Cool. We're row x which I guess will be slightly undercover. Not that it matters with 26 degrees forecast for Friday. We couldn't get into the site quickly enough to get level 2 unfortunately. 

I've only been to the MCG twice. Never sat so low down. We are about J rows back. I'm assuming M55 is a good bay.

I got M12 for my family: we’re usually on 2A during the H&A season, but I guess it’s hard to grab 5 seats together in those areas?

Same 3183, but there’s 3 of us. I think the odd numbers stitched us up. M12 will be rocking on Friday night 👍

Not a bad one at all, enjoy!

I'm a premium member and have been for nigh on 30 years.
Have been happy to stand in Bay 13 (M9) every MCG game including the 1988 and 2000 GF's. 
Had a seat in the back row level 4 last week and had to bluff my way into M9 standing as they were checking tickets.
Didn't want to risk the same thing happening on Friday night.
Got front row N9.
The irony.

We're just a few rows behind you Bonkers and on the other end of the aisle. Pretty good seats all said.

Yup, If you can't get anything on level 2 that's as good as you'll get I think.

They split the bays on level 4 into 3 sections.

In the southern stand it would be (using Q2 as an examples):

  • Q2 - Rows A-J
  • Q2-1 Rows K-T
  • Q2-2 Rows U-DD

They essentially reflect the categories of the tickets, so Q2-2 I think is category 7?

We eventually got what we wanted in Level 4 behind the PRE goals.  Against Collingwood we had Row A but the metal bar obscures the view.  The system kept trying to give us A again in all the Bays I tried until I guess some tickets sold.  We're in B which should be better.

Premium allocation for the public is Category one.
That's 9 bays on level one in the Southern stand and about 32 bays on level 2 (Olympic, Southern and Ponsford stands).
The clubs have numerous coterie groups, sponsors,  and the like. They get level two seats.
Each player is allocated 4 tickets but can purchase up to 6 others. I think they get level two seats. Happy to be corrected.
And on it goes.
I reckon your chances of getting a Category one seat on level two is very slim.

Hey FTB. Great work as per usual.

Is there a source online where you can tell if your seat is an aisle seat, aside from the 3D views provided by the MCG.

For example is row V seat 23 in Q1-2 an aisle seat?

You can jump onto the virtual venue: https://mcg.io-media.com/web/index.html

Select your bay and closest row and then find the row you are in and count the seats :).

Having just looked for you, there are 23 seats in that bay at row V, However, Q1 has a tiny one seat section next to it, so you may be one seat off the aisle.

 

 

Well done to everyone who brought tickets, the boys will really need it on the weekend.

I sat in M55 for the Pies game. i usually sit on level 2 (or 4 in the Ponsford) so not a huge fan of ground level seats. But i had a terrific view.

I was in row S, which is reasonably well elevated (the first row is always A)

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
