Can a person really get priority 1 or 2 with a $50 membership or is it just the usual online outrage?

I personally don't have a problem with all members having same time access online

I rang the club about that $30 membership for 3 games    You only get Priority 3 tickets, with my normal country membership  I get priority 2,        Yes I know some of you that know me,  will agree I am from the Country  and still a member,    Go Dees

    Is there a membership level that costs a couple of grand? I'm trident and it's about $600 pa

    One of the great things about our game is that it's still 'the people's game', regardless of Gill's control. We can sit next to oppo supporters and not expect to be beaten unconscious 

    I personally don't have a problem with all members having same time access online

    To be honest I’m responding to what I  heard from people calling talk back this morning. Collingwood fans saying they were Legends fans (I don’t know what that is, but assume it’s Trident equivalent) and they didn’t get through for  90 minutes and felt very annoyed about the investment. I empathised with that. 

    The club is selling priority access membership for $30. It gives the highest priority for the first 3 weeks of the finals. Then for Gf that priority is level 3 (no idea what that means but I assume they’ll sell Gf tickets in a more tiered system). 👍

    My wife is a country member and had no bar code on her account. In the past she was allowed to get final tickets. I'm a reserve seat member and received the email and sms from the club. Strange because she got the bar code for the Kings birthday game.

    Oh that’s interesting. The way they promoted it implied the Priority 3 was only for GF 👍

    re standing room

    during regular season you can't distinguish between standing and ga, as ga don't have reserved seats

    but in finals all ga get reserved seats, therefore standing room is easily identifiable and available separately.

    I see and hear a lot of members from both sides bemoaning the lack of access for members with Priority seats. The issue is around how hard it is to get through, not the access once they are in.

    I do find it frustrating that they can’t allocate members different time slots. Especially when the club was selling access this week, and undermining the value of memberships most of us have paid for and used for the last 7 months. 

    Would it kill Ticketek to give priority seating access its own hour? 

    They do for the GF though.

    In other news, I managed to get tickets to Eric Prydz' second show, it's been a rather expensive day

     

    P.S I have one Junior ticket on level 4 for sale

    GF Level 3 priority leaves you very unlikely to get grand final tickets. Likely to sell out at Level 2.

    You're empathising with Collingwood fans? Really.... really?!!! 

    The post three above yours says the $30 membership was for priority 3 for finals as well.

    It's a simple marketing ploy to get new members into the club. Clearly it worked, and the bonus for them is they can low prioity level access to finals tix.

    I bought priority 1 tickets today at 10am, but I also bought GA tickets at 3pm not using my membership. So could've anyone not a member.

    We get $30 and a new member, they get to go to the game which they could've done without spending the $30

    Where's the issue again?

    Empathised???? with FERALS??? I say give them a free ticket to a side show somewhere in a nondescript circus in an even more nondescript town with no road maps out. Should make their day! AND MINE!

    That is great. The last time I bought tickets in a reallocation was when the Sydney Olympic organising committee were forced to resell tickets to prestigious events like Magic Monday in athletics (Cathy Freeman night) after they were outed by the media in allocating 90% of seats for private sale to the rich and famous.

    After spending 1 hour on the phone pressing redial every 5 seconds, I ended up getting 6 tickets (for about $80 each) on the home straight right near the media scrum on the finish line! Best night of sport ever, hands down (sorry, beat the 2021 premiership on TV which still doesn't feel real)

    Unlikely. Standing room normally gets it up over 100k + MCC being at capacity.

    The steps and bars in the MCC will be packed, especially if it is a good day on the sharemarket

    Was priority 1 ground level or 2nd level or both?

    Sold out as in 85k? 

    Or more like 95k?

    🤔🤔

    Based on how wrong I was in my previous post speculating the make up of numbers and the like, with great confidence I can say I haven’t got a clue.  Not even prepared to give a off the cuff stab!

    Just hope that the majority of our mob that turn up are the loud passionate supporters.

    Reasonable expectation is that it will be around 93. If the MCC is a lockout which it should be and the corporates show up, it will be above 95.

    My understanding is the mcc has never been a lockout since the 2009 (I think) prelim between coll and geel. Not even GFs. But maybe this is the one that does it - melbourne and Collingwood have the 1st and 3rd most mcc members respectively.

    Similar, N14 (lvl 2), basically the same spot but a level down from my Trident seats.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
