MCC members are actually members of the cricket club. I don't know what we are but we have no rights to anything except access to games.

Correct, that’s last years number. They wouldn’t give me an updated number until November because it will depend on how many people accept the upgrade

I think AFL membership was originally VFL Park membership. But when I joined it in mid 90's it was already called AFL membership so it had more than just VFL Park membership. I assume when it was just VFL Park it allowed someone to park at VFL Park for free and attend all the night series matches free and any match there during the season.
Since VFL Park got sold to allow profiteers to steal matches from there to Docklands it simply a access membership to both grounds but not nothing much beyond that. When I first joined I could use it to attend matches at Princes Park too. It had reciprocal rights at places like Football Park, Subiaco and Sydney too. I attended matches at those grounds with my AFL membership in late 90's and early 2000's.
Early days
One thing the AFL Membership had going for it was the dress regulations
The MCC demanded a collared shirt and socks to the knees if wearing shorts (I believe this has been 'relaxed' a little)
Pre COVID - in the AFL you could take a beer back to your seat
The MCC you had to remain at the bar - or behind glass (again, I believe this has been relaxed)
Access to Dockland games has been a win for AFL Members - but as we know - we've lost a few seats to the 'Medallion Club'
The Shane Warne Stand will be undergoing a $1billion redevelopment (work starting in about 5 years)
Then 'WE' will have the best facilities of a $105,000 people stadium (wonder who will get those extra seats - not 'US')
The DISDAIN with which we are treated will always & sadly remain

Anyone know the go with Marvel stadium in regards to AFL members? Do we have a reserved area or can i just show up and enter and sit in general admin? Also do we have a members bar or anything like that? Yeah I am one of those Tigers that doesn't usually venture to Marvel, but thinking of going tonight.

You can scan in for GA on level 3.
Or you can pay a $9 booking fee to get seats on level 1.
They turn one of the function rooms into a makeshift bar for the AFL members on the wing.

awesome thanks mate. What level is the makeshift bar usually?
Level 1. Almost centre wing. About aisle 9.
Roast beef rolls and beer in a glass. Not too bad.

There used to be 3 bays on level 1 Aisles 6-8 I think it was where AFL members could get walk up seats. And its not far from the members bar which helps

Aisles 8-9 are walk ups for AFL members tonight on Level 1. Always good to check the “Around the Grounds” section of the weekly email
Yeah, there is a couple of aisles on level one for AFL members at Docklands but think unless you pre-booked a seat there earlier in week, you probably have to head to level 3 to take a seat there.
There have been AFL Member walkup aisles on level 1 for a lot of non Essendon/Carlton games this year. Tonight is aisle 8 and 9.
Also pays to check Marvel Twitter on game day, tonight there are 16 other general admission aisles on level 1. Similar 2 weeks back for Hawks 'home' game against Crows.

Sounds about right
Is the Bloos/Pies game all sold out?
Some standing room tickets still left but not many I don’t think

Appears that way. General Public is Sold Out, and even though AFL members shows standing room available, it says not available when you try to click through.
Yeah when you click through I got that too. Clearly not updated the page properly yet

According to Ticketek, both MCG games go on sale at midday on Tuesday.
Surely they could’ve spaced them out by an hr or 2?
I’m expecting the site to crash by 12.01pm

I have no idea why they do this - do they not understand the servers get overloaded every time and also people may want to attend multiple games?
Anyone else looking at the AFL Members dining that goes on sale at 8am but the time says 1 hr 18 mins until it goes live?
A good start.
A good start.
Crazy!! Space then out. One at 10 and one at noon.
