No I actually meant when did club support as a whole start with AFL members? Appears the answer was 1992.
I don't know if they still have this option, but back in the day you could choose the AFL support package as opposed to a specific club attached to AFL membership. Not sure why you would choose this option given you would not have first dibs for GF tickets.
You can still pick the "competition" option which is a membership with no club support.
I had that when I was in Canberra. When you live outside of Melbourne, you get a discount as a "country member". If you didn't have a club support you got a bigger discount. Now that I am in Brisbane, I have a Lions Club support (been handy having it in 2024/25) and that is a discount on what people in Melbourne pay, but not as much as if you are a competition member. The flip side is you get access to the Lions home games at the Gabba.

As I recall there was also a considerable rise in finals ticket prices around that time, which drove a lot of people to switch from club memberships to AFL membership.
Since then you've had club members paying huge amounts for decent seats at Weeks 1-3 finals. AFL members were free - you only ever paid the booking fee. There's a charge now, but it's ridiculously low compared to club members.
I had a couple of mates who switched because they were paying about the same again for finals tickets are they were for their entire H&A season membership. They couldn't believe we were going to any Week 1, semi or prelim final at the MCG for nothing.

Same here. I was told 3 to 5 years and I became a Full member in my 4th year in 1997.

Ok thanks for confirming.
Doubt too many would choose the “competition” option if it doesn’t come with any benefits. At least the club gold support guarantees you a GF ticket if your team plays, and possibly a small percentage of your fee being distributed to the club.
In 92 i picked general rather than melbourne .the next year I changed to melb club support . Back then melb and rich supporters had great value as we played at least 11? Home games at the G . The grand final was a guaranteed seat free. It walkup only? When others teams like collingwood moved to mcg , thats when it got tougher .

I checked today, the numbers haven't been updated since last year.
Same, level 1 for Day 1, and level 2 for Day 3.
$30 last year to $44 this year is a pretty hefty increase.
i couldn't even get level 2, managed level 1 undercover though so that'll do. watch the weather be mild and it not matter

oh crap I forgot
How much were your tickets? They are coming up at $44 each for me which seems pricier than last year
They were $30 in 2021, 50% increase over 4 years is a bit much.

Level 2 N25 for day 2
$44 plus $9 service fee for one adult ticket is pricey but oh well day 2 is a tradition for me

You are too kind. It is over 1 year as it was $30 last year.
Still a hell of a lot cheaper than public where you can pay $88 to sit at the top of level 4!
Out in the open so it’ll probably be 45 degrees on Boxing Day!

F reserve day 2 is $44 so the same price but AFL reserve is much better viewing
What do you mean by F reserve?

I see. The cheap seats. Interesting, maybe they set the AFL reserve price to match the cheapest seats. Which might explain why there is no AFL allocation on level 4, there would be no point. And indeed it could see the price go down next year.
