I am guessing the barcode will be different for every game on the app so I would say no you can't do that. Plus you can't screenshot your barcode either, when you do it comes up with a note stating that screenshots will not work to gain entry. I am curious as to how this can be the case unless it is scanning your phone at the same time but then how can a membership card work........ My brain hurts.

Just realised why, it's a QR code not a bar code so every game will definitely be a new QR code.

    I wonder if you have to download a separate QR code for each VFL match as well

    If you have to use the app to get in then I would say yes.

    On a related topic I have got some strange emails from the membership depts managed presumably by the ticketing companies.

    First was last week encouraging me to renew my MFC membership which was done 4 months ago. Yesterday I got one asking me to join the North Melbourne tipping comp. The footer said I had registered to receive updates from North Melbourne which of course I have never done.

    In these days of cyber hacks you wonder how secure and maintained your data is. Not to mention where it is

    Do screen shots work for Ticketmaster codes?

    The Ticketmaster system doesn't seem as easy as Ticketek where you can just forward a SMS for extra tickets. You have to send to their email for Ticketmaster, just doesn't seem as simple

    i believe (but don't quote me) that during covid lots of people transferred using screen shots. at least that's what i remember

    I have yet to receive my membership card (which i ordered as a back up - 50% of games i went to my phone would not scan though the turnstiles and i had to go via a person who scanned with a hand held device - as obviously others had to do given there was person at each gate for exactly that purpose - so bloody annoying as it involved basically lining up twice)

    Has anyone else not yet received their card (nb: i paid my membership last Nov)?

    Did you register? I hd no idea you had to register, but luckily I read on here that you need to opt in to get the pack. I called them last week to opt in, and apparently it is on the way, although the recorded message says 4 to 6 weeks.

    I tried to download the tickets via the app, but kept getting an error. I tried logging into the club website, but it wasn't recognising my password. I tried resetting my password, but I was not getting the password reset email.

    I was pretty p**d off by that stage and called the membership hotline, and they tell me that my issues were due to me being set to do not solicit.

    Now I can't remember doing that, but do not solicit means no marketing emails. I did not get the email telling me I had to register to get the pack, I was not able to access my account on the club website or change my password, and most importantly I was not able to access game day tickets.

    Absolute madness, paying for a premium membership and not being able to go the footy because I was set to do not solicit.

    Not sure if i registered. But i def picked the get hard card option. And voucher not scarf. No pack as of yet, which given i paid up in no last year seems crazy. 

    But i just checked and i could still download my electronic ticket on my app on my phone, which i've done.

    So no issue getting into the ground thank goodness - well except for the fact there is 50 50 chance i won't be able to go through the turnstiles (it drives me spare waving my phone under the scanner waiting for that stupid green GO sign to flash - a situation made more frustrating when invariably the 16 year old attendee standing at the gate looks pityingly  at me like i only recently discovered the internet)

    Yeah, I hear ya. It would be worth calling the membership hotline and seeing where it is.

    I did screen shots of my barcode last year and it worked every time. I could always use the app if there was a problem, but never needed to.

    Forwarded screen shot to mates when I couldn't go, no problems

    I bought tickets for next week at the gabba and they have removed the option to print tickets at home. I mean, wtf, it's my resources being expended and I like to have a fail-safe confirmation in my hand. It's like they don't want people to attend. How have they added so much complexity to something that was and should be so simple.

    Some of the comments telling people “it’s simple” are so condescending

    I work in this space and it’s a totaL shonkfest (to borrow a term from my year 12 Gisborne SC English teacher, the bejewelled ex wrestler Mr Anderson).

    multiple logins across multiple sites without SSO, it’s a farce

    just look at the all the workarounds and carry on ***JUST TO BUY A TICKET TO THE FOOTBALL***
     

    it’s 2023 - hello Artemis and James Webb - and the AFL and racketmaster and rackettek are still forcing this dog food on the proles

    Agree

    I bought tickets and did the online visa process for the World Cup in Russia in 2018. It was a breeze compared to the AFL ticketing monolith

    Not sure if you saw it before but when I screen shot my ticket which is a QR code it says it won't work.

    I'm with you, I don't see why it wouldn't work just trying to save people headaches in case it doesn't.

    Go use the membership  card you were offered to choose but have obviously ignored. How many  chances do you want when change is available.

    The tickets are in your phone for scanning. Yes Many like the paper trail but really it's old hat!!

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
