    Is the club 'punking us' by sending us 'How to Book tickets' messages?

    OK.

    So - I get it - they have to send these out...but why send out a bazillion text messages (in my business, these aren't free to send) to people who cannot possibly use them.

    If there is a game in Perth in a few weeks - sure - send me the messages. But I can't go to South Australian. Well - I can I guess, as long as I am prepared to potentially quarantine when I come back (I don't know if you know this, but the WA premier is apt to close borders and introduce quarantines at a moments notice)...but I will still (just as I did last week) receive 5x SMS messages re- ticket purchase (one for each membership).

    Surely there is a way we could opt in/out of these right now to keep costs down? Plus, it genuinely feels like they are tweaking me sending me links to games that I once could have and probably WOULD have attended but now simply cant.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    I haven't received any text messages. Are you receiving them simply because if you aren't in Vic or NSW it is at least theoretically possible to attend the games?

    I think that's it. I've been getting them all finals series.

    Yeah no texts here - tipping they're going to the non-east coasters.

    Hahaha....when I posted I did think to myself "I shouldn't say east coast....there'll be someone from Brisbane getting them!"....and the good thing has lobbed.

    I should have just said Vic and NSW! The COVID states!

    Thread should be "Is MJP Punking Us" given the majority of us are in Melbourne!
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    I wish I got a text.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    You want extra weird? My wife got a text with her membership barcode, despite never actually having been a member.

    I assumed I may have used her details when signing up my daughters extra membership (she has been a SC member since birth but gets an extra one through Auskick). But the two codes they sent me for my daughter both worked, so it couldn’t have been that.

    The extra phantom code meant we got an extra ticket. ?¿

    I'm on the way. I'm going to get in the boot and pay someone to drive me through the border check.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Make sure they have a permit, so they won't be checked. If you know anyone at one of the trucking companies, that would be ideal

    I'm a required worker but I don't get shifts in SA. But I do have an exemption certificate. I'm not sure I'd have it much longer if I used it for that though.

    I bought 4 tickets so family in Adelaide can attend. Dogs kit on as a prerequisite.


    Also didn’t get a text about it, however AFL Gold Member with Club support.
