I’m not sure I can bear to watch us get slaughtered in front of 70,000 Pies fans. 

70k, to 20 with 10k who failed to show. 

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,510]

Just got off the phone to the club, I was successful getting 4 guest passes and 4 general admission tickets. If you had rang up last week or earlier and were put on the list you should also be good to go.

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,556]

I reckon 85,000 if we beat Carlton.

70,000 if we lose to Carlton.

You know 50,000 Collingwood will turn up.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,831]

I can't ever remember a Melbourne home and away season game being Sold Out.

So this is official?

[Deebauched 1,220]

Has any home and away game at the MCG ever been an actual sell out?  Even the record set in 1958 99K+ was not even close.

Just a few weeks back Coll v Carl was a 'sellout' yet barely 80K rolled up.

[SFebes 4,884]

If anyone wants to purchase 2 tickets, feel free to message me.....as I will be busy and unable to make it now.

I purchased a 3 game membership for our daughter at the start of the month as part of the Kozzie promo.

...

While I  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.

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.

Not sure if you caught up with the latest on this.

With a GA membership and having purchased a 'guest pass' the club will send a link to acquire a complimentary 'ground entry pass'.

So your daughter can enjoy the game with you on level 2. 

If you haven't received the link in the coming days give the club a call.

The team have certainly popped the hype balloon that was building for this game given our last couple of performances.

God forbid if we lose to a completely out of touch and undermanned Carlton this week. The Melbourne supporter drop off will be significant going into the pies game if we do. 

The club needs a rocking win this Friday night. A game of string four quarter football and none of this picking and choosing nonsense. 

[Pipefitter 2,235]

MCC reserved seats and guest passes sold out. In for a finals like crowd 90+

A win or loss is worth 15,000 people going through the gates on KB.

If we stink the joint up on Friday night, then I can see a crowd of only 70-75k the following week.

"sell out" simply means all available tickets for sale have been sold. it has nothing to do with how many people actually rock up and scan their ticket.

I tend to agree with the people saying that if we lose to Carlton there will be a large drop off which I think will only affect MCC walk up areas. People that have paid for reserved seats are still likely to go and I think our Reserved seat areas will be over 90% full regardless.

One thing that is forgotten is that Melbourne hasn't had a Queen/King's birthday home game at the MCG since 2018.

I think it will end up around 84,000 but could be as low as 75 and high as 88.

Hi all, I have a single ticket in M53 row Q up for grabs for $38. I upgraded my membership but can't make it.

Cheers, UP THE MIGHTY DEES!!

Thanks, no I hadn't caught up with that, very pleased if it has been sorted. I had a quick look at my emails and haven't received anything yet. How did you hear about it?

Is this a QB type sellout or an Adelaide Gather Round sellout (you know - the one where half the stadium is empty)?

Uninformed question as there has not been aQB sellout before.

A month go I bought two guest passes with the intention of using some spare GA memberships for their entry to the G.

When the email saying GA memberships will not provide entry to the G arrived, I contacted the club and they advised they were working with the AFL and MCC to sort it out.  I called the club this week and they explained that complimentary 'ground entry passes' will be provided on request. 

I haven't as yet received the email with a link to how to obtain the 'ground entry pass'.  Will let you know when I see it.

I am trying to convince my husband to attend this one, since we all know that when he is at the ground, we win.

So far, his response was "90,000 Collingwood fans? I'd rather not".

 

Just get him some musician ear plugs, I'll be taking mine just in case the end is unbearable 😉

Pies fans must be doing the heavy lifting here, we have been flat as a tack for a month plus now

A large number of the Dee supporters bought tickets before the rot set in, will they all turn up if we lose the next two?

The email arrived this afternoon with Ticketek '(GA) ground entry pass' tickets enclosed.
