A woman at work told me her son and his mate were flogging off their tickets for $1500 each, the sooner they bring in photo IDs/stricter ID checks the better. The waitlist will move much quicker once people can't profit off their membership every Grand Final (covering the cost of the membership plus almost an extra $1k) plus full members who actually want to go will be able to get tickets and may even be able to get a few seats together.

So you know the surname and club of support? Send an email off to the membership department. They will do a seat card check if they have the intel.
 
I've been pretty surprised that 0 silver members were able to get tickets to the GF this year, particularly considering GWS have no AFL members. My whole family is silver members (hawthorn club support) and we were all able to get 3 seats together to the 12/13/14/15 GF's. Have the AFL reduced the number of seats available to AFL members in recent years? Also, we're about 7000th on the list to upgrade to gold membership (which seems like it could be 5-10 years away), would it be better switching to a club only membership which guarantees GF tickets if your team makes it? Sorry about the essay length post here, I'm just questioning whether AFL membership is really worth it if the waiting list for upgrading to gold is long, and silver's can no longer get GF tickets?

That would appear to be the case. In recent years the allocation has been reduced by giving Medallion Club guaranteed GF tickets.

7000 wait list.. Yeah prob closer to a 10 year wait. If the Hawks make another GF before then I would doubt you would get a ticket. Maybe a single on level 4. Too much demand.

If your whole family is afl members and never go to non Hawthorn games i would at least be looking at the club membership options.

Edit: $425 For a guaranteed GF ticket hawks membership

Just throwing it out there although long shot I know, got 3 tickets P13(level 2A) and 2 tickets P25(level 2A) they are pretty much the same seats but opposite 50 metre mark one city end and the other punt road end. There are 5 of us going. No one in either P13 or P25 (or nearby) care to swap seats with us so we can sit all together? I’ll buy you a beer! Both great sets of seats but we’d love to be sitting closer together. Not a biggie I know but thought I’d throw it out there.

These days Full Members of the non competing clubs struggle to get more than 1 ticket let alone 3 together.

The allocation has definitely been reduced by up to 7000 tickets plus more Full Members have realised they can scalp their tickets to cover the cost of their annual membership plus an additional profit (up to $1k) with extremely minimal chance of repercussion. So the chances of Silver members ever getting tickets to the GF again are non existent and people are not giving up their Full membership as they are getting it for free or a profit every year so the waitlist time has also blown out.
 
I would never consider selling my GF ticket as an AFL member. My mate got a warning for allowing his mate to purchase a seat with his ticket at some shitty rd12 game.

I just hope you realise how absolutely ridiculous the whole premise of what you're saying is.

a) government and afl spies working on a task-force to combat gold afl members selling on-selling their tickets
b) doing this on the internet in the week leading up to the game... (there's probably a big room of them, with screens and coffee cups and the sound of a car radio in the background)
c) doing this on BigFooty, an anonymous chat forum
d) noting down quoted area numbers, which may or may not be real. organising these collective notes into some sort of workable system to implement for the big sting.
e) following up on the day. actually organising people, in the heart of the busiest, most manic and mad sporting event of the year, to follow up and disrupt a whole area checking everyone's entry tickets, to their corresponding afl membership card, to the corresponding ID -- all the while the Grand Final is going on, mind you -- and this is all happening because they read a random post on the internet earlier in the week?
f) and even if they DID find someone who didn't have any ID on him or her, but had his gf ticket and his afl membership card and the game was started and he was sitting there with a coke and a packet of chips -- and they're just going to turn around and escort him to the door now? Because potentially there was a post on the internet earlier in the week.......?

Yep.
And the hypotheticals don't even need to end there.

I reckon you're spot on here. That's just the sort of language the taskforce would use!

You're right on this point, they typically let the person with the ticket stay.
They just collect any id details they can get, name, address, dob, photo etc and then follow it up in the days afterwards.

Ah cool so this is the catch the killer part of the show!

Tell me though... all of those details are nothing new, the AFL would already have with the Membership account. Apart from a photo. Hmmm.

So... the AFL is going to pay people to start stalking it's own full paying members' online identities now? In the hope of using this shadily gained information (assuming there is anything to find out in public -- and remember, they can only look out in public, these aren't "real" cops) to mount some sort of case against it's own members? The ultra-PC AFL? Is going to take all that risk (people love it when the AFL *s up, let's not forget) and expend all that effort to stalk the identity of people who give it $700 per year? In the days and weeks following the biggest event of it's year?

Gotcha.

I think Silver are only a chance when it's a low drawing Vic club vs Interstate club or 2 Interstate clubs.
A limited number made it through to Silver for the Bulldogs/Swans GF. None in the last 3 years. A fair few got through for the Hawks GFs because I think people were sick of us winning. The allocation seems to have steadily reduced as the years have gone by, but not by as much as some people are claiming.

As for which membership? If you go to lots of games and lots of finals no matter who is playing then definitely AFL is better. If you only want to go to Hawks games and Hawks finals then a premium Hawks membership is probably better, but since you have already moved a fair way up the waitlist it is hard to say. I had a Hawks reserved seat with guaranteed GF ticket upgrade whilst I was a Silver AFL Member and dropped it once I got to Gold, they give you something like $150 off if you're an AFL member. Lots of things to weigh up.
