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.

Nah restricted members can buy visitor tickets

I got 9 tickets level 2 mcc, ticketek worked perfectly. really helpful that they have staggered the games. Already up to row Z level 4 in the MCC.

Good luck today everyone! Remember to be patient, they release bays at staggered times when they start selling out so if it says no availability just keep trying. If our allocation gets full you can always try the Collingwood allocation. It is unlikely it will completely sell out in the member on sale. AFL members like me, god help us all.

No. Cheersquad is in M3. You can be nearly certain that as the "away" team we will Have M3-M6, M9-M10, M12-M13 M16, M52-M53, M55-M56 in the Southern and Olympic with the correlating bays on level 2, 2A and 4. And if not those bays it will be the opposite. Ponsford we will get access to 4 of the 8 bays on level 1 and the same on level 2. As much as people dont like to hear it, they do actually split the bays 50 50. It just depends on whether we have enough members to fill our allocation before the Pies members start taking it.

It did last year, but would confirm in your MFC account. They may give you a separate barcode for the Melbourne allocation.

Any other Redlegs/Tridents yet to received the email yet? My partner has but I have not.

Saints game also on Ticketek but for AFL reserve they are staggering the games, hopefully they do the same for Public and MCC. The premium option I am not 100% sure about.

Why on earth are we in the Ponsford. Collingwood sit in M33 all year for home and away games and have made the Ponsford theirs. It is technically their home game (I understand it is meant to be neutral) and we prefer to be at Punt Road end? Surely this makes no sense.

Lets hope people find excuses to get to the game rather than excuses to not be there.

Correct :)

Its not a $30 GF Guarantee, its just priority 3 access to the ballot.
