AFL Silver Membership Waitlist Number

[Roksman]

I’m in your boat

All for a huge hike in fees if it shakes a few from the tree. Then put them back down please

The silver lining is, the membership still gets us to every game except the GF. We are still getting very good access.... I think I (we) forget that sometimes

Gold are not even getting tickets thanks to those Ticketek campaigners

Too much conmon sense for my liking

Entering my 10th year, currently 2296. Can't remember last years numbers, but movement is getting extremely slow, could be another 5 years before gold.

Edit: So a friend had my position last year as 2541, which means a change of 245 places and potentially another 10 years before gold.

I won't even be living in Victoria anymore, so is it worth keeping a normal membership to keep my position going down...?

7 years and still +10k on the waitlist, I kinda feel bad for complaining now.

Going by how many seats in the AFL members at the GF were obviously not occupied by members (e.g. entire bays of WCE fans) suggests they are lowering the number of members considerably. They don't admit it and just say the slow upgrades are due to "high renewal rate"

Yep I think this is what's happening as well. I got a seat as a Collingwood club member for the GF, but was seated in the AFL members. I would say up until about Q17-Q18 was most likely club members...

There are always seats in the AFL Reserve not allocated to AFL members for the GF. There were stats a few months back in this thread, something like 14k seats going to AFL Members out of a total reserve of something like 21k. This is no reason to reduce the number of Gold Members though. If they want to funnel off a few more GF seats they can do it without changing the number of Gold members.

Usually those seats aren't club members though. They are other forms of membership that get seats in the AFL reserve for the GF, such as life members, medallion club and corporate sponsors. I've never heard of club members sitting in the AFL reserve until this year.

I think it varies year by year. Do we know if they were club members? There are heaps of those $2k packages that get sold in the AFL reserve, a lot of club members end up buying those. Also the AFL may shuffle things around putting some packages/corporate stuff into better parts of the stadium and shaft club members up to level 4 in the AFL reserve. I don't know.

Anyway it doesn't really matter. If they want to put club members into the AFL reserve on GF day there is no need to change the number of Gold members, just means fewer of them end up with a GF seat.

I got my letter and card in the mail today.

Got mine too, 36 years and counting.

Not GF... but in the normal home and away season my Richmond club membership gets me a reserved seat in the AFL members for $9 for Richmond away games at the MCG

7448 down to 7012 joined in 2011.should be gold by what they told me when I signed up but probably 10 years +.
The new mcc

 

[Gralin]

Looking forward to being depressed by how little I've moved in the last 12 months on the list it seems

 

[funk44]

Moved 156 spots

934 to 778

Still years off...

yeah I haven't seen my number move this year but that 8-10 year wait when i joined is looking like a 15-20 year wait by the time I get in, which is annoying as I thought I was going to get in last year based on how quickly i was moving the last few years, now I could be looking at another 10 years.....

 

[Fozdog]

6 Years in and still at 11,500

Hmmm moved from 2500 to 2250 and joined Jan 2010. Still a mile off as well

The AFL members are fast facing the same issue as MCC, in that the uptake of Silver members is massively above the volume of Gold members who don’t renew.

Will end up with a massive pool of silver members who spend 20-30+ years waiting for Gold status...as Gold members won’t give up their status.

 

[the harry]

The wait isn't the whole issue though, the lack of transparency about it all makes it so much worse.

Hopefully once the gold members get their MCC membership they will drop off.

I dont think people will handle waiting 40 years for Gold membership. Its almost better value to just get GA membership and pay 1-2K whenever your club makes the GF

My daughter has been a member for 8 years and is 6634

 

[LanceRomance]

I am around 3000 and it is looking the wait is at least another 12 years at this rate.


I have a feeling silver AFL members have sold out.
