55k expected is why. Still going to lock out people.
Locking out only 20-30k is fine I reckon.
There will be just as many people (maybe more) that will be missing out on the prelims next week.

They didn't predict 80k, it was always 55k on the MCG website.They predicted 80k at the start of the week, now 55k. They won’t get that, desperation now as they’re selling half price tickets and giveaways.
Of the alleged 55k, 20k would be MCC/AFL members so no you’re not locking out anyone with an absolute preference to attend in the scheme of things
I am currently a Silver member (9 years). I called them and asked for my waitlist number. it is 5061. Last year was 5366
I have moved up only 300 spots. Will be waiting another 10 years for Gold at least. what a joke. People aren't giving them up at all
They upgraded about 850 this year, so you will have moved up at least that many spots when they issue your new waitlist number on your renewal form.I am currently a Silver member (9 years). I called them and asked for my waitlist number. it is 5061. Last year was 5366

Correct I called yesterday and they said it was the same number on the renewal I'm 7036th and I only moved like 400 the year b4 and I'm an 8yr memberThey upgraded about 850 this year, so you will have moved up at least that many spots when they issue your new waitlist number on your renewal form.
The difference is the AFL will make more money at the G not locking out people than locking out people at GMHBALocking out only 20-30k is fine I reckon.

Why would anyone give it up?I am currently a Silver member (9 years). I called them and asked for my waitlist number. it is 5061. Last year was 5366

I joined in 2007 and became a full member in 2015.Why would anyone give it up?
Death?
MCC Membership offered?
Move interestate / overseas - can put it on hold
Maternity leave - can put it on hold
Yes it's clear that the benefits of AFL membership has been eroded, but as the waitlist for both AFL and MCC keep growing and the general price of reserved seats in the public section has risen then I'd say the AFL Membership actually respresents more value now than it ever has
If you've been a member for 9 years, then I could guess and say that you joined up after Collingwood won the 2010 Grand Final. There's probably a number of Collingwood supporters who signed up in the 6 months after the 2010 Grand Final (which is actually a bad thing as AFL Membership doesn't need more full Collingwood members). If you'd signed up before the 2010 Grand Final you might have a significantly lower waitlist number

It should be 16k, not 13. That essentially makes all members eligible.
Bounced?Just saw a bloke get bounced because he didn’t have his membership card. The inspector was prowling between the front doors and the turnstile.
Knocked back at the gate. Not allowed in.Bounced?
The Ticketek queue. * it and * the aflI still can't for the life of me work out how the 2018 grand final allocation for non competing gold members sold out in 10 minutes. How do 6,000 odd tickets sell out in 10 minutes?
It still doesn't sit right with me.
The queue system was not set up for mobile for that GF. Now they queue all forms of connections. Mobile used to just skip the queue servers and straight in. Now I am no chanceJohn, how do you join the queue? I don't recall this when I got Rich-Ade GF tickets...
It should be 16k, not 13. That essentially makes all members eligible.
And that’s why I went Collingwood as my nominated club this year, even though I’m a Melbourne supporter, and actually can’t stand Collingwood.Don't forget the AFL have been reducing the AFL members GF/general capacity for the last 3 or 4 years. Not surprised if 13k is actually 11k.
I reckon we are deadly close to Gold club support members missing out due to Medallion Club and AFL corporate ticket spread.
I would guess no guest passes, but that is just a guess.So Richmond v Geelong is the prelim final next Friday night.
I cannot remember how many guest passes they allow for such match ups in prelim final at the G but I got two Tiger supporters that want to go with me next Friday night. How likely are they to allow AFL Full members to have two guest passes to purchase too ?
At moment I am assuming it won't be 2 and be lucky to be even 1 for two Victorian clubs in a preliminary final.
Anyone have a good read on if likely to be able to purchase two guest passes for this game ?
Tigers v Giants prelim was 1 guest pass level 4 back.So Richmond v Geelong is the prelim final next Friday night.
