I found that out ... it is an Etihad Stadium Platinum Member that gets access into the AFL Grand Final from the AFL Member allocation

Wait, people are posting their barcode on Twitter? To sell it or to give it away?
Geez if this was a Collingwood Carlton GF, gold members would be struggling without club support
I thought we knew this already.
I've usually not even bothered trying unless my own team in it or one team is from another state.

I am starting to think though, the value of our membership is not the same as it used to be. Unless you go to 20 or so games during home and away the value is no longer what it once was. Final tickets harder to come by now even as a full member and even this week we slugged $33 to goto prelim when used to just scan in most times. Used to be you got the super value made up at finals time. Still so , but only just I feel.
The Platinum Privileges membership is a category designed to aknowledge the 2,000 or 2,500 longest serving AFL Members. It was introduced some years ago (perhaps 10 years ago.) The qualification for the category is continuous long-serving membership.Concession Platinum Priv Member (Full)
what's that?
Wowee never knew that. 35 year wait...looks like I have a few more years leftThe Platinum Privileges membership is a category designed to aknowledge the 2,000 or 2,500 longest serving AFL Members. It was introduced some years ago (perhaps 10 years ago.) The qualification for the category is continuous long-serving membership.
I was upgraded to it about 5 years ago. I've been an VFL Park/AFL member since 1977.
It doesn't cost me anything and I still pay the standard Gold Membership fee. The features of the package are:
1) 4 guest passes to use at any MCG H&A match (except ANZAC Day);
2) 4 AFL Record vouchers;
3) Access to two complimentary level 2 reserve seats to any MCG H&A match (except ANZAC Day);
4) 50% discount on the Grand Final ticket.
Each of these are subject to capacity and availability. And I can't use it to queue-jump; for instance today I was given the same 2pm access to GF tickets and have to suffer Ticketek's technology as everyone else.
Actually I just realised that I gained Platinum Privileges in 2010. That year I was able to get two GFs for the price of one.I was upgraded to it about 5 years ago. I've been an VFL Park/AFL member since 1977.
Wow, an AFL member for 40 years.
Amazing. I did not even know about AFL membership until around early 1990's. Must not have been advertised so much until in the 1990's. Used to be a spot in Football Record around those times to fill in to become a restricted member. Although clearly with VFL changing name to AFL in 1990 it was called a VFL Park membership before then. Did it allow you the same rights at MCG it does now or was that an added thing in 1992 when Great Southern Stand was built ?
I remember when I first got my restricted AFL membership in mid 1990's it showed something like 30 games access to games at VFL Park, MCG and Princes Park.
No other grounds did it really apply to.

From Memory the only MCG entry was for the GF in the MCC members section. I went in 1989-90 (Full or Gold member from 1988) and sat top deck of the old Ponsford Stand. Club support only started in 1992 when the Southern Stand was built.Wow, an AFL member for 40 years.

It used to just be a VFL park membership from memory then when the southern stand was upgraded the AFL cut a deal with the MCC to create an afl members section and the AFL helped pay for the new stand.
