The club mentioned in the last member's committee meeting they are cracking down on Concessions and checking tickets a lot closer this year. That includes sitting in allocated seating.Quote:

Cracking down on people gaming the system?
They have a bunch of Chadwicks models at the freaking gates watching people scan tickets.
They don't know where the hell they are let alone what they hell they are supposed to be doing.
Although it only affects a couple of bays the club have stuffed up here. Large groups of people have had those same silver seats since day one and some of the loyalest fans are in those two bays. There has been no indication or consult that these would be upgraded.
And where is the necessity? Are the current gold seats all taken and at this stage of the season how do you know if they will be until memberships are in? I see no reason for a larger upturn in demand just yet and it would make sense to fill up the gold seats already available before allocating more.
All of a sudden I have to try and find an extra $400 to cover everybody in a few weeks or move.
Yep. I'm probably downgrading to GA. I'll miss the people I've got to meet and know over the last 5 years but as Sammydog said - if I'm going for gold I'm moving further towards the middle.Quote:

Also noticed that Bays 1, 11, 60 and 72 are "closed" so some good alternative options aren't available.
I'll be signing up for Foxtel rather than buy two memberships this season. Good thing I don't have any neighbors because I will no doubt be getting vocal when it all turns to shit before the Christmas break.
This is your notice.Quote:

I suppose it's the price we pay for having a club trying to get itself running in a financially stable way.
I wonder how many people though in the affected seats will reconsider a full membership though.Quote:

From a membership point of view, id expect a majority being GA with the proportions dropping through Red, Silver and Gold. This year Gold seating is by far the biggest allocation of seats. I think you are onto something with forcing people to the east for TV, otherwise its a second covert price rise forcing people to upgrade on top of the increase.
I suppose there's a demand for those seats.
Maybe not those prices though.
I'd not be keen to be in 58 paying the same as a bloke on halfway
I moved about 8 seats further south a couple of years ago and paid half the price.
This season will be just buying a ticket in GA and sitting whereever the **** I like
Last season I never sat in my allotted seat once
Regarding empty seats seen on TV. Here's a crazy idea, film from the eastern fecking stand.
Would the sunlight be an issue coming straight into the camera?Quote:

Doesn't seem to be an issue in other venues or sports.Quote:

I could be wrong, I'm pretty sure Ammi park is filmed from the eastern side.
Cricket is usually filmed north to south or south the north.
I always assumed most sports stadiums are oriented the same way so the players arent blinded by the sun.
Either it's north to south or east to west over a 7 hour period to sun is in all different positions and it never seems to be a problem.Quote:

I wonder if it matches NRL's seating plan & grading re premium seats? If it displays properly this is ticketmaster's seating plan for the stadium:

Or the season pass seating from their site:

That's because the sun never shines!Quote:

Definitely will consider doing this, enjoy sitting in Bay 58 too but since it is now upgraded to Gold i also might consider moving closer to the middle.Quote:

neither did I and we were randomly put next to each other bahahahaQuote:

Can anyone remember how many months the payment plan was for last season?
Am trying to work out what cost was last year compared to upcoming year.
Understood the need for season tickets to go up and was happy for this. However have taken a double hit with our silver seats now being considered as gold.
Make the move...I did. Pretty sure it was 9 months last few seasons.
Think it was 10 months. $16 a month for $160 seats
Don't know if this has been mentioned but I noticed on the Membership info sent out in the mail that prices will increase after 31st July.
Can't really see the logic behind this, other than to send the message to people to hurry and sign up before August. The loyal die-hard supporters will have signed up by then but I can understand many others putting off signing up, to wait and see if the club is going to make a statement by bringing in 1 or 2 name players before the season starts. If they here prices will go up in August, they might just say "well bugger it then".
Not the greatest of PR strategies.
A lot of clubs all over the world have early bird prices for ST even for match day tix when I lived in the UK and went to Championship matches. They might go up about $10 or so, cannot imagine it would be a significant increase.Quote:

Has anyone heard anything about the seating allocation for renewing members with Bay 60 no longer being available because of Squadron move? I was sure it said in the membership brochure they were gonna contact Squadron ticket holders before the memberships were set to renew. Or will I just get allocated a random seat in the new Squadron area if I renew?
All those existing bay 60 members have automatically been transferred to the new seating area on the Hill. As far as what seat you are allocated, this will be finalised in coming weeks. Although to be honest, no one sits in their allocated seats anyway so does it really matter?
Thanks furns, and you are right it doesn't matter
So far 5504 Members
Not bad. Really need a good performance though in the FFA Cup against Victory to give supporters a bit of confidence and to kick the membership drive into gear.Quote:
