AFL Silver Membership Waitlist Number Part 2

[Jeremias]

I don't think that's possible in you passing on your membership once the membership holder passes away, aa there would be no new members

It is definitely possible - and not particularly difficult to excute.

At no point have I ever been asked to verify that I am alive.

It does. The $409 includes a one off $99 joining fee. $310 isn’t that bad in the years thereafter.

I've thought this for years, but it is so bizarre the way AFL membership advertises its prices. Website clearly says $409 yearly, which isn't correct. Most normal advertising would say $310 yearly with an asterisk or note indicating a $99 joining fee. It's a weird case of false advertising that makes the product seem more expensive than it really is.

It's happened before. A lawyer was found guilty of professional misconduct for impersonating a dead client for over a decade.






So notorious that the card itself is in the Australian Sports Museum collection now.

20/21 were the years the upgrades went off the rails due to covid , also lapsed gold members were offered to get back into afl pretty much for a yearly membership.that corrupted the queue

Waitlist went up about 700/800 those years. In 2017/18 it went up by 600 and 300 respectively.

Seems like he might have been outdone by the age of the pic not matching the birth cert?

This man was 79 at the time of the article being printed, and it wasn’t until he had to provide photo ID that this issue was eventually detected. The dead client passed in 1997 and who knows, could have been over 100 according to his birth cert in 2013 if still alive, hence the photo/age mismatch. This wouldn’t affect an AFL membership in its present format.

Also regarding BDM, if this is true, is it a Vic thing only? There’s only so far the AFL could go with this.. what if somebody died interstate or overseas and wasn’t a permanent Vic resident (ie interstate member etc).

I recall that the MCC was tipped off about the lawyer.

I received the email about discounted cricket tickets today. I noticed it was only for the ODI and Tests. Is that a change or has the BBL always been excluded?

BBL has never been included.

Thanks for the reminder for cricket tickets.

 

[Cyberdyne]

sorry for the grim post, but given the lack of enforcement it does make you wonder how many renew the Gold membership of a dead relative.

If and when will they do photo id?

Are the N level seats in the AFL Members for the cricket in the shade most of the day, or only the ones towards the back

 

[TigerR]

Boxing Day had 3 bays on level 2 before you could put in a barcode which then disappeared 15 minutes before they went on sale. I am fed up with the crap from the AFL.

Yes.Maybe not the first few rows.

No Level N on Boxing Day, but there are some on the other Days.

I ended up in M26 JJ which I assume will be in the shade all day

Gotta find more seats for the "premium" packages.

Yeah none available at all at go time, treating us with utter contempt

Yes. If you google MCG drip line you will get to https://mcg.org.au/_/media/files/mcg/general/undercover-seating.pdf which tells you up to row Y gets you wet. The sun will hit a few rows behind of course (in the morning) but not JJ.

I went for row FF on level 1.There was no way I was sitting in 2A in the sun all day.
I am going to MCC on days 2 and 3 which I am looking forward to more!

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

Got N for day 2. Looking at the general admin they are $165 for N so $30 is pretty good value.

Level N is undercover, Sun might be an issue for the first couple of rows. But there will always be plenty of empty seats around.

Haven't had Ticketek crap out on me that many times in ages.
