Got one of the last seats in the AFL Collingwood reserve.

Going to essentially be an interstate game in that area.

One of the great mysteries in life is why my dad didn't sign me up for an MCC membership at birth! Been an MFC member since I was 7 (before that was the VFL Squadron kids passes - showing my age haha).

So for now it is the AFL members which is an absolute zoo when we play the Pies. Hopefully one day before I die I will get to enjoy sitting amongst fellow Demons in the MCC with my kids whose dad did the right thing and signed them onto the waitlist when they were still young.

Tickets are on sale for the Geelong game at 2pm today. Does anyone know if there’s any provision for away fans? I remember last year something about a promo code to unlock tickets for an away bay.

Thanks FTB.

Fair to say about 150-200 seats left in that area. Be interesting if/how quickly they sell out.

Highly recommend sitting in this area, as it's away from the Geelong riff-raff.

Thanks FTB. Just used this!! I went on yesterday a bit late and there were only single seats left!

I'm sure you addressed this elsewhere but only 83k on Monday despite being a sell-out. Looked liked there were empty seats all around the GA areas. Do you know why this would be?

Haven't said anything but reasons are:

• Collingwood reserved seating in the Ponsford had about 1,000 empty seats
• MCC level 4 was 70% full thanks to people double dipping by reserving seats but then walking up to level 1
• 3 Bays didn't go on sale and wasn't rectified (900 seats)
• Top of GA in the Olympic was not full

Thats about 5K all up and is the difference between 88.5K which is what I would have expected and what it actually got.

I think there was some GA available at the gate on game day. Top level Southern stand and Olympic.

They really need to re-look at what constitutes a sell-out.

For example Dream time sold out and they didn't even get 80K.

They sold GA on ticketek and in theory said all GA tickets were sold but when they said everyone needs a ticket there would have been people who then reserved a seat.

out of curiosity ftb, what happened to all the standing room areas for kb. i didn't see any options for ga members to upgrade to "standing". did all those standing room areas just go unallocated.

i'd much prefer standing to level 4.

Standing room was sold out

Thanks so much for the code @FearTheBeard. Just got a couple of tickets.

For those purchasing tickets this week, remember it is our away game and the Demon Army will be in M33 in the Ponsford. M34-M36 95% sold out but they will but M29-M32 on sale today at some point.

Alternatively, if you hate your life, you can buy seats in the back of M3 and M4 and sit directly behind the Richmond cheersquad.

Are we expecting 70k plus on the Sunday?

Richmond actually put out a tracker for their home crowds this season before round 1 and initially had 58,000 for this game.

I suspect that will be quite accurate, the big MCG crowds rely on large GA turnouts (Hawks Carlton and Saints Essendon showed that). So it is very hard to gauge the crowd from ticket sales.

Reckon anywhere between 50K and 70K is a possibility but doubt it will get to 70K especially now that the kids go free has ended.

Is there going to be any general admission tickets on level 1 this week? 

[Jaded No More 60,159]

I was going to get some tickets for our away game against Carlton.

I am a H&A member so generally it's only $15 to upgrade to a reserve seat.

Why then is it telling me the tickets are $38 each to upgrade?! and why is it only showing me 4 bays total available, all behind the goals?

They only selling in M34 and M3-M6 at the moment. M34 will be next to the Demon Army at least.

Its all behind the goals because M50-M57 and M8-M16 are all Carlton reserved seat areas.

Always been $38 to reserve level 1 Goal for members at home and away games, $15 for level 4.

Thanks. I paid $15 last week against the Tigers for M32. Strange.

Do you know if they'll release more tickets in M36-M29? Or is M34 the only level 1 likely to be available?

Ye Richmond put level 1 tickets on sale last week to get more people to go which clearly didnt work.

All of M28-M36 will likely be reserved.

Ok thanks.

It's telling me now the M34 has no tickets left.

Might have to get them through the Demon Army which will make @WalkingCivilWar happy 😄

Plenty available in M34 and M35

[layzie 30,424]

I've never reserved an MCC seat before but planning to for the Carlton game. Wish me luck.
