liked the Full page in the paper today. Reminded me of the Hurricanes one.

But if I'm completely honest with myself i don't know how much its going to work.

Saw the small ad in the Hutt News.
Heard the Manawatu Turbos ad on the radio, they have such a bad product their season tickets were going for $60 adults $30 kids.

A dog with a bone :)

what are peoples thoughts on the season ticket advertising? full page ad in Dom today


 A more noticable step up from previous efforts that I can remember. I've heard Poly and Grant talking up Phoenix Stand Up promo on ZM a number of times, and see Phoenix 09/10 membership ads in the Dom most times I read it.
 
 And the promo people wandering around Wellington on the Segways

that front page advert today must have cost a lot but i guess it must be worth it if it gets people talking

 The membership ticker seems to have stuck at 1714... surely we still have members signing up? :|

None of my friends are interested in season tickets.  Is it better to find a football buddy or wing it on my own.  want to do my bit for the economy! Would hate to get seasons and be surrounded by empty seats.

Get a seat between 21 and 22, probably from about row M up and you will have hundreds of new friends.

Oh, and slap your friends.

How's my driving? - Whine here

I have renewed my two tickets. However, I'm a little concerned. the counter was stuck on just above 1700 for a couple of weeks, and then a huge jump to 1786 - still way short of the 4000 hoped for.

The full page paper and constant radio ads must be costing a fortune, but not shifting season passes.

So anyone who has yet to sign up (and lives in Wellington) get onto it now.

Failure to get a decent number of punters turning up will mean we lose the club...

funny you should say that, as my Sports lecturer heralded Manawatu rugby as doing great stuff with their product. Although the rugby is shthouse, they get familes along there in their droves for the pre-match entertainment and half time show. Fireworks and stuff. The kids love it. Everyone leaves just after half time.

Nobody bothered about this then?? Could be one reason why people aint' getting them?? I was close to making the purchase, but then it didn't work so I didn't bother.
 
I have reported it to Ticketek, but still not working.
 
That new total has gone up 70 since I looked 2 days ago so not too bad.

I might bite the bullet and get mine renewed. ill just loan it out to friends, as i hardly got a chance to go last season . working game days and acquiring a second child during the season put a damper on my attendance, but it sounds  like the club are genuinely struggling without my support. I just looked in the top drawer of my desk and found my lanyard with my season 1 & 2 tickets in it (getting nostalgic). I'm thinking the biggest downturn in sales are not from supporters/feverites but corporate clients. I know a lot of companies in the wellington region bought season passes for their staff the last two years but probably cant justify the expense due to general purse string tightening this year.

You've got the wrong link.
Your one has a stray less than sign at the end of it.
Try
http://memberships.ticketek.co.nz/phoenix

or this one:
http://memberships.ticketek.co.nz/Phoenix/Product/PackagesOnSale.aspx?bookingmode=True

Works fine for me in Firefox and IE8.

Yours works, but the one I copied and pasted was directly from the Ticketek NZ site. I've still heard nothing from them either...

Gosh Steve, I hope you come back and post when you're in a good mood, and not just for a whinge!
It's all a bit negative lately ...

Chaps,

Long suffering Auckland-based supporter, finally got myself a job down here in our glorious capital. Me and a mate are about to mail in our season ticket applications, hopefully so Ticketfarce can get them back to us before the opener.

Other than just ticking the YF seating area box, is there any way we can get ourselves in amongst the true nutters, we are both partial to a bit of singing and shirts off action (as witnessed at the SFS last season).

Anyways, any advice is appreciated, otherwise Roll on August

Ciao

Anywhere in the Fever Zone will do you.

People tend to stand, and not always use allocated seats anyway so you can probably squeeze in somewhere else.  The importnat part is to have the right aisle for access to the zone as that is what they police.

This lad's in.  Didn't make it last few years (I mean no S.P., went to games), but figured time to get the pass and support properly. I hope a few more punters get on the ball.

Signed up mid last month, they've taken the money and yet no tickets. Called the number today  they could not say when or if the tickets would arrive in time and that if they didn't I would have to go to the ticket office on game day and plead my case. Yeah that's why I spent $500. ...

membership number has been 'stuck' on 2008 for last 'few' days
 
hopefully it's a symptom of the site being under-maintained rather than zero sales

It was Stuck on 1900 and something for over a week. I think it could actually be Nill sales.

Probably just a manual update from whoever maintains the site.
Btw, our season tickets arrived in the mail yesterday.Was getting a little nervous, with all the stories on the other thread.
All the best if you're waiting too.


  Improving,,on the up, a work in progress from Italiano and the Nix. Bring on the bathroom bling in '24! COYN!

yep, i was hoping they'd feel a bit embarrassed if they thought people were doubting sales numbers
 
the number is still stuck on 2008
 
seems to me that it wouldn't take 'days of back-breaking work' to update the number and  that having a low and innacurate number can hardly help the marketing
 
clearly the folks at the Nix with the marketing quals see things differently
