So hard to get a damn level 1 seat, every year it’s near impossible, missed out now 

vs Geelong 2018

vs hawks 2018

vs swans 2022

vs pies 2023

I was lucky enough to get a Ticket for the 2022 GF in the MCC ballot which I passed in after we got knocked out. 

 

 

Yep me too. We are the level 4 experts.

Anyone who pays for a Premium membership will tell you the value is great.

I have never missed out on a good finals ticket (except of course during Covid!), and I know that if we make a grand final I’ll be there as we are guaranteed a ticket. That to me is priceless, along with my wing reserved seat for home games, which I love and have held for 20 years.

What’s more all the money goes to the MFC, not the AFL.

What sort of Premium membership? Problem is there is a waiting list for most premium membership packages these days.

I’m an MCC member and pay an extra $200-something for a MCC/MFC premium membership (which gives three MCC guest passes which I use), which then enables me to buy a guaranteed grand final access (a further almost $300). That only helps for the grand final, doesn’t help me buy MFC tickets for any other final.

Evening @WalkingCivilWar, was it just me or did the Swans have their supporters behind both goal’s yesterday? Does this happen at other grounds?

Thanks

The Swans had their cheer squad behind the goals up one end.

Behind the goals at other end is the Sydney Members area so we were put a few bays around from the goals, in the pocket. This is an SCG thing.

Has always happened at Pork Barrel Park (GMHBA).

This is the other ground of the two where we can’t sit behind the goals. Geelong’s cheer squad sits up one end. The other end is the construction site so no one sits behind those goals. We're situated on the wing. Apparently when construction is complete their cheer squad plans to move to that end of the ground, giving us the bay they’re in now. How bloody magnanimous of them!!! 🙄

Anyone else in M2? Hoping it’s a Dees bay.

Where’s the cheersquad sitting @WalkingCivilWar?

 

🔴🔵

We’ll be in M3.

M2 and M4 are mixed… both teams’ supporters. I hope there’s more Dees than Pies in these bays, especially in the aisle seats. 😩

On what basis are m2 and m4 mixed. They were in our allocation and not collingwoods. They have m57 and m1 and then m5-m6.

Geez, go easy. I’m just going by last year’s finals. We had opposition supporters in both M2 and M4.

Got my ticket, m13, anyone else there? This may have been asked but which end is the cheer squad?

I presume you are talking sbiut in the MCC Reserve. If this is so why don't you try the MFC ticket sale if you are eligible. May not guarantee Level 1 but more choice possibly. 

Hope you got a ticket in the MCC Reserve higher up.

To be honest I’m responding to what I  heard from people calling talk back this morning. Collingwood fans saying they were Legends fans (I don’t know what that is, but assume it’s Trident equivalent) and they didn’t get through for  90 minutes and felt very annoyed about the investment. I empathised with that. 

The club is selling priority access membership for $30. It gives the highest priority for the first 3 weeks of the finals. Then for Gf that priority is level 3 (no idea what that means but I assume they’ll sell Gf tickets in a more tiered system). 👍

Its not Legends its LEGLESS FANS...!Totally peased and inbred ferals!

Anyone else not receive the email with the barcode?  Instead I received an sms at 9.56am yesterday; just 4 minutes before ticket sales opened. 

That isn't good enough for any member let alone a 20+ year Redleg member.

It was ok as I knew where to find the barcode in my mfc account but I feel for anyone who was caught out. 

I doubt it is human error as I received the email advice on Sunday saying to look out for the barcode email on Monday.  (BTW, I checked 'junk' mail just in case it went there).  There was a system glitch somewhere!! 

I've emailed the club as it would be awful for others to miss out on tickets because they didn't have/didn't know where to look for the barcode or received it at 9.56 am!!

Couldn’t agree more Jaded, I currently live in Sydney but am originally from Melbourne. This year is my 19th as a Redleg and my wife’s 2nd. We love sitting level 2 behind the goals (seen some great marks taken over the years) and when the ball goes up the other end we have TV’s to see the play. If we bring guests from opposing clubs we can sit level 2A. Last week we got two free tickets from the club to attend the Swans game all be it they weren’t the greatest seats IMO, but still grateful. Access to the function rooms plus quicker turn around when using the bathroom. I normally sit Level 2, N3 -N4 which is for Redlegs with non reserved seats. Yesterday I got seats in N2. If it’s an affordable option it’s definitely worth it.

Out of curiosity do you have a bigpond email? All the people with bigpond that I’ve spoken to didn’t received the email. My partner gets emails from Melbourne to her gmail and no problems. I got the text at 9:58z

Yes, I use bigpond.  So, their system has take a sudden dislike to bigpond!!!!

Assuming it is an AFL wide system I wonder how many Pies fans were caught out...not that I have any sympathy for them...the fewer there the better😀

Me too. No email. I even checked to make sure my email was right.

Funnily enough I got my ticket via the link in the text I received at 9:58, not my pc browser which I had been waiting on since 9:30

@Whispering_Jack and I didn't receive our emails. We previously received emails for ANZAC eve and KB. I was able to get them from our separate MFC accounts as well and we did receive the SMS moments before tickets went on sale but that is simply not good enough.

Two other family members did receive their emails.

I tweeted at the MFC Twitter account that I and many other Demonlanders didn't receive the emails on Monday and got no response.

I am tech savvy enough and knew to check my MFC account and to scour my old emails to get the info but many are not.

Really not good enough considering we received the email on Sunday to look out for the Barcode email on Monday.

What a nonsense that we don't get the emails, probably worthy of a call to the club.

it's probably some anti spam bot in the network (somewhere) that has mistaken the mailout as spam and blocked it.

expect more such ai based bot interference in the future

    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.

    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 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.
