Tickets round 4

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,856]

So we're expecting a wet and windy Sunday afternoon and they're possibly closing the top level of the AFL members where it's under cover.

Makes complete sense....

my reading of the various weather forecasts is that the game time should be dry or pretty dry. lowest rain probability is during game time. will be coldish, overcast and windyish (but mcg gives reasonable wind protection) so at least we  will have an excuse for poor goal kicking

Fingers crossed the rain stays away.

Given that we kicked 12.19 under a roof, I shudder to think what we'll manage in 33 K/PH wind.

Bearing in mind I live in the UK so might not be up on what’s going on with ticketing, I saw the guide to match day email and it was saying at the bottom that if you’re a general admission member you select that option and then pay a further $50 to get a reserved seat. Is that a mandatory option?

If so then the AFL and MCG are an absolute disgrace, surely if you’re a gen admission member you select that option and if finds you a spare seat that you don’t have to pay for. People were doing it tough last year and most held onto their membership last year despite there being zero value to it, to make people cough up more money to go to a match that they have already paid for with their membership is disgusting. 

Someone please tell me this isn’t the case...

No, it's not the case: we have a GA family membership, so you just enter the barcodes and get the tickets. Ironically, the reason I got the GA membership was that I prefer sitting on L4 wing, right next to the MCC Members, as I like to see the full ground, whereas we previously had reserved seats on L1. At the moment, you have to take whatever seats they give you, which for us are L1 behind the goals!

Really glad to hear it, I feel like it was bad wording then. Perhaps saying in order foe you to specify where you want to sit you have to pay extra.
