! URGENT ! Regarding Tickets For Thursday Night

[Hes My Hero]

Hi Everyone.
I just received an email you may be interested in.
It is from The Richmond Cheersquad of which we are members.

Here is the sentence i refer to.

The club has just been advised that Thursday nights game will be a ticketed match. 

This is a legitimate email in which i have no reason to think the info is false.

This may explain the situation a bit better.

Not sure if this is correct but i interpret as this :

Although the amount of bays on the ground level may be reduced. Top level would be a no brainer for GA. But the more sought after seats may be allocated to reserved seating. Does that sound right ?

It still seems strange that a game expected to attract a crowd 30k less than capacity would be made fully ticketed  ???. Are the MCC expecting Tiger supporters as away fans to fill up the GA sections while the MCC, AFL members and Blues members reserve are half-empty?  ???.

[dizza]

so does this mean no GA walk-up tickets are available?

Lets clear this up.

Only the lower level is ticketed, thus it effects the cheer squad only. There is still GA etc on the top level.

Can we get a clear, straight answer?

Are you able to purchase GA tickets at the MCG tomorrow night?
