Anyone have an idea, the cost to the tickets for the finals game against the Colly?

Start at $35 cat 7 and go up to $96 cat 1

    I've asked before and certain I know the answer - I want a standing area ticket. I can't buy one until all seats are sold?

    Yep, everyone at 10am tomorrow, however priority one members get exclusive access to purchase category one and two seating.

    I am pretty sure this applies only to the GF and not weeks 1-3.

    Saints game also on Ticketek but for AFL reserve they are staggering the games, hopefully they do the same for Public and MCC. The premium option I am not 100% sure about.

    At the time I wrote I thought the Saints/GWS game would be at Marvel which is a Ticketmaster venue.

    It makes more sense to have that game at Marvel:  low membership club playing a club with no members!!  But for some reason the AFL has decided it is at the G...

    Anyone know which area is best for Dee's supporters at away games, as in gate numbers or area to book?

    Listening to David King on SEN this morning he was adamant that Collingwood should have 75% of the QF seat allocation because they finished on top.

    Apart from being codswollop it would not be a good look to have the MCG 75% empty after 3 quarter time.

    Thanks for the correction.

    Ticketek didn't seem to work that way last year.  Looks like the system has been update.

    Flights from Brissie booked now. Please oh please Ticketek don't fail me now you cobbled together chain of pentium 386's.

    Never been to a MFC final in my life adfter 56 years of supporting and over 15 years as a member.

    Any tips for seating and getting tickets smoothly?


    Make sure I'm logged in at 09:45am with our 2 bar codes ready to go I assume.

    I recommend having your phone and your laptop going on the website, since the queue is not actually a queue.  It is randomised acceptance of devices to give the opportunity to purchase a ticket within a 10 min window or something like that! (As in the 10 mins (or whatever number of minutes) starts from when you're randomly accepted and given the opportunity to purchase.)

    Quoted to emphasise the point.

    Last year I found theTablet was faster than the laptop every time even tho I logged in with the laptop first.

    Guess there isn't much point even logging in before 10.00.

    Priority access for these memberships simply means BEFORE NON MEMBERS.

    So many ideas floating around...I can't keep up!🙂

    The bit I quoted appeared to be about the recent  $30.

    As an aside. it will be interesting to see the feedback tomorrow on what priority Ticketek actually gives premium members...

    ...last year the Ticketek filter didn't seem to work...

    AFL members tix go on sale at midday and it is going to be a ****show with all games on sale at once. If the site doesn't crash it will be a miracle.

    I've worked in IT for decades and from a demand / infrastructure management perspective it's insane.

    You'd stagger the releases (tickets for games) at least a few hours apart to spread the load 

    Crazy

    I'm living overseas but want to fly back to Melb to see this game.

    I'm a lifelong Dees fan but because I'm no longer living in Aus I'm not an MFC member anymore (I support the club by buying merch these days). I’d need to buy a general public seat.

    Can anyone recommend which area I should try tickets to? I want to avoid sitting surrounded by pies supporters at all costs!!! It’s been years since I’ve been to a game so I have no idea where I should try and sit. Huge thanks!! ❤️💙

    So sorry for the misinformation. The Demon Army will be in M3, our usual bay. 

    No problem at all.  We will all be loudly cheering with you wherever you are🙂

    Hopefully we can drown out the noise from the Coll fans as we did for the KB game🙂

    Some details in the member pre-sale emails which are coming out now should hopefully make the ticket purchasing experience a bit more tolerable this year (assuming the system works as planned):

    - Only 1 ticket per barcode (as compared to 10 per member last year). The 10 tickets per transaction limit still applies

    - Reserved seat members have priority access to Category 1 and Category 2

    I was wondering it this had been Geelong would they have demanded the game be at tax payer park. I know it's under redevelopment so the game would not have been played there but they would have asked. Saint don't appear to have had any say the matter. Guessing it's the only way the AFL could swing the Thursday game for seven.

    We will, Luci. We’ll make our KB efforts sound like a soft lullaby.

    Yes, they often play finals vs interstate teams at KP.  One of the reasons they often progress deep into the finals.

    I'm surprised the Saints/GWS game isn't at Marvel.  Not sure they will get more than 45,000 at the G.  The will be giving tickets away...

    Love reliving it!!  We were sitting right above you and it was fantastic.

    A little request...please ask whoever it was that started the victory chant before we had it won to wait...iirc they kicked two goals in the last few minutes.  It was nerve racking...

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
