Not sure what you are talking about. All of level 4 in the mcc went up for reserved seating.

MCC reserved seating this year was 14/23K and that was further extended by 1.6K into the Ponsford so I imagine the MCC will be packed. Its the AFL that wont be full on level 4.

Correct, they usually let the bays that are currently on sale fill up to about 75% and then will start putting more into the system. I suspect what is currently on sale will sell out and maybe a little bit more.

Not quite, they havent put a fair portion of the ground on sale. Q31-Q34 rows Q-MM not on sale yet Q49-Q55 Rows BB-MM not on sale yet Q1-Q6 rows U-DD not on sale yet Afl Reserve Q18-Q27 rows K-DD not on sale yet Looks a 65K crowd to me but hope to be wrong.

They sell M3 as category 7 because it’s a dry bay not because it’s restricted view.

As a comparison to other finals in the last few years for games against interstate clubs at the G Geelong v West Coast 2019 SF - 52K Collingwood V GWS 2019 PF - 77K Collingwood V GWS 2018 SF - 72K Geelong V Sydney 2017 SF - 55K Richmond V GWS 2017 PF - 94K Geelong V Sydney 2016 PF - 72K WB V Adelaide 2015 EF - 61K Hawthorn V Adelaide 2015 PF - 71K When you remove the Prelims which will always attract larger crows and especially the Richmond outlier, you would probably find that 70K would be an outstanding achievement. If it is true that 38K tickets were sold in the public reserve I think that is more than achievable. Come game day that number will hopefully be 45K+ 23K in the MCC reserve (extended into Q35-Q36 Ponsford)+10K in the AFL (8K empty most likely but may be more full by then) ends up at 78K. Worst case scenario will be 40K public tickets with a 70K crowd. The mind boggles at how many people crawl out the woodwork for finals. Expect to be an extremely pro Melbourne crowd, hopefully 60K of us. Finals crowds are going to be huge this year because we haven't been able to go for 3 years.

No the way they do it sell all of level 4 front which for finals is Q15-Q27 rows A-J. When that’s all gone they put up level 4 middle 2 bays at a time. So they might sell up to row U. but level 4 back which is row U-DD probabaly won’t go on sale

Afl members is not even close to selling out. Level 4 Q16-Q27 rows K-DD are not even on sale yet. There are also at least 500 unused corp allocation that always go on sale 3 days before the game. Its basically 65% sold, the exact same as Anzac Eve was. Reckon crowd will be another 70K like Pies, Anzac eve, dreamtime.

Yes against interstate teams and St Kilda it was possible, but most of level 2 and 2A will be full, even the Medallion Club next Friday

Level exhausted so far because only 3 bays actually go on sale and 3 under cover sections. Most of level 1 is walk up on the day

Maybe but we have bought out almost all of Sydney Level 1,2 and 2A allocation so there are a lot more Melbourne members who crawl out for finals

If you wants a hint as to how diluted it actually is, it was once called the AFL Members Reserve and now is just the AFL Reserve. Every man and their dog are able to access the reserve if they are an interstate member. Richmond Premium members can access it too for away games... Then they gave P15-P20 to the Medallion club which are always empty. I understand that I can get Medallion Clubs in N19 which are incredible but woulkd rather have level 2 and 2A back with us members. My old Man been an AFL Member since it became a thing and he gets beyond pissy that we lost the best seats on 2A.

Woo P22 AFL reserve, was hoping for P21 but I also have 2 Medallion clubs in N19 so I am chuffed. Hope I am not surrounded by South Melbourne grubs again in the AFL reserve

For anyone struggling with getting tickets in Melbourne allocation. The reason everything becomes unavailable is because they are loading more bays into the system for sale. E.g., half of Sydneys bays in the Southern Stand M8-10 have become available for Melbourne members and more bays on level 4 Northern stand have gone on sale. Be patient, everyone will get tickets for this game.

If anyone is unable to get good seats in Melbourne bays, click on Sydney allocation and there are heaps available still. Suspect those bays will be filled with red and blue anyway

The problem is that for the onsale 50% of tickets go to Sydney so their cat 1 seats wont be full and then when they go on sale to public at 3pm youd be able to get them

Category 5, try get Q56 or Q57 and you wont be high up

I was in year 12 in 2018 and remember seeing the queues through Yarra Park at 3:30

Most of Level 1 is walk up anyway, just get there a bit early next Friday, get your ticket and then go for dinner or something.

Good to see quite a good uptake of MCC reserved seats, Level 4 looks to be above row CC for at least half the bays.

I have posted it in the Fill the G thread about an hour ago. Can also find it on the MCG website

You will not get a priority ability to select seats in trident/legends/redlegs areas. But you will hopefully be able to select your bay - which may be where your reserved seats normally are, the below image is how the categories will be allocated and we will get around 75% of the bays. In finals both teams get 50% of seats in theory but they will give us more like they gave us more against geelong in 2018.

The email the club sent you about an hour ago is the one that you will use tomorrow (unless you are an AFL member like me and you just use your normal barcode). If you struggle with the ticketek system, maybe head down to a ticketek agency and just let the employee put your barcode in and tell them which category you want

Look up AFL finals ticket prices freeze and it will show you the categories and respective prices

65K will be a good result. 58K against the dogs in Round 1 with 45K of us there was the vast majority of Melbourne supporters who would consider going to a game.. Expect that to be around 50K for finals and the Swans will bring between 15-20K of their own TBH, [censored] me people already giving reasons why they can't go in the fill there g thread.
