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

    • 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.
