just chose swans members section 

thanks Balls,

I just chose wans members section got 8 seats together with my whole family who have had reserved seats for 20+ years. happy to sit anywhere.

Try Swans members it works. What a ridiculous system

...BTW, I just copied the Sydney members suggestion from someone else here.  Forget who now, but thanks Demonland - love you guys, GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!

Let's smash those Swans - we owe those Balastrades.

It is toward the back but you will be under cover (the 'drip line' is Row Y) and protected from the wind.  Far better than the exposed P and Q.   

shudder - the drip line

I hope this is beer dripping on me

Thought I’d try my luck again just then. Surprisingly I got straight in after about a 30 second wait and got a ticket in m11 on the 50m line!

M15 is ground level.  Is that your question?

I think level 4 is Q

Could never work out how 65k members goes into available seats at the G . I’ve learned something today, it doesn’t.

Then to allow members to be able to buy 10 tickets! Madness. (I must admit I got 3 extra tickets because the vibe was only 65 to 70k was expected to attend.

Surely from here on it should be one ticket per member?  Members and members only get first priority! The downside being you can’t sit with friends.  Personally that wouldn’t bother me….so long as the people next to me bled red and blue.

Out of interest, did anyone get level 2 Punt rd end? Or level 2 anywhere?

I got on within 10mins this morning and picked up 2 tickets in N7 outside the Hassett Room. In 2018 I had similar problems to what others are experiencing now. This morning when I looked at the available bays in Catagory 1 there were seats (although I don't know how many) in N12, N7 and N6. From my experience in 2018 I believe the bays are released selectively and the seats are allocated from the middle of the rows 1st. If you select seats but don't go through with the purchase those seats become unavailable for a period of time hence at times there are no seats available in Cat 1 in the Bays that are unlocked.

Me too, glad I won't be alone in there!

looks like they've allocated more seats for us

for those who missed out give it another try

then if necessary try again later in the day

bloody ticketek and their fun and games, and lack of communications. they could easily text people who register when extra allocations are made

Do we still have access to the social rooms on the day with our memberships? Regardless of where our seats are located of course

That's an ordinary response from the club.

They should be backing you and saying it's not good enough and that they will be demanding the AFL and Ticketeck fix these problems.

Not good enough.

Members that support teams and the competition through thick and thin deserve to be looked after.

F you AFL and Ticket Toss.

The Club is very good at sorting out Ticket issues during the Home and Away Season but soon as Finals arrive the AFL has complete control and receives all of the funds. It has contracts in place with Ticketek and the MCC and nothing will improve until that contract is renegotiated. As an aside, we travel to interstate games each year and those grounds that use Ticketmaster are much easier to navigate.

Well if we make the Prelim and Grand Final, can safely say most of us won't be able to get seats even if we paid for reserved ones!

More members makes it harder to get seats. Double edged sword of more support!

If you haven't got a Premium seat from Ticketek you have no access to the rooms you are referring to.

Wish I was.

Had tickets at the back of M51, but then got royally screwed by Tickettect

Anyone else find that it takes forever to get through on a laptop but reasonably quickly on a mobile device?

Can't understand why...

Can someone please explain how general public tickets work? Do i still need to use a barcode

Yep that’s what happened to me. I had both going. 

 

Sounds like the M50-M52 bays will be full of Melbourne which is great. Just like home games. 
 

Bring it on!

Did you eventually get through on the laptop?

Yup BA. We chose category 1 pricing however so don't know if that makes a difference. We're in the bay next to our regular home game seats in the Olympic Stand. 

Woo P22 AFL reserve, was hoping for P21 but I also have 2 Medallion clubs in N19 so I am chuffed.

Hope I am not surrounded by South Melbourne grubs again in the AFL reserve

Just did a mock booking . Plenty of Melbourne members seats available. I could book 8 together in M50 on an aisle.
