General Bombers Talk Questions and discussions that don't warrant a thread

[simoro1]

Yes you can sir

yay! Thanks

 

[The Jet]

if i have a membership card which i would use for tomorrow's presale, can i also buy tickets for mates during the same transaction? Or do i need to wait till thursday?

If they don't have a membership card you got to wait till Thursday and they pay the higher price anyway.

 

[The Jet]

Guess I was wrong then. But the higher price thing without a membership card still stands. Wih my flexi membership a GA Upgrade to reserve seat is $15, for non members it would be $28. Hope that helps.

Asked in another thread but was sadly ignored.

With my silver memberships am I able to buy tickets on Wednesday for non members?

Hey guys, sorry for the newbie question -

So I've resigned as a member after years of being AWOL. I purchased a bronze membership which has given me a seat to home games at Etihad & MCG.

Am I right in assuming so, for all home games, all I need to do is get my membership card scanned at the gate? So for the Melbourne game, I just take my membership card, get it scanned and sit in the seat allocated to me? Voila? That easy?

And for away games, I just need to put my barcode number in and upgrade to a reserved seat for a small fee?


Thanks in advance!

**VENT WARNING**
So yet again it doesn't pay to be an essendon supporter interstate! I've gone from being a beyond the boundary member previously to a national member last year.

Then last year the one game played at the gold coast that I had access locally, I had no way to purchase additional tickets for the people I wanted to go with... benefit lost...this year, no games in QLD so we get access to an extra home game at the MCG (if its not ticketed) (very unlikely to be used) & the one thing that I would actually like and figured I would of had, is access to purchase tickets for anzac a day before general admission goes on sale with other members, and I can't do it. I'm yet again I'm stuck waiting for general admission!

I don't care about discounts I'd just like a day up on general admission to get my tickets secured to probably the only game I'll get to in a year! Seems like a reasonable ask to me....at the moment I'm just having trouble seeing value in being a national member with the included options! I got more kit with the beyond the boundary membership for less cash...

And now I look to discover that if I held an 11 game flexi membership instead I would get access tomorrow, all the same inclusions (especially since there is no QLD games) and its a whole $10 more than what I'm paying now, more than worthwhile if it means I can buy myself and father a ticket today! Guess I'll be making some calls in the morning.

So, I went into the city early to ticketek to get my Anzac Day game tickets. I was 3rd in line with my flexi 11 home membership with concession ready. I asked for the best seats, then I asked for them to look for seats on level 1. No good!

Best seats were Level 4 Q5!! This was at 9:01am today!

Lets go back to last week ok? Essendon vs melbourne tickets wenton sale wednesday last week. I go in on last friday 92 days later) and got front row (row a) near the point post.

Yes I know the Anzac day game is much better but from 1 extreme to the other is just not good enough. Yes I am going I am happy about that but sitting with GOD in heaven to watch the match i am annoyed at.

Anyone else get these bad seats?

I've tweeted ticketek, essendon football club and the membership department, doubt I'll get any sort of reply. Sure I can be happy about going to my 1st anzac day game but the seats are a joke.

Rant over

Yes you can but as a non-member they will have to pay more for their tickets Andronicus

If you have a bronze membership with reserved seating then your tickets have already been allocated, hence your membership not being valid to purchase tickets to this game. (Assuming this is for ANZAC Day or other home games)

I have a supercoach related question regarding Pat Ryder's role/performance against Adelaide - anyone care to direct me to the appropriate thread on your board?

Cheers... the thread had slipped off the radar as no activity since last Friday.

 

[Beerfish]

So we're either not that popular or so good people don't even have any questions.

That's okay, you can just bump the thread in the future if you have any questions.

This bloke puts up full replays of most of the different footy shows. Great for people who don't have the time or access to such shows. Be warned. He is a bloody booloose supporter, so there can be a heap of junk uploaded as well.

I'm still not getting my head around what I can and can't do with my flexi 11 game membership. I want to sit in GA at the Essendon v Melbourne game on Saturday night, do I have to buy a GA ticket or will the barcode on my membership get me in?

From the website:

http://membership.essendonfc.com.au/packages/view/116

Benefits

• Barcode to access member discount when purchasing a reserved seat to any of the 11 Essendon home games at Etihad Stadium or the MCG (includes ANZAC Day)
• Access to a Grand Final member ticket ballot when Essendon is participating
• Access to member presale for weeks 1-3 Finals games when Essendon is participating
• Annual subscription (Apr & Dec) to Bomber Magazine (one per household)
• Full voting rights (18 years and over)
• 2013 membership pack mailed directly to you (Adult pack shown, hover mouse over to view Squadron pack)
• Access to purchase member-only merchandise
• Free entry to Essendon VFL home games at Windy Hill (upon presentation of membership card)

Bolded is the bit pertinent to your question. Basically, Flexi doesn't give you automatic entry to any game, at either the MCG or Etihad- it gives you access to member discount prices only.

Hi guys, apologies if this has been covered already.

I'm trying to work out if I'm actually going to be able to go to a home game at Etihad with my flexi membership this season.
With almost the whole top level looking like it's for reserved seat members, what is the go here?

I'm supposed to use my membership for a discounted reserved seat but will this be possible, even against Gold Coast, GWS, Port etc?

At the moment it seems like all I can access is reserved seating at the MCG level 1 behind the goals....
