Ticketing 2023

We are country members who rarely get to a match and not familiar with the MCG booking system.   We are hoping to take 4 interstate/international visitors to the Sydney game in Round 3.  I started the ticktek process and was suprised to see that only a few hours after the opening of the sale of tickets that  Level 2 and 2A Wing and Level 2A Gaol already have their "allocations exhausted" leaving only Level 1 and 4 options.  How is that possible for a non-marquee game? Do they release more allocations later?

(I didn't enter our member barcodes but clicked on the ticket and pricing information button since I wasn't clear at what point I can buy the extra 6 seats. Would I get a different result if I had?)

Any advice greatly appreciated thanks

    Majority of those seats are reserved Members areas e.g. Tridents, Redlegs.

    All of Level 2 Wing, Level 2 Goal and Level 2A Wing/Goal in the Olympic and Shane Warne stand are reserved seats for Trident/Redlegs Members. They may release part of bay N14 closer to the time if the corporate allocation of that bay is usually not fully taken.

    The only level 2 area that will be available from now is behind the goal in the Ponsford stand.

    It won't be full there against Sydney but the people that are there, will predominantly be sydney supporters there.

    You may think it is a non-marquee game but it is two top four teams playing and for whatever reason our an base shows up to day games and not night games, so there will still be at least 40K there.

    My suggestion, purchase general admission tickets so at least you’re in, then get someone on here to purchase guest passes for the Redlegs at $20-$25 each giving you seating on level 2A. If you can’t get guest passes (no reason you shouldn’t be able to) I’d sit in the first row of the great southern stand, Punt rd end behind the goals.

    thanks. It's not me who thinks it is a non-marquee game. I was just using what the AFRL says.  All MFC games are marquee to me.

    Does anybody know how you can purchase a ticket for the Demon's Round 4 match against the Eagles in Perth?

    The ticketmaster website has plenty of Seats available but you need a code to unlock it. Demon's membership numbers, Demons barcode numbers any number I have associated with my membership cannot unlock a single ticket that is available on that website.

    I am not a luddite and I have never had any problem securing tickets for any interstate venue including this one. Surely an opposition supporter can get a ticket for this match.

    Does anybody have any information that can help me here?

    Just had a go. 

    It looks like at this stage it is just for Eagles members 😟. 

    I'm guessing mfc members will be part of the general public ticket sales which may not open for a few weeks.

    Cheers and thanks for the clarification. There won't be many seats left for Dees fans. It's a lot easier to get good seats at Dockers games.

    Honestly had no idea this was a thing, just assumed it all happened at the same time for home and away games.

    Just guessing, it may be a stadium/ticketmaster/club decision so unique to Optus...

    Doesn't help those wanting to plan. I wonder when General Admin goes on sale.

    Watch this space on AFL website:  https://www.afl.com.au/fixture?Competition=1&CompSeason=52&MatchTimezone=MY_TIME&Regions=2&ShowBettingOdds=1&GameWeeks=1&Teams=17&Venues=3#byclub

    Our Eagles game seems to be the only ones for which tickets aren't currently available.  (Checked Freo games and they are also unavailable right now).

    I'm guessing ticket sales will open 2-3 weeks before the game.

    Normally I would sit there but I think I might enjoy sitting amongst he rank and file Eagles supporters. Might be nice to remind them about how many premierships we've won on their home ground.

    Expect to pay more for good seats then. Absolute rort at Optus:

    https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/afl/price-of-attending-afl-games-at-optus-stadium-significantly-higher-than-mcg-as-cost-of-living-hits-families-c-9777082

    One of their reserved seat memberships only costs $1675

    I wonder if the eagles will put on another lightning show like 2021. Cheats.

    You couldnt pay me to go to Perth or Adelaide.

    Dees will win anyway.

    We own Optus.

    After doing the Optus Stadium tour in the first week of the year I'd actually really love to see a game there. It's really just flight prices that I can't be bothered with otherwise this would be a great time to get over there for sure.

    I did the stadium tour before the Freo game last season. I think I might have to make a yearly pilgrimage to the holy land.

    The second the fixture was announced the cost of flights to Perth soared. It’s during school holidays and it’s also Easter weekend.

    Up until our bye round, this is the only match I won’t be attending. Partly because of the criminally high airfare and partly because Perth. 😁

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
