Tickets to the KB game.

Recommended Posts

As a member with Away access I received an email from the club today saying as a ticketed event I would not be able to use my card but I could reserve a ticket. 
There’s stuff all available. I guess that the CFC reserve the bulk of tickets as the Tigers did initially.

If you’re planning to attend and you don’t have MCC or AFL membership it’d be an idea to jump on to Ticketek and see what’s available. Very little I suspect (back rows of Southern and Ponsford and two bays on level one Northern).

There’s no level 1 availability, those two bays have wheelchair accessibility which is why they show up as available.

a thread was made weeks ago that this game was going to be sold out shortly.

So much for my premium membership giving me access to all home and away games. Firstly Pork Barrel Park was removed, then ANZAC eve (temporarily), Pies …. Bombers and Pies (again)?

Well not the Essendon and other Collingwood game because they are our home games and if you have premium membership I assume you have a reserved seat.

For MCC members I believe reserved seats and guest passes go on sale 28th of this month

Not surprised there are limited seats.   I purchased two reserved seats in late February when the earlier rounds were released

I understand the frustration but for games expected to have big crowds they don't have GA and the club communicated to members in February about purchasing tickets when the AFL opened everything up. 

Make sure you look out for it next year!

All well and good, but I only want standing room (Southern stand) but I’m forced to pay for a seat. Like finals tickets, you’re only able to purchase a standing room ticket after all seats have been sold.

Having access to away games is being eroded more each year. First they scrapped entry to Kardinia Park, sold a game to the NT (no consolation getting free entry to the Hawks game as I already had that) and now more and more games are becoming ticketed. Fewer ‘free’ games but my premium membership goes up in price each year.

My tip for KB is 85k - similar to ANZAC eve when there was heaps of space, especially in standing room.

So wait for all seats to sell out. Will be end of the week and then they will put restricted view seats on sale. Buy one of those (will be very cheap) and just stand

Valid points about the standing room, and I agree about the premium membership.

I'm in redlegs and they give us an option to reserve a seat on Level 1 for free for the Hawthorn replacement homegame. I'd rather pay and extra $20 on my membership if needed and get a LVL 2 seat.

Why on earth do they call it a 16 game membership when there's at least one MCG game where I can't get in without coughing up more hard-earned ?

As ****ty as it is (and a lot of us still remember the days where we played in front of 19k at the g against interstate sides and a max of 45k against bigger Melbourne teams) it is the price we have to pay of being involved in a game that is on track to draw 88k+ people.

It does also say in the terms and conditions:

  • Additional fees and charges may apply with match access. Entry is subject to capacity and may not be guaranteed.

I can see a time in the near future where we can't get any access to this when it's Collingwood's home game. The AFL wants all memberships to be reserved seat memberships (like Essendon at Docklands) which would mean no access for opposition supporters.

I was happy to have a reserved seat membership, then they doubled the price by forcing you to pay for the grand final guarantee as well. If this is the desired future, they need to let people build their own packages.

Ultimately the club loses out, as evidenced by the sparsely populated reserved seat areas this season.

I have a reserved seat membership and I can’t get a ticket to this game. I needed to book back in Feb and pay a lot of money to get a somewhat decent seat. Considering my membership is almost $700 a year, that’s not good enough IMO. But I understand this isn’t on the club. Collingwood has a lot of members and they get priority at their home games.

No doubt about it. And then scalping will be on the cards again.

Then they should call it "up to 16 games membership". Be up front and honest rather than use the fine print to disclaim

But I get your point about being relevant in front of large crowds, that is very true

I have an opportunity to go, unfortunately it is right in the middle of the Collingwood Members, (I did this a couple of years ago and was only person wearing red up that end), this year I might politely decline considering I'm not sue if I could contain myself anytime that No 4 goes near the ball, and it could get very ugly.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
