[The Coon Dog]

M56-S, Row MM

[aker39]

M1 Row V


I hope the Bulldog cheer squad is at that end, or more importantly that the Collingwood cheer squad isn't.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Just purchased mine online. Very happy. Knocked back the first couple and then got these which is what I wanted. Sat in almost the same spot for the game v St. Kilda last year and loved it.

Olympic Stand
Section M52
Row AA

[Desipura]

I hope the Bulldog cheer squad is at that end, or more importantly that the Collingwood cheer squad isn't.

[dadsgirl16]

ok, now I am worried, N57 row J Olympic Stand. Which cheer squad am I behind??

[LostDoggy]

N3 Row C

[FlightoftheCallanWards]

Western Bulldogs cheer squad will be M3 this week.

[aker39]

ok, now I am worried, N57 row J Olympic Stand. Which cheer squad am I behind??


Bulldogs.

N57 is the last bay of Olympic, then it goes Southern Stand N1, N2,N3.

Dogs cheer squad are in M3

[Cyberdoggie]

I can't believe this but i'll be in the lounge room at my parents house.
Trust my wife and father to have their birthdays on the same day when the bulldogs are in a final.

This will be the first Melbourne final i have missed since 85.

I could certainly use the cash as finals are ridiculously expensive these days, especially when the side you barrack for never wins a qualifying final, making you fork out the cash for a semi final as well, then a prelim.


The thought of it all makes me feel ill in the stomach. If this is the greatest game ever and I miss it i will not be happy.

[LostDoggy]

M57, row MM. Glad it's near the Bulldogs cheer squad!

[AndrewP6]

Can you believe I got back from a school excursion, got onto the phone and it was ENGAGED!!!! For 40 mins... so I may not be going :(

[LostDoggy]

cheersquad....hope the bulldogs put on a good show for all of us...

[LostDoggy]

Hard to believe so many of you got rows so far back... Unless that's standard majority of people are buying?

Aren't you row AA Danstar ?

[Go_Dogs]

M15 Row AA

I'm in M15 too, not sure which specific seat.

[LostDoggy]

Members section - making the most of it. Only got it last year!! Probably Level 1 or 2 depends how many people are lined up to get in, in front of me.

[LostDoggy]

Big bunch of us in M14. Brush up on your latin for a wild ride awaits!! :cool:;):D

[LostDoggy]

Aren't you row AA Danstar ?

Yeah. But everyone else seems so far back

[LostDoggy]

M18 Row K. Now I'm hoping it doesn't piss rain!

$31.95 for 2 seats, what a steal!

[angelopetraglia]

AFL member.

M26 - under cover.

That is on the 50m line.

Booked right on 9am. Can't believe so far around could be the best available.

Seat/s: 6-1

[LostDoggy]

Also, does anyone have any recommendations on good standing areas in the Southern Stand?

[Sedat]

Finally got tickets this morning up in the bleaches on the top level of the Southern Stand. Another reason to hate Collingwood.

[Mantis]

Shocking spot.

If you want to stand go around to the Olympic Stand as it gives you a much better view.

I believe this is the series ticket game so presume a lot of the premium tickets may have already gone prior to 9am. (Correct me if Im wrong)

[Mantis]

Does anyone know at what row number you are undercover in the Southern Stand (Level 1)?

I can get tickets for row V and if I am that far back I want to make sure I'm undercover.

[Desipura]

Row AA, row V is in the open.

[Mantis]

Row AA, row V is in the open.

Cheers.

The search will continue.

I might wait until tomorrow as last year they released the better seats (those on level 2) later in the week.

[Desipura]

I was going to book undercover but decided against it. Last thing I want is some drunken Collingwood yobbo standing behing me yelling in my ear.

Doesn't matter where you are sitting, there's a better than even money chance you will be copping that. Which incidentally is why I never go to Collingwood games anymore unless they are finals.

Seeing these inbred ignorant morons flooding the exit aisles halfway through the last qtr of the 2006 EF remains one of my favourite football memories. What I wouldn't give to see that again this Saturday night.

[bornadog]

Cheers.

It is going to be jam packed so I wouldn't wait. Mate could only get level 4 on AFL membership.

So my ticket is Q25 row A

[aker39]

There only only 500 seats left in AFL Members area

[bornadog]

Wow, its going to be a massive crowd.

The 2006 crowd was our biggest crowd since 1961 so lets hope we can break that attendance of 84,284

[AndrewP6]

So again the "Special Needs" booking line is engaged. All day every day, apparently. Funny stuff, God. :mad:

[Flamethrower]

N22- undercover in the AFL members.

[azabob]

That is so dodge.
Why can't you call the normal line?

[AndrewP6]

They are apparently unable to take bookings for wheelchair bays. Can't quite figure out why, but that's it. It's the same for other major venues e.g. Rod Laver Arena. Very frustrating (actually thinking of stronger terms but I'll refrain!) when it's the only option and you can't get through.

