AFL Silver Membership Waitlist Number Part 2

[Bay53]

I remember the old system where you got placed into a different queue on Mobile and it was heaps quicker. And it never caused issues.

The more they fiddled with it, the worse it got. It seems to be much better now.

you can have what ever system you want, it might make the process easier but it doesn't make any more seats.

If more people want tickets than there are tickets available, someone misses out. Who that person who misses out maybe depends on the system used, but no matter how you cut it, someone misses out. This was the same even back in the day when you lined up.

It is the same with the housing crisis, you can make all sorts of rules, but if there are more people than houses, someone ends up living in a tent.

Doubt it will get to Silver no club support. I think the last time I can remember that happening was Swans VS Eagles a few years back.

I am silver member 11 yrs now and still waiting. 6223 in the queue

Thank the AFL for that. Killing the gold painted goose

IIRC the 2015 gf went to Silver no support with everyone sick of Hawthorn, but it is indeed very rare

Well again, yes they set the rules, including who gets what tickets and how much they cost, but supply has never met demand.

Medallion Club, Corporates, MCC Membership, AFL membership etc - they all exist because someone is willing to pay.

I am sure one of the GF's that Hawthorn played, some AFL tickets actually went back to the club members, even silver didn't sell out.

 

[Bulldog Brent]

Has it been confirmed that there will be some tix available for Silver with Competing Club support?

Put a barcode in at 3:59:45 and there were no tickets left even for singles.

 

[eddiesmith]

The AFL have explicitly stated that they don't cap club support numbers but they also stopped publicising the breakdown by club support about 10 years ago. I don't trust anything they say but that is their position.

Yeah they say that but evidence clearly says otherwise as seen below another Hawthorn member who got upgraded earlier!

I joined 05 and was full by 12.

Just shows they were upgrading some clubs earlier than others. A lot of Pies fans would have joined in 03-04 after missing out on grand final tickets.

No, but there hasn't been any confirmation that there won't be either.

 

[eddiesmith]

Do most of you go “best available” or try for specific sections?

I always go for M undercover first in home and away and M open for finals or grand finals. Rarely go best available.

Was probably closed on their server. Happened this morning with Dining

It's more likely people misremember when they joined, or a clerical error has meant they've been passed over.

 

[Seattle Mariners]

There is an argument to say the way to ensure guaranteed GF tickets as an AFL member is become a Collingwood Club Support.

If they make it you get a ticket, if they don't you should be right.

But I would not be able to live with myself.

That's precisely how I got first dibs on tickets for Pies V Lions GF last year.

Yeah it used to suck getting Pendlebury on the cover of your membership card and getting an annual Collingwood scarf but you learn to get over it.

 

[Jeremias]

I usually try for 2A then go to best available when that's not available.

This year - for the first time in my many years as a gold AFL - 2A worked.

Bugger. My son has a Junior AFL Silver Sydney Swans club support membership, he'll be devastated. If anyone knows someone ..... please reach out.

Afl mustve decided to sell the rest with a breakfast for 1500

Nope it never closed. A few single seats in N24 went on sale at 4:20 and then everything was gone.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

This seems suss. AFL have decided to sell the leftovers corporately

 

[Tarkyn_24]

This seems suss. AFL have decided to sess the leftovers corporately

Not like they don’t already treat their members with complete contempt

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Not like they don’t already treat their members with complete contempt

It's very on brand for them. I am absolutely not buying it

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Not like they don’t already treat their members with complete contempt

Eventually they'll get caught out one day.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Oh well, at least I get to save some money.
