First 50 Subscribers get the deal!

Tickets are worth $288 for the pair!

Perth people, do I have a deal for you!

Stumbled across this yesterday, called up and I was the first person to call (they didn't even know about the offer). Needless to say, I know I'm in the first 50 subscribers. Minimum home delivery is the Weekend West for $2.95/week. Lady on the phone said it's best to apply online.

Yes it's a gamble you're in the first 50, but it's not an expensive gamble. And you don't get a choice between the 2 screenings, they'll pick for you. And they're "Preview" tickets, the show is the day before official opening night (don't think that should have any effect on professionals!)

To be eligible for one of fifty (50) double passes to Wicked at Crown Theatre on either Wednesday, May 6 at 1pm or Wednesday, May 6 at 8pm, valued at $288.00 per double pass, new customers must subscribe to any home delivery package - The West Australian and/or The Weekend West before 5pm Thursday, April 30, 2015 and quote the applicable offer code: WICKED either by calling 1800 811 855 or online at subscriber.thewest.com.au/wicked.

    How long do we have to subscribe for? Can I just subscribe for one week to get the tickets then cancel my subscription?

    Nevermind, I re-read and it says "any home delivery".

  • Perth31 on 01/04/2015 - 12:44

    For how long do we have to subscribe? Can we do it for a week ($2.95) and then cancel?

  • spackbace on 01/04/2015 - 12:46

    There's no requirement for subscription :) Subscribe until you get the tickets in your hand

    • ChronoSphinx on 01/04/2015 - 12:50

      have you got your tickets yet?

      • spackbace on 01/04/2015 - 12:53

        No, but I did just apply about 5pm yesterday. Haven't told anyone else tbh! And given the ladies on the phone hadn't heard about it, and the site wasn't in google cache, I think it's safe to say I stumbled on it on day 1.

        This was on my email after subscribing:

        Within 3 business days your home delivery subscription will commence and your first invoice will be issued. Should you have any queries, please Contact Us and our friendly team will be happy to assist.

        If you are among the first 50 subscribers you will be notified shortly about your free double pass.

          Thanks. I hope West Australian send the email confirmations soon so I don't have to subscribe for too long. hehe.

  • ShamelessBargains on 01/04/2015 - 13:09

    Fantastic musical, well worth the gamble I reckon. :)

  • rabbitron on 01/04/2015 - 13:12

    Thanks op. Great find. Fingers crossed for the tickets!

  • thydzik on 01/04/2015 - 14:18

    quite tight on the timings;

    "Show dates offered will be either Wednesday, 6th of May 2015 at 1pm or Wednesday, 6th of May 2015 at 8pm"

    rang up, said tickets were still available. purchased the Saturday subscription online

    • NotJustChickenDinner on 01/04/2015 - 23:02

      thanks for the info, purchased earlier without confirming :)

    • YLC on 01/04/2015 - 23:30

      Hi thydzik may I know when did u call?

      • thydzik on 01/04/2015 - 23:39
        +1

        about 30 mins before I posted that.

        I actually only spoke to subscriptions who said she believes there were still available.

        I was waiting on marketing who ran the promo to call back when I called at lunch time but they never go back to me, so call back at about 5pm.

  • YLC on 01/04/2015 - 23:43

    Thanks for the info!

  • thydzik on 06/04/2015 - 09:43

    received the first paper on Saturday, that was quick

    • spackbace on 06/04/2015 - 10:22

      Hmm wow I didn't! Unless someone stole it :/

      • ChronoSphinx on 07/04/2015 - 10:10

        I didn't get my paper delivered on Saturday either :(

  • Paulb5 on 07/04/2015 - 18:00

    Got my paper but no confirmation of tickets. Anyone heard anything about them?

    • YLC on 07/04/2015 - 18:17

      Nope…heard nothing as yet.

    • spackbace on 07/04/2015 - 18:25

      Nothing here

    Called because I haven't heard anything yet, they're going to contact marketing to find out whats up

    • YLC on 09/04/2015 - 15:22

      Heard anything yet from the Marketing team, Spackbace?

      • spackbace on 09/04/2015 - 16:05

        Nothing

        • ChronoSphinx on 11/04/2015 - 19:34

          I received the email on Thursday that I was successful :) Just waiting to receive the tickets in the mail.

        • YLC on 11/04/2015 - 20:22

          @ChronoSphinx: congrats! Anyone else get the email too? I didn't, that probably means I most certainly miss out on the double pass :(

          I signed up around 10:30 am on 1st April, what time did you sign up ChronoSphinx?

          I just received another promotional mail in post on Friday asking me to subscribe at $2 per week (weekend west), which is significantly cheaper than this ($2.95). Will call up to cancel my current subscription as there is no point to keep paying for the higher rate subscription and get nothing.

