Can someone tell me if P10 is a good bay. I have never sat this side of the ground before 

Looks to level 2A, just about on the 50 metre arc.

Well that's good easy to get in and out of. What Row?

Maybe the club decided on the 10 ticket option after reading the DL thread with the myriad of reasons why it's not practical or convenient for members to go to Friday night games.

Click on the available bay that you are interested in and you will be presented with seats in that area equal to how many seats you request (where possible). Ticketmaster gives you a seating map of each bay. Ticketek does not, you just get what you're given. If you want better seats in the same area you have to start again and see what comes up. Unfortunately the more you do this the more seats are locked for a period of time. What can I say it's a shizen system.

In a Prelim or GF scenario you just take what you get first up in category 1 or what have you, to much of a risk going in the queue again.

It's gut wrenching waiting in the queue.

I have my reserved seats on P7, I love my seats!. Only complaint are the ferals on the corporate boxes behind us (some not all games)

And Ticketek have just made a liar out of me. I just did a mock selection again and a seating map came up. That definitely didn't come up this morning.

I think if you couldn’t get thru earlier keep trying. There’s no chance there are no decent seats left. I think their website gets overwhelmed and goes into meltdown. 
 

I couldn't get anything out of the PC. Had to do the double pronged approach with my mate who ended up getting them but he was on an a job outside with an ipad leaning up against a wall and a phone up against  a tree. Definitely wasn't any quicker though. 

Do we get a portion of the gate at finals? Particularly home finals...

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.

Hey mate did you get tickets in the end?

Yep that's not bad. Pretty good view as Bombay said, opposite the 50m arc. Punt road end also equals the cheer squad end and just above the Premium Members area. You should be able to hear me from there.

The map appears on Ticketek but while it allows you to click on a bay when the actual tickets come up they are somewhere else completely.

Were you able to get tickets allocated in the bay you selected on the map?

I've never known how gate receipts work in finals. I'd like to think we do but it all becomes a blur when we get to this point.

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. 

It wasn't in Perth last year, so I would say be prepared.  also what I found out last year is that they open the queue really early,  The PF tickets queue opened 30 minutes before the official ticket time, GF was the same, but 1 hour before hand. 

Had no luck this morning. Now it's No Longer On Sale. 

Just have to try the General Public sale later today.

Did anyone have trouble with getting MCC seats. I was in around 9.10 and couldnt get three tickets for level 2, tried level 1 not enough tickets. Ended up in Q nosebleed territory for the first time ever. Went back in and only seats left are in Q and walk up. MCC is going to be rocking Friday night.

Is it though? The MCC may have shot itself in the foot. Hear me out.... A lot of members have reserved seats, like me. However, I am a Full-Member and plan to get in early and find a seat on Level 2, as a walk-up. I have reserved the seat in case there is no allocation for walk-ups left on Friday when I arrive. Sorry if it seems selfish, but that is the new nature of the MCC arrangements. Ideally, I would have a reserved seat and hand that back if I get into Level 2, however; there is nothing in place to facilitate this. I dare say I am not the only one reserving a seat and planning to also check out what walk up is available.

Good point, need to be mindful of that. I'm declaring war on these sneaky Ticketek nitwits. 

Ticketek is hopeless it's been saying l'm in the queue but it just keeps saying wait another 10 seconds. Too many people of different club all at once is dumb by the AFL

No, not that I'm aware of.

Now a message pops up no longer on sale. Eff the AFL.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the AFL just tells clubs that Home and Away is their time to shine and make money and the finals is theirs. 

Members sale stopped at 2pm.  Gen Public starts at 3pm
