Not a clipboard to be seen walking thru Gate 7.
Pink coloured pass out worked a treat
Yep, no clipboards and no queues at gate 7, not sure why people bother with gate 6 for big games, too lazy?

Found this link on one of the AFL Members Facebook pages and thought it worth sharing as some may find it interesting.
Not much we don't know already although I was surprised VFL Park members were given access to an expanded MCC reserve for GF's between 1984-1990. I was wondering what the access was to GF's prior to the Southern Stand being built in 1992. Does anyone know whether VFL Park members had access to finals/GFs at the MCG pre-1984?

Yes, about 1200.
Pausing isn't an option.

My experience living overseas for a few years - you can pay a reduced fee to go absentee, no entitlements aside from moving up the waitlist and a guest pass or two to use.
Think they had during covid
I signed in Feb 2011 and was 2000 on the waitlist this year. Should be around 800 now if 1200 have upgraded to gold.
It will be interesting to hear what number you move to.
Can people decline to be upgraded when the offers come out mid year and then sign up the following year? If so, that may mean your are a little higher than 800.
should find out in a few weeks

1200 were offered but you don't know how many took it up.
At the end of 2021 my sister was around 2100 on the waitlist. Around 1900 were offered upgrades but when she got her renewal notice she had only moved up 1200 spots to around 900.
I emailed AFL membership asking them to explain the discrepancy and they wouldn't answer my questions. I asked them if 1900 were offered but only 1200 took it up why weren't the 700 spots offered to the next in queue? I asked whether this would impact total Gold member numbers in 2022 (ie if they had 30k full members and 1900 dropped off yet only 1200 took up full membership would that mean only 29.3k full members?) I also asked whether those who deferred the full membership option could do so indefinitely or were they offered once and then go to the back of the list.
Like everything to do with the AFL they refused to answer.
Luckily (?) Melbourne didn't make the GF in 2022 so it didn't turn out to be an issue. My sister was eventually upgraded this year.
Heaven forbid you ask a reasonable series of questions!
This year people on this thread reported that they were offered upgrades at different times. So I would guess in that example of your sister, there were 1200 places available for upgrade, but it took 1900 people to be offered an upgrade before they filled those places. People would surely ask before declining so I presume they have been told they will stay at the same spot on the wait list. 700 would not give up the chance of Gold after so long otherwise. (Assuming that is the case, I would not take up Gold when offered until a year later, if my team was not contending that year.)
That is quite a low rate of take up. I am just over 5000 and with people up to 1200 being offered an upgrade this year, I was hoping to drop to 3800 or better, but maybe that won't be the case.

From memory the upgrade offers were all sent at the same time in 2022 (just going by this thread and people saying what their waitlist number was).
Edit - see this post
AFL Silver Membership Waitlist Number
Mate where did you see your waitlist number for this year? Unlike in the past, I've checked everything I've received this year and nothing I emailed them directly and they confirmed it via an email reply.

I have a feeling they can defer the uogarfe until the following year but I don't know whether they can do so indefinitely - if a Kangaroos supporter for example was offered upgrade may as well defer a few years until they're contending for finals otherwise they're paying an extra $170 for nothing really. But if they're knocking back the upgrade and can keep doing so does the impact the speed at which the waitlist moves due to being offered again in subsequent years?

No access to MCG finals pre Southern Stand. They use to have medallions that you just past through the fence for some else to use to gain entry including Grand Finals.
They really need to come clean on this. The only reason for a lack of transparency is to cover up behaviours that, at a minimum, don’t pass the pub test

You can drop to Bronze. That's safe and you will still progress
I got my "welcome to AFL membership" email on 16 Feb 2011 and my waitlist number is 2041

So another victim of the 2010 Pies rush to sign up to AFL members.
Wonder how many of these are going to be Collingwood gold? We will never know

The 2018 and 2023 signups are going to be brutal too.
Might end up with 30k Pies Gold after everyone else lets it slip
