What time are MCC members lining up?

[d33my]

Such bullshit, that paid up club members try everything and miss out whilst MCC members can still just roll up on the day and get a seat.

**** I hope the MCG monopoly is broken one day.

I understand the frustration, but MCC members still pay for that privilege. Its one of the reasons why membership is so highly sought after.

Wtf is the point of being part of some exclusive "fancy" club where you need to sleep outside the ground to get good seats. I would rather just pay $1500 than spend 24 hours in some cases lining up.

Without the MCC there is no MCG.

Suck it up.

Why? How much revenue does the ground make from non MCC members, club fees, royalties, etc?

Anyways I don't really care about it all year, just saying at the GF those seats should go to competing club members imo.

Thats not true by a long way. The MCC is the operator of the MCG with a contract that may or may not be extended with/without a tender process. been that way since 1931.

Who owns the MCG?

The MCG Trust on behalf of the Victorian Government.

They developed it. They run it. It's their ground.

Actually its not. They operate it, nothing more. its why the Victorian Government regularly takes part in the AFLs tenancy negotiations with the stadium management

Nope, the MCG is owned by the government of Victoria. It is public property.

I dunno, the Victorian state government. WTF does that matter? Anyways I've had my rant, competing club members should get priority access.

Who owns the MCG?

The taxpayers of Victoria.

Rubbish. Without the AFL there is no MCG in its current form or future significant upgrades.

What do they do for the next six hours?

Mingle?

Not the MCC

 

[boncer34]

Hey can anyone tell me if the MCC own the MCG? I'm not sure.

You get given a ticket for your seat and you're free to come and go as you please.

I got there at 9, sitting on level 4 near the top, gonna head back in just before the start.

Go home. Or a pub in Richmond.

Probably the taxpayers or something. The MCC just manage the MCG.

Lined up at 6am. Got prime seats on the 3rd level centre wing. Beautiful. Hope now, having a nap, shower and will head back in at midday.

People who sleep out are a bit silly, but it's fun as well. Did it for the cricket, would likely do it for a Dees grand final if I didn't get in the ballot.

100,000 (and soon to be close to 150,000) MCC members pay many times over for the 23,000 reserve and keep the stadium running and first class for the rest of the place.

A large majority of the fans lining up this morning were Hawks fans, with many in official Hawthorn membership gear. A decent smattering of Eagles fans as well. Very silly to presume all of the MCC is filled with neutrals today when it isn't.
