Adelaide Oval Ultimate Memberships

[Booney]

Less then 7000 people across South Australia took up the offer of an "Ultimate" ticket.

I must be missing something here:

http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/cricket/saca-unveils-plan-b-for-adelaide-oval/story-fneb9511-1226651714191

It says how footy will be offering $515 premium transferable tickets (despite being 10 months away from the season) and how cricket haven't decided upon anything except for tickets being non-transferable and something will be (I'd read that as "may be") offered by late June despite cricket season starting in 5 months?
And the opening paragraph reads "Cricket has reacted swifty...."
The link says how the saca unveils plan b, where is it?



Even though I will be automatically eligible for 3 SACA memberships I doubt I'll take one up with them. Tickets would want to be less than $100 for me to consider it.
On the other hand I'm stoked I'll only have to fork out $1545 for 3 fully transferable footy tickets with none of the money going to the Crows or Port, was expecting to have to pay $2385.

And transferable card $290....

Cheers. No way will I take that up then, just footy for me. Money I save on 3 tix a year will more than pay for my Presidents Group membership at North.
Couldn't have asked for a better result, thank christ footy and cricket can't get along!

Is Adelaide Oval the only place in Australia where your cricket memberships aren't transferable? I can't for the life of me work out why they won't allow transferable tickets. I would have thought the more bums on seats the better??

SACA are a couple hundred years behind mate, they think its all about membership to a boys club more than seats to a sporting event.

[Booney]

So those tickets get you all the AFL games in a season, 24 it looks to be going to.

Is that all?

1 ticket goes to the member that ticket is non transferable. Failure to comply can result in a suspension of membership.

members can purchase a transferable membership that is the one they can give to mates or Mrs/Kids older than 10.


SACA do allow transferable memberships but just not the primary membership card

Therefore 2 seats are allocated per member.

[Wedgie]

Any word on how many SANFL games will be there per year, maybe just finals?
Hopefully a few big games too?
Will work out to less than $20 per footy game in the best part of the ground away from the riff raff, pretty good value IMHO as I wasn't paying much less 15 years ago at Footy Park and at least I wont be counted as a Crows and Port member this time!

I may have missed this explanation, but why wouldn't they be able to make the tickets transferable during footy season, and non-transferable for the cricket?

Anyway, have joined up on the waiting list for SACA membership.

I think they did, but people didn't want to fork out all that money if the SACA tickets weren't transferable

[FlyingHigh]

No worries BC, my misunderstanding, I didn't think the Ultimate footy tickets were going to be transferable either.

I'm probably wrong then mate.

Cool, with all this bullshizen I'm happy to still be on the MCC waiting list.

What a complete shamozzle.

How long is that waiting list and how much do MCG memberships cost, what are the entitlements?
Are you a member at Carlton?

According to the MCG website there are currently 102,800 MCC members, which comprises 61,800 Full members and 41,000 Restricted members. Their waiting list is 225,000 candidates.
The last induction of new members at the MCG was last year, and that included people who joined the waiting list in 1995, suggesting a 17 year waiting list.
To get on the waiting list it costs $110 and you must be nominated by an existing full member then seconded by another member.
Members are entitled to members facilities at all AFL and cricket games. Restricted members are not guaranteed entry to AFL grand final. (as I understand it)
If Adelaide Oval turns out anything like that I'd say Wedgie's done very well to get in so easily.

I am in the process of signing my son (16months) and one of his cousins (2) up for waiting list. Just waiting to get the nomination paperwork back that I posted to 2 members a few weeks ago to get them on the list. I think the waiting list is going to be a lot longer than 17 years and closer to 35-40 years. I just hope that the tickets will be transferable so that I can use them as I'll be retired by then!

When your eligible for full membership there's a one off fee of $300 (I think) and its about that much per year. Entry to the Grand Final is via a walk up first in first served basis, with the gates opening at 8. They do a ballot a few weeks before for reserved seating, it's only for 1000 I think. Restricted members are told there will be no Grand Final access but depending how full it is they may open it up, I think last year they sent the message out at 12pm that restricted members were allowed in.

Your usually allowed 4 visitor passes for games, and finals it starts with 4 but depends on likely capacity.

I was gonna sign up for Adelaide Oval but I'm just gonna stick with MCC.

I reckon you're right about that waiting list. Since 1995, which was when the last lot of new members signed up, footy at the MCG has gained a larger potential audience. It's seriously not just for Victorians anymore.
My son is 2 years old, maybe if I sign him up now he will be eligible when he's about 40?
If I was living in Victoria I'd definitely sign him up.
