3) This year I was able to miss a few games (due to work) and still make the most out of the season ticket. 09 membership doesn't afford that same luxury, hence ill only be buying tickets to the games I will definitely be able to make."In some ways we?re less predictable to ourselves and sometimes that can be detrimental because we don?t really know where we?re going" - P.RoosComment

This thread is way too civil. Thought I'd come to the wrong site.
Silver stand (upper Messenger) ticket holder, with platinum ANZ seats. Feeling for the dedicated members who find themselves with a hefty increase for their much loved seats, while internally saying "woot!", though I'll probably spend the savings on some crappy merchandise anyway.
Easy to say, but I think if they'd classified that area as Gold, we'd just be stumping up the extra cash after venting my spleen on this board :-)Comment

Yeah I would, coz I forked out for prem club the past years and gave my numbers to my friends as I couldn't attend, and just cant afford to push it this year. My budget is a tiny bit tighter this year with cost of living increasing (my rent just went up $200 a month) as well as fuel and all that is in between.
I buy m y raffle tickets and merchandise every year and I always bring random friend sto games and cover their tickets coz I want them to come along and experience my love of the game, but this year something has got to give, and prem club is it.Comment

I love my seats, so after consideration my protest at the price rise will be dropping the Premiership Club which I have had since it was introduced in 2004.
Allowed me to organise very cheap flights and accommodation for both GFs, but I would still feel confident about getting a ticket if we managed to get into the 09 decider - I actually haven't met any Full Club Members who missed out in either year.
I joined as a member in the early 90s and continually get letters thanking me for that which is nice, but nearly every letter talks about "rewarding" members like me, but this never happens. I am not really interested in rewards, but I would like a year where my membership doesn't rise, I can't remember the last time there wasn't at least a small rise.Comment

Hear hear. Then again, one could argue the reward for us members from the early 90's was the 2005 premiership, not to mention those wonderful games in 1994 and 1995, winning with odds against us of 5-1 and similar.
Yes, I remember Carlton and Barassi's 500th game as player/coach.10100111001 ;-)Comment

Depends what their objectives are. Surely bums on seats is as desirable for a club as pure profit, for a whole range of reasons?
I for one, think this is a matter of poor timing on behalf of the club. Above CPI price rises under the current circumstances ain't good policy. Having said that, I am not across the details.He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

I guess now that the "Red Zone"has come down in price and assuming the membership benefits havent changed from previous years (I havent been bothered to read the fine print)then that means the MA Noble & Ladies stands should be packed to the rafters in 2009.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Nathan Rees must have taken a leaf out of the same marketing book the swans did. Make it seem like prices havent gone up by espousing about how they have put a very small amount of seats down while increasing prices against the majority.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
