2022 Tickets Thread

@ElDiablo14

Re your QB ticket question in the 'Fixture' thread.  Yes, the QB game is a replacement for the Alice game.  Yes you can walk up to the G and get in as a GA entry.

The club sent an email to members on Monday which said:

If you’d like to reserve your seat for a discounted price, you can enter your barcode into the box provided on Ticketek to upgrade. You can also purchase guest tickets and access up to 10 tickets in one transaction.   Round 12-15 ticket on sale details below. Members - Tuesday 17th May 2:00pm General Public - Wednesday 18th May 11:00am   YOUR BARCODE(S) ...................................... Alternatively, simply scan your membership card like you would at any home game and you will be granted general admission access subject to availability.

Thanks for the help!

I understand we can just rock up on the day to the G, however I am not so clear on the "scan membership".

Does it mean that I should see my GA tickets in my mobile membership? 

Now that we no longer use the physical card we can't truly just scan and walk-in.

Yes, not sure what the email means by 'scan' the membership card.

The GA tickets for the QB game are already on the mobile membership.  There is no bardcode with them.  Not sure if GA membership tickets have barcodes on the mobile app.  Best to call the club to check the finer details

Strange question, but I’d love some help. I’ve got 2 memberships, but I’m taking 5 other people to the footy on Saturday and I’d love to buy reserve seats undercover for everyone because the age group ranges from 8 to 70. Any idea how I do this? When I look on the ticketek site the seats are all garbage. Will more become available?

[praha 10,283]

Totally forgot about tickets for QB. Reserved 5 seats in AFL Members, level 4 at the front. Aisle seat as well. Seems only tickets left are Level 1 Open and Level 4 Front. Suspect they'll sell Level 4 back if more tickets reserved. Should be a bumper crowd.

Ticketek is showing seats available in ground level bays:  M53, M54, M4 and M12 in the Olynpic and Shane Warne stands.  (See diagram below).   The 'drip line for ground level bays in both stands is Row Y and the last row is NN so any seats between these rows should be fine, altho I suspect Rows Z to AA might get a bit wet.

I think the Melbourne Cheer Squad is in Bay M4.  @WalkingCivilWarmay confirm.

To find them go to https://hotshow4.ticketek.com.au/events/MELBO1122/venues/MCG/performances/EMMB0000022F/tickets.

and click on 'Find Public Tickets' and you will see this page.

Then click on the bay you want, the available ones are coloured.

This takes you to the page to select the number of tickets in each category.  The system selects tickets for you and you will see this:

 

You can change the seats in that bay by selecting from the layout on the left of the page.  Note, I put in hypothetical ticket quantities to show how the system works.

Not sure how you upgrade the memberships though and get all the seats together.

Good luck!

We sit in Bay M3. First how ever many rows. But Dees supporters generally sit beside and behind the cheer squad with the odd oppo supporter who clearly doesn’t have an issue with being drowned out by our unending noise. 😁

Thanks for this info. I guess I’m some what confused as to why there will only be 35k max at the footy on Saturday and I can’t buy any tickets undercover. The AFL want me shell out $350 for these reserved tickets - but if I got GA tickets and gave them $150 I could just walk up and sit somewhere dry and not get wet. It seems ludicrous. I guess that’s what I’ll do.

Money raising by the Venues.

It looks it will be dry weather so it should work out ok. 

By the way, your 2 club memberships give you GA entry at no cost so they don't need tickets.

If you haven't already bought the tickets check the mobile apps for the two memberships.  I have received some extra GA tickets in the app for this weeks game.

M5-M10, M29-M36 and M55-M57 will all be GA and you could just get there a little early and sit in the undercover seats, rows AA-Back

Does anyone know if a home game membership with reserved seat and gfg includes any free guest tickets (junior or otherwise)?

(grand kids want bring along a friend)

GA tickets just turn up in my MFC Mobile App.  Listed as a separate item to my usual ticket.  Each ticket then has its own barcode.

Not sure if they are the same as guest tickets you are asking about.

It seems to be just when we play interstate teams and they don't expect much of a crowd.

If anyone needs a barcode let me know

A reminder to those who are reserving seats for Queens Birthday that the cheersquad will be at Punt road end in M3.

Can still reserve behind the goals in M4 and a couple tickets left in M2 and in M56/M57

Collingwood home game reserved tickets are considerably cheaper than at our home games.

My dad and I are trying to book tickets together on separate memberships at the reduced price, does anyone know how to do this? When I put my code in I can get my single allocated reduced ticket but I can only get the one, how do I get them both at the reduced $8 price? 

Also anyone know if this is going to put us automatically into a Melbourne area?

Serlect adult club members X 2 from drop down menu.

Enter your membership barcodes into the box provided but one below the other, don't use commas etc. i.e. on  new line

If you haven't already, I'd recommend not reserving and instead going general admission for tomorrow. Looking at the seats available to be reserved, the best you can get is Q55 row AA (top level Olympic stand, 26th row back). A considerably better seat will be available in GA. Q1-Q6 are all available for walk up in the Shane Warne/Great Southern Stand. It's top level, but the whole of the bays are available so if you get there early enough (close to the 12:30 gates opening) you will be able to get a seat in the first few rows of the top level, which is a far closer view than the Q55 row AA option. There's no Melbourne area as such given it is an away game (apart from the Demon Army in M3), but at least if you go Q1-6 you'll be directly above the cheer squad, and there'll be far more Melbourne representation at the Punt Road end. The Pies own the City end (Ponsford stand).

Cheers for this advice, I’m coming straight from work so reserving a GA seat would be tricky. We’ve decided to go for the reserved seats, I like being on that wing near the MCC as well. Hopefully there won’t be too many insane pies fans around us! 😬

Haha yeah fair enough. That's the downside of GA, it requires a big time commitment to get the best seats in it. Hopefully not too bad up there!

I have a barcode for tomorrow if anyone needs one

If anyone wants the link and code to access the melbourne allocation bays in geelong dm me.

Wanting to go to the Cats v Dees game on 7 July - so keen to see the Dees win down there with my own eyes, I tried in vain to buy a ticket on Ticketmaster. The site said none available. Ticketmaster really do make it difficult to purchase tickets...

I rang the MFC and they were super helpful. They gave me a link and a code word. The link took me straight where I needed to enter the codeword and boom - $63 later and I've got a ticket. 

Can't wait.

its dreadful customer service again imo by the club.

I got the link coz i called them a week ago because i know there are two bays for us.

But the bays are still barely 20% sold because the club hasn't told anyone.

Ive received about 15 responses from people so far who didnt know how to get tickets.
