Blah-Blah Bar / Re: RIP Tony Mundine
Last post by Blue Moon -
Tony Mundine was an excellent fighter, he had a couple of flaws in his technique which made him hittable at times which cost him career wise, but his biggest problem was the World Champion was Carlos  Monzon, close to the greatest Middle Weight of all time. There are so many World Championship Belts floating around today that Tony Mundine would be a World Champion but back then there was only two, and they were held by Monzon.
Clearly he was a good dad to his son Anthony, which is the best thing any bloke can be.
R.I.P Tony Mundine.

This is all they have.

Unreserved and reserved seating areas will be available throughout the Members’ Reserve for the AFL Finals Series.

Members will be able to reserve a seat on Levels 1, 2 and 4 of the Members’ Reserve via Ticketek. Any unallocated reserved seating, along with designated unreserved seating areas, will be made available as unreserved seating on the match day on a first-in, first-served basis, subject to capacity and availability.

Seat tickets for unreserved seating will be distributed on Levels 1, 2 and 3 for all Finals matches. Seat tickets will only be given to members and guests who are present at the time.

Don't change your story. We all know MCC has walk up seats.
There are no more tickets on sale.
I'm not changing any story, I've been telling you the same thing all along, you've assumed the GA Public, AFL and Clubs means "everybody"!

btw., The MCC Unreserved and Standing Room aren't necessarily walk up seats, if they don't sellout they are, MCC Full and Restricted Members can reserve them as well as guest passes online today from 9am, then collect them at the gates before entering the MCC Reserve. If a member changes mind they can unreserve them for sale at the gate on the day, they do not even have to be paid for until collected.

It's a long standing point of contention between the MCC and it's Members, and the primary cause of "Sellouts" having heaps of vacant seats everywhere in the MCC reserve. Members reserve seats, never collect or never release them, and just don't turn up leaving them unsold.

Regardless of what the AFL, Media and ticket vendors tell you, it won't be a sellout until they are all gone, that's just a hard fact. The resellers have run out of seats, not the MCG!

My old man was a huge fan of the old TV RIngside days. He absolutely loved Tony Mundine the boxer. He went on to be an even better person who fought the good fight for his people.
Same here, my father had a bit to do with Tony Mundine on the issues of indigenous housing and domestic violence, this would have been back in the 70s or 80s, had nothing but praise for him. Dad said he was quite quietly spoken, almost a bit shy, but when he spoke people listened and that could get things done.

Full and Restricted members, and Annual Guest Card holders, who have not reserved a seat will still be able to access unreserved seating and standing room in the MCC Members’ Reserve by scanning their membership card at Gate 2, subject to capacity.
The MCC unreserved seating and standing room tickets can be purchased online today from 9am today by Full or Restricted MCC Members.

These are the seats in the bays behind the benches that you see people queuing up at the gate to get their preferred seat, they are always unreserved because they are not undercover and a couple of rows suffer the drip line from the stands above. It's been the same procedure for nearly 20 years. When they go it is officially a sellout, not when the AFL or Public seating sells out.
