Return to Your Reserved Seat from Rd 9

[Demonland 74,258]

Premium members can return to their reserved seats from Round 9 vs Carlton.

So long N49. You will be missed.

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,519]

This is good.

Still waiting on the following to resume back to normal:

Top level of Southern Stand to re-open for all games.

Walk ups available for AFL membership, MCC and public.

Kids let in for free on Sundays.

Kids able to sit with parents on Sunday games in AFL members reserve at the MCG - free of charge

Hot pies/chips and cold beers rather than the other way around (although I concede this one is probably too hard to achieve)

i reckon they'll still keep the top levels closed if they predict a smaller crowd.

no problems......how are you off for socks and undies?

Want all my pals to sit in their reserved seats

Prepaid to the club, don't scoff

We'll happily download the club app

See old friends,

and tell Ticketek to @#$%k off!!!

(apologies to Steve Poltz)

The good news keep on coming today.

Thank god sanity has prevailed and we no longer have to deal with Ticketek to get a ticket to sit 3 rows behind our normal seat 

[poita 3,941]

Only the AFL could come up with a system that lets people sit in their own seats that is more complicated than the system to book tickets each week. 

A seven step process that can only be done two days before the game? How pathetic.

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,934]

I was quite enjoying being 7 rows closer to the bar in N53. At least we have our aisle seats back I guess. Swings and roundabouts. 

[Jaded No More 68,976]

I like how the inane ticketek system has been replaced by a short 18 step process to be undertaken 2 days prior to a game while upside wearing green pants between the hours of 2:46 and 3:14pm. 
Love how the AFL is keeping it simple ?

If we have reserved seats does our normal membership ticket get us into the game or is there more silly nonsense going on with ticketec.

you use the mfc app on your mobile

mfc will download a ticket to app which i presume will display a barcode for entry

what could go wrong ?

Can one person register for other people using the app or does each member have to do it themselves? Ive been getting tickets for family members so far and they  have little hope of doing it themselves.

I hope they stop the limit capacity on the bars too.. My god that is painful! Especially when you get a beer have a chat and then need to leave the bar to take a leak and can't get back in!

I don't understand the difficulty in using ticketek. It was taken me 5 minutes tops each time.

It's been quite painless for me and I've been getting infinitely better seating than my regular seats but I do understand that it might be difficult for others who are not as savvy whether it be the tech variety or just in understanding how it works generally.

I purchase tickets for family members and it has been seemless. I guarantee that if any of the people I am purchasing tickets for were to attempt it we would be watching the game at the junction oval if at all.

I only had issues for the Richmond game. My annoyance was paying for awesome seats I’ve picked but not being able to use them and getting allocated all sorts of rubbish I don’t pay for.

Fair enough then! I've only used my membership ticket barcode.

Can you only get into a game with a phone? What about downloading it onto an iPad? Or a printed copy of the ticket?

Mobile only by the looks of it

Ok so if I can’t attend and my daughter wants to use my premium seat she will have to take my mobile??

If she has her own phone she can download the MFC app and login as yourself, that should work also.

Thanks danielE288, my daughters are much more savvy than me so hopefully will be able to get around this additional bump in the road.?
