TICKETING: GF vs Bulldogs

This year I paid extra on top of my membership for the grand final guarantee option to purchase a ticket. Obviously being a Victorian I won't be able to attend if it's in Perth.

Does anyone know if I'd still be able to purchase a ticket if the game is in Perth so then I can give it to my mate who lives in WA so they can go?

    Wondering the same, plenty of "freinds" in WA

    Not sure about MFC membership but if you transfer your AFL membership ticket to someone you’ll likely have your membership torn up or at the very least be downgraded from full to restricted.

    I suspect the answer will be yes to your question given that the club will desperately want MFC supporters to attend the grand final this year when we make it.

    I have booked a hotel in Perth to quarantine. Not sure of logistics beyond this, but as a MFC/MCC Premium Member I get a guaranteed GF Ticket. I  intend to use it.....  even if I am stuck in a hotel for one week or even two.  Who is joining me?

    The cost and inconvenience of doing that has ruled me out. How much did the hotel cost you for the quarantine period?

    They the Club  don't make those rules and couldn't I suspect just change a ticket OR a GFGuarantee for transfer.

    I have  GF Guarantee and havent given up yet on attending if WA Govt makes decisions on Qld border arrangements.

    Well done on the commitment.

    Was it hard to get the G2G pass? The below website says only those with special circumstances can get in to WA and then quarantine for 14 days. This is reference to medium risk states such as VIC.

    Thought about it more than once lately. Its just seems a bridge too far.

    I think WA will open the border to QLD once they go 28 days without community transmission.

    I think you’re every chance.

    At the moment you can at the very least do 14 days quarantine. VICs won’t even be afforded that luxury unless they have a special reason to enter the state.

    I honestly don’t think you can even if you were willing to commit.

    I could be wrong but it looks as though people from medium risk states such as VIC must receive special permission just to enter the state prior to their 14 days quarantine.

    Victoria won’t be downgraded to low risk by 11 September.

    I just applied for it myself out of curiousity a couple of hours ago (live in Melbourne) and didn't get the approval myself:

    .. Personally I've thankfully moved to the acceptance / glass-half-full phase pretty quickly that it's watching it on the tele from here on in for me (for reference, on the hotel price question, I'd had a look and saw you can get half-decent 2 week one bedroom Perth CBD hotel stays for $1500 or so). Go dees.

    I think you're on the money BBP. Just a few too many hoops to jump through.

    I would go and quarantine but we won’t get exemption to even enter the state to quarantine. That’s the issue.

    I’m in Sydney so I don’t think I’ll be going anywhere this side of Christmas. That aside, there’s absolutely no way I could afford a hotel for however long the quarantine period is, plus airfares for two to Perth.

    Excellent question.

    I would happily give my ticket to someone in Perth provided they sign a stat dec that they will cheer for the Dees and put thier excellent booing skills to use to our benefit.

    I live in Perth and if we make it will be at the game as I have gf guarantee. We had flights and accommodation booked for Melbourne but alas not this year. 

    I will be cheering very loudly…extra loud for all of you who cannot be there. I’m also hoping that potentially the AFL opens it to MFC members who do not have gf guarantee so our two daughters can come along.

    Go Dees! I’m feeling so proud today

    Might it be easier to apply to get into SA stay there for 14 days then cross the border? (with all the Port fans)

    They may not be as strict.

    I think if its possible to give your grand final guarantee to somebody else then as many of these as possible should be given to people in Perth who are able to attend the game.

    We need as many as Dees as humanly possible to attend.

    (but im also getting ahead of myself)...

    On a side note I think that in lieu of making use of the Guaranteed Grand Final ticket the club should allow all holders of such tickets to get a photo with the premiership cup at some point.

    But I'm getting ahead of myself ...

    I agree - I've had the GFG for as long as I can remember, probably 15 years, including the Neeld years.  I hope if we do win the flag this year there is some sort of exclusive event for those us in that position.

    Hmm, interesting. Have just checked. If I'm reading it right it doesn't look to be the case though. Seems you must be an "essential traveller" and while you can get an exception for this it's for things like urgent medical treatment and what not.

    I don't see why the WA government can't allow some sort of FIFO arrangement for VIC based fans like the UK did for itallians in the euro 2020 final. Test before the game, negative, fly in shuttle to the ground fly out no contact with the public barring those in the stadium.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
