Anyone got a spare barcode I could use for the GF if we make it? I have platinum but want to take the old man and I think he only has gold. Don't think any tickets will be available by the time Gold get priority.

I think %100 commitment money wise will get priority irrespective of gold or platinum.

Amalgamating Black Diamond and Platinum is some bullshit.

My email said I was P1, same as I have been all along, and I'm only Platinum, not life member or Black Diamond, but I did pledge 100%.

That's for the prelim?

I think they've already sent an email saying Gold are priority 3 for the GF.

Yeah, it occurred to me after I posted that you were talking about the GF, my bad.

Too bad if he misses out. Legitimate Black Diamond and Platinum members could miss out on a ticket if people that can't go give away their barcodes.

I believe all membership prices were frozen for 2020, so they should be the same as 2019 prices. I know a concession Black Diamond membership cost $520 again this year. See the quoted post below for prices.



Club 1870 members pay in the order of 20% more than Black Diamond.
Black Diamond members pay in the order of 30% more than Platinum A and 40% more than Platinum B.

Based on the published priority groups, the hierarchy is determined, at least in part, by how much each membership category costs, but I think the club ought to be honouring, for as many entire membership categories as they are able, the GF guarantee members purchased in good faith, and were promised when pledging.

I assume the AFL has ruled that the club may only allocate members to three priority windows. It's clear that Club 1870 and Life Members deserve first crack. They've paid the most for their option, or earned their right through service to the club. Stick them in window 1, and sell up to 1,500 of our 8,100 allocated tickets. Easy. Done. 6,600 tickets remaining.

It's also clear that Gold members (who only get "priority access") should be assigned to window 3, and that no membership category with a GF guarantee should be assigned to this window. You'd be justifiably pissed off if your "guarantee" was usurped by a member who only pays for "priority access". In all likelihood, all 8,100 tickets will be gone by the time window 3 opens.

Per this press release from 2013, there are about 1,500 Black Diamond members. The club has ample capacity to honour the GF guarantee it promised to every Black Diamond member who pledged 100%. Further, guarantees for these members can be honoured without damaging the guarantee made to Club 1870 and Life Members. 1,500 tickets for Club 1870 + Life Members, plus another 1,500 for Black Diamond members. That would leave 5,100 tickets for Platinum and below.

Platinum members are in a shitty spot. Whether or not the club honours the guarantee for Black Diamond members, there aren't enough tickets to go around. Plainly, this sucks, and anyone who misses out on a guarantee they were promised when pledging should absolutely seek remedy from the club. But, if you were a Black Diamond member, wouldn't you be justifiably pissed off if your "guarantee" was trumped by a Platinum B member when your membership cost 40% more than theirs?

I know this is a hell of a lot of whinging when we haven't even made it to the Grand Final yet, but really.

Right about Platinum members, we were guaranteed a Grand Final ticket when we took up the offer, I have booked airfares and accommodation so I will be pissed off to say the least if we miss out.

Excellent post. Black Diamond members are being treated very unfairly by the club here given the substantial premium they are paying for their membership above other membership categories in the Priority Group 2 they are being forced to compete with for tickets . And given the number of tickets on offer for the GF there is no reason to do this. None.
