The issue is not about cost, the issue is with people turning up. People who buy reserved seat membership choose to do so and obviously like the fact they will have a seat when they go to the games in an area they like to sit

But what can you do man? If people buy their reserved seat memberships they are also buying a right to turn up when they please. The club is getting their money up front, so I guess there is little we can do. Especially considering that we have the member seat sale programme under way to try and rectify this.

Face it, Sydney people are generally highly fickle. Unlike inMelbourne people will NOT understand if you break an appointment because you have to go to the footy. Hence people often go missing once in a while. But when they PAY EXTRA for the right to turn up when it suits them, what can you do?

Personally I want as much unreserved seating as possible. As it just makes introducing friends to the game so much easier. And makes the atmosphere 1000% better (ie 1997). But when the club derives upteen % extra income from set-seat memberships, who am I to argue?
