Should be renewing later this week.

Going to sign up my little brother for the first time as well.

Just signed up online. Far better process than in previous years when it's crashed mid transaction on me more than once.

Thanks to whomever extracted the club's collective digit on this one. :thumbsup:

Two more members/BBs added to the list on Friday. :beer:

As usual I rang through my renewal and I first tried on Wednesday, but gave up after being on hold for 15 minutes or so. I guess you could think that the membership dept was on smoko and noone was answering phones, but I’d like to think they were just damn busy fielding calls. It still took me about 10 minutes on hold to get through on Friday too.

:thumbsup:

Just got off the phone, myself and my old man have renewed. Was quick and easy over the phone, frustrating sitting on hold for 25 minutes though.

I renewed and made a mate join up as well to a Gold Membership on Friday after holding for 20 minutes but I stuck it out because Wednesday and Thursday I gave up after 15 min.

Once I got through the girl was very helpful with seating etc but then had trouble with the fax, that was just as busy.

Still to renew my little one junior memberships, even though they don't go to the footy its all about the numbers and the $ to the club, but I will be doing those on-line:lol:

Latest numbers via the CFC website 33,837 and 12,896 BBs

That is just under 1,700 memberships in a week plus just under 500 BBs

Looks close but the last figure is from the 12th of March and this season starts on the 26th. Last season started on the 20th so we've got 6 more days before the first bounce and they should give us a significant spike.

Last year we added 3000 in the week before our first game so I'm guessin we'll be over 36,000 by the start of the season which is about 10% up.

If we can maintain that rate of growth we'll end up with close to 45,000 (though I'm estimating 43,200 :wink:

).

Haven't received my membership pack in the mail yet - though my brother has...

...what happens if I don't get it before Thursday?

Go the membership tent on game night Sparky - they will either have it there or they will tell you its still coming and give you reserved ticket somewhere for the game.

As in, if I go there and they don't give it to me - I will get 'reserved' seating to the game, or a general admission ticket?

I only have reserved seating for home games

and I want to book reserved seat thru ticketek but I need my barcode number... :banghead:

Well if IIRC from last year, I got a reserved seat but it was our home game.

Call the club to see what they are planning for the night should your membership not be there and how you can go about getting your barcode to reserve a seat.

Got mine in the mail today, massive stuff up. I called to renew mine and my old mans membership last Monday, I was a 16 game standard gold concession member. Dad was an 11 game standard gold concession member. He got his without a hassle.

Mine however is also an 11 game adult standard gold, I don't know how they buggered it up, I said I just wanted to renew them & not change. Not happy.

Edit: Called the club, sorted it out. Refunded me the difference and are going to send out the new membership card.

Got a letter from the club today (signed by Ratts :razz:

) saying they were disappointed I hadn't signed up this year.

There's got to be a time lag in the system somewhere but it's 18 days since I signed up and that seems like a bit of a waste or money to be hassling people who have already committed.

That said, good to see them pursuing the unsigned (assuming they're not just hassling those who have signed up already).
