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.

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.


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.

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

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

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.

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!" 😒


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.

 

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.😁😁😁

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    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.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
