Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

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 time

Let's just strip back some of the BS for a moment: It's a members pre sale (club and MCC), some of us have paid some pretty big bucks for these memberships and fronted up week in week out, there

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. 

We will pay for your ticket then or maybe take mine ;)

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

I also stand and wanted anywhere in Warne Stand Category 7.
Nothing available so got Ponsford for $40. 
Not happy with that bought M2 for $60. Have since found out I can access M9 standing from Ponsford. If you want a cheap tik ($30) you can have the first one.

Well i definitely won't log in to the Ticketek site 15 mins before it opens again. 

When did everybody log on?

About 9:50, got in 10:25. Also bought tickets to Pies Dockers for an 11:00 window. Logged on at 10:58, in at 11:03!

Seems completely random/lucky dip wait times.

$35 shane warne stand tickets now available for anyone interested. Took 2 mins to book

I’m stuffed if I know why tickets now available weren’t available this morning. Makes no sense. I spent $60 more than if I had waited.

Got in at 9:08am and the best I could get for 3 members was row MM level 4. If it was Melb v Rich I could cop it. Not Melb v Bris. I'll take my chances on walk-up

My experience this morning:

Logged on 9.00 got connected 9.10

Wanting 2 seats on Level 1 - none available

Went to Level 4  - got 2 in Row GG. Cancelled these

Tried again Level 4 - got Row Z. Cancelled these

Tried again Level 4 - got Row AA - Cancelled these . Determined Ticketek is a scam and throught try Level 1 again.

Five goes and no tickets available. Not even a single.

6th try Level 1 - Got Row , M47 - . Purchased. Punched the air.

What I learnt about Ticktek:

1. No Queue in place - no matter what they say.

2.  Absolutely random allocation (see level 4 booking patterns)

3. Entire ground not available all at once

4. When it says "none available", as it did when I tried for 1 ticket in Level 1, logically that menas sold out. And ground are should have read " allocation exhausted". No it doesn't. Coz its not , they are justing holding back.

5. Ticketek system is marginally fit for purpose and one rung above the NBN.

And we pay $7.70 for the priviledge.

I'm writing a strongly worded letter to Gil and the MCC just to make me feel better.

I can only repeat, what crap  Ticketek is.   Being a member and having early access to tickets before being opened to the general public means diddly squat. In fact you can be disadvantaged.

At 10 am I tried to book seats on level two  (I don’t like being on the terrace) but even though I chose level 2 (and the message was ‘seats available’) it always came up with seats in the terrace.  I tried this using both the premium and general member options. I canceled and tried again and again, it was bloody hopeless.


After exiting the system and logging back in I eventually got seats on the top tier in the Shane Warne stand (reasonably close to the front) when I elected general MFC member (not premium).  Could not get seats anywhere on level 2.

Just for the heck of it  I had a play  this arvo and I tried to get seats under ‘general admission’. I could have got seats on level 2! (which were not available earlier in the day) 

The Ticketek system really sucks. And for all the non members getting good seats….Good on you, barrack hard!  I have no issue with you, just with effing Ticketek.

so stupid.  maybe they assume members only want to book expensive tickets?  All available bays should be open FCS!

hopefully you can sell off the other ticket

Ticketek having a lend with members vs general.

As others have stated, you're more often than not disadvantaged as a member (unless you are wanting to by tickets en masse!).

Last week on the Tuesday i clicked on M4 level one.  It clearly offered me those and i ordered 6 tickets.  It then did a gateway error 404 on me after i entered Cc details & hit the 'purchase' button.

So i figured i'd been unsuccessful and went to try again.  However, i then thought "hang on...better check Ticketek account just in case the error wasn't an error".

After logging on to my account...low and behold there's my 6 tickets.  Haha you beauty Newc i thought!   But wait... hang on a mini... why does it say bay M50 Level 4 Olympic Stand!?? 🤔

So instead of allocating me my Level 1 M4 bay seats right next to cheer squad (as selected)... it hopped me into Lvl Olympic 4 up with the seaguls during the supposed gateway error!

After a long winded episode filling out a refund form and chasing what appeared to be a dodgy contact who had English spelling / grammer issues representing Ticketek... i finally got my refund on the Thurs.  Then re-purchsed the correct 6 tickets after more Ticketek errors on the Friday.  I seriously figured these tickets would be incorrect also but with a sigh of relief they got this second attempt right.

All up i think i spent 2 hours getting on (twice), filling in details, filling in refund forms, correspondence back & forth between Ticketek contact etc.

What a shocking process / system they're running here.  What year is this again ....1992?

I tipped off a mate re not taking cr#p seats, try again and you may get better seats. He thanks me for that advice, got much better seats on the fourth attempt!!!!

Ridiculous system.. surely the best seats should be available to those who log on first.  The system simply allocates seats bay by bay .... so if you get offered bad seats,, don't take them. Keep trying until you get OK seats.

Thanks for this Its very useful.

I too was in at 9.04am. Got 8 tix in M40 Row HH. Absolute Bulldust.

I didn't want to cancel the transaction though as I was arranging tickets for a bunch of friends and I though with 8 ppl it would be too risky to get them again.

I hate Ticketek

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
