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.

To clarify the last sentence:  that may be the case for MCC members but not for the general seating area. 

Walk up tickets will be available for all games this year at all venues, if the game isn't sold out.

 

So @Deemented Are Go!you can get tickets at the gate 'like the good old days' but for big games you may find tickets are sold out beforehand.

    It seems we will need to sign in with QR codes, not for contact tracing but to show proof of vaccination; see the bottom half of this article

    why-qr-codes-are-still-needed-to-go-to-the-footy

    Essentially:

    “You still have to be vaccinated to go to the footy. Your QR code, you show your phone, and you demonstrate you’re vaccinated. It’s the same in restaurants, it’s the same in pubs, but it’s no longer the case in places like supermarkets or other retail settings because you don’t have to be vaccinated to go into them.”

    ...People without smartphones can show a paper copy".

    So anyone who is not vaccinated will not get in.

    So they're going to check everyones vaccination status as they enter, don't think so, would take hours

    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....

    “A well known singer”.  We have had a few of those in the past. Does not fill me with confidence. Looking on the bright side, a few well known singers have met their maker over the last few years. Basically it means it could be anyone from 15 to 80 with or without talent.

    They managed to get everyone to QR in last year, and they manage to check everyones bags and metal detect everyone. It will definitely cause a big slowdown at peak hour but given it's fully ticketed people can arrive earlier

    Security staff don’t check the vaccination certificates properly. And you don’t need to QR to have that on your phone. Keep a copy in your Apple wallet.. 

    And the metal detectors are not turned on, and never were. Keys, umbrellas all pass through without a beep. Doesn’t happen at prisons, airports or courts.

    If you go to SCG , Adelaide and GC none of this is done at all. How lucky we are in Melbourne?

    Didn't see the email about tickets and only realised cos of this thread . still managed to get one in my preferred area in the MCC.

    Had to download the 2022 Footy MCC Guide to clarify a few things, how's the superstar on the front cover of this one

    You’re only required to scan the QR code. You don’t need to show proof of double-vax. So yeah, it will take longer than it should, but no longer than it already is, and has been for 18 months or from whenever QR codes were introduced.

    Does Victoria have its own QR code sign I'm app and can you link it to Medicare for the Vax proof. I assume sign in and proof is still required for bars and restaurants and the QLD app won't suffice down there. Wow, haven't left the state for so long now!!

    Service Victoria is the app you'll need.

    Umm you might want to check that, pretty sure vaccination is an ongoing requirement for events. The staff should absolutely be looking for a green tick that indicates either vaccinated or valid medical exemption.

    I’m just citing the Vic. Health Minister. 
    The way I see it, if we have to show our digital vax certificate (the green tick) then for what purpose would scanning the QR code be? It’s no longer for contact tracing. 

  • Quote

    4 tickets under cover, level 1, right on the wing. AFL Members. 

    All surrounding seats bar a few were unavailable. All Open seats were unavailable. Got lucky I guess but seems to be filling quickly

    why do I have to pay for a seat in the AFL reserve if they are not allowing walk ups.

    $9.90 per ticket plus a service fee of $3.25

    Moreover they appear to be releasing tickets  en bloc the old way thus forcing everyone together.

    The AFL Reserve will be about 60% full on the night

    Scanning the QR code these days is only useful as a way of authenticating that the subsequent green tick you’re displaying is legit. The app shows the tick and lists the location. It’s going through that process that authenticates you’re showing something legit.

    They may well let you just show the green tick on your phone without QR coding if they are feeling lax. But one way or another I’m guessing they’ll be trained to see green ticks and be fairly stringent early in the season.

    It's always been like that for ticketed events.

    Expected crowds of I think 60k are ticketed.

    I'm updating my membership as we speak, are there any decent seats left for R1? or are they all gone? I'm an interstate member coming down for round 1 with the old man.

    Does anyone know where you can find your barcode? At the bottom of the article posted by the club it said if you wanted to upgrade your seat enter your membership barcode on ticketek. I tried using the one they sent me for last year but it didn’t work and I haven’t seen a new one sent to me yet for this year…

    • REPORT: 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.
