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

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
