Literally had this discussion yesterday, they will ask to see the photo and that’s it.
Unless of course and eagle eye attendant notices a discrepancy.
If you look enough like the owner you’ll be fine.

Apparently they give you a ticket and you can leave.

Vicky Park can shed some light on this.

MCC members can queue up on Sat morning for about 7,000 walk up seats available, plus (I think) standing room spaces. Members gate opens at 8am (TBC), you go straight to the walk up areas (which they tell you about and guide you to) and then you stay seated until given a ticket. You can then come and go as you please, and many go home or whatever and then return for the game. If you stay at the G, there’s entertainment, lots of food options etc, so not a bad day (except for the overwhelming anxiety of Collingwood being in it).

But - you can’t save a seat for anyone.

And - if you’re using someone else’s Membership card, and you get caught, they forfeit their membership. That’s it for them, no more MCC membership. It’s a risk for them, after waiting decades to get in.

P.S. I’ve seen people in the members on GF day who I know are not members, so it does happen.

Long shot… If you know anyone looking to sell, my friend is in the market, he missed out due to an error. Any ticket, DM me.

 

[Piepiepie]

Sorry for the intrusion, but grab them a pair of those noise reduction earmuffs. Here is a set to give you an example. Standing room is much louder than seats for some reason and we all know you Pies supporters are loud to being with! The last thing you want is to have to leave your standing room position because the noise is to much for little ears. Even if they do not get used, it's a good trick to have up your sleeve just in case.

Enjoy the game! This kiddo is about to make some memories for life.

Agree with this. Ear muffs and lots of encouragement! Have fun!

Questions for anyone who's an MCC and lined up for a ticket the day of the granny. Would love it if you could help me out.

I'm using my step brothers MCC and wants me to take Dad. believe he's a full member, Am I only eligible for a single ticket? Or can I buy 2 or even 3 tickets?

Will I be fine just taking my step bros MCC membership card? We look enough alike in the photo ID for it to not concern me, but will they ask for a driver's license too? Do they ask for anything else on top of the membership card?

will the tickets be allocated seats?

See my above post on this.

One MCC member’s card will only provide for one person access on GF day, after queuing up on Sat morning. You can’t buy a ticket with the card, and can’t buy tickets for anyone else. It just gets you access to the Members Reserve.

BTW, the Members Reserve was full about 45 minutes after the gate opened at 5 on Friday night. I don’t recall that happening before, so quickly. The reserve will also fill up quickly on Saturday morning.

Still looking for three tickets here. Will meet anywhere in Melbourne or Mornington Peninsula. DM me.

Carn the pies pies pies!

 

[Ligma]

Just looking for one ticket, for my dad, don’t care if it’s standing or what not.

 

[Everybody Panic]

No doubt about those sentiments. It's even more stark over here in Perth where they spent $2billion of the people's money a stadium that offers mostly luxurious conditions for rich people in private boxes, and a slightly better standard to the average punter...... and I say that having spent $400 for two tickets during the year to sit on the wing and just not be able to gain access to the private conditions provided to people who often dont pay themselves.....remembering the stadium was built with public money.

The reality is the game is funded by ordinary people who pay taxes, by ordinary people who buy foxtel and by ordinary people who buy tickets to the game. And yet tickets are given to the elite and ordinary people are excluded.

The game is funded by media and corporate deals. Lots of woe is me but companies who sponsor to the tune of millions of dollars are going to get some tickets.

 

[neilk]

Agree with this. Ear muffs and lots of bribery! Have fun!

Fixed it for you.

I checked my Ticketek Account just says something Unexpected Happened

 

[pz5151]

Just checked my ticketek and it says my seat is in SQ12-2 row CC. Assuming that means Q12 in top of Southern Stand which is around the 50m line. What does the 12-2 indicate?

Did and keeps coming up

I stood next to Mum in ‘79 as a 12 year-old

It was fine (apart from Harmes etc)

Height will be the key

So, either get there early and be at front, or have a bag she can stand on with a couple of hard cushions inside. Probably can’t bring in a milk crate or step

Noise can be fantastic because it rebounds off ceiling

Cheers mate.

Q8 Row DD.

Looks like the final row of the bay.

i've seen the NAB ads...but obviously not enough of them

 

[abakus]

Got 2 tix in M26 standing. Weird cos that’s normally AFL members area.

Probably a long shot but keen to swap them for 2 x seats, even restricted viewing. PM if anyone is keen.

 

[Mkcaptain]

I got Q54. Does anyone know what way the stage is facing for the presentations?

 

[London Pie]

Q8 row R, happy enough with that, happy to be there as part of the 19th man!!!

Let’s get loud, let’s get boisterous, let’s send the Lions back up north licking their wounds!!!

Up the Pies!!!!!

its strange how i can buy things from companies in china on aliexpress without problems and yet year after year ticketek and their mates blow up issuing simple electronic tickets....

they should give the contract to a gambling company. They know how to extract money efficiently....
