Random Q but why does the MCG never have 100K for non-GF matches, even when it is completely sold out?

Both games this weekend would easily crack 100K but for some reason they won't - it's not only MCC, but I suspect they sell more standing room tickets to the GF itself? If so, why not for prelims?
The MCG only has 95,000 seats with a maximum of approx 5,000 standing room spots. Standing room would be variably released by the AFL depending on the demand for the match. For the GF it’s always the max of course but it absolutely jam packed so there probably a fine balance of managing demand vs spectator comfort. I’d expect both prelims to be very high 90s this weekend though.

Cheers. Don't understand why it's OK for the GF but not other matches. Many would want to watch the prelims in a packed standing bay.

In any case, agree both prelims should be high 90s. If Hawks v Dogs got 98K last year in an elimination ....

P16-P24 **** sake. 7 years ago we had the whole level, then P16-P24 and from 2027 it will all be gone.
I already had a feeling it was long gone.

It essentially is because they wait until the game starts before deciding to remove the reserved signs, stopping people from bothering to wander up.

Add in corporate freebies, auskick, etc etc it is a shitshow at the **** factory

When Melbourne plays any interstate side, the dogs, north, st kilda or hawthorn we just sit in P17/P18 in row F because it is always empty and nobody cares because everyone else in the bay is doing the same thing.
 
Unfortunately its the AFL Reserve. Not AFL members reserve so auskick, medallion club, reciprocal arrangements etc will be put in the AFL reserve.

That being said I would have thought SACA, WACA members would go into the MCC since that's the cricket area

It was called the AFL Members Reserve previously.
SACA or WACA members can go to the MCC and buy a visitor pass, subject to capacity.

Wish they wouldn't close the top level of the AFL members for most MFC home games so I can have four bays all to myself, but first world problems I guess.

They do. And Centre Wing members from Marvel Stadium have reciprocal rights to buy MCC tickets too for some reason despite it being an AFL owned membership package.

It is a reciprocal rights thing. MCC can get level 2 Marvel tickets for $20.

So they are now starting to take L1 undercover?

GrGrubs
They have for years. Could even be decades. There's always been more than just AFL members in the reserve.
So the elites get 3-4 days to claim a ticket yet us plebs have to rush on and grab one within an hour time frame. Seems like standard AFL protocol.....
And they pay $8k for that privilege.
 
Interesting point in their latest email about GF tickets

Tickets are subject to capacity and availability. A transaction limit of eight (8) tickets applies. Bronze members do not have access to the Grand Final. Please be aware that by entering your Club Ballot, your access to AFL Membership Priority 1 and 2 on-sales will be forfeited.

So if it somehow got to Silver Club support, and you entered your clubs ballot and was unsuccessful, you'd be able to try for tickets in P3
