    Membership

    I have signed up for Pay by the Month Membership. The problem is that nothing has happened. No credit card withdrawl from my account, nothing. I call the club and talk to a young bloke there who can find no record of my transaction but asks me if I was called. I tell him yes and he says he can't follow up on that but if nothing has happened in a week to call back. Is this a normal practice? Maybe one of the staff that monitor this site can tell me! I find it quite strange and would like to find out what is happening with my membership but now I feel sensitive about calling before next Monday.

    I did pay by the month back in 2010 and was all smooth. Until my credit card expired, but that's another story!

    My wife and I paid by the month until she was advised that she hadn't paid. Bottom line was a lot of phone calls and angst. Eventually I went in Swans office and sorted it out.

    Seems the system only (at that time) allowed for one member paid against a single credit card... I recall that the system thought we were being charged a double payment and rejected the second transaction... I think they changed the date of one of the payment and resolved this issue....

    Once set up we are happy.

    Pity we don't have a seat to sit in, given the stadium / building we sit in will be demolished soon. But I guess we will be told soon... :-~

    Hi Rod,

    Sorry to hear about the problems you had with your wife's membership. If you ever have any problems in the future, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Redevelopment information for reserved seat holders will be on the way to you very soon. Red Zone members received their first communication yesterday, and you're up next! Should be in the next few days!

    Thanks,
    Jenny

    Tony,

    You're not the only one who has had trouble with smart-pay membership renewals. I changed my credit card last year (and charges went through OK thereafter). But for some unexplained reason when this year's payment plan began, Ticketek's system did not renew my membership.

    I received multiple calls from an "outsourced" company asking why I hadnt renewed. Each time I told them I had, reminded them I changed my credit card, reconfirmed same credit card, etc, etc. After a number of calls from them, I became utterly frustrated and decided to contact the membership department directly to sort it all out. The membership department was great and confirmed my renewal on the spot. Interestingly, Ticketek are still trying to contact me saying I havent renewed - even though my payment has been processed some time ago.

    I dont know this for sure but it seems to me like Ticketek are making a dog's breakfast out of the renewal process while the membership department are doing a great job cleaning up Ticketek's mess. Unfortunately however, I wouldnt be surprised if there are a number of other members like me who think they have renewed and get to the start of the the season and realise their memberships have been cancelled.

    So my advice to you and to anyone else in the same boat is to call the membership department directly, they are fantastic and will be able to sort things out quickly.

    Jenny,
    Was that an email communication or something in the post? As if it was an email I did not recieve it (And I've had a suspicion I haven't been recieving the newsletters from my Sydney based membership all the time, but the ones from my Melbourne based membership are coming through fine so it doesn't matter so much).

    I assume it is probably because I'm still on an antique Country Membership rather than a full red zone membership (I simply can't get to Sydney for every home game so have just kept renewing it as is).

    The new system allows you to change the date on line so those cc issues of the past won't happen.

    Hi Wolftone57,

    Sam just let me know about your membership. We're just following it up now, so should have some more information for you very soon.

    Thanks,
    Jenny
