Essendon’s home game so they’ll get most tix.

Most likely something like 

15k Bombers supporters 

5k Melbourne

5k AFL MCC Corporate

I’d say mcc and AFL members  will be proportionate to the the number of seats those areas have in the ground that’s how it worked earlier in the year, mcc is approx 25% of seats, AFL members area is similar. Meaning only about 50% max will be club and general admin. So maybe 10k bombers and 2.5k Melbourne members is my guess if total capacity is capped at 25%

 

Total trash. Another weekend down the drain of seeing my team play. Living in this state is getting really tiresome.

Especially when we are having such a good year and we don’t get to fully enjoy the experience.

Heres hoping it gets back to normal by finals

Looks about right.

Perhaps a fraction more AFL and MCC members and a fraction less club members I reckon.

I assume the announcement will come at today's press conference. 0 cases and strong testing numbers today.

If they allow the same number of spectators at Marvel as they do the MCG, you just know they have no common sense.

I would’ve said you’d have a better chance of being struck by lightning. But hey, you do you, fellah. ?

That is what is being indicated - 25k cap at outdoor venues regardless of capacity

I can't make it on Saturday night regardless of cap, but it's going to be a nervous wait for other AFL members ticket holders such as yourself and Praha, considering Essendon probably have 6,000 - 8,000 AFL Essendon member club support.

You'd think 2,500 - 4,000 AFL members will be allocated tickets to only Dons and Dees support packages.

Which makes no sense. Marvel isn't even really an 'outdoor' venue if the roof is closed.

 

85% Capacity at Marvel and the G - from July 1st

Misread the Press release

That’s not a percentage though. That’s ridiculous! So, if a venue has a capacity of, say, 50,000 and they cap it at 25,000 then that’s 50% so why can’t they go 50% at the G? It’s so nonsensical. 

I would find this easier to accept if we were the home side. As things stand as a tridents member my chances of getting tickets will be slim to none. To get my footy fix this week I might have to trek out to Windy Hill and see how Weids fares.

I'd go to Casey if I were you.

Ah! Our home game is it BB? In which case I'm crossing my fingers I'll get tickets for the G as Casey is way too far out of my way.

When will the tickets go on sale? For MCC?

3pm today

 

AFL Reserve available from Friday 9am and Club members from Friday 10am according to Ticketek website. And due to Government regulations, Level 4 seating will not be available for this match.

For those wanting to attend I hope you get tickets. 

Edited by Dee Zephyr

Got my MCC seat, you beauty. Will need to make enough noise for two people given that the crowd will only be about half of what it would otherwise be.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
