I'm a Trident member coming from Brisbane for the Richmond game. I am bringing a friend who I'm trying to convert. Is there anyway I can get her in the reserve area as well? I don't want to risk waiting for general admission as everything is booked. I notice the club is still saying you can get a guest pass on the membership page, but this isn't that case. 

Please help!! 

 

Hard to complain given we've got to be one of the few countries who are able to attend such crowded events, mask free etc. 

But jeez it's an absolute pain booking a desired seat in the hope of sitting with family/friends as an MCC member. Only two visitors tickets per member and you can't select seats, only bays. 

Happy to get them but feel for those who want to go with their family. 

 

Anyone know if we go back to 100% capacity this weekend? Would love my seat back (still just happy to be there don’t get me wrong)

It looks like 'everything is booked' because sales haven't opened yet. 

Melbourne members get first choice.  From club website: https://www.melbournefc.com.au/member-ticketing/r6

Cost of this membership is somewhat more than a ticket/reserved seat for ANZAC Eve game but might still be worth it.

MCC opened at 900 am all level 1 and 2 gone by 920 This is going to be huge

 


If ever there is a year where the Anzac Eve crowd tops Anzac Day this has to be it.

We got close in 2017 with 85657 as opposed to 87865. It will come down to the State Govt and whether or not they increase capacity.

14th v 16th on Sunday arvo or 2nd v 5th on Saturday night? No brainer.

Got a close row on Level 2, excited but cautious of the Tiges

Surely its back to 100% this week? What is the point of reduced crowds when they just shut off the top level and herd everyone in close together anyway? Utterly pointless.

Couldnt agree more - so many empty seats at the G yesterday and we are all crammed in like sardines in a few bays, I thought how ridiculous

Quick question, P10-14 or N1-4? Thoughts?

This isn't relevant for the Richmond game, more for the seats when things go back to normal. I enjoyed N13 for the Geelong and Free game.

I prefer N tier to P tier.  See all the oval and closer to the play.

They're all good. Although, I was sitting in P14 yesterday and there are speaker boxes hanging from the stands that obstruct viewing to both scoreboard displays which was a bit frustrating when reviewing replays. We moved after half time to seats around P10, the view was better. (just to get some space, agree with the packed in comments which is just crazy) 

If they go back to 100% capacity I wonder if we can use our membership cards and sit in our usual seat without having to go through any tickitek rubbish ?

Must be the ageing  process LH but I have no idea what all the above means, thank God I will be watching on replay at home in my lounge. I have a big 70th birthday of a close friend to attend on Saturday night.

Might just be my pessimism about the AFL but I reckon it will apply from Sunday’s MCG game.

There was an article in the HS today that suggests that this will be the case. It seems as though this is a bigger factor in lower crowd sizes, than any capacity issues.

I think you may be right OD.


Leaving the finances aside for a moment, as we seem to have a finite membership base and have first dibs at buying tickets wouldn't a 75% attendance limit on Saturday night just prevent 25,000 Richmond members from getting into the ground ?

100% attendance is a big issue for the MFC.

Club makes very little additional revenue from member attendance. We make it from Tiger followers paying for entry.

The limits on the formal Anzac ceremonies means that it's not a good look to move to 100% this weekend.

My guess is 85% capacity... a lovely compromise based on "zoning."

Hi DJ. I was thinking along the lines of all of the Richmond fans that attend are likely to be season ticket holders and therefore of no financial gain to us anyway. Better to keep them out of the ground and have a higher ratio of our fans in attendance on the night.

If a person has home and away membership I wonder whether the member's club pays the home club for attendance?

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
