Renewed last week, but just got a personalised letter from our captain fantastic saying that the deadline for renewal has now been extended to 12 July.

Almost as good as a phone call from Ifill.

all renewed here after a Glen Moss reminder

he said they were at about 1k last Friday (he did ask some-one while we were on the phone, but not totally sure they had a clue)

even rang me back after Vinnie Lia cut us off while foolin around in the background

also said as a goalkeeper he too expected the guys in front of him to work a lot harder, play better footy and score more goals this year, lols

nothing like getting with the bosses' program Glen, sitting back and enjoying the fun with the rest of us

'twas a nice touch that player phone around

Dear Mahe

 

I know you are annoyed that the AWs got a trophy but you need to be cognisant (big word for you) of a couple of things

1: Its football. Fuck off to the US if you want to call it soccer

2: We don't call your sport paddling. Some of your rowers we have respect for. Unfortunately you are not of them.

3: Yeah you might be a world champ but for a heart condition, Rob Waddell would have smoked your ass and you would be John Nobody.

4: We could well be losers but people talk about us when we lose as well. No one talks about you.

5: Jealousy is but an ugly cologne

thought it was well said!

anyhoo, onto season pass chatter. Ticketek have finally charged my account - 2 weeks after my pass was renewed - and what do you know there's another little charge added onto the $177.25 I was invoiced for. So I call ticketek and they direct me to the 2.75% charge for debit/credit card transactions. This is noted in the three points at the bottom - evidently this is the club's fee. It's only an additional $4 but what annoys me is the little hidden extra costs that keep getting added to my season pass.

so now the long wait for the ticket to be sent.

Shows what a marketing push can do, and how we've had a lack of it in the past. Based on performance etc alone, numbers should not be up.

Also I think there is more optimism around. Ernie has been saying the right things.

Payment taken from credit card for 2 x Foundation Memberships (I guess....) - which only give approx 100 days to sort the season passes out before I get a little bit cross this year! :-D

They haven't taken for Club Memberships yet though... Did someone say cluster?!

Right, I want to buy Jnr Eejit his first season ticket (He might not actually get to a game, but he might like the gumpf in the kids members pack)

Anyway - I've already renewed my season ticket. But I'm a bit baffled as to what I need to do (speciofically the PAH/SAH options) to get Jnr Eejit a kids season

I've selected Full New Season ticket (doubt, as a 3 yo if he qualifies for foundation), Select Fever Zone, select kids ticket, it then presents the edit order details where I get the following

Product: 2013-14 Full Season Ticket Holder: YFZ   Member: Ginger Eejit Price Type: Kids Price: $45


So obviously I don't want to buy a kids seaso in my name, so I selected to add 'Secondary Account Holder', add Jnr Eejit's name and the in adds a second row:

Product: 2013-14 Full Season Ticket Holder: YFZ   Member: Jnr Eejit (PAH Ginmger Eejit mem#) Price Type: Kids Price: $45


So now I've go two rows, 2 tickets totalling, $90, of course I dont want a ticket in my own name - so delete my row.

So no I've got the 1 row, with Jnr Eejit's details, will I correctly be purchasing his ticket? - just with this option or do the PAH & SAH need to be purchased together (ie - should I have bought his when I renewed mine?)

Just emailed the club after receiving an order confirmation three weeks ago, and nothing else happening since. 

No money gone off my card. 

Nobody answered the phone- there is a recorded message telling me to ring back in business hours, although I called at 2.15 on Friday (possible Poet's Day?).

I really am getting too farkin old to put up with this shite year after year.

Finally, Brenda awesome  with an O.Ticketec  in general FKN hopeless so lets see we ring up to renew our foundation membership  but dont choose to also have a seat.

Just once would love things to go smoothly it cant be that bloody hard or is it.My boss would have my guts if we consistently made mistakes with the same group of customers.Would hope some one from the club sees some of these cluster fucks a brings them to account AGAIN.Yeah as if that would help.

When you take into account the exchange rate ($169 nz = approx $150 au), we are easily the 2nd cheapest season tickets in the A-League.

2nd equal if you consider we have 3-4 games less than other clubs. But yeah still incredibly priced.

Just a FYI. Rang in today to note my change of address, and was told that they had just processed an export of address details yesterday in prep for send out of all the membership packs. So hopefully not too far away now.
