Of course its a niche thing to have: None of those leagues have a stadium that 5 teams use as its home ground None of those leagues play games with any empty seats (excluding maybe the Texans/Dolphins/Jags in the NFL) There is a certain away area/amount of seats for away supporters to purchase Meanwhile we have a stadium that no single club can fill on its own accord during the Home and Away season. The concept of AFL membership has a place in Victoria where it doesn't elsewhere. I don't think its fair to compare the AFL with any of those leagues.

Watched King's Birthday replay. Has not helped the nerves.

95% of afl members already do nominate their club of choice and under no circumstances are they going to give priority in any game other than the grand final to competing club members. do you want to do away with the Mcc as well?

Completely defeats the purpose of AFL membership. If you want priority on-sales be a club member and not AFL member.

Im not a neutral fan but I can't attend with my AFL membership? Rubbish point.

Would have thought the easiest to solution would be: Don't overlap on sales between MCC and Public and Public and AFL Two public pre-sale periods (one for Collingwood members and one for Melbourne members) Spread the on sales out over 2 days for each game - there are two weeks ffs. MCC visitor tickets are always going to cause problems for Melbourne games so there really isnt much that can be done without banning guest passes. But that is where the MCC is making their money ie I bought 9 full/restricted seats on level 2 for $120 and 6 level 4 visitor tickets for $600 so they will never ban visitors.

What a nonsense that we don't get the emails, probably worthy of a call to the club.

On that basis every bay is mixed because you can click on either allocation and purchase seats in the other sides bays.

Out of curiosity do you have a bigpond email? All the people with bigpond that I’ve spoken to didn’t received the email. My partner gets emails from Melbourne to her gmail and no problems. I got the text at 9:58z

On what basis are m2 and m4 mixed. They were in our allocation and not collingwoods. They have m57 and m1 and then m5-m6.

Reasonable expectation is that it will be around 93. If the MCC is a lockout which it should be and the corporates show up, it will be above 95.

Believe that MCC ends up with a lot more standing room on Grand final day.

RD24 Essendon V Collingwood. Obviously the Essendon reserved seat areas were not full and the game ended up as a dead rubber but the concept of Fully ticketed events do not work. The two best crowds of the season imo was Anzac Eve and KB eve getting 83.9K and 83.5K respectively. They were that large because there were massive GA turnouts for both games.

Ultimately your numbers are completely incorrect. MCC is 23K, AFL is about 17K for finals with Medallion club getting 4k (within the AFL reserve). The afl loses Q28 for finals. That leaves 56K left for the rest of the ground. The reason the ground doesn't get to 100K is because additional standing room areas become available for the GF, Corporate boxes won't be completely full like they are for a GF, Medallion Club won't be completely full and there will be no shows. The MCG has seen multiple games that have been "fully ticketed" with the whole ground sold out and the crowds for those games have been 74k, 76K, 78k, 80k, 83.5k and 95K. It is so hard to get to capacity.

Its going to be somewhere between 91-94, would have been higher on the Friday. But based on how quick the 3 reserves have sold it will be above 90 easily.

nah its pretty much impossible for it to be 100K in a non-grand final game.

AFL reserve is just about sold out, must be one of the fastest sell outs ever. single seats only level 4 back and middle

Yes but some bays are shared.

I’m not sure about M36, it may have been ours.

M3 Punt road.

Because I’m just watching it constantly. Can see the differences with the level 4 bays.

You are in a Melbourne bay. M30, M31 and M35 are Melbourne bays. Collingwood cheer squad in M33

Unfortunately I didn’t screenshot the Priority members allocation when I went in (quel [censored]). But I’m 90% sure these are our bays M2-M4, M7-M9, M12-M13, M16, M30-M31, M35. M50-M51, M55-M56. For the most part the bays on level 4 reflect the same as level 1 with a few differences. Level 2 and Level 2a is slightly different because we have most of the bays in the southern and northern stands but believe they have all of level 2 in the ponsford. our sales are miles behind theirs unfortunately and they are starting to reallocate some of the back of level 4 bays to Collingwood.

M35 is a Melbourne bay as well as M30 and M31

there are still plenty seats available! All of our priority member seats are pretty much gone but heaps still available on level 4. Do not worry if you are in the ponsford, we have 3 bays on level 1 and 3 on level 4 as well. You won’t be alone.
