MCC Members

[herni the second]

If I try using a friend's MCC membership to get into the GF replay, will I be right to get in?

Does anyone know how strict they are/any penalties involved?

[Enrico_Misso]

They don't often check - but if they do the old days of forging a signature are over - there is photo ID now.
You friend will then be "terminated".

[herni the second]

surely they wouldn't suspend his membership.

any MCC members here go on saturday? were they checking then?

[mordi]

dont risk it...they do check!

The moden day equivalent of tarring and feathering is being Named and Shamed in the Club Newsletter.

surely they wouldn't suspend his membership.

Yes, they do.

And your friend will continue to pay $600 per year while he can't attend any matches. I bet he'll love you when he wants to head along to the 2011 Grand Final.

Lending your card is a serious breach of the club rules and offenders will incur severe penalties. It is also a member's responsibility to make sure that their card is secure so that it cannot be used by another person.

OK.

not exactly what I was hoping to hear but thanks for your help!

If anyone does know a member/ticketholder that can't go...please, oh please let me know! will pay generously!

Good to see you on the forum again herni the second, I haven't seen you online in years! I remember you were in the simulation cricket team back in the day

[herni the second]

haha I was indeed, batsman I think..and a damn good one at that!

Still read but don't post as often. If ever there's a time to post though it's now.......desperate for a GF ticket!
