that's a bit disappointing, is it possible then that they won't sell them all?

Any more publicity about this?
 
Edit:  Just had a thought - might notify all the parents from my kids' teams last season.  Maybe clubs could send out emails?  (maybe a bit late now)

Official phoenix facebook and twitter have been getting out the message pretty well I'd say, they've posted the info a few times.
Still, the more the merrier!
lets all get it out there!

I have just phoned the store - they confirm that they have tickets left.  And yes - they are $5 and are available to anyone.

The only place I have heard about the $5 dollar tickets is in here so I don't think it was a great marketing effort by the club.

There have been big ads in the Dompost the last 2 days advertising $5 tickets for the Jets game and the possibility of the 500,000th fan at the Fury game.

Actually, that's not true. What the ad in the paper says is "Visit the Phoenix website for special ticket pricing". So then you go to the website and you click on the "Phoenix vs Jets. Click here to buy tickets" link which takes you straight to Ticketek which says nothing about $5 tickets. Even if you click on the "Enter Official Website" link you still need to read the story "Phoenix Owner Raises Money For Flood Relief" to find the $5 ticket info.

Great idea, but piss poor marketing. I have bought ten tickets so far and am just dishing them out to people who had absolutely no idea about it.

And not even a third of them sold yet.

Only 2500 of the tickets were for sale at the shop, the other 2500 are being sold at the races on Saturday.  So 1/3 of 5000, say 1650, is about 2/3rds of the shop's allocation.  Not bad.

I think there were even less people at the cricket the previous day, and with better weather as well.

I love Yellow Fever, but 7000 members? ARF!
 
Well over half of those "members" have never even made a post on here, and only around 1,700 have even logged in (or been "active") in the last 6 months.

and just cos they are a member on this forum does not mean they actually attend home games or have a season pass......I think is more likely that we have 3500ish season pass holders, of which a percentage will/have purchased the $5 tickets.....

To be fair, it'd be better that the YF supporters don't get all the 5000 tickets, because they are like to go anyway. The 5000 should be additional supporters.

I agree. I went in and bought my 5, but im giving them away to work mates who have yet to have attended a phoenix game. Should be a good way to get these guys hooked especially if the Nix down trail the Jets like last time!

And seeing as sales are a little slow i may head in this arvo and pick up some more and hand them out to a few others

5000 tickets at $5 should sell surely, expect a crowd of 8-9k
