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...

Don’t worry… we learned our lesson that day. That last 26 seconds of the match felt like 26 hours!

The cheer squad is divided on doing the long chant and our theme song before the siren. The majority are all for it, but there’s those that aren’t comfortable with it, and boy, did they let us know about it that day. 😁

    So, if I’m looking to buy tickets for 4 members, I need to have all their barcodes?

    Yes, looks like this is the case this year - from the email

    "Limit of one (1) ticket per membership barcode.

    You can purchase a maximum of ten (10) tickets in one transaction."

    (FYI in contrast last year for Sydney/Brisbane finals you could just use the one membership barcode in this situation, but the email included this: "Limit of ten (10) tickets per membership. You can purchase a maximum of ten (10) tickets in one transaction.")

    Yes.

    And if you are a priority one member (basically all the membership types with a GF guarantee), all others have to also be priority one member if you are wanting category one or two seats  (the info says Priority One members will automatically be offered category one seats)

    We all are.

    Looks like priority one seats are $96! I assume for that money I get a half time foot massage from Andrew Dillon (including lots of eye contact)?

    Just go to the mfc website, click on the 'membership' tab then login (the long is to the tickemaster website).  The barcodes appear straight away or will be in the 'membership details' tab.

    It isn't obvious in the Ticketek website but the barcodes must be on separate lines with no commas.

    The easiest thing to do is have them in a document, (triple check them🙂) and copy/paste into Ticketek.  This will save time and you know they are correct.

    While Ticketek nominally assign Bays for the two clubs I don't think it is sophisticated enough to ensure the numbers are 50/50.  My impression last year was first in, best dressed.

    Regarding the Ticketek 'premium' member option the computer didn't always deliver premium seats nor priority access.  The seat allocation seemed to be on price category rather than membership status.  Anyone could choose the highest priced tickets. 

    Generally, the computer seemed to allocate tickets (by price category) in a Bay until it was full then allocated tickets in the next available Bay.  Sometimes there were Bays with fans from both clubs but you don't know this until you get to the game.

    Once the MCC, AFL and other group's seats are considered the allocation for club members will be relatively small.

    Hopefully the tickets for Carlton/Sydney go on sale on the Wednesday to avoid a total meltdown.   The other games' tickets will be sold by Ticketmaster.

    @Fear the beard will probably know more.

     

    Hi Mary, hope you’re well do you want my barcodes for the game

    Roger that. When I log into my membership info it’s just my barcode, so I’ll have to collect my Parents and Nephews info. 

    I got my email hours ago, but they are both claiming they have nothing yet.

    Along with our 3 reserved seat memberships with GF guarantees we also have 2 junior GA memberships. Can I use all 5 together at 10am tomorrow? Or do I need to wait for a later time to use the 2 Junior memberships?

    *I know I can't access category 1 or 2 with the junior memberships

    Yes, they will need to get barcodes from their mfc accounts.  The process I described works as that is how I got mine as I haven't received an email yet either.

    I may be wrong here but there are a few ticketek outlets where you can pick your seat. one in Exhibition street Melbourne. I live out in the country now but I used to look at the screen and pick my seats. Did the same in my country town before they closed down the outlet.

    Hi Andie,  I'm great thanks.  Hope you are also.

    I bought extra memberships this year so all up I have 6 barcodes so thanks for the offer. 

    I often think of your nephew and how happy he was to go to the 2021 GF.  It was a pleasure to help him get there.  Wish him well for me.

    Anyone know if as an AFL Member with Gold Status and Melbourne club support, if this grants me access to club member allocation? Would much rather sit with Melbourne members than in AFL Members.

    Apologies if this has already been answered. Can I buy tickets for non-members at all? Was hoping to bring my wife, parents and a couple mates expressing interest.

    Email says one ticket per barcode but can buy 10 tickets per transaction. I take that to mean all parties would need a membership?

    You'd be able to sit with him, just not in a category one or two seat.

    Pre-sale for members only 10am-2pm. General public tickets on sale at 3pm. If you all wanna sit together you'd have to wait until 3 to try, which might be a bit risky since they might've all but sold out by then.

    Brains Trust: 

    I have 2x junior barcodes from my kids’ memberships, but they won’t be coming (thanks for the Thursday AFL). 

    Can I share these junior barcodes with adult friends, or is it contingent on providing concession/proof of age? 
     

    TIA

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
