We couldn't buy another Friday night game this year. Thursday night against Brisbane will ensure we don't get more than 35k.

The Brisbane game I think is a lock for Friday night. The Swans game may end up as a Sunday 3:20 or Saturday night. They have two Friday night games in a row before they play us and we play Monday the week after.

Also remember that it is a replacement home game for Hawthorn members. Can expect 45K (maybe 50) against Hawthorn and hopefully 40K against the Saints on mothers day. I suspect a lot of Melbourne supporters who are accustomed to Sunday games will go. We got 53K against the Saints in 2017 on the 1:10 slot when it was 9th vs 10th and a battle to make the 8.

Think we should be expecting a similar mid season drop off as last season. Imagine that Selwyn will be following a similar regime to burgess. don’t think we complaining if we are top 2 with a 18-4 season.

All of the reserved seat packages with GF guarantee have sold out. Was a about 3 weeks ago I believe.

Ah, you should have waited till this morning. They were selling bays Q48-Q40 up to row X and when they sold out last night they only updated the system this morning. Now, all bays level 4 MCC Q37-Q48 are available up to the very back (row MM). Perhaps buy three free junior tickets together so you can sit with each other? Hate that this game is category 1 in the MCC, it won't come close to selling out. 70K looks a reach at the moment.

Can get at ground but may be easier if you get on ticketek get now. Costs about $22

First of all you are incorrect regarding when I posted. Tickets in the AFL reserve and MCC went on sale well before I posted and the sales in the MCC are still not good. They still haven't sold out level 1 in the AFL and level 4 will be 80% empty. MCC still haven't opened up half the bays on level 4. Tickets for away members and Richmond members went on sale before I posted as well. There were 5 bays that sold out in that process, M7-M9 and M28-M29. You seem to think this is our home game, it is not. Yes there will be a very small proportion of our members who have away GA access who will receive GA tickets on the app 3 days before. But that is a very small amount of people. So your point on reserved seat holders is rubbish because it is not our home game. I know exactly how the process works for ticketing so get off your high horse and stop trying to explain it to me. This will be another disappointing road because of Covid, ticketing process and Richmond fans not turning up.

Not hugely but it will add to the narrative of our poor crowds this year. fwiw I think there will be at least 20K of us there.

Not amazing, mainly because provisional members don’t have access in mcc. Looks like a 60k crowd. 70 would be a brilliant effort will be very interesting to see how full (empty) the level 1 Richmond member reserved area seating is.

Demon army put a post out for ticketing this week. They have all of bay m33 so if you are interested sitting level 1 and only with Melbourne supporters book through this link. More info on their Facebook page. https://www.trybooking.com/BYYPP

Saints got 18k, would hate to be less Than that. Haven’t seen the members this empty in a long time, must all be in Mornington.

I sit 2a in the afl reserve though. There will be no seats on 2a available in general public for this game coz it’s all reserved seats areas for Richmond members.

Level 4 AFL was definitely open against Essendon, its shut tonight. Level 2A for me always though.

There is walk up in MCC tonight. 25K will be a brilliant crowd all things considered.

Apologies for autocorrect, now changed to ticketek. Basically Richmond reserved seat bays are M50-M57 M1-3 M5-M6 M10-M15 and all level 2 and 2A in GSS and Olympic. Unfortunately for this game they didn't allow you to select your own bay. M7-M9 sold out in the general public on sale very fast, suspect a lot of melbourne home and away members will be sat there. They put on m28-M36 in the Ponsford opening up each bay at a time and are currently at M35. Those are the only Level 1 tickets available to non away game members, there will be a lot of us sitting there. Looks about a 60K crowd to me, if both us and richmond win today it might top 70K.

A few reasons: You can go on ticketek and see what they are selling as reserved. MCC is a huge tell for our games whether it will crack 70K and because to is Category 1 they only at row s level 4 on a few bays Pax number on ticket Is the biggest give away. AFL reserve also barely sold anything on level 4 and haven't sold out level 1

"good sides get rewarded with prime time" [censored] off afl. Melbourne Fremantle is currently 1st v 3rd. Richmond are bang average and Sydney arent great. I know we aren't on because its two smaller clubs.

Reckon you can lock in North sunday 1:10 and Freo Saturday 2:10. Expect a lot of our last 10 games are gonna be Friday/Sat nights. Brisbane twice, Geelong, Dogs, Carlton, Sydney, Fremantle over there, potentially even pies round 21.

some time this week according to HS

Its quite funny to see that our supporter base prefers non prime time spots. Maybe years and years of comfort with the 2:10 slot have made it preferable and easier to get home in the country? Reckon we will get our best crowd in terms of crowd expectation against the Saints in the Sunday 1:10 slot. I don't care, Id be there if it wax an 11pm game coz I'm crazy.

Ticket sales have been really poor for Anzac eve, dont worry if you have to wait till tomorrow morning, there will be plenty of level 1 seats. Also remember, the demon army will be in the Ponsford (M33) which will probably have a lot of GA areas in it. Doubt it will come close to 70K this year.

Petty Lever and Hibberd all seem to be in the 4-6 black hole. Only the club refuses to use the term 4-6 any more. Its now the "they'll be right next week" nonsense claim.

I'm an afl member with club support so I have my level 2A seat every game basically hehe. But for Anzac Eve I suspect you will find that level 1 in the Ponsford will either all be GA or plenty of available reserved seating. There will be plenty of red and blue there for an away game. Also, bays M5-M8ish aren't in Richmond's reserved seat areas so you will also be able to reserve seats there. Crowds are still well down this year so wouldn't be surprised if Anzac Eve doesn't crack 70K, especially if Richmond aren't good. QB will be a similar story I suspect

They hold back some of the better bays until closer to the game. M54 only went on sale two days before the game which is the best bay in the olympic stand for non reserved members and not alcohol free bays. Similar things happen with level 2 corporate allocations that go unused.
