Doubt it, why?Are they going to get rid of reserved seating?
4 possible scenarios I can think of (or a combination of them).Have seen a few times here ~1900 people were upgraded this year. Mate of mine got a letter in the mail today and he only moved from 5500s to 4400s? Any insight on that?
Has anyone else got anything similar?

You would hope not but it seems plausible now that they refuse to release stats of breakdown of club support and they only give us about 13k tickets to the GF out of the 23k seat reserve.I’m curious whether they upgrade everyone in order or do they say not upgrade certain club fans over others so you don’t end up with 15,000 gold Collingwood members?
4 possible scenarios I can think of (or a combination of them).
1. A number of people offered the upgrade chose not to, so they went to a second and maybe subsequent rounds, until a quota of 1100 odd was upgraded. Meaning at least 800 chose not to.
2. At least 800 in the top 1900 on the waitlist were bronze and therefire were not offered an upgrade.
3. Your mate is mistaken.
4. The AFL is dodgy.
1 and 2 seem extremely unlikely. I hope it is option 3. Most likely it is option 4.
I will post my change when I get my renewal as I am in the 6000s.
I understand existing members can switch to bronze and remain on the wait listI don't think 2 is correct, bronze members don't go on the waitlist do they?

I moved up about 1,700 spots
15,000 down to around 13,300
I’m in the ballpark of these numbers and moved the same so can corroborate15,000 down to around 13,300
Years of Membership = 10I honestly don't have much faith in the waitlist system.
I'm currently at 9 years and just received notice that I'm still 9300 in the queue.
Would love to know the waitlist number for anyone else who is at the 9 year mark.
9 year member as well. 8951 so you're around the same mark.I honestly don't have much faith in the waitlist system.

That is how it works from my limited understanding. i.e. you can upgrade mid year or defer to the next year. I assume you can't defer again.If there is for example an Essendon supporter who is offered an upgrade mid-year 2022 and they know they're not making finals/GF they will just decline it as otherwise they'll be paying an extra ~$200 for nothing. They know they are still next in line next year and if those places aren't offered to the next in line when they decline they will get offered the upgrade again next year. Seems extremely dodgy.
That doesn't sounds right. Possibly they have given you last year's wait list number. One of my kids went up 1100 last year to be about 10000 in the queue. Based on comments above she should go up 2400 over 2 years so you should be at least that given you are further down.I’m not sure what I was this time last year but in November 2020 I was 18,938 after 4 years. Just got off the phone to them and I’m 17,213. So I’ve moved 1700 spots in 2 years.
