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.

    Wednesday night is going to be a disaster trying to get in. Expect huge queues of older people/people without phone/disabled folks having lots of issues

    there will be around 20K to see the flag unfurled at this rate

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
