The AFL never mention MCC Visitor ticket sales I don't believe, plus all the walk up MCC members.....so I assume the MCC are expecting a fair turnout in the reserve (capacity 23,000), plus a decent wack of ticket sales to the public between now and Sunday...saintsRrising wrote:I think?? that they have so far sold 55,000 tickets.

I see they open very early. I was going to arrive about 12.30.
Is there any chance of not getting a park around that time ?

"...If there has been one recurring theme through this whole shocking mess, it has been the misguided, inflated egos and their ill-judged determination to cling to long-standing old boy friendships. The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."

Thanks for the tip Bernard.
I have been asked to pick up my sister in law from East Coburg at around 12pm.
I wasn't too impressed to be honest.
I don't want to be driving around looking for a park that isn't there because she couldn't catch a tram down Nicholson St.
The whereis.com tells me 14 minutes to the G from East Coburg but I'm adding another 15 minutes.
I'm still curious to know what my chances are of parking around the MCG at 12.30pm ?
