What is interesting (read disappointing) is that when you look at the seating map that the AFL members reserve has actually expanded towards the Punt Rd goals. What I mean by this is where my reserved seat was for the home and away season (bay 15) is now allocated to the AFL. 

 Disappointing for two reasons. More seats allocated to AFL members (presuming dominated by ferals) and less seats left for the general public to access.

Everyone is equal, but the some that are less equal than others gradually seem over a period of time to become even less equal.  Little by little.

Getting tickets has been more stressful than watching the match will be!

If we serve up the poor efforts from the straight sets finals losses last year I'll spew. That was so deflating, and this time round we'll have the filth fans to deal with.

I think junior members by default are not allocated to Priority/Premium seats so you'll have to both sit together in the regular Melbourne members seats areas

well i figured it out in the end. rookie error by me. Trying to buy two tickets - separated barcodes by hitting 'enter' and not spacing them out. re-read email, it was there but in the heat of the moment, did see the fine print. 

Q50 BB. would have been E or F if i had worked it out earlier.

Agree LT took ages to get in cat1 already gone, applied for cat2, got timed out, got straight back in got 6  x Cat 2 tickets together on L1, so very stressed but very very happy in the end.!!!

Presumably we will dominate the MCC 70/30. Assume equal allocation of club members to both sides and if they take the 80/20 of AFL reserve, then it should be a pretty balanced turnout.

Now that’s over….

Had a mini heart attack, after going to purchase my tickets it took me to the select seats screen again, I re entered my barcodes 3 times but it wouldn’t accept them, then I thought it won’t because they’ve already been used. So then I hit the arrow to go back which was a risk but after going back 2 times there were my tickets, level 2, section N2 behind the goals. Pretty much where I sit during the H&A season.
Feeling blessed right now.

My son is trying to get seats for my family and had good ones, ground level behind the goals at the Punt Road end but he put the credit card in incorrectly and it rejected it and when he tried his own credit card it said those tickets have gone.

That's one of the biggest problems with having an apostrophe in your last name, it refuses to recognize it.

I’m pumped now. I hope the Melbourne fans rock up with full voice like we did in 2018 because that was crazy. I was at the Sydney game and I just felt as though the fans were a bit timid. Different feel to it this year.

We have to be because I guarantee the moment our boys run out the feral fans will be booing & hopefully we don't have to hear there colllingwooood chant.

We need to be loud because we already know the ferals will be

seriously what a [censored] system. how can i sit next to my son ?

Yeah it's infuriating. It took me 9 minutes to figure out that you need to put two "passwords" (BAR CODES ARE NOT PASSWORDS!!!) in, with a return between them. I lost my first ten minute window because of this.

That map is for the Grand Final only. For weeks 1-3 of finals it follows the standard seating plans: https://d35kvm5iuwjt9t.cloudfront.net/pdf/AFL/MCG-01279-Ticketing_Map-2023_Week_1-3_Finals.pdf

But I agree, disappointing the AFL Reserve is slowly expanding into the Public Reserve

Relax...we won't.

Sorry to tell you...you will have to go through the ticket process again for our next final(s).

    Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5 The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
