MCC far from smooth, at one point I was able to order a visitor pass but no reserved seat, then just a reserved seat, then allocation exhausted before rejoining the queue. Ended up in Q36 which has been taken over by the MCC for the night, Reserve will be chcokas.

Ah fair enough, hadn't seen that.

Surprised nobody's yet mentioned BT's little stuff up on Friday pumping up the Eagles for their big heart of the nation clash on Alice Springs against Adelaide next round...

The scourge of delivery drivers blindly following their GPS strikes again!

I guess there's always the chance not everyone will take up their tickets in the higher category for whatever reason. MCC / MFC dual members may already have been successful in the MCC ballot for instance.

probably not. Is the elder statesman's membership a concession? Does he receive any welfare?

Prefer our grossly exaggerated stereotype than that of a Collingwood, Richmond or Power supporter

The bays are printed on the ticket just like the seating bays.

MCC are advising they're in M3.

Just tried best available, came up with Q54 row P which is a pretty good view. Only 14 rows back, you'll be surprised when you exit the vomitory how near you are to the front. We were row N last Friday, a few bays around. That said, aim for the Olympic Stand. The very back row is PP to put it in perspective.

Try again, still category 5, 6 and 7 available. On twitter Ticketek are saying the queuing starts at the insane time, not before hand. Good luck!

How does that work? Tickets are on sale Monday and aren't from the Demon Shop. ?

Looks as if they released some more yesterday, still some singles available lower categories, limited 5 and managed to get 4 in Q36 cat 6 just now.

First time this season the law applies to all finals. Curious though, there's still tickets available through Ticketek, who'd buy from a reseller?

Correct, M3.

Would also suggest we won't be getting over 70K for this game. don't forget there's only about 50,000 tickets available once MCC (which will be heaving) and AFL reserves are taken into account. Have public sales even started yet?

Yes, but we chose to site there. Row K I think, bang on the wing. Much prefer the first third of level 4 to level 1 seating. But that's just me and my mob.

Easily got three tix Q49 12 rows in. I'll be taking a Geelong fan so hopefully he feels like being deep in enemy territory. Not fussed about level 4, usually sit in tridents so prefer being up high to ground level. Let's not forget MCC reserved seats and visitor passes sold out very quickly, I'm tipping the reserve will be at capacity, crowd should easily be 70,000 plus.

Listen to the first couple of lines again. Very carefully. Talks about his playing days for St Kilda coming full circle. Supporter, plays for Melbourne, then Footscray, then back to St Kilda where his interest in coaching begins. http://m.afl.com.au/video/2018-08-29/bevos-journey-with-the-game

Think you're getting a bit upset over nothing. He talks about his first experience being in the crowd at Linton St as an eight year old watching Trevor Barker, then when he was traded to St Kilda, Barker was one of the coaches. Being an East Bentleigh boy, he was zoned to us, but like many locals, barracked for St Kilda. In '89, he won the reserve's b and f and best first year player in the seniors.

Been to quite a few games in Geelong but not Saturday's. Have stood on the terrace, GA seats and reserved seats in the new stand. Never seen anything like that trouble, thing is, they were also day games. Saturday's incident speaks more to our drinking culture (yes, mine included although I tend not to drink at the footy these days) than the need to segregate opposing fans. The fact that Carlton Draught promote how often a keg of Carlton is changed during AFL broadcast displays how ingrained drinking is in Australian life. That video of the Melbourne supporter staggering around, barely coherent is embarrassing, not just as an MFC supporter but an Australian. The video of the Geelong supporter laying the boot in is downright disgusting.

Never realised the Maltby Bypass crossed the state border! But seriously, these are crap seats ground level in the forward pocket. Much better available on Ticketmaster or buy a general admission ticket and take your chance of the night. There will be Dees fans sprinkled throughout. The myth that Sam Newman began years ago (and fuelled by similarly misguided folk) that only 200 Dees supporters turned up to a match comes about from this tiny allocation of seats under the scoreboard.

Excellent summation of how I, as a Trident member feels. When I realised who the MCC's supervisor in our area was on Tuesday - Glenn - I saw no point complaining to him as his attitude in the past towards MFC supporters is nothing short of pathetic. I've written to the MCC and MFC about his behaviour in the past and received assurances that it would be adressed. I doubt it has been, no point wasting my breath with this man.

Haven't noticed before but it looks like the Tridents areas is surrounded by corporate bays. So I suppose these are for club sponsors who can do whatever they like with their tickets. Problem then is when the MCC people don't check people are sitting in their allocated seats. Only once on Tuesday night did I see any Richmond supporters moved on. And that was well before the pre match ceremony began. Part of the problem arises from the number of empty seats in the Tridents bays, there were more people sitting around me at the Geelong match than on Tuesday. Do people not turn up? Are they dining or with larger groups in the MCC? Embarrassing to think thisatch was being touted as a sell out. According to the t&c of premium memberships, we must sit in our allocated seats and cards are not transferable. Time for the club to put some feet on the ground in this area and sort it out.
