  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

I've yet to receive the email but in talking with the club they mentioned the tickets need to be bought in the name of the person attending not in the name of the member.

Could folks check their email to see if there is any info on this. 

Thanks.

But if you're buying multiple tickets per membership how would they know?

Glad people are happy to help out - only thing I would say is beware of new Demonland members requesting tickets as they may be looking to scalp tickets in Perth. I know similar things have happened in the past so you may want to take someone on their word and take the chance or you may be more considered in who you're helping out.

An understandable and sensible post - admittedly not a great look for brand new posters to be asking but personally i legit only found this forum this morning and didn't know it existed.

Just a fan looking to go cheer on the team (accompanied by some eagles fans unfortunately but cant be helped).

Hi, I am going to throw my hat in the ring.  Life-long demons supporter and a lurker here.    

I live in Perth and I think have this Friday’s tickets sorted but hoping to purchase a grand final ticket if they win (no interest if they don’t win, will be sulking). 

So if anyone has a GF guarantee they can’t use would be very grateful, thanks.

I was a reader of the DL but think this time of year and the excitement/anticipation and fear of "how do I get tickets" causes people to sign up.

Ie. My profile was created on September 18, 2018  -  So i apologise for jinxing us that year aha

I've now received the email,.  

My earlier post isn't relevant given that each bar code holder can buy 8 tickets.

This is my first post on this forum in years. Bought a grand final guarantee this year, but am Melbourne based so won’t be able to go.
 

Just spoke to the membership line regarding whether it would be a refund or whether we can pass the barcode on to someone else. The membership lady said we can pass the barcode on to someone else… has anyone heard if they’ll offer refunds?
 

Would be happy to pass the barcode on to someone who can go, but will want to recoup the ~$230 or so I spent on the grand final guarantee…

Please see below the information I have been provided regarding the grand final guarantees.

 You will only be entitled to a refund if restrictions in your LGA restrict you from doing so.

 Due to the uncertainty around the location of this seasons’ Grand Final, we’d like to reiterate some restrictions of the Grand Final Guarantee product.

  • If Melbourne are not a competing team in the Grand Final, the grand final guarantee product is non-refundable.
  • If the Grand Final is played outside of Victoria under no COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, providing Melbourne are a competing team you are not eligible for a refund.
  • If COVID-19 restrictions impede your ability to attend the Grand Final and Melbourne is a participating team, you are entitled to a refund of the Grand Final Guarantee product.

 If you have any further questions, please let us know.”

Thanks - thought I’d seen that somewhere but wasn’t able to find it searching through the forums.

Have had a couple of posters reach out and the ticket is now spoken for providing we make it.

Go dees.

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.

 

way too rational and logical a situation for any government currently in power in this country.

I think everyone should be a bit wary of the folks posting here. Lots of 'longtime demon fans' that have signed up for demonland this week.

 

WA are rushing through scalping laws for the gf. You'd hate for someone breaking the law by scalping a ticket to be traced back to your membership.

Exactly, if someone new on this page is requesting, i'd refrain. Easy to see based on the amount of posts. People can try their luck on the Facebook supporters group where they aren't as de-identified.

First time poster but long time Deez fan in Perth! I’ve got an interstate membership and used it today to secure my PF tickets. It’s now a sell out so very, very happy.
 

However I don’t have a GF guarantee so would be very keen for any help if/when we win on Friday night. Can show proof of my club membership if it helps!

I have just seen this OP. I’m in Sydney so can’t go.  I also spoke to membership dept last week and was told I can either get a refund for my $150 GF Guarantee or can pass it on to someone in Perth. If we make it I’ll be passing on to a family member. If people are thinking of pursuing the refund I encourage you to try and find someone who will pay you the $150 for your GF Guarantee. That way the Club keep the $150 and the team get extra supporters there.

Hello everybody, first time poster, but I'm a massive fan of Aussie rules and especially the Melbourne Demons team.  

I'd really like to go to the play-offs this weekend if you can lend me a membership.

I promise to cheer loudly and make sure the ref doesn't cheat for Geelong Cats. 

Go Melbourne Demons AFL !!

Beware.  At least one of those websites is an on-seller of tickets.  Victoria has laws against on-selling of GF tickets but not all states do.

The 'Tell':  I will be barracking for whoever sells me the barcodes

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
