2011/12 Membership Thread

One foundation membership card turned up today.

Got the Foundation membership today.  

All our Foundation passes arrived today.

After organising an e-ticket yesterday, my membership pass was waiting for me when I got home.

gggrrrrr, replacement foundation passes haven't arrived

Due to a severe lack of funds, I thought that I would have to miss out on a season ticket this year.

However, yesterday afternoon I felt obliged to give the hotline a call. After being on hold for 46 mins, I managed to snap up my Foundation Membership / e-ticket.

Bring on the Jets. Mon the Phoenix!

mine didnt arrive yesterday, finally got through to ticketek at 345pm after trying all day, then went on hold for 50 mins to get eticket

phew

NEWSFLASH!

I'm 2340, so seems within Wednesday afternoon to the night we sold 32 memberships. Not a bad number sold I suppose.

This is exactly what I'm worried about now!

ditto! Mine arrived couried this morning,  but not my wifes!

Not good. now we have to f45k around at the stadium tomorrow

Have you purchased a 2011/12 season membership but are yet to receive your card? All memberships up to and including Wednesday 12 October have been processed, printed and mailed. If yours is yet to arrive then please report to a Ticketek window at the game on Sunday and present your driver's licence or passport as identification and you will be issued with a paper ticket to the game.
NOTE: give yourself plenty of time to get your ticket, DO NOT wait until just before kick off. Allow at least 30 mins and enjoy the game!

Will be interesting to see how much post-match venting there is about this

Haven't read the rest of this thread but quick question for you guys...

How much is a season membership this year (not Foundation Membership), and how can I get one? On the Phoenix website it's not an easy process -- there's no price listed on the membership page and the best I could find was a "prospective member" form I could fill out to sign up to be in the club... No price or anything. Does anybody know? Or perhaps it's too late to sign-up? I'd prefer to know the price of membership before filling out the forms and signing up for a Phoenix site login.

If I click the "Join as new member" tab at the bottom of the following page, the only options available are bench warmer memberships (ie, voluntary donations from out-of-towners):

Normal 'silver' membership is $250. 'Gold' is a more expensive, not sure of the exact price (the only difference is that 'Gold' gives you better seats around the halfway line).

If you're a student or pensioner it's cheaper, but not sure on the prices.

$150 for students I think?

jamesnz, give the phoenix hotline a call on 04 384 2457 (Monday � Friday, 9:00 � 4:30pm)

Foundation Member card not arrived so hopefully membership card with the missing person ad (nice touch) gets me in.

Thanks for the info guys. Still undecided about whether I'll grab membership this year, but will definitely be down to most, if not all, of the matches!

still waiting on mine, if it's not in the mail today I'm calling and giving tickislack another bollocking!

FFS, due to a muck up in the ticketek system they sent my membership to the wrong address!!!! ordering a new card - hopefully!

thats unusual for ticketek

yeah i was totally shocked, story goes th last year I gave my chch ticket to a mate so got it posted to them hence their address being loaded in the system. whoever took the details set that address as my main address - retards! now i have to wiat for a whole week while they sort it out.

I've been thinking, and I don't think I'll ever actually be bothered going up to the member lounge, especially as the others in my party aren't elgible. Any non foundation members want my wristbands? (Assuming it doesn't violate any Phoenix sub-clauses).

I have been trying my best to get more and more people to home games. First home game I brought 8 people who had never been to a nix game before. Coming home game (against Viktree) those 8 have confirmed their attendance again!! I reckon they're hooked ;) 4 of those 8 are seriously thinking about buying season memberships! Got a couple to buy nix merchandise including 1 stripey and jacket from RYOS lambton..

I feel proud. Proud of phoenix and YF that they can attract new fans. Keep up the good work.

Just thought I'd share.

"The Phoenix have sold just 2300 season memberships this season � down from 3200 at the same stage last season � despite the A-League experiencing a 16 per cent overall increase.

Phoenix chief executive Nathan Greenham was unavailable for comment yesterday, but has said this week that membership sales were hurt by the combination of a tumultuous off-season and the RWC dominating the interest of sports fans."

Disappointing, but not surprising.

I think once things have settled (is that now?), and with the Phoenix still in touch with play-off aspirations (if later), then a reduced half-season ticket or special deal rest-of-season ticket should be looked at.

Something that doesn't sh*t on the loyals, but recognises the adverse market up to this point in time.

If we have a great day out tomorrow, there's even an opportunity to move on this quickly imo. Not sure if I'd stoop to GrabOne, but such options could be considered as you can get quick bucks and high market access (although wouldn't want to see the discount that is the norm with the GrabOnes of the world - see condition 1 in the above para!).

Some opps need to be considered nevertheless.

I'd expect that the new owners will contract in some marketing expertise, if they haven't already done so

If you get interviewed before your kick on Friday, you should ignore whatever questions you get asked and explain your season pass situation.

True, perhaps not the greatest idea, but theprof would get his pass swiftly and promptly!

hahaha, I think I'll keep the agnst for here, I'll be the prefect happy little nix fan on friday night, happy with the team...loving everything....when I get the shot in however?!?

A hell of a wait and one email later.... And I have heard nothing. They have't ever responded. I'm getting a benchwarmer membership so I am practically GIVING my money to the club and they haven't even taken the payment from my card yet!

So today I received membership card number 2! Exactly the same as the one I have, and used on Sunday!

The wait is over, got my foundation member pass yestarday....
