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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
