Need an allocated seat to get in. This is the problem I have at the moment as Guest Passes apply to a seating "area" not individual seats.

in that case what happens to the standing areas. they add to quite a number?

shouldn't they be selling an upgrade offering for standing only?

My friends got a general admission ticket and unsure what happens now? Can they still get in with it? It’s so confusing what to do 

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1333586/record-breaking-king-s-birthday-crowd-expected

From the article

"A limited number of general admission tickets have been pre-sold through Ticketek, these tickets will be able to access seats in the Olympic and Shane Warne Stands."

For those that have purchased a General Admission ticket on ticketek, there will be GA available in Q1-Q3 rows Q-DD and Q31-Q35 rows AA-MM. 

Please don't think you cannot enter the ground; this is separate from Melbourne GA members that need to purchase a reserved seat.

Melbourne members can upgrade to a reserved seat for $18, yes it is not great, but it guarantees you a seat

 

The fixture for R16-23 has been announced but still no ticket sales are available on the AFL site.

I purchased a 3 game membership for our daughter at the start of the month as part of the Kozzie promo. While I was at it I booked and payed for a KB Redleg guest pass ($30). I rang the Membership team this morning as the Membership card has not arrived yet. They still don't have any advice regarding entry to the ground for this situation. They have been on the back foot as the MCG has sprung this on the Club and it caught everyone by surprise. If I have to pay extra for a "Reserve Seat" ticket I'll be annoyed but as long as I can get the daughter on level 2, I will do whatever I need to do.

Earlier this year a friend had the same problem and the club organised a paper entry which was collected at the membership office near gate 3 on the day of the game.  In addition, the digital barcode appeared in the mfc mobile app which could have also being used for entry. So under normal circumstances entry to the G is simple even without a card.

For the KB game, we just have to wait and see what the club comes up with re GA membership + Guest Pass.  I have two guests in this category for the KB game so am keenly interested in the outcome.

I'm confident they will find a solution that means we don't have to buy Reserve seats for guests (which I did last night to be on the safe side)

Only saw the email about, no GA entry available, a little while ago.

Went to the ticket site to upgrade my GA ticket and the GA from the 3 for $36 deal.

Got some tickets up in the nose bleed, Warne, level 4, BB.

So much for footy being affordable! 

Playing big clubs like the "boo'zers", is just uncomfortable, and pricey.

Are you sure about that? Oops, I see you mentioned GA bought on ticketek, not via the membership. 

The email sent said no GA admission.

“This means that there will be no general admission Club Member scans for this match - instead all eligible members will need to upgrade into a reserved seat to access the venue. 

A limited number of general admission tickets have been pre-sold through Ticketek, these tickets will be able to access seats in the Olympic and Shane Warne Stands.”

The above is from the club website, says something similar on the MCG app.

 

Thanks @Matty, riled about having to upgrade my ticket and the 3 for $36 (that they sold recently, saying access to the KB game), and didn't read clearly what the Beard wrote.

Clarity is sincerely appreciated.

Says it all really.


For the AFL members on here, how did you go with getting KB tickets? Very happy with M16, since it's right next to the Melbourne members reserved seats I believe, and as far away as possible from the city end!

8 tickets in M19, got on at 2pm on the dot, seamless.

Will be a bumper crowd, I'd be surprised if AFL members isn't a sellout and MCC will be packed to the brim. Would be amazing if we come close to the Anzac day crowd.

AFL reserve already is just about sold out, only single seats Level 4 Back and Restricted view available with them selling standing room.

MCC reserved seating areas are nearly sold out on Level 4, probably another 3-5 days before they are all gone (Currently up to row AA in Q37-Q40 with Q41-Q48 sold out.

GA areas on the day I believe are going to be Q1-Q3 rows Q-DD and Q49-Q55 rows AA-MM. Expecting it to be around 86K

So if I have this right. As a reserved seat member I don't have to pre book, just scan my membership for the Kings Birthday game on the day.  

Correct

My daughter has been waiting over 4 weeks to get log in details so she can use her membership. Today she was given an excuse as to why it will take even longer.

What a joke, after paying $600 to be a member and then charged $10 for every seat which she is forced to buy and they can’t even send her details to her.

Couldn’t run a chook raffle this mob.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
