Imagine being part of history as Tasmania’s AFL dream comes to life at Macquarie Point Stadium. With 215,000 fans already pledging their support for just $10, the Devils are gearing up to unveil a membership structure that could decide who secures a coveted seat. But here’s where it gets controversial: not everyone who wants a spot may get one. So, how can you ensure you’re in the stands for the big games? Let’s break it down.
First, let’s talk about why this matters. Tasmania’s AFL journey has been a long time coming, and the Devils’ entry into the league has sparked unprecedented excitement. Now, as the team prepares to release its membership tiers, fans are eager to understand how they can guarantee their place at the stadium. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about buying a ticket—it’s about securing a membership that prioritizes your access.
To help you navigate this process, here’s a detailed look at your options. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a casual supporter, there’s a subscription plan tailored to your needs. For instance, the Pay As You Go option starts at just $4 a week for 12 weeks (minimum cost $16), followed by $32 charged every 4 weeks. This plan offers flexibility but may not guarantee priority access to high-demand games. On the other hand, the Lock in & Save option costs $5 a week for 12 months (minimum cost $260), billed as $20 every 4 weeks, and could provide better chances of securing a seat.
Here’s the bold question: Is it fair that long-term commitment might outweigh casual fandom in determining who gets a seat? Should priority be given to those who can afford annual subscriptions, or should there be more inclusive options for all fans? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Beyond the membership structure, subscribing also unlocks a treasure trove of benefits. You’ll get unlimited access to articles on the app and web, subscriber-exclusive newsletters, a digital version of today’s paper, games and puzzles, SuperCoach Plus stats and analysis, and full digital access to the Herald Sun. Plus, you’ll enjoy 24/7 access to 11 of our news sites (excluding The Australian) and receive exclusive news emails straight to your inbox.
So, as the Devils prepare to take the field, the question remains: will you be there to cheer them on? With membership details soon to be released, now’s the time to decide how deeply you want to invest in Tasmania’s AFL story. But remember, this isn’t just about a seat—it’s about being part of something bigger. What’s your take on the membership structure? Do you think it’s fair, or should there be changes?
