Figure of speech- end of the day the MCC are who matters when it comes to the MCG and AFL member take a backseat.

It is a total disgrace what it costs out of Vic to go to a grand final.
A pretty stupid one.
in 1997 the AFL supposedly (i say that cos its BS) surveyed members who asked for the GF to be ticketed as the majority didnt like queueing at 6am. certainly everyone there at 6am that day disagreed wholeheartedly.
so in 1998 was the 1st AFL members ticketed GF. you had to queue up at ticketek for hours on end to ensure you got a ticket to a shitty part of the ground, as opposed to getting your arse into gear and being there at 6am on the day. obviously too many precious types out there wanted the best seats and only have to rock up at 2pm. and of course more money for the likes of ticketek.
i gave up my membership after that - it simply wasnt worth it, compared to the original advantages. the advantages were slowly but deliberately being wittled away to help the corporates get their way. i dont regret my decision as i hear so many complain of the shit they go thru these days.
i saw some great footy in those 7 years tho.
And on a side point, why isn't the 600K being spent on that FAT **** Meatloaf used instead to reduce the cost of GF tickets ? GF entertainment is pathetic as is so why waste all that money ?

Yet you get to go to 50 plus games, as opposed to 14 or so.Then you wait 13 years for full membership. Nice rort
They don't take any tickets away from competing clubs members. The AFL members area is there all season. It's there every game ant the MCG. It doesn't get bigger for the Grand Final. With the club support member of the competing clubs getting a chance to get there tickets early it actually gives more tickets to competing club members as those members are not in an ballot.
Get stuck into the AFL for giving all the Grand Final Tickets to non competing clubs (1000 each club that are scalped. We will give you some bacon and eggs and a ticket to the GF for $2000) or to all these sponsors that don't go all season.
Try 5-7 years, fool.Then you wait 13 years for full membership. Nice rort
Huh? do you have any idea how many AFL members there are that are Collingwood club support and St Kilda? Most of the allocation went to the competing teams.I am "forced" to buy 2 Legends memberships to get that guarantee for myself and my wife. I'm not complaining because I can afford it but if AFL members didn't get tickets a lot more Collingwood (and St Kilda) members would have got tickets last year. You probably wouldn't need an AFL membership to get GF tickets if the AFL distributed the AFL membership allocation (and Median Club and some of the corporate allocations and the goddamned radio station prize tickets etc etc) to competing club members.
HUH? AFL Members ARE club members. We just have a different, and better package. We have just as much a right of a seat than others. Join up, or suck it upPay around $10 a game, virtually nothing for finals tickets and still has the gall to suggest that a 50% discount to club member prices for grand final tickets is getting shafted.
It's a disgrace that AFL members get greater rights to gf tickets than club members, let alone pay less for them.
Grand final tickets are cheap relative to every other big sport.
