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: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • 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?
