I’m pretty sure you can enter through gate four and walk around to your section once you’re inside. 

You can't walk from Posford (gate 1) to Shane Warne stand.

I'm pretty sure the barcode includes to gate you must enter.

Otherwise any ticket would allow you to enter any gate ie MCC or AFL members gate.

I purchased another ticket in M2 anyway. Just means I wasted $40.

I've got a spare seat in the middle of the Lions cheer squad (M33) if anyone wants it ($30)

Not sure you’ll find too many on here who’d wanna sit in the middle of the Lions cheer squad. 😂

As for gate no. entry, I assumed it was possible since I rarely enter through the right gate. Clearly there are some instances where you can enter through a different gate and walk around once inside.

as an afl member i'm now joining the queue

took about 25 mins for the prelim; expecting this to be even longer

why the matches are not staggered ticket releases is mindblowing

That and the selling One bay at a time.

That is what gets me my nose you accept a less than wonderful area and then they open a section you wanted. Mine are ok but it stinks.

If my ticket says gate 1.

Will I be able to get in gate 4?

I just want to stand in M9.

My brother tried to enter gate 3 on Saturday when he had a gate 1 ticket. Turnstile said ‘wrong gate’ and didn’t let him in. I presume the same will happen if you tried.

There is a way to get to M9, albeit convoluted. Enter gate 1, go up to top level Q. It’s hard to spot but there’s a stairway entrance to a walkway which connects Ponsford with Olympic, bypassing MCC members. From Olympic go down to M then walk around to GSS/Shane Warne M9.

edit - saw you got an M9 ticket so all good.

I got in finally as well and got seats in M50. Are they decent seats Jaded? Also, I chose to get my tickets via sms, but nada. 

I love M50 it’s where we seat every week. It’s right next to MCC and the Melbourne bench so you see a lot going on. 
 

Sometimes the sms is very slow to arrive. You should be able to login to your ticketek account on your phone and download from 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. 

You are not trying seriously  or aren't a member or Don't try Gen admin tickets in the afternoon. 
Qual Final wasnt sSellout do how come you missed out?

the blocks on moving around are (1) the mcc area and (2) the afl members area. If you need to cross either you are out of luck

Got Level 1 open in AFL reserve.

Strongly recommend everyone download the Ticketek app. I had three browser windows on different devices open from 11;50am. Opened the app at 11:58 and got in on the app bang on 12pm. By the time I finished buying tickets and testing a few different areas of the ground it was 12:08 and the browsers were still in queue lol

I live so far away and the 7:50 start just makes it so hard to catch a train home. Once upon a time Vline would organize trains or buses not any more. Trains and trams only go back to Flinders st, no good when you need to get to Spencers St.

 

IIff you are going to post please post correct information. 
Some  trams go to Southern cross a 48 down Collins St. does. K

Lso Trains will go to South  Cross you may have to change stations or go in the Loop but THEY GO!

Also if you are looking for Spencer  St ( Station ) it was changed about 10 years ago to Southern Cross. 
May be time to update your Devices or old written notes!!! 

Good luck !!

Thanks for that tip re access from Ponsford to Warne. I reckon there may be an attendant there during finals.

Myself and 6 mates all have Redlegs but only ever stand in M9. For the 2000 GF I had to buy 9 seats (in Ponsford). I phoned the MFC saying I was happy to swap for standing room (we stood anyway). The MFC said they were too busy (fair enough). I guess I wasn’t on Dland then.

Few people know there is a "secret" walkway from the top level of the Ponsford that leads around to the other side of MCC to the Olympic Stand.  See if you can find it!

Yeah. Mentioned elsewhere. Handy to know but I reckon it’ll be manned.

My brother used it to see me at Cats Pies. @Clayton spirit didn’t mention it was guarded. He was in M30 and I was at M55 standing room.

Some chance a ‘standing supporter’ may want it. I doubt all that area will be Lions.

You can still do that! Via any ticketek agency

You are spot on. Online should work seamlessly, that they release the only two games to be played at the same time defies logic

Plus NRL finals 🙄

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

    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
