Obviously mate.Rest of us still need tickets
Exactly the same. I'm now entering as many competitions as I can for a free ticket and contacting friends in corporate land who may be able to land one. Terrible because you feel like a beggar but what else can you do.Gone through the 7 stages of grief. Was shocked we made it, then the pain on knowing I might not get tickets, been trying to bargain a ticket, then got angry at the AFL, now I'm accepting that I probably won't get the ticket

Do you know which standing room bay he's been allocated to? I have no issue with standing, but depends which bay.
Hi guys, I work as a ground attendant at the G. Just letting those with standing room tickets know that they are able to stand in any of the standing areas not just what is specified on their ticket. No one checks where you stand, only where you sit. My suggestion for those standing in general public areas is go around to M10-14 which is the flank/wing of the Sth stand or around M50-53 in the Olympic stand. They are the better standing viewing spots imo. Get there at opening time(10am??) and try and to get a spot up against the barrier so you have no bodies in front of you. Also 'mark your spot' with a scarf or cap so no one else pushes in when you go to the toilet, food etc. I've worked around 25 GF's and the standing areas can get a bit heated although over the past few years I've noticed they don't get as crowded as they once did. Maybe they sell less tix to make it more comfortable. If you manage to get into a good spot DO NOT LEAVE IT unless absolute necessary after around 1pm.
Probably shouldn't say this but if anyone has the balls.....when exiting the ground for a f** etc try and scan 2 tickets at the turnstile and use one for 'someone' waiting outside in wanting to get in. Maybe get a mate to 'distract' an attendant or do it when it's mega busy. Got to be super quick though, maybe do a practise run with one ticket initially to see how 'the system' works. I hate that the GF has become one giant corporate wankfest and that deserving lifelong fans are missing out. Anyway good luck to the Doggies and good luck to those chasing tickets.
Thoughts on being able to upgrade to adult?

Thanks for the standing room tips Forevernorth. Any suggestions for doing standing room with kids?
Hi all,
I have access to 2 x level one tickets - very good seats next to each other. They are a bit steep for me though (selling at $1,200 a pop) but I would be keen to trade with anyone with cheaper tickets as long as you cover the difference. Standing is fine for me too, just get me into the ground!
PM me and I can provide more details.

You are able to upgrade your concession/child ticket in the day. A few posters have answered that on our form. Just see the relevant MCG Box Office and pay the difference + handling fee (each category is different in terms If the difference)
