Members dropping off can be an opportunity. I upgraded my membership from a Reserved Seat to a Trident this year, and it’s been so good.

The Trident seating is brilliant. I love having access to the premium members rooms. I love sitting on level 2A. I love sitting with other absolute Melbourne nut jobs, and I love that the area I sit in is only for Melbourne members so I’m not constantly moving on other supporters from my seats like when I was a Reserved Seat member.

The website will say that it’s waiting list only but call the club next year and have a chat with them. When people drop off jump in.

Sorry if this reads like a chatGPT written promo from the clubs membership department. I just really like my Trident membership and reckon others should jump in while they can.

It’s not like ‘not going to the footy’ is an option for me, so I may as well despair in comfort. 😂

Northern Stand or Shane Warne Stand?

Melbourne's membership woes are twofold really :

A fickle supporter base that has a section that only renews when wins are trending upward.

A membership team that doesn't recognise member value by constantly increasing prices and reducing included benefits for regular members at the cost of exorbitantly priced "experiences" catered to executives.

let's hope they will allow a reserved seat without the mandatory grand final priority tax (like they used to prior to 20220.

it's especially onerous when you buy multiple tickets with kids

Shane Warne Stand, and that’s the only information I’ll divulge. I LOVE going to the footy by myself, not having to talk to anyone, and getting fully engrossed in the game. 😂

Thanks for the reply. I was looking at the Trident waitlist as I normally sit in the MCC area but I am sick of sharing the space - and being outnumbered - with opposition supporters. I was assuming I'd still be on the northern stand side. But I noticed that some Warne stand Trident seats are better positioned and might have to consider them if the opportunity arises.

I'll seek no more information from yae, and should I proceed I'll make a point of not disturbing the Solitary Silent One. 🤫🤫

Honestly it’s fantastic. I rocked up to the Kings Birthday game literally 2 minutes before the bounce knowing that my seat would be there, and that I had great access to the game, and had real Demon die hards around me.

If it’s just one seat you’re likely to get a good spot. I sit between the wing and half forward flank and absolutely love my spot on level 2A. Call the club when ‘26 memberships go on sale and they’ll likely be able to help.

After today’s shameless capitulation maybe 2026 will see a precipitous drop off.

If anybody from the clubs administration monitors these boards. Just know that the MFC will be -3 next year unless the whole footy department isnt turfed. At the very very least, Goody and Richo gone. Im not investing in another year of this garbage.

Those that tout "but you need to support the players no matter wat OR your not a diehard... " I hear you, but i will not sit idly by whilst the club doesn't make the required changes. if they are not willing to make the hard choices, there will be enough people like me that will threaten the clubs bottom line and 'encourage' them into action.

if we are forced to pay for access to GF tickets for a reserved seat next year, i will be thinkng hard about renewing. Three reserved seat memberships (for one adult, one concession and one 15 year old) was over $1500.00 this season. Considering that we are unlikely to make the GF next year, i am willing to forego the guaranteed access and will take my chances at securing a GF ticket privately….if we make it.

Sadly ,you may well be right 😞

If any were dithering, possibly waiting for a sign we’re getting back into shape and some semblance of decent footy... well they got their sign.
