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.


2022 Finals Tickets

So who here can give us an educated guess on what the crowd number will be?

All I've seen is that roughly 28,000 AFL Member tickets had been sold on Monday morning excluding the MCC. The MCC holds 23,000 seats and I'd assume it'd be filled to the brim.

That's about 50,000, plus whoever is getting tickets over the week. Is 65k realistic?

Be nice to know the crowd size Vs number of tickets sold but I guess AFL and MCC members would change this number.

It was 28,000 Public Tickets sold on Monday which included the AFL member figures.

Plus 14K MCC reserved seats sold and maybe 6K walk ups on the nights gets you to 48K.

Reckon there would be 5K more Public/AFL tickets sold since Monday and you are looking at 53K.

I think it could be as high as 58 but as low as 45. 65K is wishful thinking imo.

It doesn't really make sense to me. In round 15 we drew 40k on a Thursday night and it wasn't a final.

Considering that, is 60-65k really wishful thinking for a final?

One thing what we can be sure on though is that the crowd will be 80/20 in our favour. A lot less support for the lions in vic than Sydney.

I would be shocked if we get more than 60k to this game. Weather looks bad. Brisbane fans won't travel in numbers. Melbourne fans have maybe partially given up. 60k would be a good outcome. 

We will get 90k if we make the prelim against Geelong.

Just going based on ticket sales and it isnt great.

Level 1 sold out except M35 and M36 (single seats available in M57).

Level 2 and 2A will be sold out.

But level 4 is not great.

  • Q1-Q2 Rows A-J Sold
  • Q3-Q10 Rows A-T will be sold
  • Q11-Q15 Rows A-J will be sold
  • Q15-Q24 (Afl Reserve) Rows A-J will be sold
  • Q25-Q36 (Afl Reserve and Ponsford) Shut
  • Q37-Q48 (MCC) Sold out but some people will walk up on the night
  • Q49-Q53 Rows A-J on sale but wont sell out
  • Q54-Q57 Rows A-J will go on sale but barely touched.

Remember level 4 goes up to either Row DD or MM and we are talking about row J in most cases.

That gives you about a 25% capacity on level 4, compared to 80% last week.

So we lose at least 15K-20K on level 4 from a 78K crowd.

Just cannot see 60K happening

I'd argue Melbourne fans have more incentive to turn up as it might be our last final this year. Maybe I'm giving Melb fans a bit too much credit though...

I think that there were around 55K of us against Sydney and it was probably the biggest Melbourne turnout I have ever seen. Probably 15K of them and 5K neutrals.

So realistically, even if there are 45K of us there on Friday, brisbane only bought 3,900 tickets on Monday which may mean there will be a max of 8K of them on the night. I think anything over 55K is a god effort. We are not a big club and we know that.

Take into account that your 10K extremely fair weather fans wont go to a semi but will be there for a QF or prelim.

Thanks this is the respond I was looking for.

You seem informed, can you tell me how many seats each level holds? I assume level 1 and 4 hold a good chunk of the total MCG seating capacity, but it'd be interesting to know.

I have a psychotic problem for crowd sizes lol.

I am an AFL member with Melbourne club support so I could see what was sold in the club members on sale originally and the AFL on sale.

I am also an MCC member so I can see what was available there even though I hate sitting there for AFL games coz I cant lose my [censored] with Melbourne without getting thrown out the joint,

Then I follow what has gone on sale in general public areas about 3 times a day.

I thought last week would be 77K so wasn't too far off,

Once upon a time I tried to calculate what each level holds but it is really difficult because each of the 57 bays on level 1 and 4 are slightly differnt with seats.

But I gave a rough estimate that it was:

  • 36K level 1
  • 8K level 2
  • 4K Level 2A/3
  • 45-47K level 4
  • 5-7K standing room

Im probably off by around 5% per level but it gives a good guide and its why I think 55K-58K will be this weeks crowd

Lol, no I do not work for Ticketek but I also believe that people make lives more difficult than it needs to be for themselves.

I found that logging on too early means you never actually get in.

I log on with one device at 11:49 another at 11:53 and another at 11:55 and one of them (usually the 55) gets in just before 12.

The queue is bs which we all know, its pot luck which is not fair.

I stand every week even though I am a Redlegs member giving me access to reasonable seats.

Can anyone tell me why I couldn’t access Category 7 tickets on Tuesday - neither via Premium member or Club member?

I only had access to Categories 1, 2 and 6 from memory. When I clicked on Brisbane members I was able to get a Category 7 ticket (which I did).

In the event we win on Friday I’d like to know how best to get a standing area ticket (category 7). Are they only available when all seats are sold?

A standing room ticket is not category 7.

Category 7 are the two cheer squad bays because they are dry bays (M3 and M33) and the very back of the Southern stand (Q1-Q7 rows U-DD).

Standing room only goes on sale when they are about to sell out all seated areas.

For a prelim where it is expected that we will get 90K+ the standing room tickets will go on sale when the club members on sale areas become exhausted.

Surely there were 65,000/70,000 in 2018 against Cats and Hawks? We got over 90,00 to both games.  I agree with your estimate for about 55,000 of us last week.

Reclon if we make Prelim it will be a sellout with us outnumbering Cats by 5,/10,000 at least.

Against the Hawks in 2018 there were at least 35K of them there and probabaly 50 of us.

Against the cats id still say 55K of us 25K them and 10K neutrals because it was the finals series ticket game.

I believe 60,000 at both of us but I accept your knowledge of the MCG crowds.

why dont the fools just reduce prices and entice another 5000 people to attend. 

Now you end up with people that have been shafted by paying full price and it really isnt fair.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
