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

There is a hiatus between 2 and 3 pm when Members sales ended and General Public opens.

    @dworshipThanks.

    That is weird.  Every time I clicked on an 'available' bay it didn't show what seats were available; it just sent me to some other bay in a whole different part of the ground.  Happened about 3 or 4 times.  FOMO set in and I gave up trying to get seats in what looked like 'available' bays and took what the computer generated.

    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. 

    Yes and I think we try to do packages to make a bit of extra. Associated with all this I understand the Grand Final winner gets a cheque from the AFL but do the other finalists?

    I discovered in last few years , the Afl reserve has interstate club local melbourne  members who pay top dollar and so get into afl reserve. This dilutes availability of tickets for normal afl members 

    If you wants a hint as to how diluted it actually is, it was once called the AFL Members Reserve and now is just the AFL Reserve.

    Every man and their dog are able to access the reserve if they are an interstate member.

    Richmond Premium members can access it too for away games...

    Then they gave P15-P20 to the Medallion club which are always empty.

    I understand that I can get Medallion Clubs in N19 which are incredible but woulkd rather have level 2 and 2A back with us members.

    My old Man been an AFL Member since it became a thing and he gets beyond pissy that we lost the best seats on 2A.

    It will be interesting to see what public seats become available. The hiatus is just weird, if there are member seats still available surely a Member should be able to purchase one even after 2pm.

    Question about todays sale. You could have clicked on Sydney member and got tickets after putting the barcode in. So if we had played the Pies would they have taken all our tickets as well.

    Maybe but we have bought out almost all of Sydney Level 1,2 and 2A allocation so there are a lot more Melbourne members who crawl out for finals

    Don't know for sure but I doubt it as it is our "Home game"

    Well, yeah exactly. That sounds like a pretty ugly truth.

    Its a good bay M50 right next to the MCC members and the benches.

     

    This is where we generally sit so I was stoked to get M50 again. 

     

    It's just always hard to know if what you are given is a Melbourne allocation, not that Swans supporters worry me, I just rather sit with my own kind 😆

    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.

    Exactly the same story for me as well. Not sure how many tickets have been allocated for walk up start.

    MCC far from smooth, at one point I was able to order a visitor pass but no reserved seat, then just a reserved seat, then allocation exhausted before rejoining the queue. Ended up in Q36 which has been taken over by the MCC for the night, Reserve will be chcokas.

    So I got distracted and logged in at midday and after looking at some pretty bad seats I gave up and just got what it assigned Level 2A, P7... I don't know the level, someone told me I'll need to go down to Level 1 to get Beer, is that right?

    If anyone is wanting better tickets or group of tickets, two of my family members miscommunicated and bought 6xtickets in twice when we only need six.  So six available in bottom level olympic stand forward pocket.  DM if interested, selling for face value of tickets, not scalping or anything like that.

    I've followed most of this thread. There's been some happy posts and some bloody sad posts.

    Overall though there has been far too much confusion and far too many problems. We are club members who pay up. We represent  reliable money in the bank for the club and the AFL.

    We deserve better treatment.

    Consider the facts.

    We have 60000 plus members, so lets allocate them 10 tickets each! Even my basic grasp of mathematics suggest that something is amiss with that equation!

    We have 2 major games coming up in 2 weeks ( two weeks away).  Well logically let's put the tickets for both on sale at the same time. FMD!

    Oh and for good measure, let's sell those tickets through an online system that seems designed to be as obtuse as possible.

    There are computer systems that can land and operate a dinky toy on Mars FFS!

    Surely the AFL could do just a little bit better?

    Once again Ticketek has proven to be useless.

    1. They allocate tickets by bay.  So the best seats in one bay are not available until the worst in the bay next door are sold.

    2. How many times do they have to stuff up to learn you cannot sell all the finals games on the one day at the same time?  Small wonder people cannot get on. The first game is 8 days away. 

    3. They have insufficient staff, so don't try to call them to fix up their mistakes.

    4. Any barcodes get a ticket, even if for opposing sides....wait until the Collingwood crowd find out and buy out all the tickets for their next game.

    4.  The problem is the MCC, not the MFC control who sells tickets.  They have contracted Ticketek.

    Marvel stadium owned by the AFL uses Ticketmaster, and buying tickets through them is a breeze.

    Got on at 10 couldn't get 5 cat 1 seats together - they kept on giving me rubbish seats. So just went what the hell and took what they served up... went to pay and then got ..... Oops something went wrong.... 

    Back to the end of the queue.... 30+minutes later gave up on 5 seats and took 3 together (stiff bickies for the 2 extra people I was trying to buy for) 

    Ended up in M56... could be worse I guess

    And to make matters worse, Collingwood supporters hog most of the AFL members reserve

    Going to be a nightmare getting tickets in the AFL members if we play them in a prelim.

    And if we do get tickets, it's going to be a nightmare sitting next to the ferals.

    Hopefully they go out in straight sets.

    That's my seating area during the H&A.

    IMO they are great seats , good view and no you don't need to go to level 1.

    MCC hardly a privilege in these corporate-deal days. Complete nose-bleeders in pocket after clicking for Level 1's for too long. How the Hell could Level 1 exhaust in 7 minutes? 

    Level Q is like a vacuum even when filled.

    Beats watching on tellie though.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
