That is great value as 3-game memberships had similar member rights for finals tickets, except the GF, in 2018.  If our finals are at the G they are almost guaranteed to get a ticket to those games.

I'm almost tempted to sign up a few friends just in case I need extra finals tickets.

Is the code simply 'Gus and Gawny'?

Just check the podcast.

    interesting that nearly all reserved seats are sold out

    only ones left are coterie membership at $3740!

    surely that will make new memberships harder

    why not just allocate more reserved seat areas?

    It looks like the 'reserved seat' and 'reserved bay' options include the GFG and they have a limited number of GFG's they can issue.. 

    So they need a category with a reserved seat but not a GFG.  It may be too late to create this for 2022 but a good option for 2023.

    yes, they made some change this year that all reserved seats came with a gfg with no exception

    the previous 2 years you could get a reserved seat without gfg but it wasn't an option onlne. you had to ring up to get it or rollover from previous year if applicable.

    so if you want a reserved seat can you just buy a ga membership then each week get onto ticketek to upgrade to reserved seat?

    that wouldn't make a lot of people very happy

    The limited GFG's is the reason they can't allocate more reserved seat areas as you suggested a few posts back.

    Yes, to have reserved seat memberships not linked to GFG.  I'm pretty sure Richmond has them.

    The club told me we get a different barcode for each game.  This makes it tricky for GA members to upgrade to a reserved seat each game as we don't get the barcode number until 72 hours before the game whereas ticket sales open about 3 weeks before the game and as I understand it Ticketek require a barcode number to upgrade to reserve seats.  🤔  So the 'best' seats may be gone by the time barcode numbers arrive.

    They hold back some of the better bays until closer to the game. M54 only went on sale two days before the game which is the best bay in the olympic stand for non reserved members and not alcohol free bays. Similar things happen with level 2 corporate allocations that go unused.

    Thanks.  That is reassuring to know.

    Do you have any idea the likelihood of dee fans getting a 'good' seat ie not level Q for the ANZAC Eve game.  I believe we can only buy them when Public sales open up.

    That's incorrect. There's two barcodes one for your membership and a ticket barcode that is the qr code to scan in. You can upgrade to a reserve seat with your membership barcode but it's not easy to find what that is without your physical membership. It was emailed with the ticketing info for round 1. Bit of a [censored] show really.

    i got a card (decoration only) but it has your membership number on it. don't need a barcode for ticketek, just your membership number.

    i think you meant you meant to say membership number when you said membership barcode

    at least i think this how ticketek works with a ga member seat booking/upgrade

    Have continued this conversation in the 'Tickets' thread as more relevant there.

    I can't even find the barcode logging in to the online account (not the app)

    I hope 65-70k is the target for this year.

    If we can snag another flag in the next 2-3 years we should be able to solidfy a good portion of those and start getting some younger admirers that are converts from other clubs.

    If we can go anywhere near replicating Richmond's recent success, I think 80k is not out of the question in the relatively near future.

    I'm an afl member with club support so I have my level 2A seat every game basically hehe.

    But for Anzac Eve I suspect you will find that level 1 in the Ponsford will either all be GA or plenty of available reserved seating.

    There will be plenty of red and blue there for an away game.

    Also, bays M5-M8ish aren't in Richmond's reserved seat areas so you will also be able to reserve seats there.

    Crowds are still well down this year so wouldn't be surprised if Anzac Eve doesn't crack 70K, especially if Richmond aren't good.

    QB will be a similar story I suspect

    Is there any point updating our membership tally going forward when they're all going to be of the Mickey Mouse 3 game buy one get one free variety? Surely the only metric that matters is how much actual $$$ we rake in at seasons end.

    Yes, because everyone else does it. 

    Also, best way to start getting more people on full memberships is to start them on 3 games

    Hi AJ. I'm not sure that every other club doing it is a valid reason. I don't see much point in announcing we have 60,000 members for example if 10,000 of them were given away free although it probably explains why GWS are supposed to have 30,000 members when their ground is always empty on tv.

    Im pretty sure this bit is true: A few years ago only memberships that were worth $50+ counted. 
     

    This bit may not be: During that season St Kilda’s progressive membership count actually went down at one stage as they had to discard their freebies from their tally.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
