The Golden Glenferrie
Norm Smith Medallist
I was happy with Bronze and silver waitlists when the reserve has the old capacity. Now the capacity is getting eaten away each year, it's making it a real jungle out there just to attend games.

Bronze went from 10 MCG games to 15 MCG/Marvel games this yearWaaait, you also get access to Marvel matches with Bronze now?
I was going to test my GA ticket anyway since I downloaded it today, buy queues were massive. AFL Members half full for tge start. Joke.
We've moved into free seats. Big blocks emptyI was going to test my GA ticket anyway since I downloaded it today, buy queues were massive. AFL Members half full for tge start. Joke.
You could ask AFL. If enough of us do it they might start listening.The crew of lads in front of me tonight who were from Bunbury had never even been to the MCG before. how are they getting into the AFL Members area? they're not corporates, they're not even club supporters. I'd love to know what's going on.

Yeah it was weird. 12 seats in front of us L4 Row C just empty. Good for me to move but not for punters missing outSat with some friends today in the Public reserve and noticed lots of weird gaps, especially on Level 4. The three level 2 bays we get were full though which looked funny with the barely half full Medallion Club seats either side. I understand the weather was crap, but the game was standing room only when i looked last night and the last bay was mostly empty up the top and that would’ve been sold with the forecast pretty obvious.
I'd support this if they extended it to Medallion Club. It would give us back most of those seats.Introduction of a points or loyalty system that rewards attendance and unlocks other features and benefits for members - Yes
id be very cautious on this one, would encourage people to lend their memberships or ask people to scan their barcodes just to show they have attended when they actually haven’t , to get their attendance upFrom the survey sent out.. my responses.
- A Grand Final ticket ballot system that rewards the level of engagement and attendance over the season Yes
Yeah i don't want this.id be very cautious on this one, would encourage people to lend their memberships or ask people to scan their barcodes just to show they have attended when they actually haven’t , to get their attendance up
No chance they extend it. They will just reserve L1 open and further eat away at the capacityI'd support this if they extended it to Medallion Club. It would give us back most of those seats.
Agreed. I would do just that with my kids' tickets when they can't make it or my own ticket when I am otherwise planning to scan in at gate 3 with my Richmond reserved seat ticket.id be very cautious on this one, would encourage people to lend their memberships or ask people to scan their barcodes just to show they have attended when they actually haven’t , to get their attendance up
I think you have a good suggestion. The problem is that there are 30000 Gold members with less than 1000 a year getting promoted. If the AFL allocate Golds only 16000 tickets or so (a disgrace) then to you are looking at at least 14 years and probably more like 25 years of no promotions to ensure this would work.If there's a waiting list for Gold membership, I don't understand why there can't be a waiting list for GF access if you're a competing club support member.
I wouldn't mind waiting a few more years for gold membership and a much increased chance of going to the GF every year, if, somewhere between that and actually getting the membership, I'll be able to use it to go to a Dogs GF.
You can burn this off by not promoting silvers to gold just yet, but promoting them to silver plus. Then when golds die off, you can promote from silver plus to gold at a certain rate (say 1/2 of the rate from silver to gold plus).
So say Gold takes 25 years waiting list, but silver plus takes 15-20 years waiting list, as it stands, or whatever
Maybe a ballot could be introduced among members within the silver plus system with a reasonable chance of getting a ticket (say 1/3+% chance)
This seems a lot more reasonable than the systems they've suggested in the survey.
