I’m a member with general admission access to a game, how can I guarantee a seat?

I’m a member, will I be forced to upgrade to attend a game?

In Melbourne, the only full reserved game is Anzac Day. There will be general admission (walk-up) access for members at all other matches, which means members will be able to scan in with their membership card. Due to limited capacity, there is no general admission access at Domain Stadium, AAMI Stadium or Simonds Stadium.

I tried to buy a ticket but it says ‘Allocation Exhausted’. Does that mean the game is sold out?
