Anyone know in the  MCC level 4 whether the AA seats are nearest to the ground or the A row nearest the ground?

It goes A-Z (front row being A). 

Then AA starts after Z.. 

You be watching ants in AA.

Ticket sales update anyone? 

80k too much to ask? 

Looks like a bit of drizzle coming. 

There is the chance they are playing funny buggers with which rows go on sale (ie every second row to make it look more full) but it appears they are selling every row so this is what has been sold:

Level 1 - All Sold (Afl Reserve, General Public, Expected MCC full Level 1)

Level 2 and 2A  Sold out (Afl Reserve and General Public, Expect MCC to be full there)

Level 4: 

  • MCC sold out Q35-Q48
  • Ponsford Q29-Q30 Sold Out
  • Ponsford Q31-Q34 rows A-BB Sold (CC-MM not on sale)
  • Northern Q49-Q55 rows A-BB Sold (CC-MM not on Sale)
  • Northern Q56-Q57 Sold out
  • Southern Q11-Q15 Sold out
  • Southern Q7-Q10 Rows A-BB Sold (CC-DD will be sold out by tonight)
  • Southern Q1-Q6 Rows A-T sold (U-DD on sale but untouched)
  • AFL Reserve Q15-Q19 Rows A-U Sold
  • AFL Reserve Q20-Q27 Rows A-J Sold
  • Q28 Sold out

Reckon Level 4 is overall about 60% sold so:

35K level 1 + 10K level 2/2A + 25K Level 4 gets you to 70K

I think its going to surprise people how big our crowd is (possibly north of 75K).

Also people should have a look at the Bulldogs V Crows 2015 final which had 60K and the MCC was empty and most of level 4 was empty. We have sold heaps more than that game.

Now I know why Melb has  had such a spreadeagled MCC seating membership all season on the upper levels. 

This is called DOUBLE DIPPING and the MCC should be calling this out if any member is discovered doing this on Match day and penalising members who practice this selfishness. Ultimately leads to when the seats are needed to some members missing out or their families being penalised. 

Hopefully Covid style ticketing can also be discontinued and the previous systems reintroduced which hopefully are honest and not capable of being defrauded. 

 

I'll stop this practice (queueing on the day when I already have a reserved seat - Top of Level 4,) when the MCC/AFL/Clubs or whomever stop treating fans as idiots and they call out Ticketek for the scam it is. $7 bookning fee for a seat nowehere near Row A at 9.05 am on booking day,  and no queue system despite what their website says.

MFC members I know were also badly treated.  Its not just MCC members.

The only thing I trust nowadays is the MCC GF Ballot.  Run inhouse and likely to be highly trustworthy. 2 out of 3 times usually successful.

Fix Ticketek , and until then I'll double dip thank you.

In 2018 to be safe I queued at a ticketek outlet at 5.00am. Second in queue.

When I asked for 2 seats in a suitable bay the Ticketek staff member simply said those seats haven't been released to us for sale.  Pick somewhere else.

Really?

Also been issued MCC level4. We go every week and sit M46ish and have been put into "nose bleed" territory. Just watch day trippers get the best seats. Bloody angry.

Dont forget that Australia has corruption issues no different from other countries. Incompetence and laziness is a well known aussie trait.

Ticketek is a scam. Why should the public be forced to buy a ticket to H&W games. Its all about commissions on ticket sales and deals with AFL goons. Ticketek is the same as a bank. They both grift your money electronically. I will never buy anything on line. Pay cash wherever possible.

You want a good seat then go early . Problem is no VFL game to watch so its boring sitting for two hours watching the pidgeons. You think the AFL dont know this. ?

Pre book a ticket and pay a commission and arrive  at the G  30m before siren time.

Gotcha!

Thousands of fans will go and watch the second half of the reserves aka VFL . AFLW ...sadly alas...no cigar.  According to Austadium.com  some of their crowds for 2021 season were in the 250 -350 range. Only a handful of games over 1000 people.

What is your point?

Our AFLW crowds were betw 1200 and 1700 at Casey.  VFL are not attended greatly over the board however yesterday (Sat) about 1500 est were there for a great game. Let's see if we can get say 2500/3000 to the Prelim as the footy they turned on was excellent and the atmosphere was good. Plenty of kids in Don jumpers with no's on the back.

