22 years a member and still only priority 3!!   

[torch]

Can somebody please explain what is ...

Sounds like there's been a change to that category that I'm not aware of.

I know we've lost some of the benefits we once had which sucks

Seriously torch, what does it matter?

If you are MRS member and been told you are priority one for registering what does it matter?

22 years a member and still only priority 3!!   

One of the many challenges with having 100k+ members and there only being 17k tickets for each competing club.

Don't think there is a fairer way the club can do it...

[Rampsation]

The years criteria should change. Gold at 10 years is too low. Gold should be 20 years to 30 years and Platinum should be 30 years plus.

As someone who is on the verge of platinum it would be bad for me but its not right that someone who has only just done 10 years gets similar rights to someone who had been a consrcutive member for much longer.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Unfortunately, it’s always going to be the more you pay, the more you get. Each year the club resets. It needs more money to run. What happened last year doesn’t count. That’s reality. The club has to balance long term commitment to large cash input and if people don’t get much return for their higher level membership, why would they bother forking out the cash?

10 years is a long time. I've been a member since I could walk, only just ticked over to platinum this season. Is it fair that someone who has literally been a member their entire life misses out on a GF because they literally arn't old enough?

Think it's fine, personally. I still got a standing room ticket in '17 with my gold membership. They can never take that away from me 

[pmac21]

If anyone gets a spare ticket via the ballot and can't go can I be the first to get access.
Yeah, I'm not proud, just want to go once in my lifetime.

Thank you mate! Wonder what it is.

So you want to suddenly change something that's been in place for over 20 years? Why? Becasue the club has 100k+ members and is trying to manage something that's beyond their control.

i agree with ramps on this one? Its actually a fairer thing to do IMO

i wont ever cancel my afl membership for fear of missing out on my club ballot, which i suspect i will even at 17 years service.

anyway good luck to all.

10 years is too low for gold. Thats all. It should be hard to get gold or platinum. What ive advocated is
to my personal detriment but the club should reward the diehards who were there 20 years when we were crap and only had like 20,000 members.

[Slipper]

Does anyone ( honestly) have an idea how many gold members we have?

Genuine question, I was just wondering.
