Resource 2025 Membership - it started with an Invoice

Semi-unrelated, but every time I buy a ticket to a Melbourne AFLW home game they put me on their ****ing mailing list. Stop it! What do you think it means when I tick the "other team" box on the checkout form? Are they that desperate for supporters that they're trying to poach ours?

So I've never been to a Melbourne AFLW home game and I got that email a bit over an hour ago too.

I think I bought my dad a Dees hoody for his birthday after they won the grand final. That's the only time they would've gotten my email.

Mate I didn't even buy a ticket this season and I got resubscribed thus got the same email I assume triggered your post. Odd how I manage to get emails from both Melbourne and Richmond but can't get anything from North.

As much fun as it is to point the finger at the GoDees ineptitude, I expect this is squarely in the ****up files of Ticketmaster.

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Yeah, looking at upwards of $950 if those games come back.

It’s the worst value membership of all Docklands tenants.

And the stadium is owned by the league. There’s absolutely no reason why they all can’t be equivalent.

Is it? Have you done a full audit of all membership categories of all clubs?

I did one in 2022 of comparable Marvel tenants.

We get reamed.

Sooo we are going to get sued by Tasmania for breach of contract?

I fully expect two other clubs to step in and play away “home” games in Hobart.

Bookmark this.

One will be the Cats as the Spriit of Tasmania docks at Corio Bay now.
And the other may be Hawthorn.

GWS will be the home team for one game and then raffle the other.

 

[tazaa]

Phew that’s a relief.

Good to see they have kept it at two…

No wait, three.

Actually, four.

Four games sold off.

Yeh but if we win 4 games in Tassie in 2019 and it helps us play finals, would you be happy with that? Would you buy a ticket if we made a prelim again? Would you do everything in your power to secure a GF seat if we made it? You might laugh at this proposition, but the club is thinking this way. 4 wins in Tassie this year would have seen us in the finals.

 

[Sheezel2Wardlaw]

Geez Ticketmaster is a garbage website!

 

[DuckYeah]

pay out the remainder of the Tassie deal back to the Tassie Government and only play 2 games there next season

No, thats not how it works. You don’t have to honour contracts in this industry. You can just quit and get a payout. Lets hold Tassie to ransom so they kick us out and pay us or we’ll slander them and ruin their tourism.

Im sorry but i dont have a heap of sympathy for the Tassie members.

Yes the Melbourne crowd attendances arent great, but Tassies are way worse.

There was 1500 at the Gold coast game when larkey kicked 9. Thats from a contact at the stadium.

You can't blame them. They will all be Tassie Devils members from 2028 anyway.

It doesn't matter if we only have 500 down there, if they are sold something with access and pricing to 4 games and now its 2 thats incredibly poor by the club

I see what you did.

Yeah, thats a fair point.

Club leads the way on how to alienate members.

15 wins in 5 years, you'd think they'd be falling over themselves to make sure everything was correct and ready to go

They are still offering memberships for Tassie at $262 with access to one Melbourne game

Thats almost $88 a game now. Come on guys

Well, the 7 home games are sitting at about $90 a game this year for ‘premium’ reserved seats.

Hey hey, you are forgetting the replacement home games

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Hey hey, you are forgetting the replacement home games

That’s taking them into account @ $30 each.

$720-$120.

$600 for 7 games….
