Members Guest Tickets this year

[Wardy]

Ok its probably in the membership package (but I cant find that at the mo) How many guest passes (if any) are being allocated per member for the SCG & Telstra Members reserves this year?.

None at the SCG. I dunno for Homebush.

If it is the same as other years at the SCG Wardy, you just ring the week before, and they will allocate them to you. As far as i know, there is no limit, just restricted by pre-sales etc.

They tend to be more expensive than normal seat prices though, so you are often better just getting standard tickets. Although your friends probably want to sit near you ! unlike mine

Rok pretty much answered it re the SCG - not unexpected Iguess.

In the past I have gone to Ticketec and bought 12 members reserve guest passes on one membership (suggest that you go to the photo processing shop on Wynyard ramp - they never check!) I have heard that it might be only 4 this year - anyway we wait and see! but thanks for the info LB

Wardy, I have NEVER bothered with members guest passes for Homebush.

At least once a year since the move to Homebush I have talked a large group of people from work to come and watch a game. They all buy their tickets seperately, some on the night at the ground, but we all meet in the "Swans Members Reserve" around aisle 125'ish and sit together. Nobody has EVER checked tickets at the aisle entrance, not even for the sold out Collingwood game a few seasons back.

I'd suggest you save yourself the bother and do the same.

Just wanted to make it absolutely clear as reading the above it is not.

There will be NO Guest Passess for the SCG this year. I suspect they have either taken over some of the Noble for members being pushed out of other sections of the ground or using it for other types of admission.

Olympic Stadium guest passes are available as normal.

Had this confirmed via a call to membership a few days ago.

I got the message very clearly by Rok that there were no members guest passes for the SCG - It was Telstra that I was concerned about - as I wasnt sure if you were limited to 4 - it just that I was asked to get 2 from my Telstra allocation for someone else, but I wanted to get another say 6 tickets - might suggest that they just get general admission and as BBB said meet at the members reserve. But thanks for confirming same.

The lack of SCG members guest tickets kinda sucks but doesn't come as a surprise. Pity, as this will be the first season since I became a member that I've actually got non-member friends interested in going to the games!! Round 1 @ Telstra is looking good though.

Can only assume that the number of members reserve memberships has been increased in response to the forced eviction of the hillites. The clothing police and the MA Noble seat mafia will have a fine old time next year.

I think you'll find they're called the hillbillies.

There is also the hittites, an obscure group to which BBBH and Plugger once belonged. If their disciples haven't been hunted to extinction, then they're certainly getting pretty close. Their successor group is the nigglites, who worship Jared Crouch as a god.
