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.

It did last year, but would confirm in your MFC account. They may give you a separate barcode for the Melbourne allocation.

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)?

Look away now. 
Prelim cat 1 tickets are $200

Yeah you'll be able get tickets for all five tomorrow, probably up in Q.

Thanks Ben.

Now my dilemma is do I get 3 good seats and then go through the process again to get 2 cheaper seats or just get all 5 together to avoid extra time and stress

My sister received her Barcode Email at 2:15pm today

I have not received my email and I always get that email and have never opted out of emails from the Footy club.

Luckily my barcodes were available from the Dees Website and luckily I remembered my password.

Hopefully there is just a lag with the emails being pumped out and received but if some members who always get the emails don't then there is something seriously wrong with the process and is not on from a professional organisation.

Hopefully Ticketek doesn't melt down tomorrow.

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. 

Luci, you’re a legend. 👍 All sorted. Now I just have to actually get the tickets!

Jesus wept. I love how the AFL knows what a junkie I am and increasingly jacks up the price for a fix.

I still have PTSD from the Taylor Swift situation. That was 3 days I’m never getting back, followed by a traumatic conversation with my 10 year old niece.

Worst. Uncle. Ever.

[Older demon 2,736]

If not mentioned earlier the bun fight starts at 9 am with MCC members tickets going online. 1 visitors ticket per member

Dang. Well it sounds like there were plenty in the same boat at least.

iirc that 2 hour window was prior to tickets being sold to non-members or to the public.

Even that was a disaster last year as any member could purchase 10 tickets on one membership even though those people weren't members.

We were playing the Swans week 1, they we’re trying to maximise numbers.

Yes, however it meant any supposed priority access went out the window when non-members could get tickets ahead of any member let alone premium members.

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 

they never seem to check. i know many people who have done just that.

[layzie 33,724]

Seems like only a smattering of people have got their barcodes. Need to get 3 tickets tomorrow and the other two don't have theirs yet.

[daisycutter 29,596]

note that cateegory 4, 5, 6, 7  are all up on level 3 (nothing on levels 1, 2)

only exception is the 2 cheer squad reservations, being category 7 (which is fair enough).

fwiw I still don't have the email with the barcode.

There is an option:  ask them to get their barcodes from mfc website:

Just go to the mfc website, click on the 'membership' tab then login (the login is to the tickemaster website).  The barcodes appear straight away or will be in the 'membership details' tab.

got all my 3

Bought 2 of the last chance access membership for the kids. Membership team are saying there's a system error and have given me barcodes at adult rates instead of junior! Will sting a little as adults are 3-4x junior prices. Not sure what to do at this point given tickets are on sale tomorrow.

just try and buy junior tickets (it might work)

i have mixed up the ticket vs membership before and it didn't seem to matter

I think it's different for finals, where the ticket type is linked to the membership category unfortunately. Will see tomorrow though
