On sale now for members. I can't seem to purchase more than one ticket with my flexi home and away membership. Is anyone having the same problem? I'm stressing big time!

It's the new ticketing rules that the AFL brought in at the start of the year.

do you know if there is a total limit to the number of presale tickets? So that there will be some left over by wednesday morning?

No idea. It's a shit system though, as a club member you should be entitled to buy more tickets before the general public. I have away reserved seating so I have never been able to buy extra tickets. They need to fix it up and be more flexible.

Exactly, they'll be basically forcing people to go by themselves. If they wanted to put a limit, they should've just limited the number of people you can buy for. Make it 2 or 3 instead of 10.

Add me to the "Have to wait until Wednesday because going with a non-member" list :|

Probably changed it to it to undermine scalpers and encourage casuals to get a membership.

i have a silver membership.

admits to every home and away game in Melbourne.

MCG & Etihad.

I ask this every year but do i need to do anything or can i just rock up on the day with my membership card (like previous years)

Im coming from Brisbane and would be a big let down not getting in.

A reply ASAP would be great, i cant call the club atm im stuck at work and dont have my phone on me while at work.

Thanks

If you don't have reserved seats, you will need to upgrade to a reserved seat through Ticketek using your barcode.

On the back of my card it has a specific reserved seat for each type.

MCG A
Etihad H

I think so

might give the club a call this arvo and make sure but hopefully this is all good

Good idea, I'd say you're all good though. I have both home and away reserved seats and my card shows my seats on the back just like you describe.

Surely this won't be the case for the finals if we make it? If so; shame, shame, SHAME!

 

[raskolnikov]

I have a reserved seat but a mate who is coming down from Qld with me doesn't have a membership. I also have three mates in Melbourne who want me to get tickets for them. How much chance do I have of getting five seats together on Wednesday? Or should I tell my mates in Melbourne to get their own tickets? Would hate for my mate who is flying down with me to miss out.

If you have a reserved seat just scan in with your I card at the gate

New rules suck. Wanted to upgrade to reserved seat and buy tickets for my fam, but didn't want to risk waiting till Wed, so no fam! Thanks AFL

According to the AFL there are under 10,000 tickets available to the general public. They go on sale at midday AEDT.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

Got ma tickets.

I'll fight you all outside gate 3.

 

[TD_B52]

I can't even get 1 ticket and i've been trying since 12. What a croc of shit.

 

[Jobe]

This is bullshit. Couldn't get my hands on 3 tickets.
Tried to get two and then sold out.

Now i'll have to buy from Ebay and pay a fortune.

Absolute crock of shit considering i already pay $900+ a year for High Mark.

 

[TD_B52]

Oh wait, take that back. Got two tickets. In the nosebleeds. Which cost me over $80. What a croc of shit.

I assume all clubs are in the same boat, but I agree, I should be able to buy extra tickets next to or at least around me using my membership.
