No email this week. Assuming it’s same as normal. 1pm for reserved seating level 2. 3pm for reserved seating level 1. 

They sent an email around (or to me anyway). 9.00am today

An was on the match day page on the MCC website

Will be warmer than at Mars Stadium as the wind chill factor for the GWS and Sydney game will make it bitter. Buddy isn't going to like it. Being from Ballarat I don't have a problem being "committed".

My dad was a Ballaarat* boy: many a happy but cold time, I’ve spent there!

*correct spelling according to my dad!

Once again.

A horrible winter's day expected and yet they close off the level of the Southern stand that has all the undercover seating.

weather and seating aside I encourage all Melb based supporters to get to the game a and make as much noise as you can 

its the home stretch - critical we maximise our support at each game 

I sorted out my ticket for the match this Saturday evening between the Demons and the Hawks.

Was fortunately a lot easier than last time.

The more Demons supporters who are able to attend this game at the MCG the better!

Nevertheless, I will make sure I try and wear a beanie this time, my ears got quite cold sitting where I was outside near the goals in the previous game against the Giants. ?

Nailed it!

I just got an email haha

12:35 my email came.

Either it's getting easier or the old bloke's finally following the instructions properly :) Took a very short time to get tickets and although not the exact seats I  pay for they are in the same bay so all good.

Got 3 tickets, trident reserved seat members. Instead of being near N52 Olympic Stand where we normally sit, they are N12 in Southern Stand. Tried to change them on ticketek site, but it wouldn't work for me. Don't know how that came to be, but still ok seats. No biggie.

Looking forward to when we can return to our old seats again.

Go Dees!

MFC wesbiste says general members tickets available from 4:15. 

So try to buy.

Ticketek says not valid until 5pm

All to get a single seat in the open. In a spot i don't want to sit.

You're in the Redlegs section (similar vantage point on the opposite flank) so the seats are fine.

Ticketek has been grouping Redlegs, Tridents and Legends as one category, and then as each bay is exhausted, you get shuffled to the next area. Now that's OK for Redlegs and Tridents,  but Legends really get shafted under this system, as they pay top $ for the very best seats in the ground (a few feet in front of the coaches box). 

Not sure what happened today because, unlike previously, I wasn't able to select a bay this week - all those seating areas, which are usually highlighted, came up as unavailable, even though i was on there at 1.01pm. 

Thankfully ended up near my normal seats but can't wait for this hassle to be over. 

Got a Hawk supporting mate coming with us this week, but he's already promised to sit quietly. To be honest, if I'd seen us win 74 premierships, I'd also be pretty chill. 

My brother in law always gets our tickets and we got them this morning, but what's the capacity allowance this week? Same as last week?

I thought it’s up to 40,000 now?

Who knows. It’s hard to keep up.

maybe your ticket(s) qualify for x number of guest passes

Turned out the additional barcodes did nothing and rendered the others useless. I went back to using the ones I'd been using all year and got my tickets that way.

It's not a stressful process but it's a pain for sure.

2 days of lies.

No wonder people aren't going to the footy.

Boooooooooooooo

I got sent 3 barcodes completely unrelated to my usual one.  Ignored these, used my normal one, all good.

No, I thought there had perhaps been a stuff up and i was sent someone else’s.  I have my barcodes saved in a word doc - just copy and paste into Ticketek each time I use them.  I got my result and just moved on….

Got my tickets this afternoon, all worked well.

I had my codes copied  in and went straight to Ticketek and sports  etc   went so much easier than the other week.

Better than average chance this is going to be a game without spectators.

yes either no one watching  or no game   bummer

I had the same thing, wondered if it was related to the few free tickets the club gives with some memberships? I didn't try and use them, just used the usual one

My email said that is what they were. R and B.

and if you try and use them with your reserved seat barcode it will show as invalid because the freebies are ga and can only be entered at a different time

so use only reserved seats at the proper time

later, at ga time you can try the freebies

at least that is what i'm surmising
