Be interesting to see how all this is affected when the new seating arrangements for members at the G are announced.
You just know we are going to get screwed over.

It'd be nice for us to deviate away from the scarf/hat mix.

It'd be nice to get one when you pay for it

I am a Ultimate Legends Member that has Reserved Seats

Want to sit with Pies Fans but Tonight a lot of Idiot Scum Fans around me

 

[raymond35]

As the Pies go past 100,000 members, StKilda are selling 3 game memberships for $1
May as well just make them completely free.

Is the Brisbane game sold out? Ticketmaster is saying there are only $130 tickets available.

Wouldn't let me member upgrade to a reserved seat
Does anyone know if there will there be general admission seating for club members?

The club hasn't sent any emails regarding the game either

Members with GA access will be let into the game as it’s not a fully ticketed from what I understand.

Hi is the game this Saturday sold out? Or can I can I scan my general admission membership to get in?

Game isn’t sold out but I’m not sure if there will be any GA scan ins for members. If you want to be safe maybe just upgrade to a reserved seat as that’s what I’ve done.

My partner bought a 3 game flexi membership today and the barcode isn't showing up in the mymagpies account under the barcode tab, why isn't it showing up?

Go to the app, then member card at the top, then it should bring up events. The game should be there. Does the barcode not appear? Usually you should be able to add it your phone wallet.

What's going on with the Geelong game next week? I have a Legends GA membership and had checked multiple times to make sure this one wasn't fully ticketed and it wasn't. NOw all of a sudden it is listed as fully ticketed but I am unable to book a ticket with my membership barcode. Does anyone know what the go is?

That’s correct, but at least we now know we will find out soon. Only posted in case some people didn’t receive letter and might need to contact club to update their details.

That sounds very much like the new deal isn’t going to be great.

A MESSAGE FROM JEFF BROWNE ​ I write to advise you the Collingwood Football Club, together with the MCC (Melbourne Cricket Club) and other tenant clubs, have finalised a new five-year arrangement for the Ponsford Stand. The Club has worked tirelessly to ensure the new agreement would achieve the best possible result for the Club’s incredibly loyal Members and, as a result, we are pleased to advise we have been able to retain the same number of seats for all nine home games at the MCG each season. We have also retained access to the same total number of seats across the Ponsford Stand for all away games at the MCG with an increase in access to Level 1 and Level 4 seats and a corresponding reduction in access to Level 2 seats for away games, depending on the opposing home team. We want to be transparent with all Members – the reality of going through this process was that there would be change and we want to assure you we left no stone unturned to limit the changes for our Club and our valued Members. While every effort has been made to ensure our agreement with the MCC remains the best in the AFL competition, we understand there will be some Members who feel disappointed with the deal we have reached. We have been in the MCG’s Ponsford Stand since our move from Victoria Park in 1999 and more broadly, have been integral to the success of the stadium in the decades since. No other Club provides the atmosphere like Collingwood fans do and it is no coincidence that when the Magpie Army’s chants are echoing throughout the ‘G’, we play our best footy. When we win, our players love giving back to the Ponsford Stand and that won’t change. We are pleased that through these negotiations, we have been able to retain the same changerooms and race, ensuring our players get to run out with our supporters for every match played at the MCG – home or away – and celebrate with everyone when the final siren sounds. SUMMARY OF THE UPDATED MCC AGREEMENT Collingwood plays 14 home-and-away games at the MCG each season, nine of them are home games and five are away games. Home games at the MCG - Collingwood’s Member access to the Ponsford Stand remains the same for all nine home games at the MCG with the Club retaining the same number of seats, in the same location for each of those games. Away games at the MCG - Collingwood retains the same number of seats across the Ponsford Stand, however, there will be a varied impact to Level 2 access depending on who the opposing home team is. Further details listed below: Away games at the MCG against Hawthorn and Richmond: Collingwood will have access to all seats on Levels 1 and 4 in the Ponsford Stand. Level 2 seats in the Ponsford Stand will not be available. Members with access to a Ponsford Stand Away Game Reserved Seat will need to participate in a seat registration process in the period leading up to the game. Members with Level 2 reserved seats for other MCG away games will be given priority access. Please note: The Club will officially request and lobby the AFL to avoid fixturing an away game against both Richmond and Hawthorn in the same season moving forward. Away games at the MCG against Carlton, Essendon or Melbourne: Collingwood will have access to all seats on Levels 1 and 4 in the Ponsford Stand. Collingwood will have a set allocation of Level 2 seats in the Ponsford Stand. Members will be allocated a set Reserved Seat for Away games against these opponents which features marquee games each season (i.e. Peter Mac Cup, ANZAC Day and King’s Birthday Big Freeze games). Away games at the MCG against any other AFL team not listed above: - All seating on Levels 1, 2 and 4 will be available to Collingwood Members in the Ponsford Stand. Level 2 Hospitality for impacted Away games at the MCG: - Access to the Harrison Room (Legends Lounge on Level 2) will not be available to Collingwood Members for away games at the MCG against Carlton, Essendon, Hawthorn, Melbourne or Richmond. A new premium Membership will be introduced in 2024, featuring access to an exciting and new Victoria Park Social Club to be launched ahead of the 2024 Premiership season. As a result of these adjustments, we will introduce new tiered Membership packages for the Ponsford Stand. Each impacted Member will receive a direct phone call from the Club’s Membership team to discuss all options to best personalise their access for 2024. The tiered memberships will see more consistent pricing which will be based on the location and view from the seat which is standard practice across stadiums in the AFL and across the events and sporting industry worldwide. Collingwood remains committed to delivering the best at-match experience for our Members and increase the access and connection to our Club throughout the year. We don’t ever take for granted the support of the Magpie Army and on behalf of the Board, our athletes, and staff at Collingwood, we thank every single Member and supporter for their unwavering commitment to our Club. For Members who currently hold an MCG Away Seat, our Membership team will call you directly from Thursday, August 9. We will also directly communicate with the 90,000 Collingwood Members who will not be impacted. Jeff Browne Collingwood President

Thank God i don't need to move.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Says I’m “impacted”.

Will be receiving a call from the club in the coming days to discuss away seating options for 2024 and beyond.

Unfortunately, it was inevitable that some members would be left disappointed.

 

[barrackers]

Thank God i don't need to move.

Do you only have a home seat? If not, sounds like everyone will be reallocated with priority given to level 2 members.

Not sure why those not in level 2 are being forced to change. Also it defeats the purpose of a reserved seat if you need to prebook for away games against the tuggers and hawks,

Even as a level 1 reserved member for away games I see this deal as a major win. It could have been so much worse and yet we still retain 15k away seats.
