All full members guaranteed GF ticket

Re: All full members guaranteed GF ticket

No, that's not the case.

The club is going to allow people to update to full member UNTIL their allcoation sells out.

But if they do not sell out, then there will be tickets left for non full members.

How many more do they need to sell to exhaust there allocation?

I don't know, but I would have thought that most people that were going to upgrade would have done it by 30th June, thinking that was their last chance.

Are you a social club member Mantis?

PS - I actually disagree with the extension. I know it may bring in some more income for the club, but if you set a deadline, than stick to the deadline. Does not set a good precedent

Maybe they just changed the interpretation of a deadline for this season...

Totally agree! I fit going down to the shop in my schedule for the day to upgrade mine this week (Monday, June 30) knowing it was my last chance, the fact they are still taking them is silly, i can see its good for the club $ though.. but a deadline is a deadline

My mate is at uni and on a tight budget, he has not been unable to spare $110 until today so for the people who have tight strings the extension was a godsend.

Yep, have been for a few years now, but I have friends & some family members who are just 'regular' members.

Agree on your next point.

Very true. I do agree that we should stick to our original deadline, but because of my financial siuation that would have meant, I would not have been able to upgrade my membership even though I wanted too. Because of the extension I should be able to upgrade my membership.

I'm sorry but im a little bit confused. When was the first deadline, and what has it changed to now?

Welcome to WOOF Madone.

For the answer to your question (sort of) see the news article posted by Coon Dog:

Thanks Lantern, I read this article this morning and it basically told me nothing apart from the fact there has been a rush on upgrading to take out Social Club membership. I am a cheersquad member to which we will have access to finals tickets anyway. I was just interested in the final numbers of Match Day members. The Bulldogs site hasn't updated this side, not at 5.00 pm anyway, with any great increase in numbers.
All I really read was more the shifting of numbers than more new members coming on board. We can only hope.

Cheers

The original deadline to upgrade your membership was Monday 30th June.

But you can now upgrade until they sell out of GF ticket allocations

Re: All full members guaranteed GF ticket

I think it is a fantasic effort for everyone that could afford the upgrad has done so. Though we may not have beaten last years record if our revenue has increased due to these memberships I guess thats definantly a possitive for the club

Re: All full members guaranteed GF ticket

The Mark Stevens article quoted Dino Imbriano as stating we will get 10,000 social club members. Does the AFL know now what the allocation quota is?

I don't think they will know allocation numbers until it is determined whom the grand finalists are. Looking at previous year's figures it seems to be around the 12K mark (very rough figure) - thus meaning those that have signed up for a social club membership are guaranteed a GF ticket.

Both GF clubs are given a minimum amount. I think 8,000, and the remainder of the tickets for the 2 clubs are split pro rata according to the clubs membership numbers.

My Parents spoil me sometimes.

They knew I wouldn't be able to afford the upgrade, so they've shouted me the $110 just so I've got a chance at being a part of something special.

Aren't parents grand?

Re: All full members guaranteed GF ticket

I just brought my upgrade.
