[Rosco 10]

There is some GA available it seems but only in the Ponsford. Seems theyve blocked off level 4 at least in the Southern Stand which is ridiculous considering the weather and chance of rain. I wonder whether it's a club, AFL or MCG decision.

its all sold out according to the tickettek app, i'll be going one way or another tomorrow but this deters me going to the footy in the future. Imo it's a cash grab, they could easily open up more GA, I'm just a pesky commoner.

You can have my ticket unfortunately Rosco, my 5yr old is sick as a dog so can’t take him and have to look after the 2yr old instead. So I have an adult ticket and a 5yr ticket on ground level section M53, row V (right in the heart of the Dees faithful).

It would be an MCG decision in regards to how much staff to roster on and opening bars/food outlets based on expected crowd

But wouldn't they pass the cost on to the home team? So could be an MFC decision to reduce game day expenses.

I don't believe the MFC get to decide (or take on the cost of) how much of the ground's facilities are open or how much food and beverage staff is rostered on.

How do you release a ticket from club app? Anyone worked it out?

Once you log into the digital membership on your app this game will come up. Tap on it and it should show you the ticket. You can then add it to our wallet (if you don’t have an iPhone you can take a screenshot of it. The barcode will still work).

Thats what i did, I added it to Google pay which is equivalent to Wallet, with ticketek you could share your ticket with someone else and add their phone number and the ticket was passed on.

With this new system it seems as though this method has not been added to the interface of the app.

Below it has the Forward option and the Sell option but you can access them for some reason so i ended up taking a screenshot and passing it on that way.

Tried ringing and they only man the phones mom-fri 9-5. And they haven’t answered two tweets asking what is going on. Pretty crap really. Don’t want to drive 90 minutes each way with a 2 year old only to have issues at the gate.

Pretty pi$5ed off about this. Tried multiple social media avenues and no answer. I’m going to have to risk it, which is ridiculous. I get staff numbers are down due to covid, but it’s basic stuff to let members know these things when I pay $630 a year (combined with the donation last year). Member appreciation round my [censored].

Trying to take my 2 year old to my reserved seat. Previous years you just walk them through the turnstile. Earlier this year you could add a child through the ticketek process. Now they have the app barcode there is zero info about how to get your kid in even though state gov and mcg covid rules say a kid 12 months or older needs a ticket. No info from the club at all.

Why cant fans just roll up at the ground and pay cash or is that too simple nowdays. Im assuming somenes making a profit from this.

I understand, that is pretty poor from all parties, you'd think there would be info available and a Explanation on the MCG/ ticketek website in their FAQ page.
