Hell i have been a social club member from day one.
Up until last year thefre would be say 20 people at functions before the game.
The problem i see with the social club is they are letting 3121 members in.
I understand they are paying more for there membership but i feel is they want get in they should have a social club membership.
Got a newsflash for you those memnbers who are now 3121, previously Locker Room & Player Club have always had as part of their memebership access to the Social Club. So this acess has not changed
Pre-match they didn't attend the social club for home games because they have a function room at the MCG or Etihad so they went there. This is going to be the scenario again in as 3121 members have a function room pre-match at the ground with guest speakers so they wont need to go to the Social Club
After games:3121 members (make that ALL coterie members) have always had access to the Social Club and have attended. This will continue in 2011.
Obviously the Social Club membership numbers have increased significantly and I think NSC is right it is more to do with getting the number of guest passes right rather than having oversold
They have a limit on how many people they are allowed to have in the Social Club - they wouldn't have oversold it
just rang club.
all social club members will have to RSVP if you wish to attend.
Then your barcode on your membership ticket will be activated to gain entry.
If not, no entry although you have paid.
Hope you got the name of the person you spoke to Jack as if you ring back in an hour you are likely to get a different answer if it was just the membership department
And did you ask the most obviously question about the email? And that is are they talking about "functions" or general access at every home game? There' a huge difference.
Can tell you I got an email last night re 3121 and it didn't even mention about our access rights to the Social CLub
I tihnk it's time for a deep breath and further invesitgation
