Destination Mudgee as Eels go on bush bash

[Tony Bongo]

i'd say the memberships would be based on the games at parra and ANZ and not include the mudgee game. THey also do a Parra stadium only membership which would be good too.
I hope a couple of those parra stadium games are on Saturday so i can come down for at least 2.

I think a Season Ticket should include entry to all home games no matter where they are played. You can't call it a season ticket if it doesn't cover the whole season.

Good result, the trust can eat a d*ck.

The last game can be played v Melbourne in Adelaide at Hindmarsh Stadium.
Everything Victorian is hated here.

I have a big backyard, a caravan a couple of spare beds and plenty of floor space for anyone who needs a bed. (well nearly anyone)

We have 8000 season ticket holders mate.
Can I make the first booking?

where do we all think the 1 remaining game will end up?

If it turns out to be a blockbuster it should be at ANZ, if it is not, hopefully the remaining game goes to the Central Coast, Perth, Darwin or Adelaide.

i hope the parking and food and beverages are top notch - or there'll be trouble

So what you are saying, is that you want the Mudgee ground to have something Parramatta Stadium doesn't?

 

[TheParraboy]

Manly have also been exploring the possibility of tackling the Raiders in Schenzen, China, for the past two months

I say we take a game to Mumbai India

 

[Parra Pride]

I say we take a game to Mumbai India

We should take a game to Japan.

8 games a year at the stadium. Probably two of those Monday nights and another two Fridays. Two maybe three games at that ANZ shit hole. One at Mudgee.

I'm starting to wonder if full membership is worth it for me anymore...

Same here...

Go Mudgee. Wine tasting ahead if the game and its three hours closer for me than Sydney. Woo hoo. Hope Bart gets his discount though.

Thanks for your unexpected concern, Big C.... I've been to Mudgee this year and it's a lovely place. If I was going there for a weekend I would n't time it to clash with the footy though, as there's so much more to do and see. And yes, I will be expecting a 16-25% discount on ticketed membership for the two home games that have shifted away from Parra Stadium/Sydney region!

Wonder if they'd be able to give a package to Parra Stadium only games???

I've been asking the same thing for a while Jake. Hopefully this delay and the movement of two games will see this sensible ticketing option become a reality (or if not for this year, then at least a 16-25% discount on 2012 prices to make up for it).

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Do STH's get entry to Mudgee? Is Mudgee big enough? Will there be any spots left over for the locals?

 

[bartman]

Maybe allocating an early game to Mudgee is a sneaky way to get around the issue of Members possibly not receiving their STHs until about Round 4, what with the current delays?

Sorted... Now, where to send the Mrs?

Sorry bart, but can you tell me where you are pulling these numbers from?

Please remember the club gives you a 35% minumimum discount on your tickets for being a season ticket holder and buying 12 games. If you buy less games, logically you would expect the club to start droping that % discount.

If we offer a 10 game ticket (exculding mudgee and the other game which may or may not be in Sydney at the moment). I would expect the club to offer a smaller percentage as a discount, and if that were true, say its 25 % I would expect to see a maximum 10% drop in the season ticket price.

For 8 games I would not bat an eyelid if they dropped the discount percentage to 15% and overall you might get a 18% drop in your season ticket.

Expecting to get a 25% drop, when you already got a 35% discount, or indeed in our case a 45% discount sounds a little gready to me.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Sounds a bit entitled, doesn't it?

It's as if the club needs season ticket holders more than it needs money.

You're right MITS, I should have said 16-20%.

We pay ticketed membership including a season ticket for home games. There are 12 home games a season. Presently that has been 10 Parra Stadium home games and 2 ANZ home games - all within the Sydney region. I consider the two free ANZ away games as a bonus addition to the season ticket, due to reciporical arrangements made by the Stadium separate to our 12 home games.

Moving two home games out of Sydney (ie. Mudgee and one tbc likely SE Qld or Perth etc) means that we are left with 10 out of the 12 home games in the Sydney region. That is, 16% less than before - hence a 16% cut.

The other way of looking at it means the calculation based on home games moved away from our true home ground at Parra Stadium. Moving a further two out of ten home games away from parra Stadium and outside Sydney means that 20% less than before. Obviously for people who feel that supporting the Homebush Eels is what they've sign up for would only be looking for the 16% cut.

That calculation does not take into effect the discount you get currently, and expects that discount to remain constant even if you are spending less with the club. As I said they may reduce the discount and you would be left paying a price that is more than you were expecting.

Yes, I'm not taking into account the discount (per game, compared to gate prices) received currently, in my comparison of how many Sydney/Parramatta home games we'll lose from last year to this year. My expectation of the 16-20% reduction in package price is based on the calculation of the reduction of content (games) in the new packages, any less of a reduction represents poorer value imo..

If the club chooses to reduce the current discount (per game, compared to gate prices) in their recalculated 2013 packages, then that would represent even more of a reason for Members to question the value of the club's 2013 offer.
