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

  • 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.

    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…

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
