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.

I’d be annoyed if I didn’t get a text to a match I can potentially go to! Exhibit a: the grand final. If the club didn’t send a text to people in sa who can currently fly to and from WA I would be livid

And that's fair enough T&T but why not set up a simple opt in/opt out process to save literally '000's in message fees? I get 5x messages (which I get cos each one has a code etc) but it's a lot...

Yes, you probably could. Not sure how it works though.

The first part is winning our way in. Once that happens, the club will receive an allocation of 'x' tix (in theory - that's what happened in 2016) and depending on your membership level etc you get access to them.

As someone who pays the social club excess to 'ensure' I get tix to a gf (even though the fine print now says that even this doesn't 'guarantee' a ticket) I am assuming I will get a 'window' to buy tickets and enter barcodes...

Back to DtS's question - if you have the barcodes of the memberships with eligibility, then in theory you will be able to access the allocation that generous individual would have otherwise had access too...

I am not sure exactly how big our (Club) allocation is going to be in the event we are successful this weekend BUT I know a number of people who have already secured seats...so I guess it is pre-determined already??? Regardless, you have to know it is going to be another TM shamozzle trying to get it all sorted out.
