We are legends members and sit in the Ponsford every week for home and away games, we have never missed a game. By the time the Ticketek lottery let me in to purchase tickets it was after 10.20am and I couldn’t access any seats on level 1 in the Ponsford, including the legends bays. All we could get was level 4.

How the club allowed this to happen is nothing short of a disgrace. All we wanted was somewhere on level 1 in the Ponsford. Very angry
Yes that happened to me as well!

I think it's just lack of draw.

I got tickets in the Great Southern Stand Level 4 in Q4.

Click on the bay and you can see the view

Row A is front row, so you will be 3 rows from the front

There is also this site:

https://aviewfrommyseat.com/venue/Melbo ... et+Ground/

You can also use this site for other venues.

Ticketing for the finals is controlled by the AFL.
Clubs can have some input but the AFL makes all decisions re. venues, sale dates etc.

Is anyone in M15 or do you know anyone sitting in M15? Trying to work out if this is a Collingwood section or not

^ Are you a member and if so did you select Collingwood supporter allocation? I think that will be the only way to guarantee a fully Magpie Bay.
That being said, there will be at least 80,000 Pies supporters, so pretty sure you'll be amongst black and white

We originally had other tickets and just got these today so have no idea if it’s a Collingwood section or not. We want the Ponsford but can’t get in there after sitting there for every game including finals for 10+ years :(

Was weird today. I was looking at the site and was randomly able to get seats in N34, M15, M5 and N3

Only single seats, but looked like they were snapped up pretty quickly.
