The following is a copy of a post over on Redleg Talk:
Hi,
I have been having some correspondence with Carly re kids entry to the Members at Aami for the Magpies game.
I have a season ticket so am able to sit in the Members and wanted to see how to get my kids in there as well.
Considering that the kids are normally free to go to SANFL games I am not very happy with the SANFL's reply as shown below.
[Hi All,
Following queries regarding the possibility of SANFL Club Season and Home Match ticket holders being able to purchase Guest Passes into the Members Reserve for the upcoming SANFL Curtain Raiser matches at AAMI Stadium, the following process will be in place :
§ Should a Season or Home Match Ticket Holder (with access rights to the Curtain Raiser) wish to bring a friends or family member to the match, they will be able to purchase up to two (2) guest passes into the Members Reserve. These will be available at the regular Guest Pass price and can be purchased on the day from Gate 6.
Adults $40
Concession $30
Junior (aged 6-14) $15
§ If a Season Ticket Holder from either Club, or Home Match Ticket Holder from the home Club does not wish to sit in the Members Reserve, they can head to Gate 4a at the Northern end of the Stadium, and present their ticket to the ticket window to redeem a reserved seat in the Public Area.
§ All other Club Members, or Home Match Ticket Holders for the away Club, will be able to purchase their discounted ticket from Gate 4a upon presentation of their Club Membership card.
An updated ticketing access table has been attached for your reference.
Should you have any further queries, please let me know.
Thanks,
LIZ POTTER
Stadium Administration Coordinator]
So at the moment I either pay $30 for the two kids to be in the Members or I go and get a reserved seat in the Outer.
Not impressed and going on previous posts on here reckon there's a few others that will feel the same. END OF QUOTE.
I briefly spoke to Consumer Affairs in my lunchbreak today and the lady is going to look into this. She believes that because I purchased 4 kid's membership which clearly advertised "free entry to all minor games" in November and the fact that the SANFL would have had to agree with this advertising, a breach of the false advertising act may of occured.
She is going to investigate and has asked me to ring back on Tuesday - stay tuned!!
