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 ?

I highly doubt it - AFL membership trialled a couple of games this past weekend where people had to enter contact details for every person they were purchasing tickets for in anticipation of going back to 100%. So you'll still need to reserve tickets and you'll also need the contact details of anyone you're our purchasing tickets for

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

It's a good question. Bottom line is if we don't gain financially from their members attending our game then I would want to limit how many of them get into the ground. We should take any advantage we can get.

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.

I've been told by someone at the AFL that it is all to do with the state government. Apparently, to be at 100%, they want the contact details of every single person that attends the game. Currently, the just get the details of the person that buys the ticket. QR code would have to be every single person that enters the ground, not just you doing it for your group etc. The AFL is trying to get around it but they aren't having much luck.

Just got an email from AFL membership which makes it sound as though crowds will not be increased for this week

Has anyone received their email with barcode yet? I feel like I'd received earlier round emails by now but maybe I'm just paranoid at the prospect of missing Chunk's 300th.

but you should already know your barcode. the email will only tell you what you know 

There are a heap of new members that have not received their barcodes. What the membership get a ton of calls in the morning for new members trying to get their barcode.

The bar code is a 12 digit number and is shown on the back of your membership card, just above the scanning bar. It is different to the membership number.

fwiw I received the email on March 5, titled:  Important match access information for 2021

I am more interested to get the game day info to know what time the ceremony will begin so I can plan my day.

A tip for anyone who has yet to get to the G this year.... allow plenty of time, as you need to scan a QR code before entering and the lines get backed up.

And if your an afl member buying tickets for others have their names and mobiles  on  word doc so you can cut and paste the info quickly when buying tickets . Thinking system will be under pressure  with 2 big games  for sale.

of course new members will need the email to get barcode for ticketek

if you haven't got it by 9am tomorrow and a new member, i'd get on the phone to the club 

mfc memberships can book from 1pm tomorrow depending on membership level (afl,mcc members i don't know about)

Did any MCC members have trouble getting visitor tickets for this game. I know of one other person who couldn't access visitor tickets. Both of us are full members!!

Hi ls

i was fortunate enough to score two visitors tickets for my daughters. I was logged on by 9am and secured them in the first 15mins or so. We had to book on level 1 as no visitors tickets are available for level 2.

we are travelling down from Brisbane for the game (first time in two years we get to go back home!) and whilst we were super lucky to be able to watch six games live last year there’s nothing like being able to get back to the G especially on such a special occasion! 

ticketing emails from club just arrived, including barcodes

they also include updated info on how to navigate ticketek properly for $0 tickets

My daughter got 2 visitors tickets on level 4 for her mum and step dad but that was at 91.15  and the site was as busy as I have ever seen.

The website was tricky as the visitors drop down didn'

t appear until she register herself for a ticket. Then she had to put  name and mobile number to each individual ticket. Even if we go to increased capacity we will be linking name and mobile to a ticket for quite a while

I imagine AFL members will be a [censored] show tomorrow given Richmond has a large AFL members fanbase. Predicting I'll be bumped up to level 4. Good news is that even with both clubs' accumulative AFL members numbers, a seat is guaranteed for members with Melbourne or Richmond club support given they don't make up the total number of tickets available. You would think AFL members will fill up though with neutral supporters (and Melbourne/Rich supporters borrowing memberships from friends).

I booked Level 2 seats so that is why there were no visitors tickets available. I am so nervous using this system that I didnt bother trying to choose another level. Enjoy the game and the occasion. If you havent seen it live at the G before it is super emotional and an event you won't forget.

My email apparently no longer exists or linked. No idea what the person did on the phone. My account has been the same for years. Total shambles. Will get it sorted in the morning.
