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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
