The real question is are the food and drinks cheaper in MCC, could pay for your membership on its own?
Oh, and what events aren’t included? Do you get cricket, international soccer, concerts etc.?
I might give the over night thing a crack if the useless bombers ever make the GF (last time I wasn't MCC and queued overnight in the yarra park ticket line).Maybe your more patient than me
But wanting in a massive line 5 hours or the night before a big game wouldn’t simply wreck the day for me.
MCC is good and all but have you been an AFL Member. That's the real s**t right there.
To be honest, I can understand the argument from both sides with the MCC members. But if it gets through all the ranks of the MCC and it's still not full, let the club members get in. As many people as possible should be able to experience their team in a GF. It is an amazing feeling.
Just on the 'best available' thing, that's one thing I hate too. However for this weeks games in the non MCC/AFL parts of the ground the Ticketek system let you click on an exact section. It showed all the bays available and you click one and the bays were even split into the different prices eg level 1 open or the back rows undercover. It worked great after the initial first day screw up was fixed.Watching the spread once people enter is a good example to show how automated systems are s**t. "Best available" differs depending on individual preference.
They should lock out that snivelling turd, something the docklands stadium got right.WHATELEY: MCC EMPTY SEATS "TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE"

Zero chance the public ends up sitting there on Friday night.So will the MCC implement their new blockbuster policy for Friday night's Pies/Cats game and let the public in?
With AFL/public seats sold out and some inclement weather on the cards, there's a real possibility of a repeat of last year's prelim fiasco with large portions of walk up seats going unused. MCC promised that if this looked like happening they would open it up to provisional members and then the public.
If they do then when/how do they do it? Do they sneak a tweet out at 7:49pm not giving people enough time?
Thanks for the fiasco reminder. It's always handy to jog your memory as to what we need to be outraged by.
Just curious as to how the opposite situation would rate out the fiasco scale: i.e. members missing out on seats due to them being allocated to non-members. From an MCC perspective, wouldn't that be worse?

You always hear how they have 150k members or something and 23k seats.
Empty seats at sold-out events aren’t acceptable. Use it or lose it. If it happens again, reduce the MCC reserve by one bay. Keep doing that as long as it happens at sold-out events. We’ll find the correct size for it eventually.
You do realise you can’t just suspend your membership right? So who knows how many of those memberships are for people based overseas, interstate etc and don’t want to give up their membership.150k members. Barely 10% turned up excluding guest passes. Extremely big cultural problems within the club if only 10% of members turn up. Compare this to the AFL members, who sell out tickets in 30 minutes.
Something needs to change.
They had sections opened during the pies bombers clash. Catch up with reality, sooks.

AFL ones sell out all the time because the ticket area has been merged with the Premiership club (now known as the Medallion club). Plenty of tickets sold out to corporates as a result at the start of the season.
This can be applied to any club membership. I assume thousands of Collingwood members are overseas or live interstate, yet we always get more than 10% of our members turning up to not only the biggest games of our season, but also the smallest games of the season. And that's not only Collingwood, it applies to smaller clubs like GWS as well.
The major problem with the MCC is this stupid walkup system. People dont want to wait in line for hours just to get a seat, so they'll just stay home instead. Make every seat available for reservation, and I can guarantee you, the 2018 prelim incident wont happen again.
AFL members also has 90,000 less members. To add to this, they also have plenty of interstate and overseas members. Yet they still sellout, with tons of supporters missing out.
AFL members sold out within half an hour for the Qualifying final on Friday. The MCC is yet to sell out all their reserved seats. The AFL members sells out ANZAC Day every year, as well as the big games. AFL members sold out the prelim in 20 minutes last season. The MCC couldn't even sell out the prelim final last year.The AFL members is chockers how often?
The MCC members chockers how often?
Just the GF, not even then?
No idea about club membership but with AFL membership you can suspend it for the season and not lose it. You cannot stop your MCC without losing it and having to wait 18 or however many years it is now to get offered provisional again.This can be applied to any club membership.
