Well after three attempts I could only get a ticket in the nose bleed section so it will be a TV event for me.

Try the Premium section. seats come up that don't in the other sections.

If people want 10 tickets for one membership they should have to wait until the 'General Public' allocation opens.

In the morning it should be members only!!  I only wanted a ticket for 2 Redlegs members which eventually I did get but no where near where I would have liked.  Very annoying if they have gone to non-members.

God help us if we meet Coll or Rich in a final.  If that happens I'll get up with the birds and walk to the local Newsagent who is also a Ticketek outlet.

My mate, also a premium member, used his barcode to buy 6 good tickets - 4 non members. No fault on him of course.

I put this on the club..

Paying members must get better treatment.

I am a 34 year member, sat in the rain, sat and watched us get beat by 186 points at geelong, didnt leave early, Tried to buy 2 tickets today with 2 membership cards, not 10. after 1 hour of watching a blue line  cross the screen we got through only to be locked out on the next screen.

Rang the club, SORRY SIR was the reply WE DONT HAVE ANY SAY WITH TICKTEK.  I am a member of the MFC not ticktek. So its goodbye 34 years of attending as a member and the thousands of dollars we spent, as a blue collar worker some years we couldnt really afford the money but we did.

So goodbye.

That's an ordinary response from the club.

They should be backing you and saying it's not good enough and that they will be demanding the AFL and Ticketeck fix these problems.

Not good enough.

Members that support teams and the competition through thick and thin deserve to be looked after.

F you AFL and Ticket Toss.

that's bad, and so wrong.

why not try once more and select as a swans member........would hate to see you miss out

then there's always to general public seats later in the week but they'll be tough 

For anyone struggling with getting tickets in Melbourne allocation.

The reason everything becomes unavailable is because they are loading more bays into the system for sale.

E.g., half of Sydneys bays in the Southern Stand M8-10 have become available for Melbourne members and more bays on level 4 Northern stand have gone on sale.

Be patient, everyone will get tickets for this game.

just chose swans members section 

thanks Balls,

I just chose wans members section got 8 seats together with my whole family who have had reserved seats for 20+ years. happy to sit anywhere.

Try Swans members it works. What a ridiculous system

Let's flood the ground with MFC members.

To be honest, we should have been allocated 90% of the members tickets anyway.

Surely the 10 ticket limit will be restricted come PF week? If we're playing someone like the Pies then it really should be 1 ticket per 1 membership.

Agree.  It is not the members fault at all.  Good luck to your mate as that is what the rules allow.

The club/AFL could have a smaller non-member allowance like the 2018 Geelong game.  I would feel ok if it was just one or two extras but 10 is ridiculous.  Let the non-members wait till the 'General Allocation' opens in a few hours.

We should email the club and let them know our discontent.  The folks in membership work hard and don't set the rules so I will play nice in the wording.  But I'm Not Happy, Jan!!

The problem is that for the onsale 50% of tickets go to Sydney so their cat 1 seats wont be full and then when they go on sale to public at 3pm youd be able to get them 

After entering the MFC barcode it then prompts you to say whether you’re a Melbourne or Sydney member. You can actually click Sydney and all of a sudden you get access to far more and better seats that haven’t been taken, and buy them. Only issue is you’ll be stuck sitting with Sydney supporters (could be a lot worse of course).

I tried swans and got tickets M15-1 row kk. Is that right up the back? I cannot tell from the map but kk makes me think it is way back?

Why not load them from the start, rather than create all the stress and anxiety.  Not rocket science MFC members would want more tickets - and it's our home game.  We earnt it, we should be entitled to more from the get go.

Edited by Rodney (Balls) Grinter

Well after the stress of ticketek this morning I'm now pumped for the game. Now to tell work I won't be coming in...

Why are they making us scrap for tickets when there will likely be only 65K at the match?

and $82 for a seat? GAGF!

I just bought some Cat 5 swans members seats ($35) just to get in the ground. ill sit wherever or stand

undercover could come in handy though!

Also somewhat annoying if you've already purchased tickets in a less desirable area only to have better seats become available later on.

Yep second last row.

It is toward the back but you will be under cover (the 'drip line' is Row Y) and protected from the wind.  Far better than the exposed P and Q.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
