Still haven’t been contacted yet about changing seats.

 

i cancelled my reserved seats membership for me and my daughter, and have been put on a wait list for adifferent bay. No idea when they will start the call around for these 

I got a call yesterday, I have AFL membership but considering adding on MFC reserved seats. I'd give them a ring as they've started looking at it.

do reserved seats still attract the extra grand final guarantee tax?

I believe so but may depend what level of reserved seats?

from what I can see, all resrved seating attracts the mandatory grand final ticket tax. there doesnt seem to be a way to get just the seat. My reserved seats for myself, and two children (18 and 15) cost $1500.00, not cheap.

Call the club. I upgraded from a Reserved Seat to a Trident membership because I called them and was a bit pushy. 

Don’t wait to be upgraded, tell them you want to pay for a bette seat and let them go to work. The people I dealt with were super helpful. The waiting list idea doesn’t work. I waited on it for years. Call em.

Probably doing the club a disservice here but I’ve just noticed the SE Melb Phoenix NBL team have a Kayo membership for $250/$270:

I’d encourage anyone partaking to spend some of the savings on club merch or something

I normally have mine taken out monthly, today the full amount came out. Did any one else have this happen to them?

They need the money to pay Pert!

Ours haven’t come out yet so will keep an eye on it. It is due today.

Is it correct that we had the biggest membership drop off in 2024 of all clubs?

[Adam The God 30,714]

So received an email today from the club saying if I wanted a card or scarf I had to opt in.

I guess that's okay.

I click the button to opt in and it takes me to Ticketmaster. Terrible set up, but okay. I then follow the questions and answer them, thinking it's all sorted, and then it takes me back to the same questions again. Over and over again.

Anyone had this problem?

I feel like this club can't even get the very basics right off the field at the moment.

Make it easy for your members FFS.

I now have no idea whether it's logged my answers.

We must have been close to having the biggest fall in ladder position in the H&A season, I'd imagine those would correlate.

Yep, and I feel I already opted in about a month ago. So go figure

[A Bit Of Biff 27]

Yeah had the same issue. Must of done the "replay" a couple of times then just went bye bye.

If the membership pack don't come next year will ring up the club to complain.

Surely that's a Ticketmaster/AFL issue not a club issue.

I’d say so

Sure, but why use Ticketmaster at all?

I remember reading somewhere that all clubs use Ticketmaster for their membership. If that is true, then I suspect it is an AFL thing rather than the clubs choice.

My wife noticed the auto renewal on our statement and asked, "What do you get out of your membership?"

"Heartache!" 😒

[Tracca 862]

Well at least I got to change my seats which is good :)

Maybe, maybe not. I am a Carlton Member as well as a Dees Member and whilst both apps are clunky and not particularly user friendly I have definitely had more issues with the MFC software compared to the CFC software (they should be the same/similar). In 2023 each time I wanted to go to an MFC gane I had to contact the club to send me an email with a separate bar coded ticket attached. Was annoying. That was despite a dozen times deleting and re-installing the app. They said they will send me a membership card this year (CFC do this automatically, no need to opt in). Just my observations based on past recent experience.

You beat me to it, I was going to say the same thing!!  Clubs have no say over the use of Ticketmaster.

[DeeZone 10,577]

I just contacted Membership and advised them that payment hadn’t come out of my accounts on 01/11/24, cheerful young fella says oh yes they have, your membership’s are linked with your daughters and she has been debited. I said she won’t be happy about that, then said that has now been fixed Mr H and your memberships will now be charged to your accounts. I said thank you I will sort it out with my daughter. It all took about 2 minutes.😁😁😁

Whoo hoo, bring on 2025, Membership packages early this year
