The MCG has seen multiple games that have been "fully ticketed" with the whole ground sold out and the crowds for those games have been 74k

FTB, which game was the 74K? That's really low for a fully ticketed event.

    RD24 Essendon V Collingwood. Obviously the Essendon reserved seat areas were not full and the game ended up as a dead rubber but the concept of Fully ticketed events do not work.

    The two best crowds of the season imo was Anzac Eve and KB eve getting 83.9K and 83.5K respectively. They were that large because there were massive GA turnouts for both games.

    There will probably be 90,000 at the MCG for this finals match between Melbourne and Collingwood.

    At least that's my prediction. 🤔

    I'm a life fan but live overseas now, so the only way that makes sense to support the club is through merch and a 3 game membership. Not ideal but words can't express how good it feels to be heading back to watch this game!

    Safe travels and hope we win over the 3 weeks!!

    Without a doubt every time I try to get finals tickets it only works on a mobile. Never on PC

    And for me the opposite. I do it on my laptop at work. Wonder if the standard of wifi at my work has something to do with it, large organisation. I had my data mobile going too and had nadda response

    Go figure!

    Ultimately your numbers are completely incorrect.

    MCC is 23K, AFL is about 17K for finals with Medallion club getting 4k (within the AFL reserve). The afl loses Q28 for finals.

    That leaves 56K left for the rest of the ground.

    The reason the ground doesn't get to 100K is because additional standing room areas become available for the GF, Corporate boxes won't be completely full like they are for a GF, Medallion Club won't be completely full and there will be no shows.

    The MCG has seen multiple games that have been "fully ticketed" with the whole ground sold out and the crowds for those games have been 74k, 76K, 78k, 80k, 83.5k and 95K. It is so hard to get to capacity.

    Interesting FTB. Where are the standing bays they only open for the GF?

    I had the mobile on 5G and the PC on Wi-Fi and got in first on mobile, but timed out trying to sort our 3x tickets. Fortunately straight after that the PC let me in and I managed to get 3 tickets in pretty much the same spot I always go, so I consider that an absolute win.

    No luck for me, can't even buy a single ticket in standing or restricted view.

    I've got a junior on level 4 if you want it.

    Thanks for the offer but I think I'll make plans to watch it at home with family and try my luck with our next final.

    I feel I may have stuffed it. When it stated there wasn't enough tickets in Cat 5, I changed category down to Cat 6 and applied for the same amount of tickets. However I think it didn't remove the tickets from Cat 5. It timed out before I realised.

    Managed to get 3 GA tickets together on level 4 bay Q7. Had to wait for the public tickets as my partner isn’t a member yet

    Getting 3 tickets was hard. MCC just complete failure. MFC couldn’t get 3 together when requiring one visitor. Wound up in general admission level 4 nose bleeds. Better than nothing!

    I see and hear a lot of members from both sides bemoaning the lack of access for members with Priority seats. The issue is around how hard it is to get through, not the access once they are in.

    I do find it frustrating that they can’t allocate members different time slots. Especially when the club was selling access this week, and undermining the value of memberships most of us have paid for and used for the last 7 months. 

    Would it kill Ticketek to give priority seating access its own hour?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
