A lot of MCC members would have reserved a seat on level 4 to make sure they get a ticket just in case but they'll walk down to sit on level 1 or 2 on the night.

Yep i'm going by myself, Reserved on level 4 to gain entry/worst case scenario, but will be watching from one of the little terraces.

    I thought that too! Walk up is only 1-2 and 3 no?

    What row in M4 are your seats?

    @Wodjathefirst

    Row H.  (8 rows back?) Allegedly I’ve been told I could easily pass off for looking like a Collingwood supporter 

    Other accusations (far less offensive) is I have been asked a few time ‘are you Max Gawn’s  dad?)

    Look for a tallish old bugger that is bald and has a grey (white) longish  beard

    I will definitely look out for a ‘tallish old bugger that is bald and has a grey (white) longish beard’ but it might be difficult to find you since that doesn’t really narrow the field down much. Every second bloke at the footy fits that description! 😆

    I’m better looking and more modest than every second bloke- which I guess makes me very average-  Seat 15

    I’ll pop over to say hello! I’d invite you to come say hello in my bay but I can’t guarantee your safety: there’s a lot going on in the first few rows of the cheer squad… A LOT! It’s bedlam. Flagpoles being waved around indiscriminately, giant heads aplenty and don’t even get me started on the floggers!

    The cheer squad is always in Bay M3. So you’re safe. 😄 But good luck with remaining sedate! 

    I usually sit there, saying little, just riding the bumps, with a grin.    But my darling who did not follow a football side absolutely loves the theatre of a game, so she says what I am thinking, that way I still have some sort of voice left.   Go Dees

    Now I know why Melb has  had such a spreadeagled MCC seating membership all season on the upper levels. 

    This is called DOUBLE DIPPING and the MCC should be calling this out if any member is discovered doing this on Match day and penalising members who practice this selfishness. Ultimately leads to when the seats are needed to some members missing out or their families being penalised. 

    Hopefully Covid style ticketing can also be discontinued and the previous systems reintroduced which hopefully are honest and not capable of being defrauded.

    I am simply going to stand by myself behind the seats on level 1.

    Usually I just rock up without reserving a seat but this is a final and I was concerned it may reach capacity.

    It's the MCCs fault, they should just open up all seats to reserved seating, that way people could reserve the seats they actually want without going through the charade.

    If anyone has a ticket they’d like to sell, please let me know.

    There's still tickets available in GA. Albeit level 4 at the back.

    Just did a test and seems ticket allocation is slowly but surely filling up.

    You'd certainly hope for a crowd of at least 70k.

    Sydney has a sizeable Melbourne supporter base which last I heard was around 15k Melbourne-based members. Throw in around 10k supporters coming from Sydney, and then hopefully 35k-40k (at least) Melbourne supporters and members, and then neutrals, plus corporates... 70k not outside the realm of possibility at all. 60k+ a bonus but anything below that would be a huge disappointment.

    Thanks.  Yes, just checked.  Too far up for me 🙁 Maybe someone will have a spare ticket closer to the action before game day.

    Do you know which rows of level 4 are walk up? 

    I'm an MCC but booked reserved seats. Got straight in just after 9 am and the best I got for three seats was row Q which is a fair way back. 

    Strangely or not its the front rows Row A up to about Row S right across Level 4..  Booked Level 4 seats are all 'up the back'.

    Terrible.

    That's not what the Ticketek map shows. It shows the shaded areas for booking on the ground map and they're all up the back. I got connected in 10 minutes and got Row S.  Should have got Rows A, B, C etc. if your theory was correct.

    But then again the Ticketek system is a disgrace so who knows.

    What I know for certain because I tested it with someone else during the booking turmoil, is that whn the site says"  your in a queue so don't refersh or you'll lose your spot..."  this is NOT true,.

    There is no queue.  You just get connected on luck.  I saw this with my own eyes.  I was looged on and waiting for ever, a friend sitting next to me logged on - got connected in 2 minutes - I'm still waiting.

    Yeh, I was under the assumption that Level 4 was entirely ticketed. Thought it had been all year? 

    And explains why my seats were row Q even though I was on ticketek before 9 am. 

    Weird.

    When I was on, the green shaded area was for all the bays rows A-MM, except Q47 and Q48 because rows A-H are dry bays and are sold separately so that is what you may have seen?

    This is per the MCC website for our game:

    "A dedicated amount of walk up seating will be available on Levels 1, 2 and 3 the Members’ Reserve.

    Reserved seats will be sold on demand. Any unsold seats will become additional walk -up areas. To view the Members’ Reserve seating map, please click here."

    No mention of level 4 and the reserved seating map expects level 4 to all be reserved seating.

    They used to have half of level 4 as walk top but that was from rows Z-MM not the other way round which would just be stupid.

    We will see next Thursday when they post their walk up areas but I suspect you are wrong.

    Well done - your'e 3 rows in front of me!!!  Will be lots of Dees around us at least

    Level 4 was all ticketed in the early days.  Pity not for finals though.

    I agree it would be stupid,  but that's what the ticketek map showed, the MCC map is incorrect and just a generic map.

    As menitoned by another poster on here, logged on at 9.00am and got Row Q. I looged on at 9.10 and got Row S.

    Physically impossible if all of Level 4 was ticketed. My experience also.

    The MCC and Clubs hand over all ticketting to Ticketek in finals. Only one map counts.

    I shall be queing up now to get a better walk up seat which should be fairly straightforward.

    Ticketek now shows all pre-booked areas sold out.  Level 4 will  not be full because of this issue.

    Enjoy the game and the week's break till the prelim!

    The MCC informs the Afl/Ticketek which bays are to go on sale and they are the bays in that map. It is not generic it is specific to the 2022 finals series weeks 1-3.

    Was chatting to someone yesterday who was telling me the MCC are unhappy with the 'double dippers'. People who get a reserved seat and then take up walk up seats. Don't shoot the messenger just passing on what I heard. Seems to me this is a problem of the MCCs own making (all tix should be reserved for finals if you ask me,)

    Suggested they would open the gates earlier for those that haven't already secured a seat.

    Logistically this would be a nightmare but I guess its possible. If you have already secured a seat through Ticketek then your bar code wouldn't give you access to the ground until an hour after those that had not secured seats.

    Will be interested in seeing whether this eventuates,

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
