From 2000-onwards, none.
Up until then, i had just the standard membership, and we had MCG season seats on the wing for the last few years. Nothing fancy.
I'm a High Mark member. That reminds me ... have to re-new the damn thing by the 14th of December ... all $500+ of it!!
Guess i'm going to be poor for Xmas. By the way ... i think this cut-off is a tad unfair with Xmas falling two weeks later. It should really be extended to early January. At least gives you the opportunity to access to damage to your hip-poket post-Xmas.
This is has been a problem for me ...I want to support the team but living in Sydney and being not exactly rich it's a tuff one.
Any suggestions?

Interstate membership is the go. $66.00
No game entry rights ( :( ), but magazines, voting rights, badge and fridge magnet :p .
There's other stuff too (incl. auto membership of local Sydney based supporter group) etc.
Not to mention being a part of the greatest club of all!
:D ;) :D

Yeah Last year I weighed that up and decided to go for just the mag subscription to show support [oh & that engine room deal]....but if I had known about the fridge magnet for $30 more that would have definitely tipped me in that direction!! LOL:D
If it got you into away games or even when I come down to Melbourne that would be great. What do you vote on? And what's the Sydney group like?
This membership got you a ticket to the GF !???!!!! :eek: :confused: !!???????

If my visa works out and I end up getting permanent residency, I'll definitely be getting some kind of membership provided that I can get work soon enough. I'll probably go for the 11 home, 7 away deal.
Bronze 11 with a reserve seat at Colonial/MCG. which is about $240. Then I've got my MCC membership an extra $400 thank you very much (and that's just a restricted member, ie: no grand final access!). I only ever end up paying at away games at colonial. I know you will ask why didn't I get the colonial only game package for MCC members. I switched last year after they changed it, so I couldn't buy finals? / grand final ticket with the colonial only package, so I switched. It's more expensive, but I don't care. :) This year, they sent me the new renewal form, with a new Recommended Option underneath the $240 bill. The option the suggested for me was the Di¢k Reynolds club. Which they suggest on the form is "Social network group targeted towards men over the age of 18". Not suprisingly the charge an extra $60 for that privillage. I might do it, if it increases the chances of me bumping into some nice shelias down at the social club when they have functions on. :D What did they "suggest" you all get?

Full M.C.C membership (have to have a beer sometime M29) and 22 game Bronze membership/seat (hardly use it,always stand) at Colonial.....don`t need to buy the Essendon one,but gotta keep that 1973 run going and considering the joy Essendon have brought me,it is a small price to pay.

Hi I hesitated asking you 'cause this might seem stupid but I am. You say you've got a membership seat but stand ..does this mean you go in with non member friends and get any old seat with them or you literally stand? MCC membership includes beer?:D good idea.;)
I like the last line!!

Voting rights are for stuff like the move to Colonial etc. ie. Big stuff that doesn't happen too often. Still good to have a say though!
I actually got the game entry details wrong, the interstate membership last year gave me free access to three Ansett cup games ( :rolleyes: ), of which I was able to attend exactly zero.
I bought my GF ticket from a friend of the 'Swannies' (:p ) bootstudder who received some sort of allocation for working at the club. Unfortunately that meant we sat amongst a bunch of people who were 'given' tickets, and not all fans of either Ess or Bris.
Which gave us the only highlight of the result actually, becasues most of them were wholeheartedly barracking for Brisbane ("Gee, that number 5's pretty good for the Lions - who's that?! :rolleyes: ). They were getting stuck into us at the end, so we just turned around and asked them to sing the fuking Brisbane song if they were such big fans..... their silence and embarrassment was deafening!;)
One small victory I guess for a disappointing day!

God I Hate those bloody bandwagon Lions supporters!!. I Live in Brisbane and every man and his dog was a "So Called" Lions supporter but you knew that they knew nothing about the game. Which didn't stop them from having a go at you for supporting the Dons.
By the way, I'll be renewing my Interstate Membership this year, plus also signing up for the Engine Room membership as well.

NYM,I`m a member of the mcc,but never sit there,always go through into the outer,Punt rd end behind the goals,standing room.At Colonial,I have paid for a seat and probably have sat in it four/five times,prefer to stand,and also meet up with mates who do not have a seat.
Stand in front of the Locker Room (a bar),which M29 would know very well,he recognised me one day (the day we laughingly robbed sydney I think ) must have been the Arsenal scarf !

Geeze Johnny, you must have had a few (not only because I think you told me you gave ces a vote), the scarf wasn't on you that day I met yer at the meat room. :D I saw you once at the G with the scarf and recognised you in the locker room running amok and chatting with my pïss head mates. Hopefully next time I'm in there I won't be driving, so I can drink the bar dry! :p

no worries,it made paying for it last year so much easier and i didnt have to conserve money:)
it works out being you pay 33% the first to payments with it being 34% for the 3rd payment and i think theres an extra little fee which isnt to much at all. 10 bucks or something,but im only guessing at that
Silver member, 11 home games. Reserved seats at Colonial and the 'G.
where's wally?
