Went to the ticketek site today to see what type of Reserve Seats were let but they were all labelled as Allocated Exhausted! Surely there are tickets left. I want to go with 2 mates and was hoping to buy some. Will they release more this week?

They will probably release more, it is probably just "sold out"

Can anyone advise here what time I should be rocking up to the MCC to ensure I get tickets?

Ticketek are awful, the fact that release more seats as the game gets closer is absolute rubbish, there's no advantage of being a member, one of the main attractions about becoming a club member is to gain priority seats over the general public :thumbsd::mad:
Not to mention their phone service never answers

Ticketek are shit. They wouldn't let me buy tickets for the Richmond game because it was 'allocation exhausted', despite it obviously being not exhausted at all. Either try tomorrow, or call.
I haven't got tickets yet either, might have to make a move...

I plan to get there at least two hours before kick off, so that would be at about 5:30. I got there at this time for the Carlton game and I just walked straight in. :thumbsu:

They will release more on monday morning. The people who release the seats prob dont work on the weekends. And because the demand would have been big over the weekend, the allocation they released has all sold. Pretty poor form but heaps of tickets left.

They don't have a phone service do they?
Though there was a situation i had with Ticketek with Judas Priest.
(bought silver tickets for $99 before they reduced them to $60)
Couldn't use phones, so i wasted my time raging at on the emails.
I honestly prefer Ticketek over Ticketmaster, (MCG > Etihad of course)

As I posted on the other thread, try Crown Casino tomorrow.
I looked this morning and they had garbage seats, (Row Q) top tier. I'll look again tomorrow morning.
I hate Ticketmaster more then Ticketek though. It they are going to realise more tickets they should explain when that is.

I recommend getting there before 5pm to lock in a seat.
This will give you heaps of choice.
I went to the Blues game and got some awesome seats outside the FGS bar on level 3..

Sorry to say you'll be 36 rows back. It's FAR! I was in Q49 FF on friday and you are pretty much at the back of the Top Deck. Great vantage point tho.

Just double checking here, as an essendon member i'm getting a reserved seat to all essendon home games, and just general admin to all away games. So will i be alright this friday to walk into general admission? And what time would you guys suggest getting to the ground? Cheers in advance.

With a general admission seat you still have too buy a reserved seat for a fully ticketed game

This game is not fully ticketed as far as I can see.
Even if it were, fully ticketed matches do not require you to PURCHASE a seat if you go general admission, you just have to reserve one - which you can do for free on game day.

Just bought tickets. Q52 Row R. Happy enough with that.

I was aware you need a reserved seat for a fully ticketed game, but i don't think that has been announced has it?

Luckily, im with the cheer squad, so i dont have to worry about the ticketing situation....though i must admit, i have noticed a drastic decline in the general service being provided by both ticketek and ticketmaster, they really need to pick up their game, though they won't because there isnt another viable competitor anywhere near them
The game won't sell out.
I'm just going to arrive early and grab tickets like that.

I'm not sure where you work and where you live, but if I were in your position, I would have bought a ticket before today. I bought mine a month ago at Crown Casino.
Best of luck, just the same. They might release some MCC seating, who knows??
For those who are in seats from AA back, the good news is that you will be under cover, and there is a chance of rain.

Any more tickets today?
I'd assume that they'd release more today, at least they did that last week

****, thought I had money to buy tickets, but won't have any till Friday. Hopefully due to the weather we can get some at the ground if we go early.
Sean their should be general admission available on game day, atm it looks like Q1 - Q8 at the top of of the Southern Stand will be walk up GA.
There will also probably be some walk up at the very back of the top of the Ponsford aswell.
Dont forget last week got a massive 83k crowd yet the whole of the top of the Ponsford stand was general admission for walk ups on game day.
I think they're really trying to scare people into thinking this crowd will be insanely massive.
I really can't see the crowd getting over 85k yet some people seem to think that over 90k people will turn up.

Look Sean, you are going to be terribly frustrated. The telecast is delayed by 50 minutes. So you either have the option of watching the game on your telly and sweat it out, knowing half the game is already played. OR you will keep running to your PC (or radio) to check the scores which will totally bugger up your telly viewing.
Should Essendon win, you will hurt even more because you won't be at the MCG to enjoy the win with thousands and thousands of supporters. And if Essendon loses, you'll find out just after half time on the telly, and won't even bother to watch the rest of the game. Either way, you lose out big time, on a crucial game of 2009 for our team. You are going to feel miserable for the rest of the week, whichever way the results go. :(

You can't buy a ticket today?I'm completely flat broke atm and can't buy a ticket. There are no ticketek joints near me and I don't have any money in my bank account to buy a ticket. Tryin to get my mates to buy em but I haven't heard a reply from them.

Assuming you live in Frankston, just take a train up to Southland :thumbsu:
10k of tickets a day out before the game is still a big amount of tickets still available.
Sean stop whinging and just head to the G on Friday night, there will be tickets available.

God!! this is sad. :(
Couldn't you ask your mom for the money to get a ticket for the Essendon game? Go chop some wood, mow the lawn, clean the garage, do the dishes, vacuum the floor. Surely to god that should get you enough money for a ticket. :(

Just wear your beer coat and you wont feel the cold!
Is it sold out or could you buy tickets at the gate?

Yeah i wanna know to, can i rock up at the G' and buy tickets at the gate?
i just bought reserve seat tickets, for level 4 row Q!!!
its a result of some mis-communication with my cousin.
Anyway what i am wondering is, can I use that ticket to access the general admission area? maybe i could do that, get there real early and get a reasonable seat under cover.

does anyone know the answer to this question? i don't tend to go to too many non Essendon home games, and I am trying to figure out what time i can leave work and go to the pub!
