phone Go figure

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
