I can't fathom how anyone can be confused about it. City members who have a GA membership have to reserve a seat for the derby. There is no GA admission. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he/she was referring to my post about having a season seat but wanting to sit with friends. Apparently I have to pay for a new seat, cant transfer over my season seat for a ticket elsewhere. That is what the club told me anyway, well they didn't tell me, after saying it was a ticketek issue, a mate called asking the same question and they told him.

They should have copped 6 tonight. If we play for 90 minutes we win its that simple..wanderers have no firepower, we do. The only thing that worries me is mv always seem to win when they play awful. We better be clinical as they are pretty ordinary in general play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Not at all worried, victory try and score and they don't sit back which means more space.

n i k o Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) It certainly doesn't seem like we are playing as well as earlier in the season. But we keep finding ways to win. I'd say on performance they are definetly looking much better than earlier in the season but I back our resilience. Still feels so foreign saying that.

jw1739 Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 There's an underlying assumption in these projections that all City members with reserved seats will attend - which we know from past experience is not the case - and so those seats can't be sold. The average home derby attendance (10 matches) is 25,607. Range 26,539 - 23,059. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my City Blue reserved seat isn't occupied by me, no one else gets to buy it, because until I physically turn up and sit in it, no one knows whether it will be occupied or vacant. Same for any reserved seat membership. On a different note, some Muppet has decided to close all the rail lines to the eastern suburbs this weekend between Parliament and Camberwell, so it is going to be absolute freaking chaos outside Richmond station where thousands of fans from both teams will be trying to get on three knackered buses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those seats are then released to the public the day before if they havent been bought, as it is assumed that it is unlikely someone will buy a membership in the last 24 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close reading of the PTV site provides replacement bus timetables for the whole weekend, but then there is some unfathomable sub clause suggesting that the replacements only apply to night buses. Since everything else seemed to point to complete replacement I took the majority decision. For now, all is noise and confusion, like our defence on a bad day.

jw1739 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 You need to go to this page https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/live-travel-updates/ and click on "Additional information for Metropolitan trains" and then scroll down to "Upcoming travel information." Buses are replacing trains on the Cranbourne, Pakenham, Glen Waverley, Belgrave, Lilydale and Alamein lines. If you're intending to travel on any one of those lines you need to check out just what services are affected. If you have any uncertainty I suggest that you contact PTV. Just looking at, for example, the Belgrave, Lilydale and Alamein lines, the information there is completely ambiguous - well, it is to me anyway. I always check the web-site a couple of hours before projected departure from home because I've been caught several times over the seasons (Sandy line).

I commute daily on the Belgrave line so I'm regularly checking out what's up. Saw this just checking whether there were any disruptions to my journey home. And yes, it is completely ambiguous. Maybe my note to PTV will get it sorted.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, at the rate that new memberships are being sold (266 since the 5-game memberships were released) not too many seats should be reserved for purchases between now and the Derby.