The mark JVR took was worth the admission price alone. In fact there was no charge just walk in  !!

No wind was a pleasant reward and about 45/50 mins was most enlightening  no country here just estates and shops an road improvements. 

Casey  showed off well on this big day snd criwds allowed out at 3/4 time to hear the Coaches. 

PS Bring your director chairs if you don't like boundary sitting or all day standing.

There is seating  for say 150/200 in the stand only!!

Great report not sure how this info is or where available Thanks JG.

FWIW  today I was at a sporting function and almost to a person ( mostly men) all non Demons ( bar Pies and Tigers ) said we were faves for Friday night and indeed were their choice or alternative with Cats for flag. Reckon we are our more our own doubters than anyone else.

BTW Tigers were full of "we can win 4 games in a row" and Pies divided some positive and others doubtful on their run continuing. 

Interestingly Saints fans didn't want to talk footy. When forced to they still think if Dees can do it they will one day as 2023  year equals our 57 year drought. No hope they say it will happen. Some even want a currency exchange in the Hope that will be game changer as in '66 !!!!

Good thing overall is Dees are now treated very seriously by all fans these days as a genuine top Premiership chance and are respected in the AFL.

Probably doesnt hurt at all that our AFLW and VFL Casey Dees are seriously good teams giving the overall successful Club culture and development a boost.

Please everyone who’s attending on Friday, please make an effort to get to the ground early to watch our AFLW match. If you watched our Round 1 match on the weekend you’ll know you’re in for an entertaining match. Our girls are in scintillating form. If you didn’t watch it, why the hell not?! JK. Watch the replay, and see for yourself. 👍🏽
TURN UP TO SUPPORT OUR GIRLS! Please 😊

I wonder how many in the MCC are holders of two tickets like myself. I jumped online last Tuesday and the best I could get was row AA level 4. I also went into the ballot for the Jim Stynes room but missed out however they gave me an option of dining in the Yarra Park room for $105 which comes with a level 2 ticket. No brainer. But I'm now the holder of two tickets (as are the other two I'm with) which is just wrong when others are missing out. Those dining in the Jim Stynes room would be holding on to two tickets as well. 

For anyone going walk up MCC and are happy with row AA level 4 get in touch with me.

Mal that will teach you, that you need to be extraordinarily connected to get anything from our "masters"   You should have applied through your MFC membership, and not sit with the cheese platter and seat rug set,   get down and dirty sitting with us on M1   just near the Cheers squad.  I know you can remember that far back.    Maybe for the Preliminary seating  you should try it.   At least I will not get a nose bleed unless some swans supporter does not like my comments.   Cheers mate   

sorry to hear your so far up into the sky,  I will wave....

anticipating this game so much,  win this and we are going to be very hard to beat,  Come on Dees

MCC expecting 70k. Good result if we can crack it.

We will crack it! In the ‘Age’, reports indicated 63,000 tickets had already been sold on Saturday morning with 70,000 expected. Hard to imagine only 7,000 will be added over the week, I think 75,000 at the MCG on friday is reasonable!

Always been a habit of mine, watching girls, I mean, We used to have the cheer squad girls playing each other at least twice a year,

long time ago now and I have no idea if there was a girls competition anywhere, a formalized game and competition. But at this time of life , It takes time to organize the others, never get anywhere early.

Going on this thread there are many MCC members who have bought tickets from Ticketek and won't use them as they will walk in or have tickets elsewhere.  Having said that I reckon 70,00 will be reached.

I reckon a lot will be surprised how many turn up. Melbourne fans seem to view finals as a different ballgame to turn up for some reason 😂

LOL I’m glad this is no longer a thing! I wouldn’t last five minutes, I’d likely be slam-tackled the nanosecond I got anywhere near the ball, then subbed off. But the pain wouldn’t end there…I’d then be ripped to shreds on Demonland. 😁

Yeah nah, times have changed. The skills on display are something else! Well worth telling ‘the others’ to get their arzes into gear and arrive early. 😊

I was speaking to the membership department a little earlier and I nearly fell off my chair when they told me what the club is expecting on Friday. I had to ask twice just in case I heard wrong, as of this morning according to ticket sales I was told they are expecting 84,000. I think we all hope it gets to that.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
