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. 😁

Long weekend, would have been even more perfect!

    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?

    Your mistake Andy is expecting things to be easy on ticket master! There will be plenty of tickets, weagles fans won't be booking it out this year.

    Whatever you do don't book on Jetstar that is a long flight for them. Probably arrive the day after the game. How does a weekend in Kalgoorlie grab you?

    Funnily enough, during half time at the first Derby there at Optus, Virgin ran a spin-the-wheel promotion that gave one lucky fan the chance to score a free flight to a particular destination somewhere around the World. Guess what the poor fan won: a free flight from Perth to Kalgoorlie!

    You were lucky that is on time in Jetstar speak.

    So I guess I must be too late, as Ticketmaster site says they couldn't find any tickets! Should I take it up with membership? Seems ludicrous that the Dees allotment would be sold out so soon, but then ...?

    Still $2000 worth of value. 🤣

    From Membership: Allocation is exhausted and waiting on WCE to release more seats! - its optional for them (which I cant see happening looking at the available GA seats on sale).

    Elected to purchase GA tickets where I wanted to sit rather than where Ticketmaster wants me to, and effectively my one free ticket of the year becomes redundant. Frustrating to say the least.

    Did you try a "dry" area. They were available a while ago behind the cheer squad, but not my cuppa tea (excuse the pun).

    I did but all gone. I ended up buying a GA ticket as well.  I don’t really care much for a seat. I am just as happy standing if I’m on my own. During the GF I left my seat and watched the whole game standing from the ends we were kicking to.

    'twas a night to remember, certainly. My only ever GF, in my (now) home state, just a pity it wasn't against WCE.

    It’s Easter Sunday, so don’t be surprised if they do actually release seats

    Got my member tickets for the game., they have put us in bay 333, which is opposite end of our cheer squad.

     

    It’s actually the better end of the ground to watch from, you won’t be looking into the sun. Last time I was seated at that end of Optus was 25/Sep/2021 what a day/night that was

    As a 26 year loyal member, Player Sponsor and every other type of fanatical group. No wonder a older generation or people in general are frustrated with the digital Ticketing system. I understand the digital world since 1980, but the current situation of Ticketing is a absolute debacle to members and the general public.

    Today I tried to book two guests into the MCC. I have 3 guest passes. Category 2.

    Ticketek along with the MFC mobile Ticketing system is a disgrace. 

    Took more than 30 mins 3 re logins, as you were redirected to different websites. Barcodes wernt recognised with guest passes. 

    I shake my head.

    But I have 2 guests coming @$93

    Go Deez.

    Not only that but at the moment you can only book MCC tickets for the first 3 rounds.

    Ticketek is a disgrace.  Admittedly we are not young, but it's not as if we are out-of-date oldies who are fazed by technology.   This household has at least 3 professional IT people in it who have even written the sort of stuff Ticketek is trying to do and we struggle getting it to do what we want in an efficient manner.

    It's a sad fact of life that both Ticketek and Ticketmaster are a complete disgrace when it comes to anything resembling customer service or providing a quality customer experience.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
