Crowd Attendance for Eels game

[Rooster1908]

I put in for the ballot today. IMO it'll be random... I see no reason why they'd use a corrupt process.

That said, a friend who is regularly the DJ and ground announcer for a team posted pics on FB of him attending a weekend game (as a supporter for another team). Dunno how he got it but he's a general sports fan (bigger on American sports I'd say) and knows a lot of people so coulda gotten it from somebody else who is a ticketed member.

> The only fair way is a ballot for all members that wish to enter. I say members only because thats the only certain way you know for sure its an Easts fan you're letting through.

Why wouldn't a ticketed member be an Easts fan? I think it's only ticketed members because we've paid to have our bum on the seat and would otherwise be able to watch for 'free'. They're looking to honour that payment as best as possible.

> Not a member so wont effect me but would be nice to see long term older member get a crack first . Pensioners , disable that type .

LOL maybe Bongdi will get a go if he tells them he's 80 and in a nursing home?

Actually would have thought you having such a horrid past and now making great leaps in your life and tributes to you for that would think letting the frail and disadvantage members get first crack was a reasonable idea

Oh I totally agree with you...

Was just having a cheap stab at Bongdi. But hey if the dude's actually 80 and I get up in the ballot, he can have my ticket + drinks on me.

Just to be open and honest..... I'm not really 13!

[Thirteen]

No I think Thirteen is suggesting we perform a Ballet, like Swan Lake, in tutus. Then we can all tiptoe in..

You'd look great in a tutu mate.

Anything to get into a Roosters game.

I set it up for Goughs great line and no one took it....(did he really say that or was their some poetic reengineering?).

Great story anyway.

here’s a copy and paste of the email received Dear ##### member tenure ## years member no : ##### We’re thrilled to announce that the Sydney Roosters have secured a small number of tickets for Ticketed Members for the Club’s home game against the Parramatta Eels this Saturday night at Bankwest Stadium. The NSW Government has implemented necessary public health orders for NRL matches played in June that restrict venue capacities to no more than 500 people, spread across Ticketed Members, Sponsors, Corporate Partners, VIPs, NRL and Venues. We’re incredibly grateful to our 9,000 Ticketed Members for the patience and support you’ve shown our players and staff. To ensure that all Ticketed Members have an equal chance to access tickets to this Saturday’s match, we’ve decided to hold a ballot with Members drawn at random. If you wish to enter the ballot, it’s important to note the following: The ballot does not guarantee you a ticket, but a chance to win a ticket; To complete the ballot you will be required to enter your personal details including name, email, mobile phone and membership number, necessary under the NSW Government’s public health orders; We’re offering you the opportunity to request up to two tickets so you don’t have to attend on your own, however the second ticket must be for a 2020 Sydney Roosters Ticketed Member nominated when you complete your ballot; If you are requesting two tickets then you must enter the personal details of your accompanying ticketed member so that we can verify their Membership and comply with the NSW Government public health orders; Tickets won via the ballot are non-transferable and anyone other than the nominated member (and nominated accompanying ticketed member if requesting two tickets) attempting to enter the venue will be refused entry; Members can only enter the ballot once; Successful Members (and accompanying Ticketed Members) will be excluded from next week's ballot for tickets to the Dragons match to enable other Members an opportunity to attend. Members wishing to enter the ballot must do so by 3:00pm Wednesday 17 June. Winners will be drawn at random and verified, before being contacted by phone between 10am and 3pm on Thursday 18 June. It’s important that you are available as the ticket allocation will go to the next person drawn in the ballot if we cannot contact you.

because there was chit chat about what other clubs are doing and who should get first dibs so I just put my 2 cents in that it starts and ends at paid members only. No +1's. No Gold Bronze pledge this and that.

As for the pensioners, disable that type getting a crack first what happened to all lives matter

which should also be in alphabetical order. only fair way.

Unfortunately it is a bit of a no win situation. You cannot please everybody.

Personally, I like the approach where longer term members get a heavier weighting (regardless of membership level), along with a mix of disadvantaged and/or disabled members/supporters. Hopefully we can get back to normal ASAP, meaning this situation is the exception, not the rule.
