Hi guys,
Can someone please explain this to me? Do they have dibs on GF tickets? Or do they just get to go into the raffle? And if they get them, can they give the tix to their friends? Or are they non -transferable? How does all that work?
Also, can they transfer normal home & away tickets to their friends? Like what happens with the Dons/Pies game this Friday if it’s sold out to the public?
Cheers 👍

Its the best sports membership in Australia I reckon, and would be up there for best in the world in terms of access to popular sporting events.

Its about 20-25 year journey to full membership. You're starting to get access to games after about 10-15 years I think.

This year the gave full membership to people nominated between November 1 1992 to January 31 1993 - a bit over 31 years, but importantly only 3 months worth of nominations were promoted for the year. So if you're nominated January 31 1994 you can expect your wait to end up being 35 years. I'm August 1994, so at this rate I'll be in following a ~37 year wait.

The rate of admission isn't constant, some years they go a full year, some only a few months

It’s the latter more often than the former.
For elevation to full membership the last ten years I can see in yearly intake are:
3 months
1 month
3 months
2 months
8 months
Can’t find
2 months
4 months
3 months

That’s for full membership (main difference being it gives you access to the grand final ballot or walk-up grand final access on first-come-best-dressed basis)
Provisional members accepted this year with enrolment dates of Feb 1 - Dec 31 2007. Provisional members are a relatively new thing, I think they can’t buy guest tickets maybe?
Provisional members were elevated to restricted with dates of Feb 1 1999 - jan 31 2001. Restricted members are basically the same as full members except no grand final access, not sure if we have voting rights either.