[LostDoggy]

M 1

Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble AndrewP6. Hope you get your ticket soon. Ticket agencies are a disgrace. :mad:

[ratsmac]

M1-P Row N. Does anyone know what the 'P' means? I hope it doesnt mean Put with Pillow biting, Pin head, Penis breath, Prick ,Parasite, Pecker head, Poor collingwood supporters.

Probably Premium or Prime. I bought Standard & mine are M56-S.

[BulldogBelle]

I thought I posted mine up. :)

Level 2A - P9 - Row A

[Mantis]

Held out and got tickets on Level 2A - P4.

The AFL/ ticketek are a joke.

THIS!!!!!

Spent 20 mins on hold this arvo, finally got through. The woman reliably informed me the club members sale finished yesterday. So I "calmly" informed her I'd tried for 2 days to get through. They must think all disabled people are happy to spend hours on the phone. She tells me there's probably wheelchair seats available but they'll have to call me back - in the next 2 hours!:mad: They call as I'm driving off from work. I ring back, and they 'have no record' of my previous call!!!:mad::mad:. So I spend another hour on the phone, getting through to one bloke after 45 mins who tells me I've rung the wrong number (the one they gave me!). After sailing round the world and back again, I get a ticket in M53, row NN.

Joke is right, Mantis.

Rant over.

[AndrewP6]

Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble AndrewP6. Hope you get your ticket soon. Ticket agencies are a disgrace. :mad:

Thanks Suz32. I finally got hold of a ticket. I sent an email detailing my issues, got a response (probably automated) which basically said "Thanks for your feedback"

[Scraggers]

Sitting in my lounge chair at home, hurling abuse at the TV, and wishing I could actually be there ... I would fight Ticketek for hours for the chance to watch my team in the finals live !!

[aker39]

Wow, its going to be a massive crowd.

AFL members area is now sold out.

Same same

Got seat row F seats 5-4 :D it's an omen!

[Grantysghost]

Just a quick note guys if your wondering if your seats are undercover as it looks like a wet night for the game, i emailed communications@mcc.org.au and asked whether my seat (lvl 2a southern p section) was undercover and they responded with a prompt friendly response letting me know. Unfortunately for all of us in 2a bring the wet weather gear. Response below.

"Thanks for your email and believe me not at all strange! We get many
people asking the same question.

All bays on Level P of the southern stand are not situated undercover so
it would be wise to bring along your wet weather gear!

We hope you enjoy the match.

Regards,


Communications Coordinator
Melbourne Cricket Club

I'm glad you finally managed to get a ticket AndrewP6 but sorry you had so much trouble. The runaround you were given is an absolute disgrace! :mad:

[AndrewP6]

Hope your undercover.

Me too! I think I am, from memory I've sat in a similar spot before, and it has been.

[Go_Dogs]

Anyone know if M15 GG is undercover?

[aker39]

Anyone know if M15 GG is undercover?

Yes it is. Great seats

[Go_Dogs]

Yes it is. Great seats

Excellent. Thanks for that - the less carry on the better :D

[The Underdog]

I'm in M1 Row Y.
Considering bringing a 2nd set of clothes for the ride home.

I'm a couple of rows in front of you.
I think I'll need to pull out the dryzabone

[LostDoggy]

Your down for the final? good stuff!

[G-Mo77]

Why did I cancel all those seats selected for me under cover. :o

I might have to bring a snorkel tonight.

[Chicago1]

I'll be sitting in front of my computer as ESPN3.com will be showing the match starting at 4.20am Chicago time. I'm going to bed in an hour or so and get up at about 4am. I just made some sausage rolls, using a recipe adapted by ex-pats using ingredients found here. I made some for the NAB Cup Grand Final and they turned out OK. I also have five bottles of James Boag Premium lager left from a trip to Cincinnati in April so I'll be having one of them too. A few hours after the match concludes I'm heading off to Kansas City Missouri to a theme park to ride some roller coasters. Not bad for a 58 year old, eh? ;)

If we beat Collingwood, I'll definitely fly in for the PFs and GF. If we lose I'll probably postpone my trip until the start of the 2011 season. If we lose we'll be playing Saturday evening next weekend. That match will conclude just a few hours before I'm due to fly out, and I just don't want to wait until the last minute to make a decision. Even if we'd win that match, I'm not too sure we'd beat St Kilda in a PF. So the dice are set to roll on how we do against the Magpies. The only two losses I've seen in the nine matches I've been to during my Melbourne visits have been against Collingwood in 2002 and Round 1 this year. I haven't been to a game where we've beaten Collingwood since Round 9 in 1999.

I really, really want to fly to Melbourne next weekend, so c'mon Doggies!

[craigsahibee]

M3 Row AA.

Starting to get really pumped although I am heading off to a funeral in about 40 minutes so the mood is somewhat tempered.

M13 row O. Next to DaDruid I'll be the "Loud Mouthed Shnook"

[Topdog]

It's still not raining in the city. Might not get too much of it at the G

Doesn't seem to be a huge amount of rain around. It's going to be windy as a mother****er though. I think we'll see an absolute turnover fest. Brian could be even more important than usual
