I agree totally, I didn't understand the ballot questions anyway, how do they come up with the different percentages as an example of member access to tickets? Are they talking about members in the ballot who would be club support members? Or all other members once club support had a go? How is one 80% and one is 60% chance??
Same as this one how is option 2 60% chance and option 3 is 80% chance??

I presumed they’re siphoning off ticket access to different groups (Medallion Club, Telstra/sponsors) etc in framing those questions that way and trying to justify fans being happy to accept lower AFL member ticket allocations for a “better” offering. I blasted them about the inconsistent options in my comments on the off chance that that was the intent.
In any case, a lot of the scenarios posed were nonsensical from a value perspective. An utter waste of time.
Currently yes.
Nah they only get access to a presale. Their reserve is completely open to anyone for concerts.
Pre-sales isnt that exclusive.. sign up to live nation or have a Mastercard/visa and your in
Not exactly. Random checks in the MCC involve asking to see tickets/membership card regardless of whether a person is a member or guest. No reason it couldn't work the same inside AFL; the photo ID only becomes relevant if you're a member, not if you're on a guest, club or corporate ticket.
I don't think MCC gets walk up access to anything apart from footy and the regular cricket season. Even cricket World Cups aren't covered.
I agree AFL members could get a better deal on events at Marvel and same for the MCG i.e. not just cricket

100% it's getting siphoned off.
If the AFL are making changes, it's in the benefit of the bottom line and not members.

The only half good bar that you can get into without an L2/L2A is the bunton. Even then it's gone down hill.

Interestingly they're they seem to be pushing a bit an reduction in game access. Down from 40.
They're up to something. And it's not going to benefit the average AFL member.

I'm sure they have the data, but I'd be surprised if more than 100 afl members go above 30 games a year.

Id be one of them. I'll easy hit over 30 in a couple of weeks.
I’ll be over 30 by the end of the year. Though not all games will have been through my AFL Membership (Silly Geelong).

I rarely get to more than 10 games a year these days so I'd happily take a reduction in the number of games for some other payoff (reduced membership free, free reserved seats undercover level 1 or 2) but not just a reduction in game access for the same price with no other perks.

I saw the ‘95 PF & GF as a restricted (Silver you’d call it now) member after winning a ticket in the ballot, which existed back then.

Mate, you may as well try and bring back the multi-coloured pass-outs.
Everything is on phone now to enter and even exit the ground. It’s Bluetooth, QR code or bar code. Gone are the days where the bloke in the blue dust coat at the turnstile would punch a hole in your card as you entered.
It’s made entry by card about as dated as using a Sony Walkman. And I say this as a stickler for getting a physical card every season.
With modern privacy laws and instances of data breaches, you could probably argue that you object to the AFL having a photo of you.
That horse has flown.

MCC has a photo ID. The MCC app has the same photo. The AFL could do the same

Exactly, I just asked someone at work and they showed me the MCC app, it is basically a representation of the card with the photo on it. I'm sure some tech savvy people would find a way to doctor it but it would be streets ahead of what we have now.
And not just that. Reserved seat tickets on Ticketek for members themselves don't even have a barcode, as they're still required to use the photo ID card/app to enter the ground. Massively disincentives the type of membership sharing that happens inside the AFL Reserve where the reserved seat ticket is a shareable ticket with an individual barcode.
Checked the the presale link for that Kpop show as someone I know is interested, and it just sends you to the LiveNation sign up page, which anyone can join anyway. So a bit pointless.

Has anybody done their Vicroads digital id?
That would work as a membership system
