As we march towards 20 years of Red V Membership in 2021 one thing remains true – the unwavering support of our dedicated members is truly the lifeblood of our proud club. With you in our number we are able to forge ahead through the toughest times.
Your patience and understanding since the season was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic has allowed us the necessary time to arrange what we believe to be the best outcome for you, our valued members. We are pleased to now provide you with further information regarding your ticketed membership(s).
Ticketed members will have the opportunity to select their preferred resolution to their 2020 membership from the following two options.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Members will be required to choose a resolution for their membership order by completing our online form by COB Tuesday, 30 June, 2020.
If a member does not choose a resolution by that time, they will default to the 'Red V is a Part of Me' option, where a member consents to the St George Illawarra Dragons retaining 100 per cent of the 2020 membership fee.
Members must select ONE preference which is applicable to ALL ticketed members and membership packages listed on their order. It is not possible to select different preferences in the instance where an order contains multiple individual ticketed members and/or packages.
If your order contains membership packages for multiple ticketed individuals, please ensure you discuss these options with these members prior to submitting your preference on behalf of all listed on your order.
Please ensure your read and understand our
Red V Membership and COVID-19 Terms and Conditionsbefore responding.
HOW WE DETERMINE GAME ACCESS?
For home games where the crowd size is restricted due to government health regulations, eligible members will be entered into a member ballot to be drawn at random. Ballot entry will correspond to the venue at which your membership entitles you access to.
The amount of ballot entries will correspond to years of consecutive membership tenure per membership number:
- 0-4 years consecutive tenure – one entry per membership number
- 5-9 years consecutive tenure – two entries per membership number
- 10-14 years consecutive tenure – three entries per membership number
- 15+ years consecutive tenure – four entries per membership number
Once a membership number is drawn in the ballot, the additional entries based on tenure for the same membership number will be disqualified from being drawn again in the same ballot.
Members successfully drawn in the ballot will receive one ticket per membership number, regardless of the amount of packages purchased in that member number, and will have the opportunity to invite one guest to attend the game with them provided that guest is also a 2020 ticketed member who has selected the 'Red V is a Part of Me' resolution to their membership.
Eligible members will be required to register their interest to attend each game via an online form, which we will email prior to each home game.
Please be aware, due to social distancing and other health regulations, you may not have access to your allocated member seat. We will allocate your ticket to the seating category purchased with your membership package. If the capacity of your seating category has been reached by the time your member number is drawn, we will offer you a ticket allocation in the next best available seating category.
In the event general admission members are not permitted access to the 'Hill' areas at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium and WIN Stadium, we will allocate these members in the bronze category seating.
In the event crowd size restrictions are lifted and venue capacities return to normal, all eligible members will receive access to the game as per their membership venue entitlement and to their allocated member seats.
For the Round 9 fixture at Campbelltown Stadium, eligible members will be required to register their interest to attend and will be entered into a ballot.
For more information regarding game access, please read our
Red V Membership and COVID-19 Terms and Conditions.
