Thanks mate.

 

I'm stuck in central Queensland, so I'm living the Dees succcess through others right now.

So glad you got to go with the old fella. Wish I had a ticket to offer for next week.

btw, @ding and I are twin brothers. He is quite the ranting arzhole normally, and hates EVERYTHING (except cats), so to get help from him is some sort of breakthrough.

Sounds like he has finally figured the correct dose for his meds..

Ahh wow thats amazing! Again thankyou guys so much it really made it a great day having us all with him, at the end of the game his eyes went watery when he was saying thanks for everyone coming but if you asked him it was dust. And his eyes still wouldn't be like that, there was probably dust in our eyes and it made it look like that. 

If there's something i can do for you two or something i can get you to say thankyou it still wouldnt be enough. I tell you what, next year ill guarentee a premiership (confidence) attendance and let you two fight it out for the honor. But i cant reward violence so ill think of something else...

Thank your brother for me if he misses this.

Does anyone have any information on how many of our ~45k members fall into each category? i.e. priority 1, 2 or 3
Obviously there would be a limit as to how many priority 1 memberships and GF guarantees are issued, but does anyone have intel on the numbers? TIA

I think you'll find that all AFL clubs are restricted in how many 'priority one' memberships they can sell ie Legends, Redlegs etc in the case of the MFC. 

If they had no restriction then there would be no tickets available for the 'ordinary' member.

I know there's a long waiting list at all the big clubs for 'premium' membership, and I suspect a waiting list at our club as well. I let mine lapse in 2000 but promptly re-joined in 2001.

PS I've been a MFC member for 56 years - longer than most DL'ers I suspect.

I'm pretty sure Trident, Redlegs etc were all available for purchase this year, I remember almost selecting one of them but thought it wasn't worth the money... serves me right!

Isnt it nice to be talking about stuff like this in September?

Great offer, but not required. Hearing about Dad celebrating with family is enough for me.

 

Hope Dad can celebrate a flag next week

Hey, I've also got a barcode for you, from a spare membership I bought for a family member, but it's only a tier 3. Not sure if that will be much good to you.

Yes one ticket per barcode per membership

$5 admin fee so probably $200,000 in Demons fans money going to afl/ticket agency on a prayer right now

I am praying hard

$200k at least per club (x four) to use a computer program that is used each year ... that is seriously expensive software.

Bit like the $7 fee to print your ticket or have it sent to your phone.

Oh the joys of transparency...

The techs work for free

Etc etc, no need to register if you don't want to

Try email.  MFC Membership team is doing a great job and working late.  I received an email at 8.00pm last night.  They will respond.

I asked a similar question of Priority 1 and 2.  This was the response from the club last night: 

"If you register with someone who is a priority two you will drop to priority two with them. There is no way around that unfortunately".

 

So my reading is: to sit together registration is to be with the lowest priority group.  Not sure but I would imagine the system is smart enough to know that if a Priority 3 is being registered with a Priority 2 it will reject both or drop both down to Priority 3.

Not much the club can do about it as the AFL make the rules.  

We have been caught by surprise a little and I will be paying more attention to GF priority groups when I renew memberships for next year.

I spoke with an extremely helpful team member this morning...

If I register my 9yr old son (p2) separatly from myself and 5 yr old daughter (P3) then I run the risk of him getting a "concession" ticket and us missing out - If I attempt to use his concession ticket and get asked for proof my ticket will get taken and my membership cancelled.

I can opt to register all 3 of us but will be P3 only.

As it's only him and myself who would even go I'm going to register us all in our priority levels.  If he gets the P2 and we miss out then I will look to use that "concession" ticket as a "bargaining chip" to hopefully secure an adult ticket in return.

If he misses out and we get 2 from P3 then my daughter can go shopping with her Mum while us boys go to the GF ?

If we all miss out then it's Fed square for all of us...

If the Dees miss out then it's already been one helluva ride! ?

Happy to pay cost recovery charges plus say 20%... if they want to open up the books

Don’t know category 2 or 3, but there are about 10,000 category 1 members. 

Bloody hell am I glad we paid the extra money for priority 1 membership. Also gives me a sense of security that I’ll always be able to hold on to this type of membership, as I imagine they’ll become more and more popular in years to come and as numbers are capped, will be hard to come by.

and given ticketek probably get a % of gf ticket value they are getting a bonanza anyway looking a gf ticket prices 

but as you say, open your books and then we will know, if not lets threaten a royal commission - lol

noticed dick smith on telly tonight having a go at multinational ita's (internet travel agencies) and how they are gouging the hotel industry now upping their charges to 35% of booking value.......and then there is uber eats....not to mention tax avoidance

Sorry chap it is not a monopoly, tendered for the contract and won, have worked.previously in the industry 

Maybe we should get a union involved, that should kill the industry quick smart

We may be in the cusp of success and we still have whingy whiney MFC whinging about the cost of 2 cups of coffee, beggars belief

plus 3 cups of coffee for the privilege of printing your own ticket on your own printer, old chap. yes, all small change but then multiply that small change by a very large number it's  big gravy 

and i'd call a consumer choice of 1 a monopoly

Just registered for my GF ticket, so excited, can’t wait to crush the Eagles.

Likewise did the same, easy process for once

Woo Hoo! category 1 ballot secured!  Just need the boys to bring it home!

Just registered also.  As it has been way too long, does anyone know when you choose the category seating or is a case of random selection so you pay for category 1 seating even if you only want to pay for Category 3 seating

Ok, registered and done, fairly easy.

Now let’s beat the Eagles!
