Just to remind everyone, that Essendon games at Telstra are TICKETED GAMES and you need to buy your tickets in advance.

Been warned.

    It's really very cheap to get a ticket if you've got a 17-game membership (which you should all have! ;)).

    A level 3 seat costs $3.25

    (Premium seats are around $27 if anyone is desperate to get a look at Matthew Lloyd's nose hair).

    Just make sure that when you book online, you enter your membership barcode.

    A perfect example of why we put in terrible away crowds...

    I haven't missed a game this year, and if it was a home game i wouldn't miss it either.

    Considering i already have a booking on that night i think ill keep it.

    If i didn't already have the booking i'd go, not too easy to get a friday night or saturday booking, this one was booked a month in advance.

    It's actually disgusting how TD works. Thank goodness we haven't gone that way - I would be so [censored] off if I was an Essendon supporter. They are consistently over-charging and shutting out fans, when there is an emply facility down the road. It epitomises what has happened to ruin this once great game. I am an AFL MFC club support member, and there is not a ticket available at all 2 weeks before the event. The Ticketmaster website is a piece of s*it, so it's trial and error on any other tickets. I am currently on hold to ticketmaster, have been for 30 minutes and counting. They talk at you and give you all their terms and conditions, and it is just a totally unsatisfactory situation.

    I can, it appears, buy expensive general admission tickets. It's the biggest fraud going around that AFL membership gives you access to every game in Melbourne. SO ANGRY

    Just went down to Ticketmaster and bought a ticket for $5.50 on the top level. Great seat, second row on the aisle. Got nothing to complain about. Infact couldn't be happier.

    Nope.

    We got ours already as I had to get tickets for both Melbourne and Essendon members.

    Lol no smart arse, I know melbourne "supporters" who say "Oh that is an away game, so it's ok if I do Activity B instead that day". But I know condemned is a good supporter and is now doing the right thing. :)

    lol just joshin ya.

    but in all honesty, i dont care what they do at away games as long as they make ALL homegames they can. crowds at away games are good, but no where near as important...

    In the same breath though madness, i sometimes have to give up a away game to keep the overlord happy.

    Though i have a great overlord, who maybe once a year (sometimes never) wants me to do something with her, but knows that home games are a no no.

    Well that only pisses me off 100 times more. It said there was no tickets at all for AFL members, so I rang them, waited some stupid amount of time on Ticketmaster, to be told I have to book general admission. Then they release more. I went to to book best available on level 3 GA, and went backwards and forwards on the browser for 20 minutes until they actually did give me the best seats available - instead of the pocket. Of course, I could have booked on the phone... for a small fee of $7.50.

    Seriously, TD is a disgrace. Only a few weeks ago they weren't letting people out. It's one big television studio, they lie about attendances, the 2nd level sits half empty whilst others have to sit at the top of the 3rd level, and the AFL won't move games like Hawthorn v Essendon, despite promises to do so. They had a disgusting playing surface for years. It's about money, not the fans. Embarrassment. It really is the blister on the AFL's ass.

    They shouldn't move the games.

    Clubs like Essendon knew the size of the stadium when they signed on so stuff them, if they lose money because 20,000 people cant get in then thats there fault for having a home ground that holds 55,000 max.

    Jaded you know alot about footy and stuff ... this may be a very dumb question but if its a ticketed match it means you cant buy a ticket at the gate right???

    because im one of the lazy people that buy tickets at the last minute would i be able to do that for melb n essedon game???

    I'm pretty sure that you can buy a ticket at the gate, but the reason why it is a ticketed game is because it could be a sell-out, so they encourage you to pre-book a ticket.

    Being lazy is not really a good excuse.

    Just go to the website, buy a ticket, and if you have a printer choose the 'print ticket' option. You virtually get to sit on your arse while your tickets come to you (and you don't even have to pay extra).

    It's not that difficult... pffft men! :rolleyes:;)

    Well I'm lazy, I always get my ticket at the game and never have a problem, you never know, something might come up and you've wasted money...

    It essentially means there's allocated seating.

    If you have a valid membership you can - as always, pending availability - secure a level 3 seat on the day but you need to collect a ticket from a ticketing booth (at no cost) as opposed to just scanning your m/ship.

    Likewise the general public can get a level 3 seat on the day if tickets are still available.

    (and you don't even have to pay extra).

    It's not that difficult... pffft men! :rolleyes:;)

    Actually you do have to pay extra - iirc the booking fee is ~$5. If I did this every second week I'd be paying 1/3 of my yearly membership all over again just for the 'privilege' of securing a decent seat.

    This of course is only an option if you can purchase online/over the phone (eg. have a credit card).

    If you choose to print the ticket, you won't be charged any handling fees.

    At least I wasn't...

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
