Membership 2024

[PattyKwasagun]

Just got my membership renewal, with September membership at $100.
Curious if those with older September membership is also renewed at $50, or also jumped to $100.
(more so I can kick myself for not getting on it when it was available at beginning of 2023!).

I've been a September member for 7 years and it's jumped up to $100 for me too. Looks like the Digital Memberships have gone up in price as well unfortunately!

Its now 100 bucks for me. Also my seat got upgraded to rich boy status (became prime, previously was broke-as-f tier).

A few of the people that were sitting around me looked like they would be broke-as-f; I wonder if they will remain members next year or would they downgrade? Would be a shame as they had a 7 year old who would yell silly nonsense about the umpires (got his dad's one eyed gene).

That’s a shame - it would have been a good way to thanks those members who paid through the down years. Regardless, it’s still close to the cheapest guaranteed GF ticket access going around (assuming we make it again).

 

[briztoon]

Don’t have September membership, but I swear my membership type has changed and gone up by ~$100.

Haven’t moved seats as far as I’m aware.

 

[GabbaGirl]

I sit in AreaVIP and my membership has gone up by $500! It’s not even listed on the site anymore and is more expensive than the GG membership. They are taking the piss now.

 

[Horizon]

3x GA same price.
September Member up $10
Standard Season Reserved up $6.25

Now both my Lions and AFL Silver Membership same price

I have September membership and was charged the same amount but the September membership isn’t itemised. Or am I missing something and they’ve made a mistake.

 

[Section 5]

At a quick glance the first thing i noticed was a reclassification of Membership Name.
Deluxe Membership includes September Membership and has increased by $50 to $100 for everyone

Anyone with an Adult/Junior/3 game etc will have to do their own calculation but there will be an increase
AFLW cost has stayed the same at $42

They changed me from Concession to Adult so i will have to fix that.
Looks like i have to give them proof again which is fair enough
So, anyone with a concession make sure you fix that up.

September Member up $10

That seems unusual. How much is it for you now?

$70 but can't remember if that was attached to GA 3 game Priority 2 or Season membership. Doesn't matter I just use it for the guest passes really.

 

[Gadzorks]

Our bill is up to $1999.53. Standard which is the cheapest permanent seats and only 4 September members.

I get that there are new fans willing to pay but they aren't slow at raising the prices for us rusted on.

Surely Gold and platinum members could get a 10% discount just to make us feel loved. Our maybe we will only be loved next time we descend the ladder.

Edit $450 more than last year. I think they have overcharged on one concession but even so.

The not silver lining of a premiership (still worth it).

 

[Section 5]

It looks like you can buy Deluxe seating with September membership.
I hope this does not mean the club will sell more than what's available
At this point in time they don't know if every September member from 2024 will renew.
They exhausted their numbers last season

There is a loyalty discount i just have not bothered to work it out as my membership is wrong at present.
Do you have any concession members in those tickets

Yeah, just edited the post. One youth was changed to concession.

I know the family of four used to be the cost of two adults which included the two kids, then changed to $40 per kid and now $75.

I'll check out the loyalty discount.

Same boat for me - one child became a youth.
Vic traditional: Family is $430 (the cost of 2A + 1J).
Now we can't get family, we get charge 2A + 1Y + 1J = $530.

Maybe I'll call the club, see if I can add another child to the membership group, so we get family plus 1Y. The cost should be the same, but for 5 tickets.

 

[briztoon]

So my loyalty discount (I’m only a silver member) is $24 off $780.

 

[Elixuh]

So this includes September membership?

 

[briztoon]

Looks like I sit in the most expensive seats now.

 

[growler]

We have been sitting in the same seats with the same people sitting directly behind us for 15 years now. They are now premium + and we've become deluxe. The difference is $50 per seat more for us.

I can’t find the info, but a concession includes students doesn’t it?

 

[Elixuh]

So looks like Deluxe = priority 1 access to GF tickets.

 

[Jivlain]

I've been a September member for 30+ years and never bought a grand final ticket, mainly because I've been scared off by the cost of flights and accommodation. I'm now in my mid-50s and determined to see us play in a GF in person before I clock off.

Can anyone give me some advice on the best way someone in Bris can affordably go to the GF, ticket availability aside? Am I right in thinking you can buy flights that can be refunded within x days of the departure date? How far ahead should I be looking to do that? How do you go about doing refundable accommodation - AirBnB?

I stayed in quite a nice apartment in Footscray, 3 nights for $600 AUD. Fully cancellable until after the PF. Near the train station so easy to get a train in. Booking.com has a lot of cancellable accomodation and is upfront about when you can cancel until. That's what I used.

Flights I didn't buy until after the PF win but that was coming from UK so not much change in demand. Notied that China East Air had some pretty decent rates around that time which made the whole thing viable (£800 return on a week's notice, surprisingly cheap!)

You would have had September membership in 2024. That's why you are now classed as Deluxe.

I would say the people sitting behind you did not have September Membership last year.

If they did, they better check with the club why they didn't get the Deluxe membership this year.
Their ticket price will increase of course if this is the case.
