nah they are on sale to the public now. I am a first time member.

the renewing membership drive finished a couple of weeks ago.

We definately had until the 5th to renew coz i was a renewing member myself.

this is from the brochure saved on my desktop

Season ticket holders Priority period
9am Monday 11 July – 5pm Friday 5 August.
General public sales
Commences 9am Monday 15 August.

I only asked coz if they have opened it to the public early, or more likely just take who they can when they can, it lessens my chances of being able to change seats

I have bugger all chance anyways as I am with 3 others so to a find a new spot with 4 free seats would be a challenge and a half

Either way : welcome aboard mate, welcome to the family

I am still member #619, but I also have 4 other season tickets linked to mine now - 2 childrens, another adults and a concession card. Not a bad increase in regular attendees from me :D

Good work even if last years season tickets holders just went out and found one person to jump on board we would hit 10,000 season ticket holders.

The secret is to ask, took a mate of mine to a few games, took my next door neighbours son to a few games, took my dad to a few games. Told them season tickets were available and did they want one, told them cost, told them I would buy them and they pay me back. All 3 have done so.

Am going to see if I can get some more casuals along this year to a few games and try the same thing next season.

good stuff to anyone who plays a part in convincing people to sign up as season ticket holders. I will have to ask if there can be an International membership too if im heading overseas I still would gladly be a non-ticketed member.

I'm looking forward in four weeks to the Gold Coast United match. Hopefully I can meet some of you forumers down there at hindmarsh.

not long to go now

Shall be trying to convince at least three of my mates to sign up this year and I'll advise them that I dont have FNS tickets this year. Let's hope they do take it up.

RU do you know if there will be FNS tix this year?
I haven't seen any info on the website, but you seem to have your ear close to the ground.

As for membership, I renewed my old spot but asked for a seat change. I thought Aug 15th was the cut off date for this and although I've heard nothing I'm not worried - Yet!

Good to get Nick Mavoramatis and Michael Markham back in the team I support.
Truth is though that the team is already in the finals and this last game is really of no real consequence to them - although it's always good to WIN.
The boys that stepped up did an excellent job for their mates anyway.

As far as I know, FNS tickets have been dropped as it was costing the club quite a bit to offer it. It's a shame, but in the end, those who I took in previous years are definitely going to attend games again - so the job of the FNS tickets is done on my end.

Good work. Maybe they need to use a slogan for their membership drive. Perhaps the "Ask a friend" membership drive or something along those lines. You just never know what that might achieve.

Thanks RU.

Pity for my younger mates who I gave the tix to last year. They're all EPL star struck and I had hoped that watching football live, would sway them, but they're not really 100% behind football, just the " stars " of Gerrard, Torres etc - basically tosspots rather than lovers of the game!
Still different strokes for different folks.

It would be wonderful if our membership tally was already that high. However, the pessimist in me says that that cannot realistically be possible at this point. Who knows?

Have been wanting to since day dot, but today I finally became an AUFC member.

Feels good man.

Season ticket holder. Memberships aren't out yet.

We'll all need to get used to the new terminology.

Don't spoil my party! :lol:

Nice work man, welcome aboard

The family grows ever bigger

me too
I posted this on another thread somewhere from an email from AU

Dear AUFC Season Ticket Holder,

Due to the high number of season ticket holders wishing to change seats, we are experiencing a backlog in the allocation process.

We are aware that sales are now open to the general public, but please rest assured that you will have first priority of the seats before the general public are allocated seats.

We anticipate to complete this process this week, but if you have any queries, please feel free to call the Ticketek AUFC Season Ticket hotline on 1300 100 336.

We apologise for the delay, and we appreciate your patience in this matter.

Regards,

Ticketek Season Ticket Team

Thank God. I'm struggling badly with withdrawal symptoms.

Wonder how many booths they'll have open at the gate because I absolutely f*****g loathe Ticketek and thought of giving them another commission on my ticket makes my blood boil.

With ya on that one man.

Just get your tickets online, print them out, and away you go. Don't bother with lining up.

I think he's trying to avoid giving his booking fee to ticketek

but they prob get it on gate sales anyways

i just resent ticketek for the consistent cockups to members, and i know from phone calls that the AU people aren't particularly enamoured with them either from phone calls.

Sounds like United are making huge inroads into the city am i right? i stopped over there on my way to Darwin last year for a day, and when i was out and about i saw 4 or 5 15yo's in Red's jerseys and another little 6 year old with a Member keyring and a United bag, am i right in saying this?

Also, who owns Hindmarsh Stadium?

You saw a 6 year old/s key ring?
May i call you hawk eye?????

Nah but as red Eye Rob pointed out on another thread you DO see a good amount of the bumper stickers on car windshields these days. It always makes me smile and surreptitiously pump my fist when i see one aha.

I actually still have 3 of my last 4 member's sticker. If i could just find the missing one id put one on each corner of the back windshield.

though I still have a sticker and that crappy old mini silky member scarf they gave out years ago on the back dash. Good enough I say

Okay, so I got the phone call yesterday and called them back today from the ticket mob in Sydney, confirmed my Gold seat and the new Gold seat I added SWU4 Row F seats 91&92, very close to where I was last year, [SWU4 F95], but all the seats directly around my original seat renewed:) So I had to shuffle across a bit to get a pair of seats together[that's good news for those at home keeping score:)] I guess then that this week is the allocation phase. The lass indicated that the packs would be mailed out in 3-4 weeks. Plenty of time before the start of the new season one would hope.

SA Government, I would have thought.

what's the lease price they charge the club like? cause i was thinking, Hindmarsh would probably be heaps cheap to buy, and also i heard Adelaide make a match-day profit so i dunno i get all ambitious about this kind of thing and start thinking they could try and buy it off the govt or something :p guess its just being silly though.
