I’m pretty sure you can enter through gate four and walk around to your section once you’re inside. 

You can't walk from Posford (gate 1) to Shane Warne stand.

I'm pretty sure the barcode includes to gate you must enter.

Otherwise any ticket would allow you to enter any gate ie MCC or AFL members gate.

I purchased another ticket in M2 anyway. Just means I wasted $40.

I've got a spare seat in the middle of the Lions cheer squad (M33) if anyone wants it ($30)

 

Ok I'm going. That system is ridiculous. No tickets available then they open the next bay and you can sit anywhere you like. 

i got  M51 row g. Happy with that I sat level 2 last week, didnt mind it but the atmosphere isnt as good as ground level for mine

 

Hopefully we have a win my heart couldnt take going out in straight sets.

Not sure you’ll find too many on here who’d wanna sit in the middle of the Lions cheer squad. 😂

As for gate no. entry, I assumed it was possible since I rarely enter through the right gate. Clearly there are some instances where you can enter through a different gate and walk around once inside. 


as an afl member i'm now joining the queue

took about 25 mins for the prelim; expecting this to be even longer

why the matches are not staggered ticket releases is mindblowing

That is what gets me my nose you accept a less than wonderful area and then they open a section you wanted. Mine are ok but it stinks.

If my ticket says gate 1.

Will I be able to get in gate 4?

I just want to stand in M9.

My brother tried to enter gate 3 on Saturday when he had a gate 1 ticket. Turnstile said ‘wrong gate’ and didn’t let him in. I presume the same will happen if you tried.

There is a way to get to M9, albeit convoluted. Enter gate 1, go up to top level Q. It’s hard to spot but there’s a stairway entrance to a walkway which connects Ponsford with Olympic, bypassing MCC members. From Olympic go down to M then walk around to GSS/Shane Warne M9.

edit - saw you got an M9 ticket so all good.

I got in finally as well and got seats in M50. Are they decent seats Jaded? Also, I chose to get my tickets via sms, but nada. 

I love M50 it’s where we seat every week. It’s right next to MCC and the Melbourne bench so you see a lot going on. 
 

Sometimes the sms is very slow to arrive. You should be able to login to your ticketek account on your phone and download from there.

Very slow, but I got it finally. Thanks again.

I have been to a lot of Melbourne Final over my lifetime. I have never been to one where they have lost. The fact that I could not get a ticket last week and can not get on this week has me worried. 

You are not trying seriously  or aren't a member or Don't try Gen admin tickets in the afternoon. 
Qual Final wasnt sSellout do how come you missed out?

the blocks on moving around are (1) the mcc area and (2) the afl members area. If you need to cross either you are out of luck

Got Level 1 open in AFL reserve.

Strongly recommend everyone download the Ticketek app. I had three browser windows on different devices open from 11;50am. Opened the app at 11:58 and got in on the app bang on 12pm. By the time I finished buying tickets and testing a few different areas of the ground it was 12:08 and the browsers were still in queue lol

I live so far away and the 7:50 start just makes it so hard to catch a train home. Once upon a time Vline would organize trains or buses not any more. Trains and trams only go back to Flinders st, no good when you need to get to Spencers St.

 

IIff you are going to post please post correct information. 
Some  trams go to Southern cross a 48 down Collins St. does. K

Lso Trains will go to South  Cross you may have to change stations or go in the Loop but THEY GO!

Also if you are looking for Spencer  St ( Station ) it was changed about 10 years ago to Southern Cross. 
May be time to update your Devices or old written notes!!! 

Good luck !!

Thanks for that tip re access from Ponsford to Warne. I reckon there may be an attendant there during finals.

Myself and 6 mates all have Redlegs but only ever stand in M9. For the 2000 GF I had to buy 9 seats (in Ponsford). I phoned the MFC saying I was happy to swap for standing room (we stood anyway). The MFC said they were too busy (fair enough). I guess I wasn’t on Dland then.

Few people know there is a "secret" walkway from the top level of the Ponsford that leads around to the other side of MCC to the Olympic Stand.  See if you can find it!

Yeah. Mentioned elsewhere. Handy to know but I reckon it’ll be manned.

My brother used it to see me at Cats Pies. @Clayton spirit didn’t mention it was guarded. He was in M30 and I was at M55 standing room.

Some chance a ‘standing supporter’ may want it. I doubt all that area will be Lions.

You can still do that! Via any ticketek agency

You are spot on. Online should work seamlessly, that they release the only two games to be played at the same time defies logic

Plus NRL finals 🙄

I’m hoping there’ll be some $35 GA tickets later today as I prefer to stand. 

so bizarre that they control the bays individually and open them slowly

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
