Dont' think so

Coterie members and certain reserve seat holders will get seats in Level 2 of the Ponsford stand is my understanding

People holding the cheapest reserve seats don't (Access Plus ? ??)

But don't hold me to it  ;D

I am a 3121 member (seeing they took away Players Club - yes I am still flithy about it  ;D) and got an email last week about the replacement game and it said 3121 members have access to reserve seats on Level 2 of the Ponsford stand.

At the Melbourne game in 2009 (Jordie's kick after the siren one  :P) we were seated in the Ponsford Stand ground level southern side next to the AFL members reserve. Not sure what is happening this year though.

I'm a 3121 coterie member but I'll just go to the game with a few mates and just sit in the top deck of the Olympic Stand so we can sit together. I'll pass on the Ponsford Stand seats.

MEMBERSHIP TICKETING ARRANGEMENTS

Round 2, St Kilda v Richmond
Friday 1st April, MCG, 7.40pm

Hi OE,

Friday night Richmond tackle St Kilda under lights at the MCG.  This is a Richmond replacement game, to substitute one of the home games we have moved interstate this season. 

As an access member, you will have entry entitlements via your 2011 membership card.
 
With your general admission membership, you will have access to the GA areas allocated by the MCG as per a normal home game.

If you are attending this Friday night and haven't decided where to sit, the Richmond cheer squad will be at the Ponsford Stand end, entry via Gate 1.  As all Richmond reserve seat members will also be sitting on the 1st and 2nd levels, let's fill the 3rd tier with Richmond members/supporters. 

Let's make our presence felt and support the boys with a sea of yellow and black in the Ponsford Stand.

How to access your Replacement Game:
Please ensure you bring along your 2011 membership card and head to either Gates 1, 3, 4, 5 or 6 at the MCG where you will need to scan your membership card.

We look forward to seeing our passionate Tiger Army out in force on Friday Night for what will be an exciting clash.

If you have any questions regarding these arrangements, please do not hesitate in emailing Member and Supporter Services at membership@richmondfc.com.au or phoning 1300 RICHMOND (1300 742 466).


Make no mistake...The Tiger is Stirring

Premium Plus is a little different. I was hoping for Level 2 seating similar to what I have bought with my membership but alas no such luck.

Correct !! :thumbsup

Yeah and there is seating undercover on Level 1 in the sections available so what's the problem  :-\

The club promised an area for members to sit and they are supplying that. They made it very clear that we wouldn't have our normal reserve seats available and we would be given an area to sit...

People I feel for are those who have a 16 game membership because these replacement games mean nothing to them because with a 16 game membership you have access to the game anyway. You've basically paid for 16 games but only have access to 14...  :whistle :whistle

Problem is that we upgraded and paid extra to sit on level 2 for home games-undercover or not.

Yes but this is not a HOME game - it is a REPLACEMENT game, for a home game that the Club has sold. Our seats don't apply in this case because it isn't OUR home game
