very interesting... the bank account could suffer now. any details on it? thanks heaps

Just that they want to make sure they sell the tickets so they've opened up a new bracket in pricing.

This seating will be "non-preferred" but all seating in the crown palladium will be fine. Also all "preferred seating" tables will have a club player or "hero" this isn't a feature of the non-preferred seating.

The club has done it's best to make this seating affordable as they can, but the cost of putting the event on is considerable, given the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will be performing and it is held in the Crown Palladium, so while it is still quite expensive, the night should be an amazing one.

Before I spoke to him, I set myself a limit that I was willing to pay, which was $300. But I think I'm going to cop the extra $50 and attend.

There will never be a Melbourne FC function like this again, so I really don't want to miss it.

Why doesn't the club raffle a table?

Offers some supporters the chance to attend who normally would not be able to.

I can't afford $500 but will definitely buy $10 or so of raffle tickets for a chance to go. Sell more than $5000 of raffle tickets and club comes out on top.

I called the club today and bought my ticket. I've got a friend coming along too. Really looking forward to it now. Should be a fantastic night.

If you're not sure if you want to go, watch the ad again... listen to the music, it will be an epic night, I have a feeling... $350 tickets are still available...

The club should put this dinner on for free considering the amount of people who have laughed at me for barracking for melbourne all my life! From my days at school in the seventies right up to last week!! $500 you must be joking!!

Two other points about this dinner, which I also thought was too expensive. A selection team has chosen the best 150 players still alve and they, and their wives/partners, are receiving freebies.The more I think about it, that's fair enough isn't it? BUT it adds considerably to the cost. The MSO will not be playing live-but they will have recorded music for the occasion.
Come on! Let's support it if we can, especially at the new offer of $350
Tickets are now available for $350... get on board...

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
