AFL Silver Membership Waitlist Number

[Demonic Ascent]

I don’t think it’s all kittens and rainbows for them. I think they need to pay a fair portion of annual fees they’ve not paid for the years they’ve lapsed.

Still, that’s no comfort if you’re silver and they’re keeping you from gold.

I think they have to pay the absentee fee for the years they were lapsed - so 2 years lapsed you pay $360 or wherever it is (assuming $180/year for an absentee membership) to rejoin back as a full member.

I don't know why they're going out offering it though, if people ask, sure but not sure what the point is in going out seeking the lapsed members - not like they're running short of silver members itching to be upgraded.

They really should get rid of (or severely limit) lapses/deferrals, but I assume it is a fair cash cow for the AFL, with ppl paying an annual fee without attending games so I doubt they will want to give that up.

If it wasn't financially beneficial for the AGL I doubt they would offer them

No doubt when people are going shit, they defer the membership and when things come good again, it's time to pay up.

They should be gone. You either pay full price or back of the line

Do you still move down in the queue if you defer?

Who knows

I wonder what would happen if 10000 gold members defer for a year? They cant bring 10000 silver members up just for a year right? Or allow them in and run at increased capacity until it slowly decays back to 30K

Interesting question. All that the AFL Membership T&C's say is that Gold Members are capped at 30,000 but it doesn't state whether it includes both active and Absentee Members in that tally or just the actives.

I would speculate that it does include absent members so as to avoid the potential disaster of many thousands going absent all at once and then wanting to return all at once.

21.12 Lapse Fee

If an AFL Member has let their membership lapse for a period of 2 or fewer seasons, they may be required to pay a lapse fee for each season they have not been a member to regain their previous status. The lapse fee for 2022 is $300 per season and $170 for the 2021 season (maximum fee of $470).

The lapse fee will allow the member to regain their previous status, however it will not continue their years of membership.

If the lapsed member, including Gold members, has not been financial in the last 2 seasons, they are not eligible to join back at their previous status.

I got in but just level 4 back on the other side of the ground.... Partially obscured too... Decided against it

So Gold membership has gone up from $645 to $680 this year.
That's a fair hike.
AFL trying to recoup their COVID losses?

5.4% increase. Lower than inflation!

I signed my child up (under 7) in August this year expecting him to go straight on the wait list . I got an email today saying his details have been added and he will be allocated a wait list number at the end of the 2024 season wtf ? Is this normal ? Is he on the wait list to go on the wait list ?

I would guess it is just poor wording by the AFL. I would think he will be on the list but they just won't give a waitlist number until after 2024 renewals. You could try calling to ask after the final renewal date (end of May I think) or wait till October.

Signed my 2 toddlers in June and they got their waitlist number a few weeks ago

Might be best to ring them up.

Wait, you signed up in 2002 and it took you 22 years to get upgraded to Gold only this year? That doesn't seem right.

Or am I missing something?
