Ok so I finally got into the club and the below error message is correct, so long as it shows the games when I log in everything is fine. Only shows tickets 72 hours prior to the game. I suggested to the membership bloke maybe not have an error message but a screen starting that barcodes only available 72 hours prior to the game and he responded with "that's controlled by tickettek" so no hope of being properly informed lol.

Thanks for the help and suggestions @layzie

    Have George but won't arrive for weeks.

    Not much the club can do when it is controlled by outside interests. Good to see you were able to get it sorted out.

    On another note, but same theme as the OP, I'm an interstate member in WA and the ticket allocation for Melbourne members at Optus is farcicly small, sells out in minutes. Also, my email from the club advising me of the ticket release came the day before they went on sale and my barcodes were missing! Not happy. Had to pay full price for my family's tickets.

    that's not good enough

    to protest, you should take your business elsewhere

    oh, wait a minute

    I really like that we now have both the option of a physical card, so I don't have to muck around with downloading the ticket, and also the digital version.

    The digital membership and ticketing makes it really easy if you want to pass your ticket along to someone else without physically needing to give them your membership card.

    Amen to that George, it is amazing in this digital world of the 21st century that the ticket system is so poor.

    just spoke with our membership department, which as most of you know is a call centre for all 18 teams!, and no matter your ticket/membership class, you cannot buy a ticket now to our Ess V Dees.

    So, we will have stacks of empty seats for our game as Port supporters straggle in during Q4 of our game.

    I'm shattered.

    Sounds like that has been very well thought out.

    It is an Essendum home game isn't it      then its thought out a bit

    No ones home game and each team gets 900k IIRC.

    Don't worry about not getting a ticket as you probably wouldn't have found affordable accommodation

    Gather round and I'll tell you a story about a man named Gil

    A poor mountaineer but he kept the clubs fed

    Then one day while shooting at a bear up from the ground came a a guzzling ooze

    Port play the dogs immediately after our 'curtainraiser' finishes.

    Its the only double header not involving a SA side. Obviously the sellout refers to the Port game.  How many will bother to show for the first game?  

    Another brilliant idea by Tricky Gil.

    I grabbed 4 tickets when the club sent an email last year about this particular round. I was fearing paying through the roof for accomodation, but luckily found somewhere cheap for a couple of nights. Looking forward to this road trip now, the city could be buzzing that weekend.

    Which other games are you heading to?

    As you said, should be a cracking weekend of footy in Adelaide. Can’t wait.

    We do have our own staff. Our membership dept. is based at the admin offices at the ‘G.

    The tickets included the Port/Dogs game so we’ll hang around for that one after ours.

    Now this type of behaviour takes me back to the 70,s

    hope you have a designated driver. We did he was the only one over 18 with a car.

    How strange. Can someone please tell me why 2 Victorian clubs are playing each other in Adelaide? Are we going to see Freo playing West Coast at the Junction Oval next?

    There will be more tickets that go on sale closer to the game. There will be unallocated corporate allocations and these normally go on sale a few days before the games.

    And both have absolutely zero accountability or ability to get a refund or change in ticketing.

    Really?   Yesterday all I could get was high up in level 4.

    No mate, they have only put Q45-Q48 rows A-X on sale.

    Row X is not high up level 4, its a little over half-way up (goes up to row MM).

    Most of level 4 has not gone on sale so we are relying on most MCC members to be walking up on the night

    Level 1 reserved seating is sold out but over half of level 1 is for walk ups.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
