that's 8 more home games than we get but I get the point.

I'm not even going to try and log in or anything yet, but if $169 is true, it is extremely cheap, and therefore, good. There can be few excuses for getting a season ticket at that price.
To put it in perspective, a season ticket at Hibs (SPL) is approx $800 NZD for 18 home games.

Our season pass is really cheap, so you are right there is no excuse. Does help that we don't have many games in Wellington mind you!

Season tickets might be cheap but don forget your not a member of the Phoenix according to the club unless you also fork out for member ship which then makes our 10 homes a little more expensive.

Would you be happy if they included in $60 for membership in everyones season passes, making the cheapest season ticket $230?
I'm with 2B on this. Didn't take up the club membership last year, won't take it up this season. Doesn't make me feel any less of a fan.
I suppose if I did become a club member I could feel entitled to shout abuse at the team if they are performing poorly?

If your name is Vukovic you don't even have to pay $50 for it.

Decent point. I actually doubt a season pass with 'membership' included would necessarily up the price to $230.

The question is why does it cost $60 to be a member, I don't really see any additional associated costs that they need to cover - isn't it better that you make all season ticket holders members anyway and try and engage everyone to be more active fans?? Just not quite sure about the strategy here...
As you say it's a little confusing who it is aimed at
On Bayern, they can offer $200 season tickets because they subsidise them with massive corporate income and corporate facilities - not comparable for us
Normo's coming home
I did always assume (and am sure it was actually the case) that season pass holders were members, and the 'club membership' option was more for out of towners etc, who can't/dont want to buy a season pass, but still wants to contribute and be a member of the club.
This wouldn't add the $60 onto current season pass pricing. If this isn't the case, it certainly should be. Having season pass holders not being considered members of the club is a bit of a slap in the face.
doesn't really matter what the club considers them though, as a foundation member - which my pass states I get to go all home games plus the away from home home games, along with invites to things during the season. I'm happy with that.

What they should do is not call it "club membership" and call it a "thundersticks kit" or something similar - it's exclusive against ST holders as mentioned above.
They're all types of club m/ship, as people are choosing to spend their hard earned "entertainment" dollars on the club - they should be equally recognised as being so irrespective of the members situation/budget.
agree with you there surge, change the name to reflect what it actually is......my foundation member season pass is just that, the "club member" is a different thin all together.

Of course the great thing about being a Nix supporter is that we aren't Auckland.

- Foundation
- Burners (those whom regularly frequent the RoF)
- Murderers (those who've relocated outta Welly - crap, that woulda been me!)
- Plastics (just want a scarf and a fridge magnet).
Put me down for Plastic then (saw myself more as a tightwad, but a shiny fridge magnet trumps most things except a season pin).

Agreed - I had one in season 1 when I was in Brisneyland... made me feel valued and a part of "my" club even though I'd contributed to the assasination of Wellington (according to our PM).

Is the time right for Auckland to try again with another team in the A League? We'd have a genuine "Derby" game then. Just a thought.

Heres a riddle for you: If an Auckland A-league side play at an empty stadium and nobody was there to watch it, did they even play?

Could understand if club memberships were aimed at those living outside Wellington,just not sure why you have to buy both a season pass and a club membership to be considered a club member.
Maybe foundation should be renamed Terrys Mob and the new memberships The Welnix Few.Does seem at times they dont care that much for those who have been here from the start.
The only reason I bought the Club Membership last year for $50 is that as well as the free stuff (I like the badges and stuff!), I got a ticket to an away game that I'd only have ended up paying around A$30 for anyway! :-D
Hopefully this year it will be clear what away games the tickets will be valid for (if the deal is similar). Last season, CCM wasn't included in whatever list they had (and didn't share with those buying the Membership) for away games - but the club scored me a ticket after realising they probably should have provided more info in the first place....
For the record, I hate Sunday games and am very disappointed with the draw, but will absolutely unquestionably retain my Foundation membership.....
I like having a Club Membership, even though it doesn't give me any further privileges than the old Benchwarmer membership. It shows that the club cares about those of us who (through economic necessity or otherwise) don't live in Welly right now.
I'm not sure I get the angst. A season ticket means you come to all the games. A club membership means you consider yourself "on the Phoenix train" and have a stake in the future of the club. They're not quite the same thing, so it's good IMHO that they're separated.
