Thank Luci. That's not the message i get. Mine says something something unexpected error. Try again later. 

By office, do you mean the window they open on game da near gate 3?

If so, that was my plan. But my suspicion is there will be many people needing assistance. But perhaps 2 hours early is bit much!

An issue is i have a reserved seat, which i'm hoping to be able to access. A GA pass will get me in, but not provide evidence of my seat.  

Its amazing the number of different messages that are happening!!

Yes, that window is the spot!  I reckon they would give you a pass that matches your membership (they have access to the membership data base)  so you should get your reserved seat.

Like @george_on_the_outer this year I opted for a plastic card as back up.

Just get a plastic ticket..

1. Don’t have to deal with Ticketek. Either this round or all of the remaining games. They WILL stuff up again.

2. Readers, apps, and phones are all dependent upon the electronics working. We all know they WILL fail at some point.

3. Stop giving information to the AFL, Ticketek, or some bot ex China about where you are and whether you are going.

4. Much easier to burn the plastic card than your phone…and cheaper, when you get fed up with team performance.

Yes. I ticked thst box, and had one last year.

But despite auto renewing have not received anything from the club- no card, no letter confirming payment, no email. Nada. Zip.

Of course  I should have chadef it up before now - but I shouldn't have to.

Particularly for the coin involved

Ah right so did you purchase their memberships through the club? 

The kids memberships for ours came through auskick and the local team so I haven't seen a way to link them to my Demons membership

Yes I did it thru the club. In your instance I think you just have to sit in any GA area where it's not reserved

A cameo visit to DL for rescue before tomorrow.  So thanks DLers!  However, some things worked but then they stopped working.

So had to try other methods, 

Binman, if this is the error message you received click on OK and it should take you to the tickets screen and your ticket will be there.  Or click ok and if it takes you to the menu page click on 'mobile membership' and the ticket should be there.

Failing all that and for the benefit of other DLers, several other things I tried were:

• to login thru the mfc website which worked sometimes and I could then access the tickets in the app, sometimes I couldn't.
• turned the phone off/on and I think that worked ... a bit hard to tell if it worked as I was trying other methods at the same time.

Hopefully, one of the above will work for you and others.

 

Binman, rather than go 2 hours early just go to the mfc office (between gate 3 and 4) and they will give you a pass for the day and you can sort the app out at your leisure. 

Go dees!

 

Edit:  As extra safeguard save the ticket to 'wallet' or take a screenshot which saves the ticket to the 'gallery' ... just in case the app fails when at the G

Can you buy MFC member guest passes today at the MFC Office (between gate 3 and 4)?

Same issue with me.. I see this. Have tried uninstalling & reinstalling multiple times. The login works with ticketmaster, but not the app. And no response from club via socials. so bloody frustrating.

That's exactly the same message w I get too.

And like a good automaton, I keep trying again later.

My Melbourne FC app popped up with a notification this morning, telling me how to access barcodes and acknowledging an issue. What a balls up.

 

I am fortunate to be an MCC member and never use my MFC barcode for game day at the MCG. As such, I have 3 barcodes going unused today. If anyone needs them, DM me. My tickets are viewable via the MFC app after logging into my ticketmaster account

Greetings my phonetic namesake 😊 

Apologies for late response - I don't venture onto DL very often these days and only just saw your notification.

Not sure guest passes can be bought there.   Last year they could only be ordered/paid for directly with the club and then collected at the ground.

For future reference, this year guest passes can be purchased on line. 

One would think they could email/sms/mobile app the guest passes back but no, we still need to line up at the ground to collect them.  Still in the dark ages !!!

 

Lou.C - you can be DL's new Luci !!!  😉

Many thanks for this info L.H. This and your kindred spirit is much appreciated.

I did see the email with the link to purchase guest passes online but by Sunday it was apparently too late use this facility.

As luck would have it, I managed to obtain a guest pass for my daughter simply by lobbing up to the friendly MFC staff at gate 3 on Sunday at about 11:30 am and they were happy to sell me a child's members guest pass for $10. Good value I reckon! 

After collecting the guest pass, we shared some lamb with garlic and chips from one of the outdoor food vans, then went to the kids activities between gates 2 & 3, and my daughter enjoyed traversing the inflatable obstacle, climbing the rock wall in harness, face painting, receiving a couple of give-aways, buying a MFC cap and Max Gawn badge, all before entering the MCG. During the game she told me she was quite anxious as she REALLY wanted Melbourne to win. We were both so glad when the result was as decisive as it was in Melbourne's favour.

We went down to the fence at the end of the game and Big Benny Brown came right over to us with a couple of footys in hand. Whilst we didn't get one of those, it was just great to be so close the fine young man and his big smile after a great win over the Doggies.

After the train ride home and returning home, my daughter told me quietly that she really enjoyed the day at the footy.

Me too I said, me too!

 

 

As a Demon Member who is overseas, i find it appalling that all this new Technology is failing. Anyone should still be able to make a late decision and say “let’s go to the game..” and you go

it’s just so bad that Members have paid good coin and then have to put up with these Apps that don’t work 

i just wish each club handled their own Members 

This is just more AFL Game Day Experience RUBBISH 

Do they still play Music between each Quarters at ear splitting levels so that you can’t talk to anyone??

Couldn't agree more.

I've learned to switch off the ear splitting music but pretty sure its still happening.

One thing that was an improvement was a solo Robbo on the mic for the entertainment between quarters.

His screachy side kick that sounded like nails running down a chalk board in 22 & 23 was NOT present.  Small mercies!

You can be sure that nothing will change. That new AFL CEO Andrew Dillon is an absolute wet blanket

There is nothing worse than AFL suits

Has anyone been able to transfer a membership ticket using the app this week? club told me the option would be there 24-48 hours before the game but we’re now 6 hours before the game and I still can’t do it.. tickets are in the app but I can’t send them
