2022 Membership info

[Snake]

I can post up evidence when i can be bothered if people dont believe me. Canceled my membership mid season as a result and had to even send back my used crappy merchandise to the club to get a refund ! I Didnt even get a follow up call or any attempt from the club to try fight for my continued support ... once they recieved 10 bucks worth of key rings, caps and so forth my money was in the bank a week or so later without even an email to acknowlegde they had even done that.

Where do you sit mate, I'm not saying I don't believe you. I just didn't have that experience so trying to work it out. I think that is terrible.

Bay 24 or 25 , i have been sitting there for the last 45 years , and the last 7 as a member and its ALWAYS been GA admission with or without membership . AS per club membership info 2021 confirms



**Round 5 V Cows11th April i didn't attend as when i applied for a seat in my membered area i was only allocated a hill standing ..BUT bay 24/25 was available online to the public . $47.50 + fees
Fast forward Round 13 V Panthers it was the same deal .. Could only redeem hill standing again. And GA membership was only available to the public at $47.50 + fees**



Its not just the fact i happily forfeited a 2020 refund as i was happy to donate that to them , but for the club to see dollar signs a year latter knowing LO draws a significant crowd and to actually screw over those very loyal people is frigging disgusting .
Also im always accompanied by 3-4 family members from well out of the area whom without me have not attended a single game in 2021 regardless of venue.
Anyway say what you want about me , Melbourne Storm just announced free 2022 renewal to all current members , while im sure Weststigers are looking to milk their members let again in 2022

Mate, I'm not looking at having a go at you at all and don't think the club should have done that. i had similar happen many years ago now when Bay 8 that used to be GA became ticketed seats but i was lucky enough to get my season tickets moved there.

Hopefully they only did it due to decreased capacity during Covid, check the info when membership details are released and if that it is designated as ticket I will contact the club for an explanation.

This is what happens when you have a club that want to
lock out a huge part of there supporter base .. the club starts gouging it’s own supporters for profit .
They do not have the leadership to finally end this ridiculous multi ground situation .
Unfortunately for the people complaining about this situation next season and beyond will just be the same as the facilities are just not big enough! That seating at the Northern end will permanently be premium seating moving forward great position close to the field there GOLD ! .. Ga will be the hill and Southern end .

I get a non-ticketed membership as I don't have a chance to get to many games but still want to put my money where my mouth is and support the club. To reduce the funding (admittedly very small in comparison to other avenues) and number of members seems counterintuitive to me.

An increase in member funding hasn't helped the cause either though. Money won't make them smarter.

Yeah so imagine how much worse it would be if the club had less money and fewer members... There used to be a lot of talk about relocation etc because the club couldn't even pay for itself. Now the club can and getting a membership helps that. If we were to get a new coach, player, administrator or whatever, they can walk into a poor club with no money, crap facilities etc or they could walk into a well-supported, wealthy club with a great COE. As I said, my membership doesn't add much but each little bit counts.

Someone at work was telling me that Melbourne Storm were on TV offering free memberships ....what was that all about

They appreciate their members.

WTs rip their members off

I don't blame CF for being upset
when it seems you're trying to excuse the club with the Covid angle.
Seems.indefensible.to me
however I'm. Interested in the clubs response so await your enquiry eagerly

I must say almost $50 to sit behind the posts and $60 parralel to the dad ball line is really steep

I wasn't using covid as an excuse, I was stating hopefully it isn't a policy that continues. He is in his rights to be upset at the club but swearing at someone who offered assistance is not a great way of expressing it. I think you would understand I am quite willing to go out of my way to help people when I can and that is all my post was doing.

No, he is a GA member and the club changed his usual seating location to be reserved seating despite advertising them as GA.

oh I see

 

[Tigerlily]

Wow from the storm........

Easy to do when you know your membership is actually greater outside of Victoria.

The majority of their match access members don't live in melb.? How do you know that?

I would find that extraordinarily hard to believe.
Can you back that claim up @tigerlily?

Nope just my personal opinion on an open public forum.

Melbourne based members haven’t seen much live footy for the past couple of years due to relocation of games.
Classy move by the Storm.
