I wouldn't have called that a rant, but ok....  🤷‍♂️

On the bolded bit, I have MFC nominated on my AFL membership, but I don't pay any extra for that. That's just a kickback the club gets from the AFL, which then means I'm counted amongst MFC member numbers and get the MFC membership pack. 

Thats it.

Nominating a club of support doesn't give me more of a chance of getting a ticket to MFC finals game vs other AFL members who support a non competing club. And nor should it IMO. That's what club membership and things like GF guarantee are for.

If anything it puts me at a disadvantage of getting a ticket vs club members. Week 1 & week 2 I should be fine, but prelim will be difficult and GF impossible.

Sorry I actually meant to say @leave it to deever as you were responding to his post.

Well the MCC is a different kettle of fish, they own the place so the AFL is just a guest.

I guess it is just a niche thing here in Australia. I don't recall any similar arrangements for seat allocation in other professional sports (e.g. NFL, La Liga, EPL).

Of course its a niche thing to have:

• None of those leagues have a stadium that 5 teams use as its home ground 
• None of those leagues play games with any empty seats (excluding maybe the Texans/Dolphins/Jags in the NFL)
• There is a certain away area/amount of seats for away supporters to purchase

Meanwhile we have a stadium that no single club can fill on its own accord during the Home and Away season. The concept of AFL membership has a place in Victoria where it doesn't elsewhere. I don't think its fair to compare the AFL with any of those leagues.

I assume that you are in the Southern Stand? If so then Yes but only just. If the wind is blowing towards you then you may get wet. You will probably need a coat anyway for either before or after the match and getting to and from your transportation.

[Deebymistake 790]

We are falling like flies.  I too am sick and can no longer go.  Ticket is Q54 row A seat 11.  Please someone enjoy it! No cash needed.   EDIT.  I believe the seat is under cover!

I'm a late exclusion with a shocking virus. Ripper premium member seat in M50 row U.

Happy to give to any regulars or you can donate towards my meds!

[Dr. Gonzo 24,436]

Bloody hell I had the virus that's going around last week and it wasn't fun! Still getting over it 2 weeks after first symptoms so I sympathise with those who have copped it - I don't think I wouldve made it if the game was last Thursday.

Same boat Gonzo. Mine came about the week of the Sydney game the appeared to go away but got these lingering aches. 

[RyanD 290]

The other question I have is will it mostly be Melbourne members in section N14 GSS?

FINAL ROWS

Geez.  Alot of you guys are falling ill. Transition from cold Melb winters to Spring maybe. Happens here in Bangkok too. I always get a nasty cold when temp suddenly switches from humid to mild with heavy rain.

I hope the players havent been going out in the evenings.

Melbourne and Pies 1st 18 teams look pretty awesome.

Dees have the edge on the I/C bench. Goodwin definitely going for experience. Should be a humungus game close to 100k.

Winner likely to go all the way.

💯 exactly this time last year was feeling like I was on deaths bed but I blame 2 years of being locked up by our incompetent government for the increases of people getting really sick.

I never got sick and if I did I'd be over it in a day or 2 but now it takes weeks and I'm doing nothing different than I used to.

Free seat on level 4 Olympic (It's a Junior) but nobody will stop you. PM

Damn I was hoping this section would be undercover.  First time I've sat on that level and assumed it'd still be back far enough to be under the roof.

Depending on the direction of the rain, row F (which is last row) usually doesnt get wet. 

[JTR 2,883]

Ok fingers crossed!  Thanks FTB  👍

(I'm row E)

Anyone have any issues getting the Ticketek SMS with links to the tickets? I’m getting the reminder to save the ticket to my wallet, except no SMS with tickets.

it should have been sent a few minutes after you purchased tix i think. That might be a follow up SMS?
