Memberships Membership 2023

[BunjiMC]

Unreserved Western Stand for all games at Adelaide Oval. Crows/Port/Gather Round Adelaide Oval Matches all included. SANFL Finals and any Suburban SANFL match also included. They do say 6 x SANFL Suburban games but the validators dont know how many games youve been to. I go to at least 12 every year and ticket works every time. I also have a crows gold attached to it for $180.00. I have to keep that or I lose it as the crows dont accept gold upgrades to SMA membership anymore. So i have to renew each year despite no chance of making GF.

Not bad. No cricket though?

No cricket. It’s just a footy membership

They tried the combined footy/cricket membership when the Adelaide Oval redevelopment was complete, but they canned it due to lack of interest.

From memory they wanted $750, which was higher than what the MCC charged at the time (for less events/matches)

I’ve held a gold membership for over twenty years… and I’m an interstate supporter. I don’t mind paying for the off chance.

we got ours when we signed up first year of AO. And then I ended up selling the GF tickets to greycrow anyway. I'd booked flights and accom in early august but couldn't go. But I've not renewed our AO memberships this year. The savings will comfortably cover getting a ticket via other means if we make another GF.

Plus you get reciprocal rights at MCG, Marvel, SCG and Gabba.

Been a SMA member since it commenced plus have a Crows Essential as well - both with Gold attached. We might get there again so want to ensure a seat at the big dance.

Mind you the SMA membership is $710 per year now.

Yep plus the $190 for my gold upgrade

I think SACA wanted it to be non-transferable and footy fans wanted nothing to do with that after 40 years of transferrable footy park memberships.

Yep the pricks tried to fleece everyone and no one fell for it

 

[Crow54]

Not sure if this has been discussed anywhere else. There was a notice in today's 'Tiser about the AFC's Annual Members meeting, and a call for nominations to the AFC Board.

It stated that Rod Jameson isn't standing for re-election, which creates a vacancy for an elected member.

We haven’t had much luck with the member reps:

• Past players who had no interest in representing members
• Media personalities who think consulting the Crows Supporters Group is as much member engagement as they need to do
• Genuine member elected candidate who disappeared for two years and only resurfaced when it was time to be re-elected
• Genuine member elected candidate who turned out to be a foiler

What will this year’s batch of candidates be like?

Do we know when tickets for Round 2 might go on sale?

On SM-A325F using BigFooty.com mobile app

You're it, kirky

 

[Dirty Bird]

Looking forward to how they can possible make our membership bade this year any cheaper and more horrendous than the past 2

I somehow ended up with $80 in Crowmania vouchers (no idea how).

Have you bought other memberships for others with your credit card? I did and I received their voucher last year

I haven’t, though I have both an AFL and AFLW membership.

There's a general misunderstanding of the elected director's obligations. Once elected, they are no different to the other directors, their obligations are identical, only the pathway is different. And even then, they're effectively vetted and approved by the board prior to the vote anyway. In terms of continuing election it would seem wise to remain engaged with the voters, but they're not specifically designed to represent our interests. They are not "member reps", the are voted in directors. The others are appointed directors.

No no no.

I want a few members on here barred for life.

The non-player people have often spruiked themselves with a "the voice of the members" type message.

It's not a matter of thinking it's an obligation, but just them often misrepresenting their intentions once they get in.

they wouldn't get to the vote if there was any risk of them genuinely giving a crap about members.

Hey guys, this is the first year that I will be a member. Just wondering when do the membership packs get sent out?

They are a bit slow this year. Got my Adelaide Oval stuff weeks ago and my wife got her port pack weeks ago as well. Still waiting on crows pack.
