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.

    • 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.
