Kings Birthday Sold Out

Well you can at least guarantee the mcc will be full. If the AFL members show and it's a nice day we could get over 90,000 easily. 

It's also because both sides are up there but the Neale daniher factor and the mnd slide gets more people through the gate. 

If we were bottom on the ladder I'd still go just for the pre game stuff

    June 12th top 14 degrees and wet. Not what we want to see. 

    Not for our chances of winning no

    Not for the atmosphere.

    But it won't matter to our financial bottom line if it has sold out already.

    How many home members will miss out to Pies fans? It’s great for them that they have a huge fan base and are in ripping form. But it means that most of their away games are actual home games as any other team outside of Bombers and Blues. 

    Couple the above with a lower interstate fixture and then talk about efforts to create equilibrium. The continued inequity in this game is driving me mad. Especially as Collingwood get to continually benefit.

    If you need help I can get you MCC guest passes which are still available for level 4 or walk up on the day. Just hit me up and can work something out 

    Thank you, that is very kind!   I will let you know

    Exactly. Next to us are two guys from SA who have reserved seats but don’t turn up often as you expect. 
     

    I wouldn't expect them to turn up very often??

    I feel for anyone that doesn’t have a reserved seat in an MFC only area for this game as being surrounded by their manky mob last year was unbearable.

    The AFL members will absolutely show up. It's essentially the Collingwood reserve these days and they almost packed it out against Sydney a few weeks back. It's already a sell out in the AFL members.

    I think there is more of a chance of the AFL members being full than the MCC.

    I'm a nuff at these things. So as full MCC if I want to get there early for walk up seats do I just purchase General Admission?

    The bureau can't even get tomorrow morning correct, so I'm sure that forecast is subject to change.

    I don't think it's rained on a Dees V Pies Queens/Kings Birthday game for years. It's often a mild 15/16 degree day.

    This is what playing Collingwood when they are a game clear on top of the ladder looks like

    As a full MCC you can walk up on the day and access the walkup areas on level 1, 2 and 3 just make sure you get there early. I would go as the gates open at 11:30 and get you seat and then have lunch on Swan street.

    Agreed but we do have the extra three bays of reserved seats for our members which catered to an extra 2.5K of our GA members.

    Is it an MCC/MCG call to charge members for an upgraded seat? The club should have the power to allocate a seat to GA members at no cost since they’re paid up members already. I think it’s bulls**t they (not the club) have to suck every dollar out of you.

    I bang on about their unfair advantage every year. Less travel …more MCG games ..more prime time games ..the bottom line is the AFL is all about the $. It’s hard for teams to get more exposure & attract more members when the AFL favours the “big 4”

    @DubDee - you should check with the club as, if you have a GA membership you should be able to get into every home game. There may be less choice of seats, but your membership should be counted as a ticket already sold. There’s no way you should have to pay extra just to get in.

    I know - they get in everywhere. Last year, we had Demon Seats memberships, yet there they were, spilling beer over everyone, sitting where they wanted. Stewards just shrugged.

    No, you cannot scan in on the day with a normal GA membership for Kings Birthday, that is the whole point of a fully ticketed event. The only tickets already counted as already sold for this game are reserved seat members. This was a decision not made by the club and there is not much that they can do about it.

    They were even in our Tridents area on L2 in the Northern Stand baiting people when they hit the front. They truly are the lowest form of life. The scum de la scum of supporter bases, if you will.

    They can't even get the weather right a few hours out. At this stage, they're just as likely to get it completely wrong this far out.

    Wouldn't it be lovely to hear a slow chant of "Colleeeeeeeeee Wobbles" ringing out around the MCG midway through the last quarter as despondent Pies fans file out with their heads hung low.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
