I'm assuming you've just tried buying them via their website? How about calling? I've had that experience before where I got a different answer over the phone to what the website was telling me. Not sure why.

OK just spoke to Ticketmaster, away member allocation is exhausted and the only way to sit on Level 1 is to pay $52 for full member & $43 concession, $15 for kids - Don't think so AFL

Well Carltank fans wont turn up seeing they're done and dusted...should be around 30K...if you get there at around 6.45pm there will be tons of seats on Level 3..

.....but be aware...Carltank have been known to reserve the first 5-7 rows all away around the top of the edge of Level 3 for their Members.

Why can't you just buy general admission (or use your membership if you have a 14 game ticket) and just sit on level 3?

Had planned to go to this game (3 AFL North club support members), but when being dicked around by Ticketmaster and then told that the only upgrade for the standard AFL member price of $7.50 + booking fee was Level 3 behind the goals said stuff it. If a North home game would have gone along anyway. The crowd numbers were sh*t compared to previous years (lowest in the last 5 years) and from viewing the TV, level 1 and 2 were very empty, particularly the Carlton cheer squad goals which looked more like Freo or PA at Etihad.

I have grown fonder of Docklands over the years and am normally happy to rock up and sit somewhere on the wing or pocket on level 3, but this year the AFL policy combined with Etihad's money grubbing has turned me bitterly against both. I have also noted that the MCG AFL members area seems to be following suit. Against Melbourne this year Level 2 of the AFL members required reserved seats, less than half of which were occupied. One of the great things about VFL/AFL aussie rules was its egalitarian crowd mix. The more we go down the American line of extracting maximum return from minimal attendance the more the game's uniqueness and attraction for the average punter will diminish. This is shown by the drop off in attendance this year.
