Bleeding red n blue from the NSW Far South Coast.  Super keen to be at the G for Round 1....  I've got accommodation booked and there's plenty of flights available from Canberra.  Only concern is there's nothing on the internet as to when the AFL will be releasing tickets (or how many the Vic Govt are looking to allow at this point in time)  Was curious if Dees supporters in Melbourne have heard anything given the game is under five weeks away?

At this stage it looks like it’ll be 100% capacity. That’s provided there’s no drastic change in circumstances re omicron. Fingers crossed!  

I can't imagine tickets will go on sale any earlier than Monday 7 March.

May even be as late as Monday 14 March.

Gosh, I hope you're wrong (but it makes sense though).  Fingers crossed they can do it a bit earlier...

Also keen to upgrade to a reserved seat for this.

Thought I would bump this thread and see if there was anymore news locally about ticket sales? I am looking to come down for my second ever game at the MCG for the flag unfurling. My other game was the 2018 final v Hawthorn so ticketing was a lot easier back then.

I would also like to ask some advice from anyone willing to give it about areas of the ground that are usually mostly Melbourne supporters. Also is it actually a 6pm start Mebourne time is that just my computer messing with my QLD location?

The last question I have is where is a good place for a prematch drink with like minded Dees supporters. We will be staying on the CBD and walking to the ground. In Brisbane it's the Pineapple hotel for us.

Any advice would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Yeah similar boat for us in northern NSW. Going to do the road trip down for round one. As long term interstate members, we're keen to get good seats etc.

Sorry, can't help with the ticket sales stuff but the Melbourne time kick off is 710pm, no doubt a bit of ceremony prior due to the unfurling of the flag. A lot of the Dee Army meet at the London Tavern in Richmond before games. We sometimes catch up with a few people there depending where we are staying. We also frequent the Transport Bar or the Arbory (jammed between the Yarra and Flinders St Station). Both are easy walking to the Gee. The Arbory does a fabulous Lobster Roll and other tasty fare and good selection of beers and cocktails. Yes that's where we will set off from.

Oh and yes we have been to the Pineapple and like the German Club also!

Thanks Dw, I'll look those up. The Arbory sounds good with some good food and a nice wine before the walk 🙂.

AFL tickets will go on sale to club members on March 1 and the general public on March 2, ahead of the season opener on March 16.

In another win for footy starved Victorians forced to watch their team on TV during successive lockdowns, ticket box offices closed due to the pandemic will reopen at stadiums for the first time in two years, allowing fans to buy tickets on the day.

Members will be allowed to return to reserved seats and fans previously restricted to zones separate zones will be allowed to meet at bars around the ground.

Tickets on sale tomorrow, though I’m still confused around process for members and can’t find specific info on any websites.

- Do GA members need to ‘purchase’ a ticket? 
- Is there a limit to number of tickets per transaction? (Ie; 6 or 10) 

- Or can we just rock up, scan in and find a seat like the good old days? 
 

If anyone has any answers I’d be eternally grateful, for a while!

Heard a whisper of a well known performer that might be singing at the game.

Can't say who just yet. I'll hopefully get it confirmed closer to the game....

Club members and Public release go on sale at Ticketek at 2.00pm tomorrow Tuesday 1st March.

Mcc and AFL members are on sale same day from 9.00am

There are limits on guest tcikets, obviously 1 ticket per member bar code.

The entire MCG will be fully ticketed. No Ticket, can't get in.  i.e no walk ups for this match as per MCC Ticketing info, even if not a sell out.

spelling mistakes

Club has sent an email with member access info for Round 1. 

Flying over for this. Dogs will want revenge. Should be a cracking game!

Just wondering which end of the ground will the demon army be sitting @? 

Thank god we no longer need to buy tickets if we have a membership and we can sit in our reserved seats. Bring on 2022!

I belt out a good version of it’s a grand old flag at the end of the game. Hopefully that’s not letting the cat out of the bag.

Heard the same rumour. Can’t see it happening given how big the name is but you never know

Email from the club said members don’t need to buy a ticket via Ticketek, just scan your membership. Which is great. ‘Tickets’ made available via the app 72hrs before the game

Thanks, I was going to ask the same thing. Only been to the G once before for a final in 2018, just took what I could get then. I'm sure Marty would agree, any other advice would be appreciated.
