Take The Pledge

[cochise]

There’s no good way to handle this. Whichever way you do it, people are gonna miss out and they’re gonna be pissed at the club.

Maybe if members miss out on tickets for this home game they can get first crack at the next home game to give everyone a chance of going once

Pledged members have a full day to buy tickets before others are allowed access, so if you want them you’ll be able to get them. I’m definitely going and I can’t wait!

Yes but members can take up to 4 extra people each

So the club gives other members other than pledge members the finger !

The members that commit their money should get first crack that seems fair, other members will still be able to get tickets

Im not disagreeing with that, but why should each member be able to get their ticket plus 4 more? That disadvantages veryone.

Maybe it should’ve been two instead of 4, but you don’t want them only being able to get tickets for themselves. Again though that’s just one of the rewards for being a pledged members. Normal members will be able to buy that many tickets just a day later.

They should be able to get tickets for those that have memberships only.

What is so hard to understand .. there is no problem with pledge members getting tickets first .. it’s the extra tickets that they are being offered for non membership supporters that’s the problem ! This is not right and the club needs the rocket .... any paid member for season 2020 should be next in line after the pledged members , this is not a good look for the club

There are 7500 tickets, we have 17000 members.

What is the number of ticketed members that pledged...?

I get that mate, no one except the club knows that info, I have pledged so expect to be fine, but do not believe people should be able to purchase 4 extra tickets for non member during the membership sale period.

This is not right and the club needs the rocket .... any paid member for season 2020 should be next in line after the pledged members , this is not a good look for the club

How would it work though? Me personally I wouldn’t go by myself and my partner isn’t a pledged member. If you only allow members going there would be some people not able to go by themselves who would miss out. They should’ve made it that members can buy one extra ticket not 4.

I wonder how quick tickets will sell and how many people that try to buy tickets will miss out

So you should get a plus one while other committed members miss out, does that truly sound fair to you? Also remember it is actually a plus 4.

It does sound fair, people can’t be expected to go on their own. Everyone will get to go to a game eventually so don’t stress too much.

It’s a lot better than a lottery system I think

Mate, I've pledged over $1000, I don't want to go eventually, I want to go this weekend. If I missed out so you could take your girlfriend, I would be extremely disappointed in the club.

I could deal with missing out to a lottery system if there is not enough tickets for everyone, but not if I miss out to people's plus 1,2,3, and 4's.

If you pledged you won’t miss out! Even if you didn’t pledge, you wouldn’t miss out if you buy your tickets early enough. I’m positive there’s still be thousands of tickets available come Wednesday

 

[JC99]

Like I said whichever way you do it people will be annoyed at the club. Big picture we are lucky we are even allowed to be going to the footy this weekend.

 

[innsaneink]

I see lots of people go to the footy on their own.... I've done it myself sometimes...
Why can't people go on their own?

I have as well mate, Thursday night games are hard for my wife and daughter so usually end up at those by myself. I think the game I met you at was a game you attended by yourself?

They would be able to keep a lot more people happy if they weren't allowing a heap of non member to possibly attend before all their members can.

 

[tony soprano]

So how we get tickets?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

it doesnt seem fair members can purchase extra tickets it should be one ticket per member
our club is dead set amateur hour

Lets look at it from a different angle..I pledged but I'm not going other commitments..I don't believe I'll be on my own so why shouldn't Members who pledged not be able to get another ticket..


I'm sure they know the numbers..now if pledged members don't get a ticket if they want 1 because of additional ticket sales I'm sure we will hear about it..

As I said before in normal times the crowds of 10 to 15k we get walk ups are well over 50% of that number..

Its not one though is it, it is up to 4. Its all good, as I said when I spoke to the club on Friday they seemed fairly confident of getting everyone in, hopefully that plays out.

If it doesn’t work hopefully they make changes and try help the people who missed out this week.

How bloody exciting to be able to go this week!

Hopefully, I'm desperate to go this weekend. Tickets to events is about the only thing that stresses me out. I'm old school, I still remember the days of camping out for tickets to concerts. GA concerts I still to this day show up at 7am for a 6pm door time to ensure I have the best spot. I have had my membership for 20 years to keep the same seats lol. I'm weird when it comes to tickets and seating.
