It's hard work signing up. Ideally you want people to be able to join when they're inspired after a win and for it to be super easy, but geez it's hard work.

That you can't pay with a single payment online and have to sign up through payment installments is inexcusable.

Going some way in the club's defence, ticketek is a horrendous organisation.

    the other thing you can't do online is add a reserved seat without a grandfinal guarantee tax. You can if you ring the club or if you are renewing a membership with reserved seating and no guarantee. It makes a big difference to the price. I'm sure many new users would prefer a reserved seat but not at the inflated price caused by the grandfinal guarantee.

    some or all of these anomalies i think are caused by the club having to use standard afl software when booking memberships online. It's a bit of deception by obfuscation

    What is the reason that the membership portal is done through Ticketek? It is beyond abysmal sign up experience.  And working myself in digital, I often wonder what the drop off rates are in that membership funnel?

    Do the Demons get access to that data, or the meta data like when and from where these people are signing up to better inform our marketing activities?

    For example, if it is (as I suspect) that people sign up post game - probably makes sense to do targeting e-marketing in and around that time (ie promos etc). 

    Just a thought...

    I've said for ages they should have membership tents outside the ground after wins. I'd particularly target outside gate 2 for those MCC members who wouldn't normally sign up but may think otherwise after the high if a win and/or some pints in the bar.

    Yeah I know, I meant previous years. Electronic targeting post victory would be a great idea as the previous poster mentioned.

    Also the Ticketmaster website is dog**** agree with that too. How hard is it to set up a website for people to easily purchase the items they want?

    I work with the meanest man in the world.

    He rang up the MCC today to buy a MCC/MFC membership.  (It is possibly the cheapest membership)

    If he is joining I reckon there is easily another 20,000 out there.

    I'm guessing the memberships with GF guarantee are selling like hot cakes.

     

    Edit:  I just had a look at all the membership packages that include the guarantee and each one shows 'Limited Availabilty'. 

    So if anyone wants one ring the club quickly!

    I hate to be a dampener but as a long term GF guarantee donor ‘limited ‘ in this context does not reflect heightened demand - just that there’s a finite number available.

    i’ve been using the guarantee for several years as a way of coughing up more into the coffers. Never really thought I’d need it.

    Not putting a dampener on it for me.  I've paid for a GF guarantee for the last 20 years!  Always thought of it as a donation.

    The 'Limited Availablity' means there isn't many of that finite number still available. The only time I saw 'Limited Availablity' was post 2018 so it means that demand fluctuates.  Bad years not in demand.  Good years lots are in demand.

    My read is that this year there aren't many GF gaurantee memberships left because the demand has been high enough to use up the number we can have.

    I have always thought of my membership as a donation LH but you have got me well covered paying for a GF guarantee through the Neeld years is the ultimate sacrifice ?

    G'day all, just a quick question, I've changed my membership to being digital (not sure if they send out the cards anymore anyway??) but through the app when I try and access the Mobile Membership area it allows me to see last years fixture (not that's any good), but not that actual membership card. I'm only asking because I'm heading along to the Sporting Globe tonight and as members we get a discount, but they have the scan the membership card. Anyone know how to do that with these digital memberships?

    There were no digital membership cards. The plan was to issue your entry bar code before each round. COVID ruined that plan.

    I suggest getting the bar code number off the email the club would have sent you to gain access to tickets, through Ticketek. That might work?

    Already the second highest number behind 52k in 2019. In the Covid era that’s a great effort. Maybe 50k is possible this year. That would be brilliant and (just) a little hard to believe.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
