Not happy with seat allocation.
by disgruntful. on 5/5/25Marvel Stadium - DocklandsRating: 1 out of 5I purchased a seat for the Essendon v North Melbourne game last week. My seat was on Level 2 Aisle 37 seat 3. Very happy to know that it was in the centre of the oval. Great viewing area. The cost of the ticket was $110.00. Was happy to pay that. When I was guided to my seat by the usher it was right behind a steel guard rail. Very disappointed with that for the price I paid. I remained there for the whole game because of the crowd size. Every time the ball went to the North cheer squad end, my vision was obscured by the rail. I am a North member and when the game was very close near the end of the game, an Essendon player kicked the ball to an unguarded goal line. the ball was bouncing towards the goal posts when an Essendon fan sitting directly in front of me but to the right side of my seat stood up barracking. I told him to sit down whilst the ball was in play. He wasn't happy with my request and we argued. Could've easily got out of hand but I didn't carry on with it. In saying this, if that handrail was not there, then this incident would not have occurred. I would be interested to know if any other supporter has raised the same issue.
