Posting Unsubstantiated Rumours on this Website is Strictly Forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


2020 Melbourne Membership Packs


Ditcha

Recommended Posts

So, Just got my 'online only' membership.  the club have sure made a mountain out of a molehill.   Instead of a digital card I would store on my phone, I have to access 'tickets' to each individual game.  Talk about making things harder than they needed to be.  I just want the barcode in an easy to use place so I can get into the game, into my premium seating area, and to the bar!  I dont want to have to take 6 steps on my phone to do it when it should be there in one.

So, now I get it. As a "digital" member I receive nothing in the mail. not even any stickers for the car

Quote

As you've selected to Go Digital in 2020, your membership card and two bonus general admission tickets are now accessible via the Melbourne Football Club app.

As a digital member, you won’t be receiving a membership pack and card in the mail.

If you have selected a scarf as your member choice item, this can be collected from the Melbourne Club Hub at any MCG home game*. *. If you have selected a $25 Demon Shop voucher, it will be sent to you via email.

You can have mine DC.

think i made a mistake going digital

downloads every game. rooted if phone goes flat. have to pull out phone, find app every time i goto or leave seat 

don't know why i need separate ticket for each game, why not just one barcode as now with plastic card

hopefully i've got this all wrong and it won't be too bad

i hope there is an option to print a membership card (as an alternative and backup)

they also switched me to auto debit for the third year in a row after telling them each year that i want to be manual .........i try to have zero or close to automatic debits

Sounds like it is run by Myki DC. I have two auto debit s and this one of them.

Agreed. This digital business is way too technical for me.

I rejected the digital avenue. The lanyard with the card is the footy season security blanket. It worked, too. As I go out of the ground a fair bit during the breaks to breathe that enchanting Benson & Hedges aroma, the card is quick, no queues, and is identifiable for the seat attendants in the Members' areas. Flash and sit, I call it.

In a printer?......It is only a bar code,either on your phone or a piece of plastic or paper.

Not a smoker but I went the same way. Old school. The cards (for me and the spouse) arrived this week, two months after payment, but then the club did say they'd be arriving after Christmas.

I am OK with the package: cards and three stickers. The magnetic fixture could be handy but probably won't be used, just like every other year. Otherwise there's no wastage.

Interestingly both our memberships turned up in one envelope addressed to just one of us: now that's efficient cost cutting.

Membership numbers as of today 7 February....31,519

This is 2808 down on the same day last year.

The saints have 36,877 at the moment, while North have 31,910

Below North is a worry, but I think we have more capacity for growth. The Saints have had good press and are seriously upbeat so that's to be expected.

It is annoying how fickle some of our crew are.

The card only pathway worked for me - an interstate/armchair member - as it has those two extra games (that are available with the digital on-phone pathway. So, interstate/card still gets 5 game entries, and 'she who must be obeyed', the 'hand-brake', gets the same membership deal. It costs a fraction more than the digital, even fo interstate members, but it is worth it for the types of trips that I make to mighty Melbourne to touch base with my heritage.

Opted out of the parcel deal, as well, as over the years, the merchandise mounts - and last year I won the door prize at the interstate luncheon in the Sporting Globe pub, which was a $400 gift voucher at the Demons shop at the MCG - so I am well equipped with other Club paraphernalia. The old 'flash and sit' card is the way to go and cannot be superceded adequately - provided that little Club window in the Southern Stand stays in operation to collect tickets for guests. 'Carna Dees!

North Melbourne have a special running today. Buy a 5 game membership and get upgraded  automatically to an 11 game. With the exception of the Suns and GWS surely this is a first? I’m guessing it’s aimed at new members or disgruntled old ones.

The Saints ran a $1 membership 2 years ago.  They got about 4K "members" who miraculously appeared in their membership total in June of that year. Trouble was their income membership for that year actually dropped. ....but hey good story to tell the sponsors!

I have a feeling if we get off to a good start our membership no's will rise above North and nearer Or past Saints by season tally.
That is some new and returning others from last season.

There was an article in the herald sun a little while ago comparing basic 11 game membership prices and contents:

https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/heres-how-to-find-the-best-afl-membership-deal/news-story/d7220bad569c78023e7a3cb758ab3b4a

Our prices are generally around $20 more expensive than Richmond's at all age levels, despite us winning just 2 of 11 home games last season. It is no wonder that our numbers are down.

If we also had 88,000 plus members I guess we could afford to lower the price as well. It’s like Made in China but with quality over there. Our low numbers have absolutely nothing to do with price.

Would have nothing to do with it

It's more relevant what OUR prices were last year if you wish to make Price comparison but this is nothing really.

Numbers are best except for last season and if we start well I believe will spike quite well during early rounds.

not sure how much it will hurt but Last year at our local Footy club ( which Im told is the biggest Junior Club) , We had the option of either a Melbourne JNR membership when we paid our fees or St Kilda , this year we have only Saints 

Im told we had near 900 Juniors last year.

I didnt tick the St Kilda option for all 3 of my kids that play and then received a email from them saying would i like the free membership, Not sure they will read my reply , but i stated in no uncertain terms NO.

Mine too forever as usual. Now they want me to go digital. I’m not one for using my phone for everything, so I refused. Hope they don’t make it compulsory next year

    DEE-RUBBING by George on the Outer

    For the second week in a row, the Demons had to endure some particularly oppressive match conditions — this time, playing in 30 degree temperatures at the MCG, following the humid sticky Sydney atmosphere of last week.   The warmer conditions didn’t seem to worry the Dee’s since the ball was so much easier to handle, and handle it with surety they did in handing out a 45 point drubbing to the much fancied Western Bulldogs.   After a slow start that saw the Dogs out to

    CROSSING THE PICKETT LINE by The Oracle

    Melbourne’s performance in losing its Round Zero contest in Sydney has certainly caused the club, the coach and the players to come firmly under the watchful eye of the football world and exposed all of its aspects to a microscopic lens.   Much of the commentary surrounding them has been less than complimentary and, while some might argue that this is unfair after only one round, leaving aside some of the scuttlebutt that surrounds a lot of the discussion around the game, a fair amoun
