They're also now offering walk ups in the AFL members Reserve meaning:

1) AFL members can get free entry if they're happy sit on the top level.

2) They're expecting a rather small turnout in the AFL members. I saw a level 2 seat for sale last night which is unthinkable for a final.

They always put up  bay on level 2 two days before the game.

Its usually N24 for unused dining allocation.

The fact that level 1 sold out surprised me.

 

I have 2 tickets for sale for friday nights semi Dees vs Lions on level 1 M52 seat U12&13 adult cat 1 normally $93 each sell for $50 each

I have a GFG. If I have to go in a ballot, I will be asking for my money back. It’s not really  a guarantee if you have to enter a ballot.

Club has sent out info. Next Thursday 15th is Registration day if we win this week. 

PRIORITY ONE – GUARANTEED*

Membership Types - Reserved Seat/Reserved Bay Members, Grand Final Guarantee Add On Members and Foundation Heroes. Registration Time - 8am – 12pm on allocated day.
* Any Priority 1 Member who do not register in the designated time frame or instead elect to register within the Priority Two or Priority Three time frame will have waived their right to a guaranteed ticket. It does not matter what time you register during the designated timeframe as all registrations will be randomised to determine the order in which tickets will be allocated.

So it basically sounds like, thanks for paying a million dollar for priority 1 for the last 90 years while we sucked.  You WILL get a ticket if you register, but that ticket could be standing room only in left toilet cubical. May the odds be with you.

Melbourne supporters are so weird.

Can't wait for the new generation to come through and it's less oldies from south-side of the river who prefer to watch on their 80 inch LG C1's from home to avoid a few raindrops.

Why do our supporters pick and choose so often?

It's a [censored] semi final!

I thought missing the entire finals series last year would motivate at least 45,000 of our 65,000 odd members (not including MCC members) to get to and cherish the idea of attending a final in person.

Guess I was wrong and people prefer to stay at home and listen to BT's mistake riddled commentary where he's been known to call players that aren't even playing. Or JB marvelling about two traditional Melbourne sides in Geelong and Collingwood doing battle last week.

Get to the game peoples!

Yep and you can't pick your seat.

so that's $435 plus the $210 GFG already paid

and this year the GFG was mandatory for ANY reserved seat ticket

edit: oh, nearly forgot the extra $7

You'd think $435 would buy you much better entertainment than Mike Brady & G-Flip (whoever that is). Where has the saving on fireworks been allocated?

Jokes aside, would love an 80 inch C1.

Don't forget the $5 non-refundable fee at time of registration to cover administration fees. You use to get the $5 back. So four teams lets say 100,000 members try for GF tickets that $500,000 for doing what.

For having a really bad website.

God, the AFL for its marketing and $ spent on entertainment, pay big bucks for Robbie Williams. Some folks might like him but he is seriously old school even for a bloke like me. Seriously underwhelming and middle of the road. We have so much home grown talent that would be preferable.

anyone know how many of our members fit these categories? just doing the math on chances for priority 2

I very nearly gave up my AFL membership the last two years. As a Gold tier member i am effectively guaranteed a ticket to the GF if Melbourne makes it... I think I'll hold onto the membership for a few more years at least :p

Post 2018 MFC as I understand it sold its entire quota of GFG tickets and like many teams now has a waiting list for GFG.

Not sure if this changed during covid.

If that's true not much hope for priority 2 is my guess. IIRC in 2018 it was around 50% chance but at that time the number of GFG memberships we had sold were a lot less

31 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

weather forecast tomorrow is 'partly sunny' with no rain forecast

still reckon if we pull more than 55k it will be an excellent result

Not sure where you get your forecast from. Bureau of Meteorology has it down as:

 

Partly cloudy. High (70%) chance of showers, most likely in the afternoon and evening. The chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon and evening. Winds northerly 20 to 30 km/h decreasing to 15 to 20 km/h in the late afternoon then becoming light in the late evening.

Stuff up - sorry

Just my final thoughts on what crowd will be tomorrow.

34K on level 1, 8k on level 2, 3k on level 2a and 10k on level 4

55k is what that gets me which i still think may be overs but am hoping we get a little more

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
