A very good price indeed. Will go for the Wellington games but need a date to book the annual leave.


Why do you need a date?  What are your preferences - not that I can promise you anyone.

This is super cool. If the Phoenix admin were in any way responsible the earlier suggestions of tickets at $100-120, they are very clever bastards.

Havent seen anything on this site, but I presume local football will be cancelled that day.

As to who to kidnap. Well going on articles abroad, the WHU fans would offer a good reward to hold BFS here for a few months.

Mind you if we dont beat Spurs or Man City, he may not be coming

I can't discribe how excited I am at this. I don't even support Newcastle or West Ham but it is massive having them both here and able to take them around the country too.

I realise why Phoenix are wanting people to re-new to get the early tickets, actually a smart idea. They also announce you can become a member for 2014-15 season on 12th May so get early tickets also before they go on sale to general public on the 19th May.

Only question for me left is can members buy extra tickets with their membership for friends/family?

This is amazing. Going to have to pace the turbo shadies on the double header.

That's why Roar pulled out - so their fans wouldn't have to deal with them.

I want/need to get a couple of lounge tickets. I'm not sure I'm ready to even try yet. Fckinhopeless.

Tickets in the WestHam end for the first game of the double header, then to the Zone for the second leg?

 

Fail. You have to have the same seats for both games. And there is no YF zone. Just "Silver".

Ticketek ridiculousness.

Actually, Feverish,  can you explain the Wharfie strip origin please?

It is the same as when it was just Waterside FC - I remember playing against them as Karori Swifts.  Also there were a good number of Northerners at the club (no surprises given that it was for wharfies families) including Geordies and Mackems from memory.

That's shit there's no zone but not a surprise you have to get the same seat for both games. Surely it'd be a logistical nightmare selling seats seperately for each of the double header games.

Very happy with this deal. Big ups to the club, they really nailed it with this one. Great call attaching it to the season tickets.

You must purchase a Premium Club or Season Ticket membership to buy tickets. Any orders found without a membership order will be cancelled

They are also unaware of any Fever Zone in Auckland.

Finally (third transfer lucky) found someone helpful who is going to clarify and come back to me.

You need a login and password which should be emailed to you by the club.

The black and white stripes are from Waterside which goes back donkeys and was chosen because of someone's affiliation with Toon.

Okay. So 25 minutes later I have ticket confirmations and have renewed my season ticket.


Don't waste your time trying to use their website - even Ticketek don't know how it works. Ring 04 384 3842 and speak to a real person. They don't know exactly what's going on but they're pretty helpful.


As an aside, I rang up with my season pass number and without telling them anything except that number they told me my email address, phone number, password (!!!) and postal address. Security to the max.

Thanks.  I was very jealous of them in their Toon-wear, while I had to pretend I was WHam or Villa.


Hate the red.  That is all.

My mind is full of fuck reading these Ticketek posts. I'll come back in a few days when theyve sorted their shit out.

Another good question raised by a Fever Exec member - will Capital Football postpone games on the double-header day?

We have two Newcastle fans at my work. Both will be overseas when this game is on. One is actually heading over to Newcastle and the other will be in Aussie. Both are gutted especially as they think this is a game they could possibly actually win.

I think they will have to or there will be a lot of defaults happening. I know I won't be playing on that day and nor will a fair number of my team.

So Ticketek fail and CF rescheduling required.

I can see this working out well.
