Deviant Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 it is a home game... its mandatory to have a regional game. plus they go up every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 The membership price has gone up and when i asked why they said because there is 14 home gmes. I pointed out that one of them is a regional game and not at home, so therefore we only have 13 home games. They couldn't answer why the price increase. Well, there are inclusions in my membership - the cap and 'banner/scarf.' On the matter of the '14th home game' I would say that membership includes admission to the 'home' regional game to be played in Victoria. IMO any reasonable person would interpret the membership package that way. If the club reneges on that I would say it is going back on what it advertised.

Red or Dead Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 If it's going to be played in Victoria the game needs to be in Wodonga, since Albury is in NSW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntiScum Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 If it's going to be played in Victoria the game needs to be in Wodonga, since Albury is in NSW!

Tommykins Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Geelong would be a decent trip, while Albury/Wodonga would be a bit of a mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Would love a Geelong game. Would actually be rapt if the club moved 3-5 games a season there including the regional fixture and sold a "Geelong games membership". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that Geelong is probably the best for regional games, closer to Melbourne and a larger catchment base for new supporters. Oh, and closer to Warrnambool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexiano Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 It DOES say all 14 games included, which means that we get free entry to the game (if you choose to go to it) 2nd, previously, friendlies you needed to pay for.. Also included. 3rd. Inflation. How much has your health insurance gone up, etc. How much HAS it gone up.. Active is 225 this year vs what last year? was it 190 or something?

LR9 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Our regional game is still TBC, I'm assuming other clubs will be playing in Albury.. afaik our game will be in Shep and unlike the previos one in Whorewell, this one is included as part of our season tickets. As for prices I think prices are pretty reasonable tbh... Active Support/GA Prices past 4 seasons are as follows:2011/12 (13HG, 2 Derbys) Adult $195.00 Concession $120.00 Basic Junior $37.50 Ticker’s Junior Team* $75.00 Teen* $110.002012/13 (13HG, 1 Derby)There was a price freeze with 11-12 prices for a couple months Adult $215.00 +20 Concession $130.00 +10 Basic Junior* $40.00 +2.5 Ticker’s Junior Team* $80.00 +5 Teen $120.00 +10 2013/14 (14HG, 2 Derbys) Adult $225 +10 Concession $135 +5 Basic Junior $40 +0 Ticker’s Junior Team $85 +5 Teen $125 +5 However, compare to Season 1, its still hasn't changed much:2010/11 (15HG, 2 Derbys) Adult $225 +0 Concession $150 -15 Teen $110 +15 Junior $37.50 +2.5 Compared to AFL in the same period of time we are getting a very good deal, my club:2010 (11 Games) Adult$254 Concession $185 Junior $712013 (11 Games) Adult $280.00 +26 Concession $200.00 +15 Junior $80 +9So everyone sign up and stop whinging 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kontra.11 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 To me they were overpriced in the first place and having them cheaper would have probably meant more members. I will pay anyway, just saying. If we are a community and family club then ticket prices have to reflect it. Love the way the Bundesliga do season ticketing. For less than 150 euro's, you could have watched Bayern Munich win 4 trophies last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For less than 150 euro's, you could have watched Bayern Munich win 4 trophies last season. As with last year, I would have preferred the price freeze from last seasons prices over the cap offer. $450.00 is still a fair price although the additional derby booking costs (not the principle of reserving a seat) are a bit of a slap in the face to GA ticket holders. Perhaps it is time to have set seats at the ends of the ground, after all GA and Active are the same prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murfy1 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Love the way the Bundesliga do season ticketing. For less than 150 euro's, you could have watched Bayern Munich win 4 trophies last season. I also have appreciation for the Bundesliga's ticketing. However, they manage to have such impressive prices because Germany is the most populous country in Europe, and one of the wealthiest too, which are key reasons why the Bundesliga has the highest average football attendances in the world (along with the Bundesliga being a fairly old and established league, which means good clubs and good football). The Bundlesliga can therefore get by on low prices for individual tickets because the Bundesliga sells so many tickets. I hope when the A-League becomes more established that it seeks to learn from and emulate many of the positive qualities that the Bundesliga possesses, but for the time being the A-League and its clubs can't copy it too much.

alexiano Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Slightly off topic, but have you seen what he Melbourne Tigers charge for membership? Silver, (which is the lowest that I could see): $384 for only 14x 48min games? https://memberdesq.imgstg.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=custom_page&CategoryID=17074&OrgID=4250 $225 is a dead-set bargain. Get around it. I'm not necessarily convinced making it cheaper would make it more appealing. I had times had trouble GIVING away tickets. Appeal needs to breed/grow.
