Now a message pops up no longer on sale. Eff the AFL.

There is a hiatus between 2 and 3 pm when Members sales ended and General Public opens.

@dworshipThanks.

That is weird.  Every time I clicked on an 'available' bay it didn't show what seats were available; it just sent me to some other bay in a whole different part of the ground.  Happened about 3 or 4 times.  FOMO set in and I gave up trying to get seats in what looked like 'available' bays and took what the computer generated.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the AFL just tells clubs that Home and Away is their time to shine and make money and the finals is theirs. 

Yes and I think we try to do packages to make a bit of extra. Associated with all this I understand the Grand Final winner gets a cheque from the AFL but do the other finalists?

I discovered in last few years , the Afl reserve has interstate club local melbourne  members who pay top dollar and so get into afl reserve. This dilutes availability of tickets for normal afl members 

If you wants a hint as to how diluted it actually is, it was once called the AFL Members Reserve and now is just the AFL Reserve.

Every man and their dog are able to access the reserve if they are an interstate member.

Richmond Premium members can access it too for away games...

Then they gave P15-P20 to the Medallion club which are always empty.

I understand that I can get Medallion Clubs in N19 which are incredible but woulkd rather have level 2 and 2A back with us members.

My old Man been an AFL Member since it became a thing and he gets beyond pissy that we lost the best seats on 2A.

It will be interesting to see what public seats become available. The hiatus is just weird, if there are member seats still available surely a Member should be able to purchase one even after 2pm.

Question about todays sale. You could have clicked on Sydney member and got tickets after putting the barcode in. So if we had played the Pies would they have taken all our tickets as well.

Maybe but we have bought out almost all of Sydney Level 1,2 and 2A allocation so there are a lot more Melbourne members who crawl out for finals

Don't know for sure but I doubt it as it is our "Home game"

Well, yeah exactly. That sounds like a pretty ugly truth.

Its a good bay M50 right next to the MCC members and the benches.

 

This is where we generally sit so I was stoked to get M50 again. 

 

It's just always hard to know if what you are given is a Melbourne allocation, not that Swans supporters worry me, I just rather sit with my own kind 😆

Did anyone have trouble with getting MCC seats. I was in around 9.10 and couldnt get three tickets for level 2, tried level 1 not enough tickets. Ended up in Q nosebleed territory for the first time ever. Went back in and only seats left are in Q and walk up. MCC is going to be rocking Friday night.

Exactly the same story for me as well. Not sure how many tickets have been allocated for walk up start.

MCC far from smooth, at one point I was able to order a visitor pass but no reserved seat, then just a reserved seat, then allocation exhausted before rejoining the queue. Ended up in Q36 which has been taken over by the MCC for the night, Reserve will be chcokas.

So I got distracted and logged in at midday and after looking at some pretty bad seats I gave up and just got what it assigned Level 2A, P7... I don't know the level, someone told me I'll need to go down to Level 1 to get Beer, is that right?

If anyone is wanting better tickets or group of tickets, two of my family members miscommunicated and bought 6xtickets in twice when we only need six.  So six available in bottom level olympic stand forward pocket.  DM if interested, selling for face value of tickets, not scalping or anything like that.

I've followed most of this thread. There's been some happy posts and some bloody sad posts.

Overall though there has been far too much confusion and far too many problems. We are club members who pay up. We represent  reliable money in the bank for the club and the AFL.

We deserve better treatment.

Consider the facts.

We have 60000 plus members, so lets allocate them 10 tickets each! Even my basic grasp of mathematics suggest that something is amiss with that equation!

We have 2 major games coming up in 2 weeks ( two weeks away).  Well logically let's put the tickets for both on sale at the same time. FMD!

Oh and for good measure, let's sell those tickets through an online system that seems designed to be as obtuse as possible.

There are computer systems that can land and operate a dinky toy on Mars FFS!

Surely the AFL could do just a little bit better?

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 times do they have to stuff up to learn you cannot sell all the finals games on the one day at the same time?  Small wonder people cannot get on. The first game is 8 days away. 

3. They have insufficient staff, so don't try to call them to fix up their mistakes.

4. Any barcodes get a ticket, even if for opposing sides....wait until the Collingwood crowd find out and buy out all the tickets for their next game.

4.  The problem is the MCC, not the MFC control who sells tickets.  They have contracted Ticketek.

Marvel stadium owned by the AFL uses Ticketmaster, and buying tickets through them is a breeze.

Got on at 10 couldn't get 5 cat 1 seats together - they kept on giving me rubbish seats. So just went what the hell and took what they served up... went to pay and then got ..... Oops something went wrong.... 

Back to the end of the queue.... 30+minutes later gave up on 5 seats and took 3 together (stiff bickies for the 2 extra people I was trying to buy for) 

Ended up in M56... could be worse I guess

Computer say no - lock in tickets in M3 press button end up in P2. Lol, what the hell.!!!

And to make matters worse, Collingwood supporters hog most of the AFL members reserve

Going to be a nightmare getting tickets in the AFL members if we play them in a prelim.

And if we do get tickets, it's going to be a nightmare sitting next to the ferals.

Hopefully they go out in straight sets.

That's my seating area during the H&A.

IMO they are great seats , good view and no you don't need to go to level 1.

MCC hardly a privilege in these corporate-deal days. Complete nose-bleeders in pocket after clicking for Level 1's for too long. How the Hell could Level 1 exhaust in 7 minutes? 

Level Q is like a vacuum even when filled.

Beats watching on tellie though.

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
