jw1739 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Released today. http://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/article/201617-memberships-on-sale/14nuw8xbtr8321pnunrz6o01lf I have to say my initial reaction is that it's far too early - we haven't even finished the regular 2015/16 season.

Harrison Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Seems to be a move to capitalise on our current form. Sign them up now so that if we fall to pieces they won't have much of a choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I guess we'll see what happens with Mooy, but yes I agree that Caceres is seemingly set to remain at the club for next season. I wonder whether he'll be signed by Melbourne City or loaned out to us again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Just so we have this on record for 2016/17... From the FAQs: 11. I HAVE AN ALLOCATED MEMBER SEAT. CAN I SIT WITH FRIENDS WHO AREN’T MEMBERS AT CERTAIN GAMES? Melbourne City Adult, Junior and Concession members will receive two FREE General Admission tickets (for any match excluding the derby) with their membership. City Family memberships will receive four FREE General Admission Tickets*. Your FREE General Admission tickets will be sent out with your membership pack. These can be used to introduce friends to the beautiful game. You can choose to bring two friends to any game (excluding the derby) or 1 friend to one game and 1 friend to another game. If you wish to bring friends after you have used your FREE tickets, the simplest way is to purchase General Admission match tickets for your friends which will ensure you can all sit together. *FREE General Admission Tickets are only available for those that sign up before 31 May 2016. If you wish your friends to sit in the same membership category as your existing membership (e.g. City Gold, Silver and Blue), you will need to enter your barcode on ticketek and choose a new seat for yourself which has available adjacent seats for your friends. Please note there is an administration fee to re-allocate your seat. How it works: Visit ticketek.com.au to purchase your guest tickets for the selected match of your choice. To exchange your seat for the selected match simply enter the barcode shown on the back of your membership card. This will allow you to swap your seat for this occasion only so that you can sit with your guests. Members also have the opportunity to upgrade their seat at a discounted rate for one-off games using the Ticketek system. Members will still be able to purchase additional tickets in the upgraded category for their guests. Ticketek transaction fees may be incurred during this service.

Thrillhouse Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 don't like the idea of bringing next seasons memberships out early when this season is still going, especially as we're pushing for the league good to see 2 gen admin tickets getting thrown in and also a choice of scarf/hat not sure about the "price freeze", thought last seasons for me was supposed to be $260, could only find an invoice for $265 in my email and to renew now it says $270 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Just got around to wondering what the deal is with the 2 free GA tickets. I assume that my wife and I will both get the two tickets because we are two adult memberships. But will a family membership of two adults and two children receive 8 free tickets, and a family GA membership (2+4) receive 12 free tickets?

johnno cpfc Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Just to give everyone a heads up on renewing your memberships, I tried to renew this week and unfortunately the membership site must have a fault as it would not allow me to renew. it kept asking me to book a seat but there was no indication as to my seats that we have had for four years as it told me they were taken, i knew they were taken as they were my current seats and there also was no renewal button or any indication on the page to tell them i was renewing. I gave up after several attempts and booked by phone the next day, it was all so easy done and dusted in five minutes. Good luck to anyone trying the online system. I might add that Corey Gameiro answers the phone albeit a recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a good 15 mins, back and forth between webpages to figure out how to renew.. Not to mention I can't bloody remember what my log in details are.. They should make it simpler by having a 'renew' button either on the email that they have sent you or on the website itself after you log in.. Unbelievable that they still can't get it right considering that this is the second time they are going through this process. City Voice, I am coming for ya..

jw1739 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 I rang the membership line today because I wasn't sure whether I was on an "automatic renewal " or not. Perhaps I'd forgotten, but I learned that anyone on a monthly payment plan by direct debit (as we are) will automatically renew for next season - same category, same seats etc. Before the renewal takes effect they will receive an e-mail telling them they have the option to "opt-out" if they wish, but otherwise they will automatically "opt-in." All a bit confusing, but Rachel on the membership line was extremely helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold has as much cap space as us and a functioning marquee (lol Koren) and his team has done shitter than ours. I don't think you can guarantee shit. It's all hot air and bullshit. What's not working is those people in the head office and coaching setup so lets move them on and get CFG to set us up properly in the backroom with a coach and a list manager of sorts both of whom are responsible for how the club performs.

Murfy1 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 The club jumped the gun bringing out the early memberships IMO. The club needs to offer its supporters more before they recommit, or at least happily recommit, for next season. A new coach would be a great start. I'll sign up next season again, but ATM I'm not too happy about the idea. The concern being that next season will be more of the same of this club's first 6 seasons. The absolute minimum CFG can do is sign up a few exciting players for next season. There is absolutely zero excuse for not having 2 marquees for the whole season: last season we had no (Australian) marquee for the first half of the season (Kennedy), and this season we had no international marquee for the second half of the season (after Koren was released). CFG must shoulder some of the blame for Melbourne City not having 2 marquees for the whole of Melbourne City's first two seasons. It really is something a club with CFG's resources should be able to accomplish. Also, the club should have it's 5 Visa spots filled at the start of the season, with useful players that are good enough to make the starting XI (it's no surprise that we've lost to 2 teams over the past 2 weeks that had 5 Visa players on the pitch in each game). It really is basic recruiting, and if the club can get those 5 to 7 signings right, it would go a long way to building excitement for next season, and ensuring that this club achieves more next season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
