Any other negatives Old Dee? Hope the weather does change bit early to take forecast for certain before teams announced.

Oh and how are the trains? Pity about the Airport line bring cancelled isn't it? 

I don't go to night games, cold from now on and trains are sus at the outer ends after 11.00. I went to first night game and drove home arrived  after midnight. For old guys like me night games at winter are not enjoyable. As for negative I said 40k how many is your guess?

I was in AFL Members. I'd estimate it was where 70% of Richmond supporters on the night were sitting. And they outnumbered Melbourne supporters in the area 10 to 1. But I swear we were louder and way more "into it", the few of us that were sitting there.

When Oliver kicked the goal at the end of the third, it's the loudest I've ever heard the AFL Reserve from Melbourne supporters. It was insane. In the fourth quarter it felt like *we* outnumbered them 10 to 1. 

Overall I'd say the crowd was 55:45 in favour of Richmond. That's my assessment from spending time in both AFL Reserve and MCC with a mate for the first half of the third. 

That's really good all things considered. We need a similar turnout when we play Collingwood.

I’m a sook and on big games like last night I can’t handle being totally surrounded by opposition fans in the AFL members. But next week against North will be paradise 😁

Maybe 30,00 or up to 35,000 ??? 

Ye I reckon it’ll be 33k, Saturday nights aren’t good for crowd drawing. It’ll have an interstate vibe to it I reckon, not many of them at all

As I said before, level 2a in the afl was a lot more even than level 1.  Only time the afl is particularly unpleasant is against Collingwood. The Richmond fan base were very quiet and down last night I thought.

At 3/4 several supporters near me stood up to yell at the Richmond clowns in the next bay. There were some swear words dropped but in the scheme of footy crowds it was very tame. Late primary school age kid sitting in my row starts crying from the rowdiness & their dad gets into a verbal with the yelling supporters. Proceeds to threaten the guy which only made the kid cry more. 

I was standing between m57/56 and there was a tiges supporter probably around 50yo absolutely sloshed in the 2nd QTR on byo booze. He was seated and ripping into a young kid in front of him at his first game. Had the poor little fella in tears and after they got up to complain to staff I thought they'd left. 

Old mate was evicted and I bumped into the kid at half time who was still crying and said it'll be right mate, Gawny and Kozzy will light it up second half. Towards the end of the 4th I went to the MCG shop and bought a Dees footy and went over to him and his old man and said for every [censored] fan at the footy there's a thousand good ones and don't let it spoil his first game.

It was my first Richmond game in years and that fan's behaviour reminded me why I'd stopped going to the tigers games

That’s so kind of you - the kid would’ve loved the footy.

Looking at Ticketek for round 9 tickets vs Hawthorn.

The site requires barcodes for mfc members to obtain a reserve seat:

Anyone know where to get the barcodes to unlock tickets.

I've also emailed the club.

TIA

You're a legend mate, thank you on behalf of all footy fans who just want to enjoy and let others enjoy the game.

Log into your Melbourne account, click membership details and it has a line for round 9 replacement home game membership barcode.

Thanks. 

The code has a two character alpha code at the start.  Is that to be included for Ticketek or just the numeric info.

Edit:  just tried it and it is only the numeric characters.

LOL!  If I had read all the details the answer was there.😐

Yes you will have a separate barcode listed in your account manager.

I got a question, my friend is having a lot of trouble accessing his mobile membership tickets. He clicks on the mobile membership button and enters his ticketmaster login but when he goes back to the ticket page and clicks the event it keeps coming up with an error message saying it can't login. He's logged into the app with his My Demon login, what could be going wrong here?

Seeing FTB response suggests there may be a different process for Trident members.

I am a Redlegs member and this is the process I followed:

Click on this link:  https://membership.melbournefc.com.au/?utm_source=mfc_website&utm_medium=navigation&utm_campaign=membership22

On the top right you will see the 'login' icon.  Click on that then follow the prompts for email address and password.  Your Membership Details should appear and will look like this (that FTB posted).

C3CF4377-F0E5-4135-AC0E-E9920F3B9BE5.jpeg

 

The Round 9 numbers are the code to input into Ticketek on this page on their website:

image.png.0f4be21eec7c6814ad949a660d8f7f5f.png

The box under 'OR' will open up as the numbers go in.

It allows me to choose seats at no cost in M bays but haven't worked out how to 'upgrade' them to N bays or even if that is possible for Redlegs.

@FearTheBeard

I found that the M bay allocation is free.

Do your know if it is possible to upgrade (for a fee) to other areas?

Does not appear to be the case, especially with Hawthorn having all of Level 1, 2 and 2A in the Olympic and Shane Warne stand as their reserved seating as well as some level 4 areas and some level 2 in the Ponsford. Think we will outnumber them anyway on the day.

If your friend has the same email for both accounts (MFC and Ticketmaster) then I find you can only log in by using the Ticketmaster account password.  Also maybe check the app is up to date?

Thanks DeelightfulPlay. Will ask him to update the app but I think this is going to be one of those tech head IT support things if it doesn't work!

Re barcodes for Ticketek.

Are they input on the same line with spacing or a comma, or are they put on separate lines?

TIA

@FearTheBeard you seem to be in the know about all the seating/ticketing arrangements at the G so thought I'd ask. Which areas in the Northern Stand level M are generally MFC Members reserved seat areas and which are reserved bays for MFC GA Members (do these even exist anymore)? I am an AFL Member with MFC club support but want to sit in the Northern Stand on Saturday night against the Kangas because I'm sick of being surrounded by opposition supporters or sitting in a sparsely populated bay. Is there an area on ground level in the Northern Stand I can get into as a GA Melbourne member? I know I could sit behind the goals where the cheer squad is but I prefer the wing rather than behind the goals.

Cheers

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
