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.

    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

    Tickets will be available for redemption to member categories at the below times on Tuesday, 20 April:

    • Priority 1 – Level 2 Premium Reserved Seat Members – from 1pm
    • Priority 2 – Level 1 Reserved Seat Members – from 3pm
    • Priority 3 – General Admission Members – from 5pm

    Ticket redemptions will close from 9am-1pm Wednesday 21 April before re-opening to all members and public.

    Also option to buy 3 game Blockbuster Membership which may enable a Priority 1 booking.  Check the club.

    NOT A MEMBER? SIGN UP NOW FOR A BLOCKBUSTER MEMBERSHIP AND BE THERE FOR ANZAC DAY EVE - PLUS OUR HUGE CLASHES WITH CARLTON AND COLLINGWOOD.

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

    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.

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
