I’m just going by what another DA member said at 3:30 this arvo: that the MFC had just announced all GA tickets are gone. 

A link to theticketmerchant.com ( whoever that is ) is still offering GA tickets

    It looks like there's still plenty of GA at the top of the Ponsford and Northern stands

    Soz for misinformation. My fact-checker had the day off today. 😁

    Silly question, but how would interstate “armchair” members get finals tickets (legally)?

  • Quote

    Curiosity question and apologies if already addressed earlier.  I understand there are various levels of MFC membership and am aware amongst them that you can get ‘priority access’ for finals tickets and some of the higher tiered memberships  give guaranteed access to a GF ticket  (if we make it)


    Thinking  just a little ahead here. What happens if say  we play Collingwood in a earlier final?  We have around 65k members and I’m guessing they have 80k plus.  MCG capacity is say 100k and after say allowing say 50k seats allocated for MCC snd AFL members (I am just guessing these numbers) that leaves say 50k left for footy club members/ general public.  Even if only half the members from both clubs wanted to get a ticket 72k people would be chasing 50k seats.

    So the question is how would the ticketing system/ process work?  It would appear that you would either have to-

    a) be first in first served or 

    b) there would be some ballot system

    i have no idea how it all works. Does anyone know the answer?  Once again apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere.

    very rarely a sell out in the pre GF finals at the MCG

    Even though members have priority to buy tickets the substantial price sees many back off

    There's also the series ticket issue. If the only Melbourne PF was between Pies and another Melbourne based team a sell out might be possible

    Can I ask... when you guys say "general admission is sold out", does that just mean for non-members who are trying to buy a ticket to the game?

    Or would it also apply to those with general admission membership, like me?

    Given we have to wait till 7.50pm tonight before we can even get the mobile membership ticket, it'd be a bit annoying if regular punters who can already buy them online have taken all the seats.

    It's not sold out, there are still heaps of seats at the top of the Ponsford and the Northern Stands on Ticketek. But you are correct a GA membership entitles you to the same pool of tickets as the general public which puts you at a disadvantage if you have to wait for it to appear on the mobile app. I guess the other option is using your membership barcode to "purchase" a GA ticket through ticketek?

    Thanks Gonzo.  I'll give that a try next time.  Glad to hear I can still get a spot on Friday. Quite like sitting up there anyway!

    There should be a bit of GA available for walk up, but it will only be on the top level (Q). The GA allocation isn't revealed until the day before the game, since they're trying to sell as many seats as reserved at the higher margin. So you can take the punt on Friday with walk up GA seats, though I would get there an hour before to make sure you weren't at the back row. Alternatively, check if your membership barcode allows you to reserve a seat for $10, otherwise you'll have to reserve a seat for the higher price.

    I think level 4 at the G is easily the best place to see the structure of how we play. The amount of running Lingers, JJ and ANB do makes me breathless (but it might also be the altitude, beers, and sausage rolls).

    if you have a ga membership you can just rock up and then search for a seat in the ga areas

    alternatively you can upgrade a ga to a reserved seat using your barcode on ticketek(?) and spend some money

    and finally the afl could declare it a no-walkup game and you'd have to go online to get a ticket

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
