From the article on the Age website, makes it sound like the 'Victoria Park Social Club' is just roping off an area at the top of the escalators in the Ponsford.

Collingwood are also creating – along with the MCC – a new area called the Victoria Park Social Club behind the Dean Jones Bar where supporters can gather at every game they play.


Lol. That's just cruel!

Victoria Park Social Club' exclusive to '1892 members' -

https://membership.collingwoodfc.com.au/1892-membership

Not surprised they've taken the chance to charge a premium for the option of level 2 seats

The price is going up a lot. I don’t know what my legends membership costs, somewhere around $1000. The new one will be $2000 with an introductory price of $1499 for the first 2 years. And also worse seating. Lucky us 😂

Seems quite expensive for what you get.
I can’t see the extra $1,000 (full price) of value compared to a current Legends membership.
Will have to have a think about this one and whether it is worth the money.

I can't see how Hawthorn members deserve any concessions. They don't turn up even when their team is doing well (and their all mostly MCC members already).

It's been 2 weeks since the new seating deal was announced.

Anyone affected by the new seating arrangements been contacted by the club?

I still haven't received a call from them yet.

Well they can go an EAD if that's what's they are calling the Social Club.

I'd rather dance in tracksuit pants to the disco tracks playing out here in suburbia....

Yeah I was called on Tuesday. Had to sign up to the new 1892 membership (was Legends). Selected away seats for Carlton, Essendon, Melbourne games. The others get worked out later once the fixture is out.

They send you a text with the new package details and let you know they’ll call you within 24 hours. Best to read it all before you get called. I think it’s the same link as above.

Can I ask why you had to sign up to 1892 membership? What was the alternative?

Alternative is to remain Legends. That means no away reserved seats on L2 for Carlton/Essendon/Melbourne and losing first choice when picking away seats for games against others at MCG and Marvel.

So clearly this substantially more expensive option to retain essentially what we have today. Shocked

Our home seats are in Level 2A Southern Stand. Let's see what they say when they contact us.

We have resisted the move to the Ponsofrd because there was always a waiting list for Level 2 in previous years and whilst we are OK with our away seats on Level 1 undercover, just not for all games.

Unless I'm mistaken, it means my legends seats on the ground level of the Ponsford will be the same as always??
