Now I have to pay extra to attend?

How about a refund reducing the cost of my membership to 15 games?

In all seriousness it's a bit of a mess.

Based on the fact that the general admission component of access to Skilled Stadium is included within your home and away membership, you will have the opportunity to purchase one of these seats from Richmond at the price of $32.80 which is the $54.10 seat less the GA component of $21.30.  The concession seat price is $30.00 and the junior price is $13.90.  To purchase your ticket to the Round 4 game please click here.  Please note ONE ticket per eligible home and away member.

RFC WHAT A DISGRACE.

especially when we can get a reserved seat at the G on saturday night for $14.75
More to do with Geelong and the AFL, wouldn't be an issue if we were not playing there  :banghead

Hold on a tick JVT
RFC has purchased these tickets an on selling them,
how on earth is a ticket to Geelong worth $54.
You can go to the luxury of Etihad for $45.00 less memberships

You should be having a go at geelong Jack, they set the price, not RFC  ::)

jack get a grip

Blame Geelong

Suggest you look at their prices and what they charge before you go off

This is not the fault of the RFC

And BTW regarding the "change" from 16 tom 15 game

Blame the AFL & Geelong for that too

The RFC were only notified oabout the problems down there in Feb = FACT

was the membership changed to 15 because we play a home game in cairns?

No I would'nt expect the club to subsidise entry to away games for members. That would just further encourage this poo.

Have a go at Geelong and the AFL over this one. I'm sure your find plenty of other opportunity to have a go at richmond

Well all done

I am off to that pathetic excuse for an AFL venue Simmonds Stadium in round 4

Thanks to the RFC membership team for your efforts in getting the best possible outcome for your members  :clapping :clapping

and why would that be ?
My point it is cheaper to go to Etihad than Geelong
And if you read my posts, a ticket for the G on saturday night for members is $14.75.
To Geelong in 2 weeks, $32.00
You work that out GENIUS !!!

Fair enough Jack but you were carrying on like the RFC was swindling us all by selling the tickets at some sort of mark-up. Which clearly isn't the case

Prices down there have always been over the top for what you get. Perhaps that's how they manage to make a minimum of $600k for a home game

And let's be honest  I suppose they have to pay for that new stand somehow  :whistle
