Kings Birthday Sold Out

[dees189227 11,429]

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. 

[Gawndy the Great 8,240]

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??

We get the gate receipts.

[Rab D Nesbitt 7,568]

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.

So this is what popular looks like!

[Dee Zephyr 18,682]

That’s gonna be a loud one for sure. Let’s hope we are 9-3 going into it. 

[brendan 3,422]

Not sure if I can make it yet will know closer to game day, but if I don’t I have 1 adult and 3 kids reserved seats that someone can use who missed out, but as I said won’t know for sure till probably week before

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.

[Dee Zephyr 18,682]

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” 

[3183 Dee 2,725]

@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.

[DeeZone 8,418]

Great result for MFC, we always look forward to the Big Freeze when it is ours.!!!

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.

[Demonstone 20,563]

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.
