I’m doing the same, first time I’m not going in the AFL and choosing to go in the MCC for a Melbourne home and away game willingly in years. AFL is a zoo against the Pies, as expected considering they are animals and barely human beings.

Heads up for this one, General Public is going to sell out in the next week or two. AFL/MCC not on sale yet obviously.

From my understanding it happened in 2017 and 2023 when the GA areas in the Public reserve were full, usually just before the bounce. The AFL reserve general Admission areas for tonight are: Q15 1/2-Q23 Rows U-DD Q24-Q28 Rows K-DD They will basically let people sit anywhere in those AFL GA areas as long as its not yet full. But first have to exhaust the normal GA areas which I think are going to be extended to Q1-Q7 rows T-DD

So we always sit on 2A in the AFL, usually in P21 but if we are playing an interstate side or North/St Kilda we will sit in the unused medallion club P16-P20. I also have my Redlegs seats in P7 and since Covid i have been able to move in and out the AFL with no questions asked.

as an AFL member myself, I am completely fine with it if: Level 1, 2 and 2a are not diluted it is only opened up on the night if the rest of the ground is completely full They make it clear to AFL members that this is going to happen and if members want to revolt, they can. Its most likely a lot of Melbourne home/away access members are going to be the people that are let in Remember the MCC gives up Q37-Q40 to the Public for pretty much all non-Melbourne games these days

The MCC are predicting 78K. im a little less, weather this morning will turn a few away as well. Reckon 70-75 sort of range. Very much depends on how empty the Richmond reserved areas are.

For level 3 MCC I reckon you’ll be able to get a single seat an hour before the game easily.

GA areas are: Q1-Q3 rows T-DD. Yes, that is all. afl reserve is going to be opened up on the night

Updated expected GA areas for Wednesday: Ponsford: None Olympic: None Shane Warne: Q1-Q12 rows P-DD AFL Reserve: Q15 1/2-Q22 rows U-DD, Q23-Q28 rows K-DD (Expect this to be opened up to public on the night) MCC walk up areas: Usual level 1, 2 and 3 areas as well as as Q37-Q48 rows DD-MM (first time Anzac eve has had potential level 4 walkup in the MCC since 2017)

Ticket sales in the public reserve are doing really well now. Ponsford level 4 looks like it will be all sold out well before the game on Wednesday. MCC is a disaster, they sold out the available level 4 seats this morning, but because its the weekend they havent released any more and wont do so until Monday 8am. Wonder how many people are going to look to try reserve across the two day weekend in the lead up to the game. FWIW MCC level 4 is only around 65% sold.

My dad jumped the aisles after KB to attack three of them lipping off after they lost, had to give him a bear hug and drag him down or i was worried he'd be down for mass murder.

Level 4 Ponsford rows V-MM have gone on sale. But since you refuse to sit on level 4, there is a solitary seat that has gone on sale in M35 on level 1 behind the goals where our cheersquad will be.

Updated GA areas, they have now put all of the Ponsford level 4 on sale. GA to be Q1-Q7 and Q8-Q12 rows K-DD

Mate every time there is a ticketing thread you appear and tell us why you don’t want to attend the game. Why even bother.

must you always be so negative...

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Nope, Q51 was sold out Monday night, Q52 was all gone by 11pm last night. I have an addiction problem and I check this every couple hours. They do ramp up in the week of the game. For context, you bought row V in Q53 last night and they are now up to row FF. GA tickets are still $27, but reserving a level 4 seat is not GA.

That screenshot is correct though. Level 1 is sold out and has been for a month. Now obviously Richmond reserved areas on level 1 are M50-M57, M1,M2 and M10-M16 but the other areas on level 1 are sold out. level 2 and 2a are all reserved seat areas for Richmond so technically none are available. Level 4 front, rows A-J (Q49-Q57) (Q8-Q15) is all sold out and has been for the last couple weeks. They have sold all of Q49-Q52 to the back and Q13-Q15 as well. Expecting Q53-Q57 to be all gone by the end of the week. Ponsford level 4 is being sold up to U in all bays and that will likely be all they sell there. the GA areas for Melbourne club members who have away access and all Richmond members are going to be something like: Olympic stand: None Ponsford: Q31-Q36 rows V-MM Shane Warne: Q1-Q7 all rows, Q8-Q12 rows K-DD. MCC sales on level 4 aren’t great this year. Up to Row DD in Q46-Q48, row AA for Q41-Q45 and row R Q37-Q40 AFL on par with last year and they ended up opening the last 10 rows of all bays to general admission, so would be expecting that again. Strikes me as a very low 70s crowd.

Wouldnt be opposed to calling it a mulligan. Just a night where everything was broken and we didnt lose how we normally do. Midfield smashed all night and clearly we looked knackered after the adelaide trip.

Nothing will be as good as the 2017 one where the navy faded into sky blue with the silhouettes of soldiers on the front and the lone soldier on the back, also worked well to avoid a clash with the Black jumper

the 2021 game at Adelaide Oval is remembered too well and they were saying exactly the same things before hand
