Don't bother, this Pandemic hasn't scared enough people yet. Next year it's coming back mutated and even more scarier so we all beg for the vaccination.

We (6 of us) did the Diamond pledge. We figure its the only way you'll get to a game this year as Diamond get first shot at tickets. If 7,000 people do the Diamond and you do the 50%...you aren't seeing any games.

Also you know that they will Jack the membership prices over the next few years to recoup the losses from this year so the Diamond price freeze saves you from that as well.

All the options are shitty so it basically forces you into the Diamond tier.

Not being a member I was wondering if they gave the option of cancelling the option of going to games this season and using the money you paid to simply pay for next seasons memberships? and of course should there be a price increase you just pay the difference?

Craig, thats the credit option

Thanks Alexkrad,

Sounds like they have given members plenty of options to choose from... well done Cats.

I only have a problem with a bronze member diamond pledge has the same entitlements as a captains club member diamond pledge. A captians club membership cost 3 times more than a bronze membership. It should be based on a dollar value of your pledge. A captains club member gold pledge gives more money to the club but a bronze member diamond pledge has more entitlements.

I go halves with mates in my membership as I have cricket saturdays - we split the fixtures.
That is not really great for either party as even if one gets the allocation, no guarantees of a ticket at that point.

Leaning credit.

This is what happens when the government didn't build a large capacity stadium of 30k, to 40k seating.

My issue with the Diamond Pledge (and I stress that it is MY issue) is that it is essentially a free for all. If there are say 6,000 tickets available, then the First 6,000 people (subject to ticket classes)to jump onto tickettek at the right time, get the seats. So somebody could get tickets to all games, and someone else could miss out every time.

I've gone the credit option. I don't really like the idea of not supporting them, but it works best for me.
If prices go up, then fair enough I will pay my share then.

Beware of the downgrade option
Whilst you keep your membership entitlements, you lose your seats.

That's the dilemma I'm facing too...the other bad thing is I go to the games with 3 other mates and it would prob mean none of us would be sitting together either so what's the point?

Apparently if you take the Credit option and everything goes back to normal then you can apply your credit back to the season and your memebership stays the same.

It would be good to know before the date closes how many daimond pledges have been sold.

This looks rather complex.

What are other clubs doing?

Pretty sure you can add other membership numbers to your ticket purchase on Tickitek (ticketmaster...whichever it is).
I go with my family (6 members) and my dad gets our finals tickets, pre season tickets etc all in one hit and we sit together.

"I go with my family (6 members) and my dad gets our finals tickets, pre season tickets etc all in one hit and we sit together."

But are all your memberships on the same address? I think you get a password for each household which means you might not be able to use multiple passwords on the one transaction?

I would assume the password will be exactly the same as is is for finals tickets, you get a password for each membership and input them all at once.

Yeah ok, that makes it a bit better. I'm only bronze so might call them next week to see how many pledges have been made.

We have really good silver seats; secured before we moved to the Arena. But Silver so large that even if i get tickets they could be up in the nosebleeds.

"I'm only bronze so might call them next week to see how many pledges have been made."

The problem is that with only 50% capacity there is no guarantee how many seats will be available in any category.
So, say there are normally say 3000 Bronze seats with 2000 seated members; and of those only 1000 have opted for the Diamond Pledge. You might think "ok 50% of 3000 is 1500 so it will be easy for me to get my tickets if l Pledge."
But there's no guarantee there will be a proportionate division of seats. If there are only 1000 Pledges; they might make only 500 seats available n Bronze and convert the remainder to Silver.

keep in mind how much they rely on their corporate sponsors. With some already struggling due to Covid, corporate clients are unlikely to pay for seats they don't get. So (with distancing) you may find that corporate areas are expanded.
Then you have the courtside seats that will need to be relocated.
Then logic says they will try to look after their Captains Club and Platinum members.

You’ll note that the Wildcats have been very clear; that even if you opt for the Diamond Pledge; you are not guaranteed ANY tickets.

l put it to them that a simple solution was simply to give everyone tickets to half the games. That is the one comment they dd not respond to.

Also as you can only get tickets of equal or lesser value, Bronze members may have gold, silver, platinum and CC members encroaching on their numbers.

I'm leaning towards refund now and going to get burgers and beers at Varsity bar to watch the games... :/

I do love that the refund option is the only one where you need to call them up, remind me of trying to cancel foxtel...
