They say you can scan in with H & A membership on the night DAG, but it doesn’t say on the ticketek map where GA is allocated. 

I posted those areas above, the mcg will formally name the ga areas the day before the game on their website

I was under the assumption that Anzac Day Eve was a fully ticketed game?

That’s what was announced. It’s since changed (as of this afternoon) and is no longer fully ticketed.

Yep. Ticket sales aren’t nearly where they should be.

Really? It’s never been a fully ticketed game in the 8 years we’ve had it.

Last year was 83.9k and the general public sales were worse than they are this year. It’s the MCC that is looking like a disaster considering it’s a category 1 game. 
 

Will still be around the 70k mark which is what queens birthday always was.

If some members like DC can’t go to a home replacement game because she can’t sit in her cosy reserved seat how is she ( or likeminded members) likely to rough it with the Tiger types in GA. 

With great respect it’s more likely that our mob are missing in action than worrying about 10/15, 000 Tigs who may have dropped off.

Living interstate, I've only been able to get to one of these games.

If you are umming ( sorry Binners) about going to this game, let me assure you it was one of the best games I have attended.

We lost ( Injuries took a toll). Richmond were a dominant side then as well.

But it's the pre match stuff that makes it. The ceremony of mobile phones and the last post.

It's heart in mouth stuff . It's humbling and pride filling at the same time. It's hairs rising on the back of your neck as well.

I guarantee it will fill you with gratitude and patriotism .

And I'm pretty sure we will win this.

Although despite the tigers form I guess with the crowd and occasion there could be an upset.

Nah.

Enjoy.

Look i dont like having pot shots at other Demonland members but i also cant stand the thought of not going to a game because the other team is too feral or we have to sit on level 4.

In the 2022 which was a Richmond home game there was a massive Melbourne turnout, probably the biggest of the year and it was our away game. It will be the same this year, the vast majority of public seats being sold will be Melbourne members that dont have access plus 95% of the MCC will be Melbourne.

Im expecting 35K of them, 30K of us and 5K neutrals.

Richmond announced it was to be a fully ticketed game. The AFL and MCC weren’t having any of that and so now it’s been decided it’s not fully ticketed.

Some media peeps reckon our match is more poignant and captivating than the ANZAC Day match, given it’s a night match. I was lucky enough to be out on the ground last year (only half our banner crew got to participate since it’s a shared banner therefore half the banner crew are Richmond), and it’s an experience rivalled only by being out there on KB. That said, I’ve a feeling the crowd will be smaller this year than it’s been of late.

Hands down the best game of the H&A season, with regards to our fixture. Sadly I haven't been to one for the past three seasons, but the pre-game ceremony is incredibly moving and poignant. Watching it on the tube just doesn't do it justice at all. I'd implore all those who are able to make it, to attend and genuinely recommend making an effort to get to one of these matches if you've never been.

Agree with those peeps although Never been to an ANZAC day game.

And I'm sure I never will.

I've watched a lot of them. They get massive crowds( but so does our night game). They have more history I suppose.

But the thing is being in the dark with all the mobiles on and the chill in the air and the spotlights...our game seems to have an edge the day  game simply doesn't.

I expect it to be at least as big as the day game if it's not already and in a short amount of time. 

Must be nice to see it all from the middle. There will still be a big crowd. Enjoy.

As a side note our ANZAC guernsey is absolutely stunning. One of our best so far. 

Sure is.

AFL and MCC are completely correct, this game has always relied on a massive GA turnout.

On a side note WCW, and I reckon this would annoy you too, I did notice that M33 rows U-Back were on sale as a dry bay from the the original onsale, meaning Richmond still wont give the Demon Army the whole bay. Seems like every other team we are away against lets us have the whole of M33 or M3 if its a Collingwood home game.

A cold night game where the best I can get us level 4 means it's TV for me. 

It's not looking bad weather wise OD. Top of 19.. Low of 11 and light winds.

Might head along with my AFL membership and brave GA in the AFL section assuming they've left a few bays

Annoyed is an understatement. Richmond has given us a paltry allocation and any hope of them giving us more is gone now that they’ve sold the rest of the bay. Our ticketing team has been royally stuffed around, and now the unenviable task of telling many DA members they won’t be able to sit with us. I hate Collingwood as much as the next person but at least they give us a decent allocation when it’s their home game, and they let us use M3.

If you put your barcode in now, there are 2 single seats in P21 that just went on sale...

I am devastated to be missing this game, if you can go, even if you can't get a decent seat, go. I've been to every single one of these and it is an absolutely brilliant experience, plus I think we will win!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
