My partner sold her tickets in 2019, one of them got caught, who was using her dad's ticket. They knocked him back to Silver for a year. Turned out that that year was covid and they reinstated Gold at the end of the year, so there was basically no repercussions.
I joined in 2005 and got full halfway through 2012.
hire metro ticket inspectors, they’re not afraid to harass people
Bashing little old ladies taking too long to open their Nokia 3310's!

From memory it was done via form and posted in. You could have a max of 10 members on the ballot. And you were only allowed 1 entry per barcode. If your barcode was drawn twice neither would get a ticket. And I believe it was only Gold members as we had a extra that went separately and missed out.
was the change to club of support done prior to the start of the 2002 season? or something they determined mid season or even by finals?? if anyone remembers
Even that's not bulletproof, MCC have photos on memberships and my cousin said he uses his mates MCC card to get into the G all the time (Collingwood supporter so big crowds too). No way would I risk it with MCC but some obviously do and he says he's done it plenty of times and never been caught (no idea if he looks like the guy or not).
I don't think there was a waitlist in the early 90s when they were trying to find the Southern Stand upgrade. I remember my neighbour joining in 92/93 and going straight to Gold I'm pretty sure which is why my dad ended up signing us up in 1997 after umming and ahhing for a couple of years, got Gold in 2003.
All provisional members of the old VFL/Waverly membership become full members when it become AFL membership in 1992 with the opening of the new Southern Stand. I was signed up in 1987 and got full membership in 92.
This for me too . Until the likes of Collingwood and Hawthorn and Carlton moved to the McG afl members was relatively empty
Talk about dodging a bullet.
For what it’s worth for me:
Officially meant to be unlocked at 10am. Check again after that I reckon
Never heard of someone getting caught before. It seems like a rite of passage for Gold members to sell their tickets to pay back their membership, and then some. No such luxury for us silver members!
Or maybe more.
Members are not purposely dropping off , pie members in particular
We need a few years of GC or GWS (or to a lesser extent, Freo) being a dominant team, making a few grand finals in a short span, where we have one or two years of some combination of the three playing off against each other. This will thin out the ranks over a 3-5 year span. It just hasn't happened yet.
The redevelopment will be interesting. What will happen with the reduced capacity during works? Will they shaft us further afterwards. I am hoping they get some better and more corporate facilities for the w*nkers and give us some seats back.
