Definitely agreed, the twitter account has been 100 times better already. Good signs for her future.
As for the season membership stuff, can we have a Sack Ticketek thread?

$60 with a ticket is a steal.... it is apparently going to cost me $75.... maybe that includes a scarf... lol..... $25 increase in last year.... however I still believe even with a wooden spoon team... good value
Would prefer to have a scarf over the cap as (even would pay a few extra quid more) and whats more... Moosette hate caps...
club membership or not, it's clear the club really don't value the foundation members that much, the cost for a season pass isn't high and we can't really complain but the club don't appear to be really pushing to meet or even try to meet the fans requests regarding game times etc, I personally don't buy all the FFA bully us into it crap.

Re the season pass vs club membership. Wasn't it the case that in the first few seasons the benefits of the two were combined as one package. But a season or two ago, they separated them and therefore reduced the season pass cost (price per game).
Isn't the main difference that club members get access to some special club webpages and club events?
Secondary is the shiny baubles and the extra ticket.

Either way, don't really see how the club is screwing anyone. They aren't making me buy both. I didn't get the club membership last year. Doesn't make me feel any less about being part of the club.
Wellington Phoenix Club Membership
Our first ever Club membership. This is your chance to become an inaugural member of this very special offering. More than just a season ticket holder, a Club Membership means you are a member of the Club itself. Besides having privileged access to some Club events and see in behind the scenes of the Club with the exclusive members only website, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you are part of an exclusive club of supporters.
A Club Membership is also perfect for supporters outside Wellington. The Club membership will form the basis of a network of supporter ‘cells’ that we will establish throughout New Zealand, Australia and around the world. Club members will have the chance to meet the Phoenix when we are playing away from Wellington.
For a very affordable $50 for an adult, or $25 for a child, the benefits of a Club Membership includes an exclusive membership pack, access to a Club Member only website hosting interviews with players and management and video analysis, attendance at the Club AGM and member only discounts at the Wellington Phoenix on-line store.
So basically a way to tier your membership to the club. as is this...

I think memberships are a great idea BUT you have to truly treat them like members of a club i.e. they should be consulted and listened to on issues that affect them. I think it would be a great show of faith to elect someone from the membership to the board

For me, if you purchased both last year, you were getting pretty good value for money compared to previous years. The question is, do you want the benefits that the club membership provides?
The way I look at it is, at least the club is giving the people the option. They could have lumped it all together and charged $250. That extra $50 would have put some people off. By separating, it provide the way of selling memberships to the the people who only want/can afford a seat the stadium. For those that want/can afford the rest, can upgrade their membership.
Win win for both sides.
Nobody is forcing anyone to buy anything, if you don't like what the season pass entitles you to (or doesn't entitle you to) Ballane, then don't buy one. Simple.
I don't know if this has been covered yet (I'm viewing this on my phone, so it's a hassle to scroll through many pages), but separate membership also allows people like me who are overseas to still feel like we're contributing to the club without paying for seats we'll never use.
I can understand how being asked to pay another $50-60 to be considered a member of a football club that you've been a season pass holder of since season 1 can be seen as a bit of a slap in the face.
However 2B makes a good point that they could have just lumped it on to the season price, and had it more expensive. This at least gives people an option.
Perhaps they could do something where they make the club membership option free to foundation members?
"you will have the satisfaction of knowing you are part of an exclusive club of supporters"
This is the kind of marketing hypno-speak used to appeal to the weak-willed and simple-minded.
Sounds like fucking snake-oil to me.

I have my own gripes about pricing, memberships etc etc. However I look forward to renewing my season ticket and very probably club membership having been a foundation member as somehow it makes me feel that the interminable long fucking off season has some light at the end of the tunnel

Agree with this.
That's why I only renew my season pass last year (foundation member) and didn't buy into the whole Club membership thing.
Was a bit disappointed that, having had a season pass since day 1 and having been to basically all home Nix matches, I was somehow seen as 'below' a club member, but at the end of the day the club's aim is to increase its fan base and bring as many to the stadium as possible, so I get that.
100% with this guy.
The twitter account seems to have got much better. I don't think it is time for a 'Sack Thundersticks' thread yet,
Fair enough, and just to be clear, I wasn't trying to start a sack thundersticks campaign yet. I'd just love for the club to get all this clear from the start for once. E.g.
1/ Why have the club "members" got the info and not the season ticket holders? If it's a perk for members then that's fine, but let us know
2/ Make sure details (e.g. passwords, logins, what season it is etc) are correct before sending out the emails... this really is marketing 101
3/ Why give a season ticket price, if we don't even know how many games are in Wgtn yet (or are the 3 tbd definintely not in Wgtn?)
And why couldn't she just be on here answering this stuff anyway? When TonyP used to come on here, he could cut a lot of the angst off at the knees very early about admin stuff etc, without getting involved in anything he shouldn't have. I just don't get why all of this stuff is so hard to get right, and we have to try to work it out for ourselves.

1/ I am both season and Club memeber and have no email contact
2/ My old log in which I tried is not linked to my previous seats and memberships yet. It may never be
3/ The worst that can happen is you get an extra game for the price already set.
Last year I put a comment up regarding buying 3 memberships when I could have got an equivalent for 1/2 the price. Ticketek tracked my contact details down and call to confirm they could alter the transaction if I wanted.
Don't RANT - be patient you want miss a thing, - paper tickets work well.

So basically this is all just speculation, and we only know that;
1: Tickets are not on sale
2: Prices have not been released
3: Schedule has not been confirmed i.e. we don't know how many games will be at the stadium
Earlier posts appeared to provide answers to all of these, now none of them are true. I'm confused.
