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.

    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

    “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

  • Quote

    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?

    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.

    Are they opening up the top level for this one or are all going to be crammed into the bottom level like last year.

    No crowd cap, will need top level open too

    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…

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
