Does the link work for anyone?

Not for me surprise surprise NOT. You would think after so many seasons it would be a nice easy process and the club would be all over it. Instead some of us seem to have the same FKN same ole same ole we had since season 1. Any wonder some people just dont bother and just hang out for the cheap tickets and seemingless endless frreebies that float around.

WTF, No benefit in this, are the club actively trying piss people off?? Is this going to be the modis operandi for this season?? First it was $10, then $15, Now $20. At Forsyth and up in Auckland at my favourite ground - QBE - it is $10. Westpac Trust appear to be a continual bunch of friggen retards when it comes to looking after fans - unless you're a coporate sponsor. Absolute wankers and that goes for the new CEO too!

To be honest, so far the issues buy etc have only been with Ticketek (no surprices there) and not the Nix fault.

Trouble logging on, getting it to recongise renewal prices instead of new prives and credit card failing are all Ticketek.

No Boot Parties allowed at Westpac. The parking policy I think is regional council dictated to drive public transport. The council appear to take a blind eye to the 2 hr street parking limit West of the stadium on event days (Unless you piss a resident off)

Really the shame for me is that many of the senior members of fever were prepared to just take what was being dished out. Not sure why you feel the need to have dig a at every opportunity you can.

Blame might be all Ticketek but sorry given the issues that have been there since our first season you would think the club might be all over it and trying to make sure it ran smoothly.

What can the club do though? They have to use Ticketek as the provider of choice (contracted) to Westpac, sure they can jump up and down and complain but really its the only provider they can use for the memberships. So unless Ticketek ups their game and gets a better system and customer service (Brenda was a god send if you were willing to pick up the phone) then the Nix are stuck with who they have got as the provider of choice to the stadium

Not sure how much the Club can influence Ticketek with the issues they're having? Problem would appear to be Ticketek's computer systems. I'm fairly sure Ticketek haven't turned to the Nix and said "Yeah, nah. Our computer systems are complete kack and the whole thing will be a disaster yet again this year". I'm also fairly sure that the Nix would be letting Ticketek know that they're less than impressed with the chaos. Again.

No problem lobbing grenades at the Club, when it's justified. In this case, I'm not convinced that it is.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

You would think that having a long term relationship with Ticketek it would give the club some influence but having worked in roles where  have been a ticket agent, the companies like ticketek, ticket direct etc are very difficult to deal with and theres not much you can do - ie its the stadium that has the deal with Ticketek so the Nix have to use them. If they were able to go and use Ticket Direct or another company, you'd probably find Ticketek would up there game

Not to down play all this but I feel like we discuss this and how sharkhouse Ticketek is each season...

I for one demand a better ticketing provider and a break from this Ticketek monopoly!

I don't think Patrick was being too personal, more like displaying a very dry sense of humour - well that's how I took it. My point remains though, they are creeping up the price of the parking. I thought being an ST holder showed the club some loyalty, and it was always nice to have some sort of perk/incentive. Cheap parking underneath was one. Come on Westpac Trust, come to the party, make it $10 like everyone else.

I was indeed making a joke, sorry it came across the wrong way to some. 

FWIW, I suspect the Club are hamstrung by the fact that Care Park are the operators of the car park, not the Stadium. I'm sure they want the rate to be as low as possible too, but Care Park are acting like a normal parking company and acting like cnuts.

Oh well Patrick, that's less money for them as fans find that the competition across the road charging only $15 will be creaming it. What would they rather have? 500 cars paying $10 or 50 cars paying $20. Keep it cheaper and make a profit or keep it expensive and make a loss??

Still, $30 for non ST holders is the biggest wrought yet, considering my earlier comment about what other stadia are charging.

If that is the case, maybe in future (If we have a future) Nix should be looking to move their membership list and requirements to another provider.

being able to park at the stadium when i was a season member was great for us out of wellington people could just rock up when you arrived in wellington have a car park and then after the game get back to your car and out of town heading for home. the other option would be get to wellington drive round for a while looking for parking then walk to the stadium then after the game walk back to your car then drive for a while to a motorway on ramp and then drive home, this adds extra time to the long drive home.

if they changed to another provider i would happily give them a try and become a member again, ticketek have mucked me around every season i bought a membership off them so not interested in getting a membership through ticketek.

When I hit the renew button, I get ...

"There are currently no past season packages available for renewal".

Anyone else get this?

It could be that my sign-on has got screwed up because of previous season fudge-ups, and this is a 'dummy' account against my email address. Possible, not sure.

Never easy.

I know, I know, its serious!

I went back to the Nix email, followed the link again, and then if you scroll towards the bottom of that page, there should be a renew button there.

this set up is not for the benefit of the customers is it! Stadium, caterers, car park company, ticket sellers, all trying to their ticket clipped for a nice profit along the way. No integrated approach and pricing structure. No wonder so few people go to events these days
