Last year's for comparison:

How it should be:

Premium seats: Level 1, 2 and 2A on the flanks
Mid level seats: Level 2, 2A behind the goals
Cheap seats: Level 1 behind the goals, level 4

What seating is allocated to the 'home club'?

And I was just thinking "inb4 why can't I sit on level 1 with the cheapest ticket?".

What seating is allocated to the 'home club'?

Reserved seats. Which probably varies a bit between clubs due to how many they have.

What seating is allocated to the 'home club'?

it depends upon the deal a club has negotiated with the MCG. Some clubs have much less access to reserved areas than others

 

[Pessimistic]

So when you buy tickets, those 12 selections will come up ? Ie i want southern level 1 wing i get a ticket in that section ? Would ba agood start


I guess we will find out next wednesday

Currently, after best available, the options are to select the level, or select the stand, which is very ambiguous, or the category in cat a or finals

Lol, could get some pretty pissed off people if they buy 'wing' seats and get M/N57 which is actually behind the goal line along with most of 56.

Interesting strategy.

The clubs will effectively 'price' supporters into season tickets (as they are far more affordable, particularly across the premium categories)

Supporters of clubs that have large swaths of reserve seating (Essendon at Ethiad, Collingwood / Hawthorn MCG) are mostly immune to the price flexibility (across home games) as the premium seats are already allocated to reserve ticket holders anyway

MCC and AFL Members have too many wing seats.

 

[walhawk]

Am I correct in saying tickets go on sale to members tomorrow?

We built your precious MCG.

Actually it was mostly taxpayer funded.

Not true.

As the better kind of football fan we naturally get the better seats.

Government paid for it.

MCG pricing reflects how good the seats are. Better seats = $$$.
L1 behind goals will give you a good atmosphere.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Live bidding on tickets would be interesting.

I went to the MCG for the first time (as a neutral) in 2012, sitting on Level 1 behind the goals in the Great Southern Stand. Don't sit there, as the action at the other end might as well be taking place in Timbuktu. Moreover, you don't get the sense of forward and back. The low roof of Level 1 is a bit claustrophobic, quite different to Adelaide Oval, and the Great Southern Stand's legroom isn't too flash. Hope my experience can be of help.
