I purchased General Admission unreserved.. If it's a sellout will I get knocked back?

Going nice and early...
Called the club your fine, have to get there early if you want a
decent seat though!
16 game is guaranteed entry and same applies, we always stand
so rock up as ready a few warm ups in the locker room and
aints ur bishes  ;D

Will get there around 6 :D Expect level 3 row 1

Sorry Mrakov bought my reserve seats and we are Row A on the third level.
They must be reserving the first 6-8 rows on the third level and making the rest general admission.

Aisle 1?

The last time we beat the Saints way back in 2003 was a Easter Monday IIRC and thousands of Tiger supporters couldn't get into Etihad and were turned away. Friday night could be a repeat of that unless the AFL gives notice soon the game will be fully ticketed.

From speaking to club it is too late for that - They have already sold GA with no seating allocated and have to honor that!

What will happen to the guys that bought GA then ?

By the way any MCCers tickets are only 35 for level 2 seats.

Then the AFL will have egg on their faces as they did in 2003 if they have to lockout fans who turn up wanting to buy a ticket.

What makes it worse is the only MCG games this weekend are Essendon vs Melbourne despite Etihad being the Bombers home ground and on Sunday the crowd pulling blockbuster Collingwood vs Gold Coast  :huh. In the old days our game would've been moved to the 'G so no one missed out on going.

Looks like that is what's gunna happen, gunna be a lot of angry punters but hey if you know your footy you get organized, will be mostly woodworkers and showgoers that will be stuck outside.
It's going to be a fiasco and with the late 19:50 start there will be more fun with the inept Public transport system afterwards, something I look forward to sooooo much going to that sh!thole  :banghead
Tigers win and I'll take it all in stride though  ;D

I left it to my better half to organise the tickets as there will be a group of us going. After reading this thread I asked her if she got reserved or just general and she doesn't know  :banghead . Some will be getting there real early I think so looks like someone will have to pull out the blanket across the seats trick. Might have to knock off work early, but there really is no easy way around traffic to Etihad from the Nepean :(

What happened in 2003 was people turned up without pre-purhased tickets as you say MT they were wanting to buy = they just tried to just get in on the day.

If you already have a a pre-purchased ticket for Friday night whether it be a reserve seat or just GA the stadium must honour it so people like Mrakov who have a ticket for the day must be & are guaranteed entry. Sadly, they will most likely have to sit up the back of level 3 but they will get in

Those that face the risk of being turned away are those who turn up Friday night and try and get in on a 16 gamer m'ship. If all tickets (reserve & GA) are sold out before then your 16 gamer wont get you in and there is no avenue to complain because the fine print on all memebership says it will get you in "subject to ground capacity".

Would suggest anyone thinking of going get a bloody ticket to avoid disappointment  ;D

I assume that Etihad would have a rough idea in regards to how many GA people will stand.

Absolutely they would so anyone with a pre-purchased GA ticket will get in
