SHARE THE LOVE SUN 12/2 - 1/2 price tickets & more

SHARE THE LOVE SUN 12/2 - 1/2 price tickets & more

This got buried into the match thread for this weekend's fixture against the Roar but I think it's important enough to highlight and ensure the message gets through to Feverites who may not have studied the match thread in detail.

Here's a HUGE opportunity for Yellow Fever to help the Club and crowds.

In short - HALF PRICE TICKETS.

All Season Pass holders can purchase an UNLIMITED number of half price adult and child tickets (there may be a limit that I'm not aware of such as 10 or 20 but certainly you can buy more than 1 ticket per season pass). There is a one-off fee of $8.75 PER BOOKING (no matter how many tickets are purchased in that single transaction).

Bookings are made via 0800 TICKETEK (0800 842 538) and you will need your membership number handy.

Why not put up a notice at work and invite your colleagues to come along for half price? It's a great way to get some more casuals along, Gareth's $1000 will be on offer again, the team is SECOND and in winning form, it's the 101st game for Tony Lochhead - lots of awesome reasons why it's a great time to share the love and hope that love rubs off on a few casual to continue attending matches.

There are more love related themes happening on the weekend apart from the half-priced tickets:

Share the Love: Celebrate Valentine's With the Phoenix

The Phoenix's next home game versus Brisbane Roar is not only shaping up as a titanic A-League battle between two high-flying clubs, it's also going to be about sharing Valentine's Day with the Phoenix.

The match falls on February 12, two days before Valentine's Day. And in the spirit of Valentine's, there will be a number of events at the game all around sharing the Phoenix with your loved ones - there are some unique game day experiences for singles and couples!

Singles Zone
Love football? Love the Phoenix? Then how about you meet your love match at the match! The Phoenix Singles Zone will be your chance to meet someone who also shares your passion.

Lover's Lounge
From a dedicated lounge on Level 3, couples can enjoy a premium view and balcony seating to watch the game.

For $99 per couple you will get:
* two match day tickets including entry to the exclusive 'Lovers Lounge',
* a complimentary glass of bubbles or beer on arrival,
* a three course informal meal
* a Wellington Phoenix Valentine's gift bag

Tickets available now from Ticketek. Here's the link to the Lovers' Lounge Menu (PDF)

This is a great oppourtunity to bring all of those friends that you have been trying to get to come to games this season, but have never come, along to a game.

Can you only book the half price tickets by phone?

Pretty sure this is the case, which adds $3.50 to the booking if you normally would have done it by EzyTicket for $5.25.

Lovers Lounge was all sold out last night according to the Ticketek website.

Wifey was looking for us last night.. but alas...

Wow that's great! Not so much for you of course

But gee that would be amazing news for the Club if true.

I would say there would have been only a handful of tickets anyway.. the lounges can't be that big.

Yeah I'm guessing there would have only been about 50 seats for 25 couples. Still, it shows the marketing team that what they are doing is working with the public, so hopefully they can keep it up?

Potential marketing campaign for GCU game: Let's try and get 10 times a larger crowd than GCU's home average?

Any stats on the gender mix of the singles zone so far...

Male: 98%
Female: 0.5%
Undecided: 1.5%

Hopefully people going to the singles zone have been tested or it may end up a literal fever zones.

Needs posters outside the aisle as Singles walk in:

EzyTicket was $0 last time I checked? Not sure if that was a gimmick for the Heart game though?

Pretty damn sure it's $5.25 for EzyTicket given how often I've heard complaining on here about the Ticketek Fee of Evil for doing all the work and printing out your own tickets.

It WAS...but am saying it was $0 last time I checked, which was for the Heart game. I was applauding them on finally seeing sense and dropping the ridiculous $5.25 charge to print your own ticket when Ticketmaster do it for free.

Would indeed be awesome. Make fake booking and confirm? I'm on my mobile right now.

Tsk, it's back. Very poor.

ezyTicket (a $5.25 Transaction Fee applies for this delivery type)
Tickets are sent as a PDF attachment to your booking confirmation email. Open ezyTicket using Adobe Reader, save it to your computer then print your tickets at your convenience. ezyTicket requires Adobe Reader version 6.0 or above (version 8.0 is recommended).

$8.00 for venue pick up as well which is even worse!

Perhaps you hit a Ticketek bug last time. I wouldn't be surprised

Also be aware that while you say that Ticketmaster is awesome for having no fee to print out, you will be paying a fee. It will simply be absorbed into the ticket fee.

I personally prefer for the fee to be absorbed but ultimately as long as I'm not paying for someone else to use the call centre when I'm happy to self service, I'll be ok with it.

Ahmad, sent you this on twitter too. Here's what the Ticketek site is showing on those Lovers Lounge tickets.

Maybe only 1 ticket left? :P

I could probably get mates to go to the singles zone if they advertise some pics of all the ladies on offer there.

I thought ticketmaster charged 2 bucks or something for emailable tickets?

so members who have purchased the half price tickets, how much are adults and children each (without ripoff fee) and do they email them to you or do you have to pick them up?

Buy it for Mrs Goldie and you can go to the Singles Zone

$4.50 for child, $12.50 for adult, and $8.25 booking fee. They can email tickets to you.

sweet, churs Patrick

I specifically called them yesterday to find out as much info on the deal as I could, as I knew there would be lots of confusion and questions on here.

Do you have to pay for them via credit card?

Didn't ask this, but I'm assuming yes.

The 1/2 price tickets are limited right? I might grab some tickets, but need to get my season pass back from the person I gave it too for the Heart game.

UNLIMITED.

Well there may be like a 10 or 20 ticket per transaction kind of limit but no you are not limited to 1 half priced ticket per membership.

Also it just dawned upon me that HAVING to pay by credit card since it is a phone booking also incurs that stupid 2.x% surcharge doesn't it?

Small change compared to the saving but damn you ticket agencies!!!

Sorry, was meaning a total the club will sell to all season ticket holders, rather than an individual limit.

Presumably not more than 35,000 less the number of season ticket holders anyway...

Again, pretty poor having a booking fee that is not far off the cost of the actual ticket, and in the case of a kids ticket, almost double the price! Ticketek really are piss takers.

Damn..too slow for the LL package..was going to take my wife.  Will now just grab 2 silver tickets instead for us and eat out afterwards..

Hold the phone!

Don't do that yet. I am making enquiries about this to check availability. Hope to hear back today about it and will post any details here.

Sounds good...certainly keen but took too long from floating the idea and getting online...and then forgetting ticketek logon details. 

Just let me buy 10 tickets to Lovers Lounge!

Get in there boys!
