So I rang the club today to upgrade my son to a reserve seat membership as I already have 1, managed to get 2 seats together but it was a struggle had to change to a dry area, so if anyone is wanting to get a reserve seat sorted for next year best you get onto it lots of membership sections are sold out already and from what the lady said they have been smashed for reserved seats 

i also understand that all reserved seats now include the grand final guarantee tax

up until last year there were some reserved seats without the gfg, though not advertised online

Hopefully it is easier in a wet area.

That is usually the case

Seriously? Should this not be communicated to fans on rollover arrangements before money is deducted from accounts? If anything we should be receiving this for free given that we have been unable to use reserved seats for two years.

I’m waiting until round 5 to renew. Sick of the false hope.

that's what they told me on the phone. it was only kept available the last few years for existing members and not advertised on the web page for memberships. given our current premiership window i wasn't too fussed.

That is dangerous. You won't have your membership card at the ready to throw down the players race if we drop an early game. 😁

(I think in Balmeys first year we dropped the first 4 games.  I was so angry I went into the rooms after game 4 to give them a spray.  I saw Todd and Brett lying on the floor, absolutely shot. They would have needed a stretcher to get to the showers. I didn't say a thing.  I felt like an absolute  human reproductive organ. Mind you some of the crowd were gobbing off.)

I'm booking my Sept flight to Perth as we speak

I heard a rumour we won't be getting a physical membership card this year. It will all be digital. Which is a shame, because I have every membership I've hard since I cared about keeping such things

Difficult for the MFC to produce 200,000 membership cards in fairness

We can opt for a physical 'souvenir' membership card.  Haven't seen one yet but I'm guessing it is similar to a regular membership card but it won't get us into the ground.  Entry is only via a mobile phone.

Exercise the option when re-newing.

Interesting on the digital membership.  The physical one's are important for junior members, my son loves getting his and showing it off.

 

I put it in early. This is the one year I’ll allow a long delay.

Surely we have to increase membership capacity for all membership sections. If you're expecting a substantial increase in memberships you've got to put them somewhere.

GF guarantees will be at a all time high.

Agree entirely Hope there are waiting lists ready!

was told on the phone when renewing that you can request a physical card (with a player's name on it).  I did.

don't know about the online or auto-renew options

I’m not sure what all the confusion/ chatter is about 

My Trident membership rolled over as usual - no mention of any other conditions or changes

I can sadly only look from afar at your lofty spot in the membership list Bbo.

Just in time for the WA borers to open and Hayden Burbank and his mate to be looking to head back home.

The 'souvenir' card option is there for on-line renewals.  Don't know what happens with auto-renewals.

From memory LH I was sent an email asking what I wanted this year 2022 re the package.

This  year I knew I would probably not get to any games so I just took the electronic membership, no scarf,  card etc. My wife told me at the time you are sure to win it in 2021 you will have nothing from this year not even a winning scarf. How right was she, I should listen more often. 2022 I asked for everything!!!!

Check out these pages for the goodies in a Trident membership.

No mention of a membership card or a lanyard.  

As mentioned a 'souvenir' card is optional and free.  I was told entry to games will only be via mobile phone/app.

The other choices (free) are shown on the right below.

If you would like the card or any of the freebies call the club.  The auto-renewal won't know 🙃
