Looks Grim except for Minnow Clubs.
https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/...eek increased crowd capacities to 75 per cent, but the first Victorian community transmission in a month puts local hopes on hold.
Carlton and Richmond will split the gate takings from a Round 1 season opener that would normally see them bring home $1 million in combined profit from that game alone.
But the difference between playing with only 50 per cent capacity and 75 per cent capacity is significant.
If only 50,000 fans are allowed for marquee games at the MCG, 23,000 of those tickets will go to MCC and AFL members, even when those groups are only being handed half their normal capacity.
Around 2000 corporates would also be allowed into areas that generate lucrative revenue for the competition.
That would leave around 20,000 club members, who have reserved seats, for the home team, with as few as 5000 away club members having the chance to purchase reserved seats.
It is increasingly likely all Melbourne venues will have to be fully ticketed for contact tracing purposes with general admission walk-up fans not possible in 2021.
AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan will liaise with the state government in the weeks leading into the season and is expected to push for three-quarter capacity if the current community transmission can be restricted.
The AFL runs Marvel Stadium, and will hope the MCC’s direct experience with a COVID-positive patron at the Boxing Day Test gives the state government comfort it can allow 75 per cent of patrons.
During what amounted to a test case, it was discovered 10 days later that a COVID-positive person had visited a day of the Boxing Day test.
The MCC was able to get the list of 8000 people who had been in the area to Victorian health authorities within 10 minutes, with no further spread.
Increasing Melbourne venue capacities to 75 per cent would pose more of a risk for queues into arenas and around food and beverage outlets than in the stands, where gaps could still be put in place between groups of friends and family.
Carlton on Thursday postponed its best-and-fairest this weekend because of the COVID case and will instead host an alternate night in coming weeks.
Perth’s five-day lockdown ends at 6pm on Friday night with no further cases in recent days giving West Australian clubs optimism they can resume training fully next week.
The league will assess those WA COVID figures in coming days, and would have been prepared to limit training to all 18 clubs next week in a bid for equality.
But the hope is West Coast and Fremantle players will be able to return to normal training after being limited to one hour of exercise with a single teammate per day during the lockdown.

Is MRC considered premium?I saw this posted on the Richmond Facebook page by someone who apparently contacted the club View attachment 1051879
I don’t think so that’s just an add on to your membership typeIs MRC considered premium?
Gives you better odds.But who knows.We might get Hubbed again.So not worth paying for reserved seats this year or seems...I may be wrong though
I reckon we’d have 5-7k coterie group members tops.. then reserved seats members is next tier... pretty good odds still of getting a seatSo not worth paying for reserved seats this year or seems...I may be wrong though
If it goes 75% then anyone who wants to go will be able to go this year bar the marquee games.With a bit of luck it will be 75% , mcc get20,00 Richmond members the rest ,,,of any ,leftover carlton get a crack
based purely on likes on big footyGood morning beautiful people, does anyone know, or has anyone heard how match day ticketing is gonna work this year? My understanding is that it may only be open for members and will be sold on some type of "tiered" system? What have others heard?

2019 MCG attendances
0-50000 = 18
50001- 75000 = 20
75001+ = 7
Fully ticketed for all games is going to lead to ticketek and ticketmaster implosions, they can't handle 4 finals at once let alone 6-7 games at once every single week, can see nothing but disaster coming up.
I would've thought so, given it guarantees access to GF tickets. I need to call the club soon and will ask. I'll renew anyway to support the club but looks like we're going to be watching most games away from the ground. At least we can congregate together and watch. That's today, tomorrow who knows? That's what happens when you've got a f@#&wit of a premier in this state!Is MRC considered premium?
Guaranteed GF tickets as P1 - So think it is.Is MRC considered premium?
I thought so too, but spoke to the club this morning prior to renewing and MRC no priority other than GF tickets.Guaranteed GF tickets as P1 - So think it is.
