Next year?

Bloody hope not, still don’t understand the difference between 85% and 100%.

[Spargonicus 423]

I just got an email from MFC talking about the ticketing “Redemption Window”.

I feel this is appropriate terminology given the Demons’ chance for redemption is now. 
 

btw, any tips on getting tickets anywhere near my regular tickets? Lately, despite best efforts, we seem to end up on the other side of the ground.

Depends on the for and against...

See what happens when our members ship numbers rise and we win lots of games. Imagine what it must be like for Tigers members trying to get tickets. Not that I wish for the reverse, the one upside of watching on the Tele.

Likewise. Enjoyed the win against tigers with a sprinkle of rain in the Southern Stand as opposed to the undercover Olympic stand seats I have paid for for years. Clues from those more expert at defeating Ticketeck would be gratefully received.

Not sure why people are worried about 85 or 100%. We’re not filling stadiums yet. Weather aside I was disappointed with the turnout on Anzac Eve. Can’t imagine the crowd will top that figure.

I guess it's the hope that returning to 100% capacity will also mean not having to book your seats through Ticketek.

[praha 10,270]

Got my seats. Level 2, southern stand, right on the wing. Perfect.

[Dante 2,562]

I normally get an email or text giving me my bar codes for tikatek, ring up on the Tuesday after 1.00 and get my tickets, but I haven't got my emails/texts so far.

I'm a bit concerned that they have stuffed up, is anyone else in the same boat?

Enjoy the win.  Dees will run them off their feet after half time.

barcodes are exactly the same as before, so you should just book at same time with same barcode

to be safe you could just ring club this morning

All good'I found them in my junk mail

It's a bit confusing describing it as a "barcode" when it's really just a number.

Pretty hard when the ticketing system breaks down for 6 hours. Getting a ticket and sitting with family and friends is a complete joke, 

The bars are just insane. maybe 60 ppl in the bullring and 140 standing toe to toe outside 

Very hard if you want to go with friends and/or family, sit together etc etc.

Maybe we should all march on the MCG and extinction rebellion activists as that crowd seems to be allowed to gather in whatever numbers they want.

Any update on when we’ll be at 100% capacity?

expecting over 80K mate?

N49 Again.

Bring it on.

I don’t think that will happen anytime soon. The reason being the powers that be can’t, on the one hand, threaten five years prison for any Australian who attempts to return home from India, and at the same time allow 100% capacity on crowds at the footy. That is unless they were seen to be offering a trade-off, eg, mandatory mask wearing at the ground. I would happily wear a mask. Hells, I’d wear full PPE. But then my standards aren’t high since (as a result of circumstances beyond my control) I don't get to attend as many matches as I’d like.

Best seats in the house (non-AFL/MCC)

[Diamond_Jim 11,720]

The next arranged blockbuster is the dreamtime game in June/July. Can't see them going to 100% by then but not impossible.

Then it's the finals.

QB will probably be around 50k given Collingwood's year.

You just know there will be mini covid breakouts. How they are dealt with who knows.

Got level 2A this weekend...very pleased.

Federal aholes vs state aholes on those pints I would have thought. As in it’s up to the state government to allow the capacity change for venues and the heartless national government has locked Aussies out.

True. I guess since this situation is unprecedented the rules are kinda being made up as we go. Trial and error of biblical proportions.
