Gandalf, I was an armchair member too because we generally can never get to games. I rang the membership department and they suggested I upgrade to a 3 game membership. Difference was only $30 and that was the same amount I saved on my seat ($20 for me and $50 for my wife as a guest). All sorted within half an hour once I got through. Might be a good way to beat the rush on the morning. 

Thanks LFS, noted for the future.  Thankfully there were no hassles this morning at 10.05am.   I now have two tickets in Bay 49 and can't wait to get there :)

    I don't know exactly how the numbering works but we got cracking front seats in Q50

    Just booked my tickets for Round 3 vs Essendon.

    AFL reserve level 1, level 2, and most of level 4 is allocation exhausted.

    recommend booking your tickets for that asap. Could be the biggest crowd of the season up to that point of we both start undefeated.

    Mods @Demonland can we change this to a general tickets thread?

    If you have a GA membership or AFL Membership without a reserved seat I strongly suggest you book your Round 3 vs Essendon seats asap.

    AFL members has a few rows of tickets left on level 1 outside and level 4 front row but beyond that it's full. Four weeks out from the match itself. Could well be 70k+ if both teams start strongly.

    1 day. 9 hours and 42 minutes before I can get my seat. Just bring back the membership cards.

    Forgive me if previously mentioned.

    Is main the reason for the app bar code as opposed to a bar code on the old membership card for contact tracing, if that makes sense?

    Or is the AFL just trying to move ticketing onto smart phones for data?

    The latter!

    That is the bonus for them, but it creates a nightmare for people who don't have smart phones, disabled or just people trying to organise multiple tickets for family who have to set up individual accounts with Tickemaster/tek just to get the tickets and seats they have paid for. 

    BUT the other advantage is that if there is a revival of COVID restrictions, they can limit the numbers attending since they no longer have a ticket which entitles them to admission.

    Anyone else not seeing the barcode in the app?

    When I click on 'View Barcode' it goes to the next screen but it is blank.

    Trying not to panic...🥴

    It worked on mine. However when I screenshotted it it said it would not get me into the game so have to put it on google  pay. I think that is tihsllub.

    they've now got it so that, as an afl member, i can log into the 'afl membership' page that ticketmaster manages

    click on any of the games tho... "try again, something went wrong"

    Many Thanks.  Just tried it again and it worked.  Phew!

    The last part of your post is well beyond my phone technical capabilities...

    A silly question will a photocopy of the screen with the barcode work when scanned?

    Probably not. I think the best way is to just log into the app and use the one provided in the app. This is plain out silly I know. A screenshot is the same as the barcode provided so I can't see the difference.

    It did last year….it’s the only option for people without phones. Someone else has to print it out for them.

    Thanks, I photocopied the mobile phone screen showing the barcode.  Really just for backup, in case something goes wrong at the gate.

    So we're flying out of the mudhole that is northern NSW for the game. We're looking forward to taking a break after the last two weeks.

    We've got our barcodes for GA but no seat allocation by the looks.

    There's no way to book your seats by the looks. Just rock up and grab a set anywhere in GA. Is that how it works?

    I was wondering what happens if it's a sell out?

    Very unlikely to be sold out.  GA members can sit in any unreserved area (which is likely to be in the upper seats).  (Edit:  for the GA unreserved areas not in the rafters see @FearTheBeard's post a few down from this one).

     

    GA members can upgrade and get a reserved seat via ticketek for a small fee $11 to $21 depending on area. 

    image.thumb.png.33fed2f563a799dbb8bf50fcbf696c54.png

    This can be done via Ticketek website or the mfc app.

    Tip 1:  Ticketek will ask for a membership barcode number(s) which can be found in the 'Ticket Details' section of your mfc app.

    Tip 2:  Ticketek has a time limit before shutting you out so have all the info ready before starting.

    … or you can do as I did and totally balls things up for a not so small fee of $63.45. 😑

    iirc you wanted a ticket rather than an 'upgrade, to be on the safe side. 

    Maybe my comms weren't very clear..🤔

    Hopefully, the above post can give you peace of mind and save you a few dollars for future very popular games.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
