We got allocated standing tickets (only selected that as I was told by ticketek too) and we are taking 2 kids (9 and 12) can anyone tell me what it will really be like? Will they really struggle? thanks in advance
Go on the underneath level below level M. The entrance up to M level from underground is about 15 meters in front of the normal entrance to M level when you walk past the usher.
The closer entrance from underneath the ground on M level is usually not manned by an usher, and you might be able to hover around and sit on the steps. The best place to do this is one of the inconspicuous bays where there aren't many staff. In the AFL members, for example, this would be M27, where the southern stand joins the Ponsford. Should be able to sit on the steps there next to the fence with the Ponsford stand on your left.
If you're in the Southern stand, you could do the same thing with the Olympic sand on your right.