        • ChronoSphinx on 11/04/2015 - 20:34

          @YLC: Bad luck YLC. According to emails, I received the "subscription confirmation" email at 1 April 2015 9:51:28 AM.

        • spackbace on 11/04/2015 - 21:21

          @ChronoSphinx:
          Nothing here…
          They'll hear about it on Monday that's for sure!

        • spackbace on 11/04/2015 - 21:23

          @ChronoSphinx:

          I got mine march 31st at 428pm

        • thydzik on 11/04/2015 - 21:30

          @ChronoSphinx:

          nothing here, I sent them an email, let's see how they respond on Monday.

          If you don't receive it, they should be able to tell us what number subscriber we were.

        • ChronoSphinx on 13/04/2015 - 14:03

          @thydzik: Hope you and Spackbace were able to get clarification on the Wickedtix. Mine didn't come in the post today…so it's another day of postie stalking.

  • spackbace on 13/04/2015 - 14:22

    Ok called, Chrono may have slipped through the cracks on this.

    Apparently what's happening is they're waiting until the 30th April to determine 'winners', to make sure they're eligible, and sending information then. As I said to them, if that's the case they're cutting it damn fine, with 6 days to receive tickets!

    Already booked for that day off, I'll be pissed if it goes pear shaped!

    • thydzik on 13/04/2015 - 14:57

      thanks for the follow up.

      still waiting on a reply to my email.

      • spackbace on 13/04/2015 - 15:01

        Yeah I emailed on Thursday I think, still haven't gotten a reply :P

    • ChronoSphinx on 13/04/2015 - 15:16

      That is strange! I did ask about the tickets when calling about the first missed delivery.

      • spackbace on 21/04/2015 - 09:08

        Given its a week later, have you got your tickets yet?

        Also come to think of it I didn't get my paper unless someone stole it :/

        • ChronoSphinx on 30/04/2015 - 13:41

          Nope, not yet.

          If you didn't get your paper delivered or if it was stolen, give them a ring and they will basically credit your account for one delivery. If you call them on the day you are expecting the paper, they will check if the deliverer is still in the area and you might get your paper on that day. At least that was what I was told when I didn't get my paper one week.

        • spackbace on 30/04/2015 - 13:42

          @ChronoSphinx:

          Sorta not phased about the delivery if I get these tickets lol ;)

          @ChronoSphinx:

          $12 outlay for $250+ tickets? :)

  • thydzik on 13/04/2015 - 22:26

    got an email reply;

    "Unfortunately we won’t be able to tell you as of yet, as we will have to wait until the end of the competition – 30 April 2015. You will then be advised if you have qualified."

    • spackbace on 13/04/2015 - 22:29

      Ok well good to know that they're all on the same page now.

      Up to you if you wanna do like I did and get the day off now!

      Also means it's probably only gonna cost $12-$16 for these tix ;) (4-6 weeks worth of papers)

  • thydzik on 22/04/2015 - 22:49

    Anyone else get the Subscriber Bonus
    "Monday to Saturday home deliver for eight weeks at no extra cost"

    • YLC on 22/04/2015 - 23:19

      No…did u get it via email?

      • thydzik on 23/04/2015 - 00:05

        Got it sent in the mail.

    • spackbace on 22/04/2015 - 23:44

      Today was the last day, so hopefully we hear something tomorrow. It would be stupid if they left it till Monday, given the show is on Wednesday!

    Thanks OP, but I scored 16x8 packs of bog roll from the Woolies deal yesterday, so that should last me a while. This would be a good deal for anyone else who needs something for wiping.

      Got my phone call too :) She said I was allocated the 1 pm session.

  • YLC on 01/05/2015 - 19:16

    Got a phone call and was told I was allocated the 1pm session, anyone who have been allocated the 8pm session that are happy to swap? Happy to pay $30 extra to exchange for the 8pm session. Anyone interested please PM me.

    • spackbace on 02/05/2015 - 00:10

  • redspida on 05/05/2015 - 11:52

    Got phone call last Friday to collect tickets at their front desk. Was told tickets are randomly allocated, couldn't tell me session time. Picked up tickets yesterday for 1pm show.

    Oh…My…God!

    Here I was wondering why I didn't get the paper. Turns out some idiot blocked it on the 4th April (probably after I called and said I didn't get it, and asked about the tickets). I paid my invoice on the 1st May, and noone called to tell me I had just credited my account.

    So called just then to cancel, she said it's already cancelled, and oh by the way we need to refund you the $11.79 that's in credit!

    End result, free tickets :) woooo!

    • ChronoSphinx on 06/05/2015 - 21:18

      Thanks for sharing the deal! I liked it better than Les Mis a few months ago, even with better seats. I was most likely seated next to an ozbargainer with his/her partner as they brought their own snacks/drinks lol. (as did I)

      • spackbace on 06/05/2015 - 21:22
