Anyone purchased AFL dining this year? I had purchased 2 tickets for Easter Monday (got the receipt back in Feb) but nothing has shown up in my inbox yet and there is nothing on my Ticketmaster account. Are they slower sending out the actual tickets this year?

Doesn’t crack my Top 3 but it’s up there. 2012 2018 2009 2002 2006/2005/2023

I just wanted our win back haha

Obviously have my biases Geelong vs Hawks 2011 Geelong vs Fremantle 2013 (If only for the Crowley/Johnson handshake rematch) West Coast vs Fremantle 2015 GWS vs Sydney 2016 Geelong vs Richmond 2017 Collingwood vs Richmond 2018 Geelong vs GWS 2016, 2017, 2019 Geelong vs Collingwood 2022...

2012, 2014 and 2015 all made it to non-competing silver (as that’s how I got tickets). Never got a look in for 2013 or 2016. 2017 was my first year as Gold and I jumped on pretty late in the day to see if there were any tickets still available. Didn’t bother try in 2018 but easily got one for...

First time I have ever delegated my GF ticket purchasing to a mate because I was out for the day. Thankfully they pulled through.

I may have got my responding mixed up, so sorry about that. Discovered this interesting report on the growth of Melbourne Victory and the factors involved. https://researchbank.swinburne.edu.au/file/b153d774-ff79-42de-9d6f-83d9619838c2/1/PDF%20%28Accepted%20manuscript%29.pdf However, I don't...

True, but I remember the move to the Docklands in the 06-07 season was mostly in response to the World Cup interest. 2006 World Cup was in July, 06-07 season started in August, Melbourne played at Docklands for the first time against Sydney in September. But I am searching online to see what...

There was a bit of bump in interest in the Aleague immediately following the 2006 World Cup though, at least in Melbourne. Melbourne Victory did go on their 06/07 winning streak and started having our first games at the then Telstra Dome (50k vs Sydney FC). Maybe it was a perfect storm of...

Good on whoever made a ranga Joe Misiti though. Keeping the tradition alive.

My favorite bug so far…

Yeah that has been my experience in the past. I was able to pass through the section from Punt Rd end to City end via the AFL Members and presenting my card. Even during "sold out" games.

Even to pass through or use standing room? Were people still able to scan into the AFL members and cross over to GA? If so, does that make it weird if its a one-way trip out? Maybe I just wanted to hang out in the bar below the ground level and didn't actually need a seat.

Had an argument with an MCG attended on Friday night after crossing over into the public area to get some food. He said I needed to produce my ticket to get entry into the AFL members section, but I said I only need to show my card (as the sign says next to him) but he wouldn’t let me into until...

Single safe standing or a terrace? Or just standing bays ala MCG?
