Season Tickets - Clusterf**k Edition 2013/14

Draw now out, when do the season tickets come on sale.

Don't leave it too late Welnix - I can only hold off spending my disposed income for so long.

 

Also I want to see more angst on this forum about ticketek.

 

ugh... hope Ticketek can manage a better job than they did last time.

Ticketek just confirmed the ground hasn`t been booked yet

 

Three feckin months until kick-off, and we've already had over two.

Give me strength lord!  Mods take control.

 

You mean to say we're not even half way through the off season?! This is fecking terrible news!!!

Getting all excited now (not slightly incontinent excited, but excited nevertheless).

 

Roar members get a free members scarf. Make it happen Clemenger.

Must say I am very jealous, and wish it was viable for us to do the same. They raised their season ticket prices $5 and match tickets $2 to help cover it. Not sure it would be possible for us to do the same in the short term sadly.

I think some sort of partnership between the public transport network and the Nix coming soon, due to the photoshoot we did a few weeks ago when a bunch of the Fever jumped on a Go Wellington bus and sang chants etc.

So much for no rent a choir!

White noise BBQ did it better...

(although the bus left without us)

Fire up farkin?

Somewhat loud noises?

 

It was more rent-a-crowd rather than rent-a-choir, as photo's don't have sound...

They do at hogwarts

No... they just move... 

They do at the hogwarts at disneyland. 

Hogwarts isn't real. Even the one at disneyland. 

I'VE BEEN THERE,IT IS SO REAL!

Stupid muggle.

So does your season pass give you free travel on the train from platform 9 & 3/4?

Also did you sneak a peek at Hermione in the shower?

 

 

We are only halfway through the off season ??

 

Longest ever.....

At least we have local leagues to keep the fix going

Tomorrow will be halfway.

About time to revive the Sack Ricki thread?

 

3 more hours till halfway..... even worse

 

Start a sack the offseason thread !!

"Sydney FC coach Ian Crook and playmaker Nicky Carle are calling for more A-League matches to combat the disadvantages of such a lengthy off-season.

The A-League went into recess after the grand final on April 22 and won't be back for its eighth season until the first round starts on October 5 - a gap of five and a half months.

Crook, who had his first pre-season training session at the helm of Sydney FC on Monday, said while players continue to train on their own in the off-season, nothing can replace a competitive environment.

He said one solution would be to add nine more rounds to the current 27-round regular season and have each team play each other four times instead of three, with each team playing two home games and two away games against each other."We can't continue to go on with such a huge off-season," Crook said.

"I've actually suggested an extra round of matches between teams and have all teams play each other four times. I think that would be the fairer way to do it. "Or whether you have a cup competition in there.

"I don't know what the solution is but the plain fact as a coach is you don't want to have the period off that we're having now."

Crook also feels the relatively short season is stunting player development with most other leagues around the world playing closer to 40 games a season.

"We can't continue to try to develop players when they're only playing for six months of the year, it just doesn't work," he said.

"Every other country in the world has longer seasons.

"Just last night Japan beat our under-20 team 5-0. The game has evolved so much in Japan, they train all the year through."

Carle also supported a 36-game regular season and said it would not only help the league but the benefits of more matches would extend to players vying for national team selection.

"I think everyone finds the long off-season a bit annoying, but that's the way it is," Carle said.

"I'd love to see more rounds come into it ... I'd be massive supporter of it.

"It would keep you fitter for a longer period of time.

"It would be better for a variety of reasons. It means you may get a few more injuries and younger players may get more chances.

"And for people who want to make national teams, with such a long break it really affects your chances."

Seems fairly obvious. So it won't happen. Like having more than a 4 man sub bench (including GK).

79 days to go.  Getting a bit excited.

 

 

 

 

Oh, no sorry, it's gone now.

I never thought the day would come when I'd recommend the Sydney coach and a Sydney player for a Nobel prize ...

but that day has arrived!!

and if that doesn't work can't we take the A-League to the International Court of Justice at the Hague for crimes against humanity??

#offseasonhell

and... if that doesn't work ... perhaps that jumped up little prat Tony Ryall, and Pharmac will come to the party, if only to reduce NZ's health budget expenditure on Prozax etc, 

#aaarrghh #losingthewilltolive

Okay when are we gonna get some information about deals? I hope the new owners realise how hard its been with tiketek in previous years...

So hopefully next week. I think apart from the Wanderers and us, everyone else has their season tickets on sale already. The Jets announced they had passed the 5,500 mark on Wednesday and on the Victory forum yesterday someone posted that they have 7,738 sold so far.

Whats our average season ticket holder count? Anyone know how many were sold last season?

let the tiketek debarcle begin - I'm wondering how they can stuff it up this year, they had so many seasons to get it down perfect (stuffing it up that it is)

I think last seasons numbers were in the lower 2000's, but can't seem to find the Stuff article that mentioned it. The RWC & Terry saga didn't really help sell tickets. Hopefully this year we can have the open day again.

24 July for existing season ticket holders which is, erm, tomorrow? Has anyone had any info on this? And where are the prices?

Angst!  

We want angst, we want angst!

We want prices! Clearly they know the prices, so why not just publish them since they want us to pay said money from tomorrow onwards?
