jw1739 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I would be careful at drawing comparisons just yet. Many of the numbers going up now are automatic renewals via the direct debit plan and this could be skewing the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony999 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 So they direct debit even if you didn't want membership?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n i k o Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 So they direct debit even if you didn't want membership??No. They send an email in advance notifying you of this and allow you to cancel if you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovan Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) I rang today to query the new premium c. Previously from season 2 I have had a family GA season ticket with 2 adults and 4 kids. Now if I want premium c which costs $485 it only includes 2 kids. The extra 2 kids will cost me $55 each , $110. The GA has remained the same cost but can only sit at the northern end. So I basically asked if anything can be done about my 2 kids that could potentially miss out as we really want to maintain the choice of moving ends. I'm waiting for a return call.

K-aram92 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Renewed in the active yet again. I can see why the change in seating is a problem for many, especially with those with kids etc. That's one good thing about being in the active area, there's really nothing to worry about when memberships get released other than any potential price increase.

Don't know how I'll do that now.Of course it's offset by reserved seating, which comes in even handier for the derbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjake1234 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Anybody else find it difficult to renew/book memberships for a group. I tried to do it for myself and 4 others (all existing members) to make sure we all sat together in the new premium C but being asked for all their details (which I didn't have) instead of just their membership number made it very confusing. So I mucked it up. Luckily Hilary at memberships sorted it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I never really had a chance as I had five different people to buy for, some adult, some concession and a teen and intended for some to be payment plan and others up front with payments were to be made across multiple credit cards.Ended up calling with my requests and you can tell the girl was frustrated and I was told I was "too fricken' confusing" lol.But all sorted now, they're doing a great job in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's tough when prices rise, but $55 is only $4 per match and you can actually retain that seat for as long as you want it. With reserved seating the opportunity to get 5-6 seats together is unlikely to come again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to lure friends/family this year with free entry and seat. Might have room for a lay down this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll end up paying the $55 and not renewing the youngest one. But it shouldn't be like this. I should be excited about renewing and happy about my investment instead I'm a little bitter and waiting for the next time to get upset. The major reason why I'm crankier than normal is that a mate of mine I convinced to sign up last year for the first time got a call last week about renewing and was explained about the new premium c and what was now available. He asked if all members were being called and was told that only first year members were being called. So at the end of the day I feel unwanted and insignificant. Not a way to be on a Friday arvo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF33 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 2,101.Not a bad start, I believe we can beat last year's total driven by anticipation of what SHOULD be a strong season for us. Preseason starts tomorrow so am expecting Novillo to be announced tomorrow, generating a lot of excitement!I'd suggest that will 100% come down to how the team starts the season.I've been a member for three years. In the first two months of those three years combined (so 24 games), we've managed 3 wins and 14 points all up. The phones at the membership offices would be running off the hook with that sort of form.It's a pattern. We make a few promising signings, there's a bit of excitement heading into the season, then after a few weeks, we're inevitably back in the basement and anyone that was taking the 'wait and see if this year might be different' approach with regards to a membership, politely declines the offer to sign on. We are competing with a consistently successful neighbour that packs out AAMI and gets good numbers for an AFL game at Etihad. We are perennially frustrating and play in front of empty stadiums of indifferent/apathetic/bitter supporters.For a change, I'd like to get to December without once saying 'this season is a write-off'. Just to see what it feels like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
