AFL Membership

[Chris_2593]

Hey guys,

Sorry not sure if his is the right place to post. But is anyone on here an AFL member? I signed up for next year and just have a couple of questions. Does anyone know when they usually arrive? Also does anyone know the cost of a guest pass? Also where about at the MCG can they sit.

Any answers to my questions would be great!

Most AFL membership questions are answered in the less helpfully titled “Silver membership waitlist number” thread

AFL Silver Membership Waitlist Number

(If there is already another thread on this, please link me to it) Received my AFL membership card yesterday and was surprised to see they now show your waitlist number which is the amount of people ahead of you inline to go gold. Id like to get an idea of the year people joined and there...

Go ahead though if you got something to ask

The Cards usually come February from memory.
Guest passes cost $40 for adults. Guests can reserve a seat or sit in the GA areas of the Reserve.

Also where about at the MCG can they sit.

The AFL Members area at the MCG is Gate 6 & 7 (roughly M14-M27) and then the same bats in the levels above. Levels 2 & 2A are almost exclusively reserved seats (either Medallion Club, AFL dining packages, corporates or regular AFL member upgrades), but for games that only get an average crowd their will be walk up seats on both Levels 1 & 4.

If you want to sit with your club supporting friends you can also leave the AFL members section into the public sections at both the Ponsford & Punt Road End.

At Marvel Stadium the AFL members reserved seat sections are typically approx Bays 7-14; sometimes a couple of those bays are available for walk up (normally only low crowd games)— but you can also sit in any general admission areas on Level 3.

I've always wondered if you are a long-serving club member & move to AFL members, do you lose your years of consecutive membership with the club? I imagined you would, but wondered if could be 'transferred or something?

No. AFL membership with club support is the same as a normal GA club membership. I signed up in 1997 but my consecutive years of MFC Membership goes back to 1989.

Your years of membership can be kept. I had a mate do it a couple of years back--- you just need to call up the club membership number after you sign up to an AFL Membership and they can link the two accounts to one user.

I didn't even have to do that. I switched from Hawthorn Interstate to AFL Member last year and automatically got my membership kit with the flow on year member number on the scarf. Not exactly sure how they linked it, I guess going by email address.

They did the same when I signed up as an AFL member on top of my club membership. I end up getting two packs now. Both exactly with the same years of club membership on them.

Just a heads up, be prepared for about a 20 year wait for gold.

Optimistic. More like 30-40 year wait

Should be abolished. Competes against club memberships.

What club membership gives me the ability to go to games with family or friends when my team isn't playing; but their team is?

Mine has turned up today.
December 6

It shows bonus adds on like a 4 pack Adult MCG Guess Pass as $125.
So not quite $40 for adult guess passes if did that but a guess pass during the year I am sure is closer to $40 a game.

If their team's playing they can book your tickets.

 

[Senor M]

So you're expecting my friends & I to move from the seating area we currently sit in (on the wing) and either just turn up as part of our membership or pay a $9 upgrade to a reserve seat to a club membership where we get poorer seating areas (on the 50's/behind the goals); and instead each get club memberships and spend $30-$40 a game to book seats for each other so we can go to games together??

How does that make any sense?

The AFL is competing against the clubs. It's wrong.

You're welcome to have your opinion--- but if you've yet to provide any fact as to why as an AFL member that my membership is a 'bad' thing.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Competes against club memberships is what I said and you're proving the point.

 

[Senor M]

Richmond has over 100k members (and as an AFL member I count towards that number). Doesn't seem like my club is crying poor about the AFL 'competing' against them.

Do you know anything about what an AFL membership actually entails?

 

[blueycarlton]

No, the club membership component goes to the club if you nominate club support and most people do.
Dining areas I suppose they do compete with the club, but I've been an AFL member for 29 years and used the dining facilities only once.

You should be complaining about the MCC where a "cricket club member" gets to watch football. What a joke!
How much of their money goes back to the clubs?

Now I'll sit back and wait for the response.

Value of a fridge magnet membership. Whoopee.

MCC should be shut down too.

Tell someone who gives a shit, you're not going to find them in here.

Club membership may mean more dollars per membership go to the club, but it also means I can't go to games with family and friends who support different teams.

I just scan in and walk into the public area and sit with my mates that way cause theyre hawks members.

Hi all, might be a long shot but no harm in asking.... would anyone be willing to let me use their 2019 AFL members barcode number to buy a cricket ticket? I am an AFL member myself but need an additional barcode so my son to join me. Looking to go on the 28th, Cheers.
